Army Wives Season Finale
The season finale of Lifetime's smash hit "Army Wives" didn't disappoint. The show ended its wildly successful freshman run with a major cliffhanger as all of the shows actual army wives are in the "Hump Bar" struggling with a rushed deployment that is brought on by a terrorist threat.
As usual, the episode is very well done. The base is under high alert as munitions are missing and there is a lot of "chatter" that may mean an attack on the base. The touching episode will leave many in tears as the struggles with separation are dealt with.

No - that's not the cliffhanger. Part time character Marilyn has decided to leave her husband and he has followed her to the bar where she will meet her lover and drive away. But he has other ideas. It appears that he may be the one that has been stealing the munitions from the army and has strapped them to his chest.
All of the wives plus Roland see the man walk in - he is followed by young Amanda who notices his bulging jacket and she enters the bar. The man walks in - sees his estranged wife and her lover. Amanda is within few paces, the other cast regulars are also very close. He squeezes the detonator.
The screen fades to white. Great cliffhanger this series is phenomenal.
