In the closing moments of its season finale Sunday, ‘‘Desperate Housewives’’ flashed ahead five years.
And while there were no hints to the White House’s occupant or the state of the economy in 2013, viewers got a few clues about Wisteria Lane’s future.

Spoiler alert: Read no further if you haven’t yet seen this episode and want to preserve its surprises.

So Shia Labeouf shows up last night on Letterman. He's there to, duh, promote "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the big bruhaha out next week in which he stars with ye olde Harrison Ford. But nearly the entirety of his visit is a long narrative of what happened to him last November when he was arrested in a Walgreens in the Loop.

Edie, played by Nicollette Sheridan, in the "Desperate Housewives" episode "Mother Said" that aired last night.

‘‘You know, Ron Paul is still in the race,’’ McCain joked Wednesday during a taping of Comedy Central’s ‘‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.’’

McCain deadpanned about the marathon race between the Democrats: ‘‘I hate to watch it. It’s terrible. My heart goes out to them.’’
