PREVIOUSLY ON "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES"...
I WANT A CHILD. WE MADE A DEAL -- NO KIDS.
TAMPERING WITH PRESCRIPTIONS...
THE FILE ON NOAH'S DAUGHTER.
UNCOVERING EVIDENCE...
Edie: WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR, EXACTLY?
[ CAR APPROACHING ] WHAT WAS THAT?
BREAKING AND ENTERING...
BREE IS A LADY.
A VERY BEAUTIFUL, CLASSY LADY.
REMEMBER, THEY TEND TO END UP WITH DOCTORS,
NOT PHARMACISTS.
AND A WHOLE LOT OF REVENGE.
Mary Alice: SINCE SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
SUSAN MAYER WANTED TO BE A MOTHER IN THE WORST WAY.
OH, WHERE'S YOUR BOTTOM? YOU'RE SO CUTE. YEAH.
AND FROM THE FIRST DAY
SHE BROUGHT JULIE HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL...
[ Gasps ] OH! OOH, HOW DID YOU...
SHE WAS.
OH, MY GOSH.
DESPITE HER DESIRE TO DO WELL BY HER DAUGHTER...
[ JULIE CRYING ]
SUSAN SUFFERED THROUGH COUNTLESS FAILURES.
OH, I'M SO SORRY!
HOW DID I FORGET...
OF COURSE, IT TOOK SUSAN A FEW YEARS TO REALIZE
EVEN THE BEST OF PARENTS
MAKE MISTAKES NOW AND THEN.
[ TAPPING AND RATTLING ]
BUT NOW THAT JULIE WAS A TEENAGE GIRL,
SUSAN HAD STARTED TO REALIZE
THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR ERROR.
JULIE, WHAT IS ZACH DOING OUT THERE?
I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO SPEAK TO HIM ANYMORE.
I'M NOT. THAT'S WHY HE'S THROWING GRAVEL AT MY WINDOW.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
I'M GOING TO HANDLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
ZACH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE -- OW!
AAH! OH! OH!
MS. MAYER, I AM SO SORRY. IT'S JUST...
YOU KNOW, ONE PEBBLE WASN'T WORKING,
SO I TRIED A WHOLE HANDFUL.
OW, OW. LOOK, I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
OH, HOW? ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE ME YOUR CORNEAS?
MOM, LAY BACK.
I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO JULIE.
SHE HASN'T BEEN RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS.
WELL, I'M HERE NOW. WHAT DO YOU WANT?
COME ON, JULIE. I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
YOU KNOW, TALK, HANG OUT.
MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF WE JUST COOLED IT FOR A WHILE, OKAY?
WHY?
WELL, YOU JUST THREW ROCKS IN HER MOTHER'S FACE.
HOW'S THAT FOR A START?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO BREAK UP WITH HIM FOR WEEKS.
YOU FINALLY GAVE ME AN EXCUSE.
YES, SUSAN HAD FAILED MANY TIMES AS A MOTHER...
YOU DID GOOD, MOM.
SO SHE TOOK HER VICTORIES WHERE SHE FOUND THEM.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Mary Alice: SPRING COMES EVERY YEAR TO WISTERIA LANE.
IT'S THE TIME WHEN FLOWERS START TO BLOOM,
WHEN BUTTERFLIES EMERGE FROM THEIR COCOONS,
WHEN BEES BEGIN TO SEARCH FOR NECTAR.
SPRING IS ALSO THE TIME WHEN A YOUNG MAN'S FANCY TURNS TO...
OBSESSION.
HELLO THERE.
OH, MY HEAVENLY DAYS.
REX, LOOK -- IT'S GEORGE.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, BREE.
DR. VAN DE KAMP.
GEORGE.
SO, HOW'S YOUR HEALTH?
NOT GOOD, AND MY CARDIOLOGIST IS AN IDIOT.
THE DOCTOR UPPED HIS DOSAGE TWICE,
AND IT'S STILL NOT HELPING.
I'M SURE IT'LL ALL WORK ITSELF OUT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY RUNNING INTO YOU BOTH.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE EXTRA TICKETS
TO A BONSAI EXPOSITION IN MOUNT PLEASANT FRIDAY NIGHT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?
I WOULD LOVE TO. REX?
A WHOLE EVENING OF BONSAI TREES?
WOULDN'T IT JUST BE EASIER TO SHOOT ME?
PROBABLY.
HA HA. HA HA HA HA.
HA HA HA HA.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE JUST GO BY OURSELVES, THEN?
UH, ACTUALLY, BREE, WE -- WE HAVE THAT THING FRIDAY NIGHT.
WHAT THING? WE DON'T HAVE A THING.
I THINK WHAT YOUR HUSBAND IS TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT HE DOESN'T WANT YOU GOING OUT WITH ME.
REX, ARE YOU STILL JEALOUS?
NO.
IT'S TRUE THAT WE DATED DURING THE SEPARATION,
BUT GEORGE AND I ARE JUST FRIENDS NOW, AREN'T WE?
STRICTLY PLATONIC.
BUT IF YOU FEEL THREATENED...
I DON'T FEEL THREATENED.
GOOD.
THEN IT'S A DATE.
SO ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A PURCHASE TODAY?
DO YOU KNOW, I HAVE FINALLY CONVINCED REX
TO BUY HIS FIRST ORCHID.
MAKE SURE YOU STUDY UP.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO OWN PRECIOUS FLOWERS
WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE PROPER CARE OF THEM.
YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE? WEEDS.
THEY JUST POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE,
AND YOU HAVE TO WORK SO HARD TO GET RID OF THEM.
I FIND WITH THE RIGHT CHEMICALS,
YOU CAN GET RID OF ALMOST ANYTHING.
SEE YOU FRIDAY.
MRS. SOLIS.
WHAT A SURPRISE.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN HERE IN QUITE SOME TIME.
YES, YES, I KNOW.
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT THROUGH A DOWNSIZING PHASE,
BUT WE'VE SNAPPED OUT OF IT.
LIFE IS GOOD.
OH, AND THIS WOULD MAKE IT SO MUCH BETTER.
EXCELLENT.
SLIP INSIDE. SEE HOW THAT FEELS.
OH.
I'D LOVE TO HAVE THIS IN MY DRIVEWAY BY SATURDAY.
I'M HAVING A BIG BARBECUE. I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE IT.
HOW EXCITING. WHAT'S THE OCCASION?
I'M THROWING MY HUSBAND A GOING-AWAY PARTY.
REALLY? WHERE'S HE GOING?
IT'S, UM...
IT'S A SORT OF GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED SABBATICAL.
HOW LONG IS HE GOING TO BE GONE?
EIGHT MONTHS.
SIX WITH GOOD BEHAVIOR.
ISN'T THE LEATHER INTERIOR WONDERFUL?
IT IS. IT IS.
IT'S JUST THE SMELL'S A LITTLE INTENSE.
THAT'S BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTED FROM ITALY.
IT'S 100% ITALIAN CALF.
[ GULPS ]
[ VOMITS ]
I AM SO SORRY. IT JUST HIT ME OUT OF NOWHERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S SO WEIRD.
SMELLS HAVE BEEN MAKING ME NAUSEOUS LATELY.
BOOBS TENDER? ACHY BACK?
YEAH.
HAS IT BEEN GOING AROUND?
ONLY FOR CENTURIES.
I WENT THROUGH IT ALL WHEN I WAS CARRYING MY OLDEST.
THE TRUTH IS, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FIT
A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE BACK OF THAT TINY SPYDER ANYWAY.
THE 4-DOORS ARE MUCH ROOMIER.
WHAT -- WAIT -- UH, I'M SORRY --
YOU THINK I'M PREGNANT?
NO, I'M NOT PREGNANT.
OH, YOU JUST HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS.
I-I JUST ASSUMED... WELL, YOU ASSUMED WRONG.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
I'M ON THE PILL, FOR GOD'S SAKES. OKAY.
YOU KNOW, AND ANOTHER THING, I DON'T WANT A 4-DOOR.
I WANT A SEXY CONVERTIBLE, AND I WANT TO BUY ONE RIGHT NOW.
I'LL GO START THE PAPERWORK.
WELL, NOT THIS ONE. I VOMITED IN THIS ONE.
RIGHT.
WE'LL FIND YOU A FRESH ONE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
Woman: PETERSON ADVERTISING. MAY I HELP YOU?
LYNETTE.
YOU FORGOT YOUR HALPERN FILE.
OH, MY GOD. LYNETTE.
IF THERE WAS ONE PERSON
LYNETTE NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE AGAIN,
IT WAS ANNABEL FOSTER.
EIGHT YEARS EARLIER, ANNABEL HAD BEGGED TOM TO MARRY HER,
BUT HE TOLD HER HE WASN'T THE MARRYING KIND.
THEN ONE DAY,
TOM HAPPENED TO MEET A RISING YOUNG EXECUTIVE
BY THE NAME OF LYNETTE LINDQUIST...
AND AFTER A FEW TORRID WEEKS,
TOM DECIDED PERHAPS
HE WAS THE MARRYING KIND AFTER ALL,
CAUSING AN EMBITTERED ANNABEL
TO MOVE BACK TO CHICAGO PERMANENTLY...
OR SO LYNETTE HAD HOPED.
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
HA HA HA. THANK YOU.
AND YOU --
YOU'RE HERE IN THE OFFICE --
TOM'S OFFICE.
YEAH, GOING ON THREE MONTHS NOW.
OH.
DIDN'T TOM TELL YOU?
IT, UH...
MUST HAVE SLIPPED HIS MIND.
HA HA.
AH, AFRAID TO TELL THE WIFE
YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE OLD GIRLFRIEND, HUH?
HA HA HA HA.
I GUESS THAT MAKES ME YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.
HA HA HA HA.
WELL, I'LL LET YOU GET BACK TO WORK.
SEE YOU LATER.
CAN'T WAIT.
OH, I ALMOST FORGOT.
YOUR FILE. HERE.
WHOA. HA HA.
HEY, PAUL. WHAT'S UP?
SOMETHING'S BEEN NAGGING ME, EDIE.
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.
OKAY.
THAT NIGHT I FOUND YOU IN MY HOUSE --
WHY WERE YOU REALLY THERE?
WELL, YOU KNOW WHY.
I CAME BY TO DROP OFF YOUR KEY.
SOME THINGS WERE MOVED AROUND MY LIVING ROOM.
WHAT WERE YOU LOOKING FOR?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
DO I HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE?
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
SUIT YOURSELF.
OKAY.
SUSAN MADE ME DO IT. SHE HAS THIS FIXATION
ON WHY MARY ALICE KILLED HERSELF,
AND SHE KEEPS BLATHERING ON ABOUT BLACKMAIL NOTES
AND DEAD BABIES -- OH, AND SHE GOT
REALLY HOT AND BOTHERED WHEN SHE FOUND THE NAME ANGELA
WRITTEN ON ONE OF YOUR VIDETAPES.
DID SHE FIND WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR?
NO, YOU CAME HOME
BEFORE SHE HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH THE VIDEO.
I SEE.
SHE SORT OF THINKS YOU'RE EVIL.
THANK YOU, EDIE.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
SUSAN MAYER'S OBSESSION WITH MARY ALICE
ALMOST GOT ME ARRESTED.
NOW PAUL'S AFTER HER.
IF I LIKED HER BETTER, I'D WARN HER, BUT...
YOU KNOW.
THANKS.
SUSAN?
UH, I'LL TALK TO YOU GIRLS LATER.
STILL AVOIDING ME, HUH?
NO, NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I HEARD THAT YOU AND EDIE BROKE INTO PAUL YOUNG'S HOUSE.
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
EDIE.
WELL...
YEAH, WE DID. UM...
WE WERE JUST LOOKING...
IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT WAS DUMB.
LISTEN, I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT GUY.
WELL, I WAS PLANNING ON DOING THAT ANYWAY.
GOOD.
MIKE?
I KNOW WHY I WAS PLANNING ON STAYING AWAY FROM HIM.
WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM?
I JUST KNOW HE'S A BAD GUY.
SO PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH HIM.
I WON'T.
I PROMISE.
SO I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE PHARMACIST.
GEORGE. WHAT ABOUT HIM?
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD GO OUT WITH HIM.
PLEASE DON'T BE THIS WAY. HE'S THE ONLY FRIEND I HAVE
WHO'S INTERESTED IN CULTURAL THINGS.
BREE...
I'M WORRIED
BECAUSE HE IS OBVIOUSLY STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
NO, HE JUST WANTS TO BE FRIENDS.
HE TOLD ME SO.
WELL, WHAT ELSE WOULD A MAN IN LOVE SAY?
HE'S DESPERATE TO SPEND TIME WITH YOU.
HE DOES NOT SEEM DESPERATE TO ME.
I SAW THE WAY HIS HANDS TREMBLED
WHEN YOU TOUCHED HIS SHOULDER.
THEY DID?
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED DATING, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME.
I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
LISTEN, CONTINUING TO SEE HIM
WOULD JUST BE GIVING HIM FALSE HOPE.
WELL, I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO HURT HIM...
AGAIN.
NO.
YOU DON'T.
I EVEN THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA
TO SWITCH PHARMACIES.
REALLY?
WELL, OKAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO MISS MOST ABOUT HIM?
GEORGE ALWAYS HAS A WAY
OF MAKING ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
YEAH, HE'S A TERRIFIC GUY.
HONEY, DO YOUR HANDS STILL TREMBLE WHEN THEY TOUCH ME?
HA HA.
NO.
BUT COME ON, WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 18 YEARS.
YES, WE HAVE.
AND YOU STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN I NEED YOU TO LIE.
EXCUSE ME.
UM, THIS HOME PREGNANCY TEST -- IS IT A GOOD ONE?
I GUESS.
OKAY, UM, DO YOU HAVE A RESTROOM?
IT'S FOR EMPLOYEES ONLY.
OH, IT'S RIGHT OVER THERE, MRS. SOLIS. HELP YOURSELF.
THANK YOU.
WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT BEING RUDE TO CUSTOMERS?
YOU'LL STICK A SMILE ON YOUR FACE,
OR I'LL KEEP YOU IN BACK STOCKING SHELVES
WHERE NO ONE HAS TO LOOK AT YOU.
BREE.
WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE. WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?
DIDN'T WE JUST FILL
DR. VAN DE KAMP'S PRESCRIPTION LAST WEEK?
GEORGE, AS IT TURNS OUT,
I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO WITH YOU TO THE BONSAI EXPO.
OH. WHY NOT?
I THINK IT'D BE A MISTAKE FOR US TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME TOGETHER.
DR. VAN DE KAMP SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ME. WHAT WAS IT?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
PLEASE, TELL ME.
HE SAID YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH ME.
[ SIGHS ]
THAT'S --
THAT'S STUPID.
I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU.
I'M NOT.
THE TRUTH IS, I'M IN LOVE WITH GINGER.
GINGER THE STOCK GIRL?
YES. IT'S VERY SERIOUS.
OH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
WELL, WE'RE TAKING IT SLOW, BUT SHE IS DEFINITELY THE ONE.
OH, MY GOODNESS. WELL, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.
LISTEN, UM, A FRIEND OF MINE IS HAVING A BARBECUE
FOR HER HUSBAND ON SATURDAY, AND I THINK YOU SHOULD COME.
REALLY? YES, AND BRING GINGER.
GINGER --
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE CAN MAKE IT.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO BRING GINGER,
BECAUSE IF REX SEES THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER,
THEN HE'LL RELAX.
OH.
UH...
OKAY.
Gabrielle: SON OF A BITCH!
YOU ARE OUT OF TOILET PAPER.
BREE, I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
LYNETTE?
HEY, HONEY?
ARE YOU HOME?
THREE MONTHS?
GOD, YOU -- YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
WERE YOU EVER GOING TO TELL ME?
I WANTED TO, BUT I KEPT PUTTING IT OFF.
I KNEW HOW YOU'D REACT.
CONGRATULATIONS. YOU READ ME LIKE A BOOK.
WHY WOULD YOU HIRE THAT WOMAN?
LOOK, TECHNICALLY, PETERSON FOUND HER.
I JUST VOUCHED FOR HER.
TOM --
COME ON, HONEY, I'M JUST HELPING HER OUT.
IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO.
LOOK, SHE WAS DEVASTATED WHEN I LEFT HER FOR YOU.
I FELT BAD.
DO YOU STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER?
ALL RIGHT, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU.
COME ON, YOU CAN TELL ME.
YOU STILL CARE ABOUT HER, DON'T YOU,
JUST A TEENY, TINY LITTLE BIT.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE A GOOD GUY.
THAT'S ALL.
WELL, YOU CAN'T WORK WITH HER.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO, QUIT?
TALK TO PETERSON.
MAYBE HE CAN GET HER TRANSFERRED.
I MEAN, WEREN'T YOU GUYS PLANNING
ON STARTING SOMETHING UP IN BELIZE?
HONEY, YOU'RE CRAZY.
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
IF SHE STAYS, I WILL HAUNT YOUR OFFICE.
I'LL BRING YOU LUNCH EVERY DAY.
I'LL BRING THE KIDS TO VISIT.
I WILL CHANGE DIAPERS ON YOUR DESK.
EVERY BIRTHDAY CAKE IN THE BREAK ROOM,
EVERY RETIREMENT PARTY, I WILL BE THERE...
WATCHING HER.
WELL, I BETTER GET YOU A PARKING SPACE,
'CAUSE SHE'S STAYING.
DON'T YOU THINK IT SPICES UP THE ROOM?
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
OH, I WAS JUST LEAVING YOU A GIFT
TO APOLOGIZE FOR, YOU KNOW, THROWING GRAVEL IN YOUR FACE.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
NO, I KIND OF DID. SEE, I WANT US TO BE FRIENDS.
YEAH, WELL...
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
WHY NOT?
ASIDE FROM YOU BLINDING ME?
YOU KNOW, SEVERAL WEEKS AGO,
YOU FREAKED OUT IN MY HOUSE.
YOU SCREAMED, YOU THREW FURNITURE AROUND.
OKAY, WELL, I REALIZE THAT I WAS OUT OF LINE THAT NIGHT,
BUT I WAS UPSET.
AND WE HAVE TO GET OVER THAT
FOR JULIE'S SAKE.
FOR JULIE'S SAKE?
HOW DO YOU THINK IT MAKES HER FEEL
THAT HER MOTHER AND HER BOYFRIEND
CAN'T EVEN GET ALONG?
HEY, ZACH, JULIE DOES NOT THINK OF YOU AS HER BOYFRIEND.
IN FACT...
I DON'T THINK SHE WANTS ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
SHE SAID THAT?
YEAH.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT.
WELL, IF SHE DID, IT'S BECAUSE YOU TELL HER
STUFF ABOUT ME THAT'S NOT TRUE.
ZACH! COME HERE!
RIGHT NOW!
PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME.
HOW DO YOU KNOW MARY ALICE?
WHO?
MARY ALICE YOUNG.
SHE LIVES NEXT DOOR TO ME IN FAIRVIEW.
SHE'S STANDING RIGHT HERE IN THIS PICTURE WITH YOU.
THAT'S ANGELA FORREST. WE WORKED TOGETHER
AT THE REHAB CENTER 15 YEARS AGO.
DON'T BE DENSE, FELICIA.
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW MY OWN NEIGHBOR?
DOES THIS MARY ALICE HAVE CHILDREN?
A TEENAGER -- A BOY.
WHAT?
ANGELA AND I WORKED TOGETHER
WITH A VERY DISTURBED YOUNG WOMAN
WHO GAVE BIRTH TO A BABY BOY.
ABOUT A YEAR LATER, ANGELA AND HER HUSBAND...
DISAPPEARED.
NOT LONG AFTER THAT,
I HEARD THAT THE CHILD WAS MISSING, TOO.
PEOPLE SAID IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE,
BUT IN MY HEART, I ALWAYS HOPED
THAT SHE HAD GIVEN HIM A PROPER HOME.
ARE YOU SAYING SHE STOLE THE BABY?
DON'T LOOK SHOCKED, MARTHA.
IT MAKES YOUR FACE LOOK FAT.
THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER WAS A DRUG ADDICT.
IF ANGELA REALLY IS YOUR NEIGHBOR,
WHICH I DOUBT,
THEN THAT CHILD WAS VERY LUCKY.
LYNETTE, HEY.
OH, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TOM, HE'S OUT WITH A CLIENT.
NO, I ACTUALLY WANTED TO SEE YOU.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY FUNNY. I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.
I'VE BEEN HERE ALL THIS TIME. WE SHOULD GO OUT --
FOR LUNCH, JUST THE TWO OF US.
YEAH, I'LL CHECK MY BOOK.
SO, ANNABEL...
DO YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR TOM?
WHAT?
YOU HEARD ME.
OKAY, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS, LYNETTE?
LET'S TALK.
YES, TOM AND I WERE IN LOVE, BUT HE MARRIED YOU.
I'M NOT LOOKING TO BREAK UP A HAPPY COUPLE.
ANYWAY, THAT'S REALLY MORE YOUR SPEED, ISN'T IT?
MORNING, LADIES.
JUST COMING IN FOR A LITTLE MORE FUEL.
YEP, ONE MAN'S SLUDGE IS ANOTHER MAN'S LIQUID GOLD.
WELL, BACK TO THE TRENCHES.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
TOM AND I, WE'RE A TEAM.
OUR MARRIAGE IS ROCK SOLID.
NOTHING YOU DO COULD EVER BREAK THAT UP.
THEN WHY ARE YOU DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW
WARNING ME?
[ BELLS CHIMING ]
GABRIELLE. WHAT BRINGS YOU DOWN HERE?
OH, SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS TIME?
YOU'RE PREGNANT?
YES, AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I AM ON THE PILL.
WHICH I KNOW YOU PROBABLY THINK IS A SIN, BUT IT WORKS.
IT'S A 99.9% EFFECTIVE SIN.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S IN THAT 1/10th OF A PERCENT
THAT GOD RESIDES.
COULDN'T WAIT TO THROW THAT IN, COULD YOU?
LOOK, GOD IS SCREWING WITH ME.
HE DOESN'T LIKE THE WAY I LIVE MY LIFE,
SO HE'S PUNISHING ME.
WELL, HAVE YOU DONE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD WARRANT BEING PUNISHED?
THE GARDENER?
I THOUGHT THAT WAS OVER.
WELL, IT WAS, AND THEN -- AND --
WELL, YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE.
LOOK, THAT'S MY POINT IS I'D BE AN AWFUL MOTHER.
I'M SELFISH, AND I'M SELF-CENTERED,
AND THE ONLY PERSON MORE SELF-CENTERED THAN ME IS CARLOS.
I MEAN, HE'S SO SELF-CENTERED
THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW SELF-CENTERED I AM.
WE'D BE TERRIBLE PARENTS.
GABRIELLE, I'D LIKE TO HELP,
BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT IT IS YOU WANT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST --
I WANT TO KNOW WHO TO BE ANGRY AT.
HERE'S A THOUGHT. DON'T BE ANGRY.
BE THANKFUL.
CHILDREN ARE A GIFT, ARE THEY NOT?
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP.
I HAVE A PARTY TO PLAN.
THANKS.
EDIE. HEY.
HI.
WOW, THINGS ARE REALLY COMING ALONG.
YEAH, SLOWLY AND EXPENSIVELY.
WELL, IT'LL BE WORTH IT. YOU'RE DOING AN AMAZING JOB.
HA HA HA HA.
SO, LOOK, YOU'RE BASICALLY A PREDATOR,
AND I-I NEED SOME ADVICE.
AND I KNOW TOM LOVES ME, BUT I DON'T TRUST THIS WOMAN.
I THINK THERE'S AN AGENDA THERE.
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE I'M BEING PARANOID.
NO, NO.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING COMING TO ME.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO APPROACH THIS.
WELL, FIRST I HAVE TO ASK --
WHAT KIND OF SHAPE IS THIS WOMAN IN?
FANTASTIC SHAPE. SHE'S GORGEOUS.
OKAY, NOW THERE'S REALLY ONLY ONE WAY TO APPROACH THIS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACT FAST.
I'M -- I'M LISTENING.
WELL, IT'S REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE.
WHEN I FEEL THREATENED BY A WOMAN, I PULL HER IN.
I MAKE HER MY BEST FRIEND.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEMALE FRIENDS.
I DON'T.
AND I'VE NEVER FELT THREATENED BY ANOTHER WOMAN, EITHER.
BUT THE POINT IS
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE...
KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER.
TOM, WE'RE HAVING A DINNER PARTY.
I'M THINKING OF INVITING ANNABEL.
WE'RE NOT MOVING.
SUSAN KNOWS SOMETHING. EDIE SAID SHE FOUND --
I DON'T CARE WHAT EDIE BRITT SAID.
I'M NOT LEAVING JULIE.
YOU WANT TO RISK OUR LIVES, OUR FUTURE,
OVER SOME SCHOOLYARD CRUSH?
IT IS MORE THAN THAT. JULIE LOVES ME.
THEN WHY DOES SHE REFUSE TO SEE YOU?
MRS. MAYER LIES TO HER.
IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT, SHE WOULD BE WITH ME.
ARE YOU SURE?
YOU KNOW, JULIE'S A VERY SPECIAL GIRL.
I KNOW.
SHE COULD HAVE JUST ABOUT ANY BOY SHE WANTED.
I THINK YOU'RE A WONDERFUL KID,
I DO, BUT...
YOU'RE NOT THAT SPECIAL, ZACH.
NOT REALLY.
BUT SHE KISSED ME.
LATELY?
LET'S JUST PACK OUR BAGS AND GET OUT OF HERE.
WE CAN LEAVE THIS WHOLE MESS BEHIND.
WE CAN START OVER.
AND THERE WILL BE OTHER GIRLS, I PROMISE.
NO.
IF SUSAN GOES TO THE POLICE, IT'S OVER.
THEY'LL TAKE ME AWAY.
THEY'LL TAKE YOU AWAY. DON'T YOU GET THAT?
IF JULIE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE,
THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER. NONE OF IT MATTERS.
HA HA. OH.
McGRUDER HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON.
DURING THE ENTIRE SHIP FOR THE PHASER CAMPAIGN,
HE WAS PRACTICALLY HOLDING BENSON'S HAND.
AFTER THE WAY THAT BURNHAM SCREWED HIM OVER,
I'D BE NERVOUS, TOO. MY GOD.
IT WAS AWFUL.
HA HA HA HA. HA HA HA HA.
EXCUSE ME. I NEED TO GET IN HERE SO I CAN CLEAR THE PLATES.
HEY, HONEY, YOU WANT SOME HELP WITH THAT?
I'M GOOD.
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT COMPANY.
HEY, GUYS, ISN'T IT TIME FOR BED?
OH, THEY NEVER GET TO SEE YOU. LET THEM STAY UP FOR A WHILE.
OKAY, COME HERE.
COME HERE. I WANT YOU TO MEET SOMEONE.
THIS IS MS. FOSTER.
HI.
SHE'S AN OLD, OLD FRIEND OF YOUR DADDY'S.
HEY, WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
IT'S A PICTURE WE PAINTED.
OH, LET ME HAVE A LOOK AT THAT.
IT'S ALL OF US WITH MOMMY AND DADDY.
WE'RE REALLY HAPPY.
OH, THAT IS SO ADORABLE. WHEN DID YOU DO THIS?
TODAY. MOM TOLD US TO.
HA HA HA. I JUST TOLD THEM TO PAINT SOMETHING NICE.
THE SENTIMENT'S ALL THEIRS.
BUT YOU TOLD US TO. HOLD ON, HONEY. GROWNUPS ARE TALKING.
WELL, THIS IS REALLY NEAT.
HEY, HOW WOULD YOU BOYS LIKE TO PAINT MY PORTRAIT ONE DAY?
SURE. YOU'RE PRETTY.
OKAY, GREAT.
SO LIKE YOUR DAD SAID, IT'S TIME FOR BED.
I'LL TAKE THEM BACK UPSTAIRS.
COME ON, GUYS.
THANK YOU.
MM-HMM. UH-HUH.
[ BOYS LAUGHING ]
I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU. HERE WE GO.
I MUST SAY, LYNETTE,
YOUR HOME IS WARM AND INVITING,
YOUR CHILDREN ARE ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS --
THIS WHOLE EVENING WAS PRACTICALLY A COMMERCIAL
FOR THE PERFECT FAMILY.
YOU THINK?
YOU COULDN'T HAVE PLANNED IT ANY BETTER.
AND I MEAN THAT.
GOOD.
[ GASPS ]
HELLO, SUSAN.
PAUL.
HI.
I UNDERSTAND YOU AND EDIE WENT SNOOPING THROUGH MY HOUSE.
HUH?
IT'S OKAY. I'M NOT MAD.
SO...
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ANGELA?
IT WAS MARY ALICE'S BIRTH NAME.
SHE WAS NAMED AFTER HER AUNT ANGELA.
WHEN SHE WAS A TEENAGER, THEY HAD A FALLING OUT,
SO SHE CHANGED HER NAME TO MARY ALICE.
THIS IS BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED,
SO YOU'LL FORGIVE ME IF I'M HAZY ON THE DETAILS.
THAT'S IT? THAT'S THE EXPLANATION?
RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLE, ISN'T IT?
SHE CHANGED HER NAME
BECAUSE SHE GOT IN A FIGHT WITH HER AUNT?
PAUL, THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE SOMETHING MARY ALICE WOULD DO.
NEITHER DID SUICIDE,
BUT WE BOTH KNOW THAT SHE DID IT.
SO CAN WE FINALLY PUT THIS BEHIND US,
OR DO YOU NEED TO BREAK INTO MY HOME FOR ANYTHING ELSE?
UH...
NO. UM...
I'M GOOD. THANKS.
ALTHOUGH IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT VIDEOTAPE I FOUND --
THE ONE MARKED "ANGELA."
IT'D BE NICE TO SEE MARY ALICE WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG.
I'M AFRAID THAT BOX OF TAPES
WAS THROWN OUT WITH THE TRASH.
OKAY, THEN.
SUSAN. I'M SERIOUS WHEN I SAY
I HOPE YOU'LL LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE NOW.
THIS ENDLESS SUSPICION OF YOURS HAS BECOME VERY TIRING.
YEAH, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
[ CELLULAR PHONE RINGS ]
OH, THAT'S MY CELL. SORRY.
[ RING ]
OH, GOD, IT'S PETERSON. EXCUSE ME.
PETERSON? HELLO?
YEAH.
SO THIS IS QUITE A SHOW YOU PUT ON TONIGHT.
"SHOW."
THE BOYS' PAINTINGS,
ALL THOSE REFERENCES TO HOW HAPPY WE ARE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH SUBTLY REMINDING ANNABEL
THAT YOU'RE HAPPILY MARRIED?
BECAUSE IT WASN'T SUBTLE,
AND IT'S AN INSULT TO ME.
I DID NOT MEAN IT THAT WAY.
ARE YOU SO INSECURE THAT YOU HAVE TO PULL THAT CRAP?
KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME
AS LONG I AM NOT INTERESTED.
HAVE I EVER, EVER GIVEN YOU ANY REASON TO DOUBT ME?
ANYONE IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING.
THE FIRST TIME WE EVER MET, YOU WERE CHEATING.
WITH YOU. CHEATING WITH YOU.
IT'S A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR.
OH, GIVE ME A BREAK.
WELL, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
YOU HIRE YOUR OLD GIRLFRIEND,
AND YOU DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT FOR THREE MONTHS?
I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU FROM DAY ONE,
AND YOU WOULD STILL BE JUMPING DOWN MY THROAT.
NO, ANNABEL IS ANCIENT HISTORY.
SHE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO BE MARRIED, LYNETTE?
HOW LONG UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY TRUST ME?
I TRUST YOU.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SAID TO ME,
"IF YOU EVER TOUCH ANOTHER WOMAN,
"I WILL TAKE THE BOYS, AND I WILL WALK OUT OF HERE,
AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE US AGAIN"?
WELL, THAT'S JUST...
SOMETHING WIVES SAY TO THEIR HUSBANDS.
NOT ALL WIVES.
GOD, LYNETTE, YOU'RE JUST SO CONVINCED
THAT I'M GOING TO BE UNFAITHFUL.
IT -- IT MAKES ME SICK -- THE DISTRUST, THE PARANOIA.
YOU KNOW -- NO, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY
UNTIL YOU DRIVE ME OUT OF THIS MARRIAGE
JUST TO PROVE YOURSELF RIGHT.
OKAY, WAIT. FORGET I SAID THAT.
IT'S TOO LATE.
YOU SAID IT.
WELL, THEN, JUST CONSIDER IT
SOMETHING THAT HUSBANDS SAY TO THEIR WIVES.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
WELL, PETERSON'S ON CLOUD NINE.
HE DISCOVERED SOME INSIDE SCOOP ON THE METRO ACCOUNT.
THE BAD NEWS IS
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REDO THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION.
TONIGHT?
THEY NEED IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
PETERSON SAYS WE MIGHT BE PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER.
WELL, I CAN'T DRIVE. I'VE BEEN DRINKING.
I'LL DRIVE. COME ON.
THANKS.
DON'T WORRY, LYNETTE.
I'LL DELIVER HIM BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS I CAN.
PLEASE DO.
HONEY, TAKE OVER FOR ME. I'M GIVING A SPEECH.
JUST MAKE SURE THEY STAY PINK LIKE THAT, OKAY?
ARE YOU OKAY?
OH.
YEAH, I JUST, UH...
REALIZED HOW DISGUSTING MEAT COULD BE.
[ CLINKING ]
EVERYONE...
I JUST WANTED TO SAY IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME
THAT ALL OF YOU CAME, AND AS YOU KNOW,
IN A FEW DAYS, I WILL BE TAKING
A LITTLE GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED VACATION.
LUCKY FOR ME,
BREAKFAST IS INCLUDED.
OH, GOD.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS
I'M GOING AWAY TO JAIL,
AND WHEN A MAN GOES AWAY TO JAIL,
WHICH I HOPE NONE OF YOU HERE EVER HAVE TO DO,
HE SEES WHO HIS REAL FRIENDS ARE.
SO THANKS.
All: HEAR, HEAR.
EXCUSE YOU.
STAY PUT UNTIL I NEED YOU.
DON'T TALK TO ANYBODY,
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T GET DRUNK.
YOU KNOW, I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO MY COUSIN'S WEDDING TODAY.
IT'S NOT A WEDDING. IT'S A COMMITMENT CEREMONY.
NOW SIT DOWN AND...
TRY TO FIT IN.
[ FAN WHIRRING ]
UGH.
[ PANTING ]
GOT YOU A HOT DOG.
NO THANKS. I'M FULL.
THERE'S A CROQUET SET.
DO YOU WANT TO GO HIT SOME BALLS?
NO.
WELL, THAT'S FINE. WE CAN JUST SIT HERE.
ZACH, I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND.
I DON'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
I JUST WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE, OKAY?
OKAY.
[ SIGHS ]
Mary Alice: IN THAT MOMENT, WHILE LOOKING AT THE PILLS
THAT HAD BEEN SO OBVIOUSLY TAMPERED WITH,
GABRIELLE'S NAUSEA WAS SUDDENLY REPLACED
BY AN EVEN STRONGER SENSATION --
RAGE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M SO SORRY. THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
ANSWER MY QUESTION. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WAS INVITED.
BY WHO?
YOU KNOW WHAT, DR. VAN DE KAMP?
I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOU.
SEE, I THINK YOU DO.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
HE CRASHED THE PARTY.
THIS GUY CLEARLY IS NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER.
IT'S OKAY. GEORGE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.
YOU BROUGHT HER, DIDN'T YOU?
HE DOESN'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. I DO SO.
SHE'S RIGHT OVER THERE.
THAT'S HIS GIRLFRIEND?
SEE? WE WERE WORRIED FOR NOTHING.
SO ANY TIME YOU WANT TO APOLOGIZE...
OH, COME ON, REX.
YOU OWE GEORGE SOME SORT OF GESTURE.
OH, WHAT THE HELL?
HA HA HA HA HA.
REX, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!
TO BE FAIR, I ONLY PUSHED HIM.
CARLOS, YOU SON OF A BITCH.
I AM PREGNANT, AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
WOW.
THIS IS TURNING INTO ONE HELL OF A PARTY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
I THINK I CAN HONESTLY SAY NO, I'M NOT.
I'M SO SORRY.
THANKS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT KIDS --
THAT YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING THEM UNTIL YOU DO,
AND THEN YOU CAN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT THEM.
IT'S TRUE.
ALL I'M SAYING IS
MAYBE THIS IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS.
WHAT?
YEAH.
SO YOU MEAN YOU AND JOHN HAVE STILL BEEN...
YEAH.
GABBY.
OH, I KNOW, SUSAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
AAH!
OH -- OH, OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD, THAT'S -- THAT'S MY HOUSE!
I'LL CALL 911! YES, THAT'S -- THAT'S -- THAT'S MY HOUSE!
OH!
OH, MY -- OH, MY -- LOOK, MY KITCHEN!
OH, IT'S A BIG FIRE!
TURNS OUT SOMEONE LEFT THE GAS ON
WITH CANDLES BURNING.
THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
WE DON'T BURN CANDLES DURING THE DAY.
UH, WELL, I DID HAVE A-A FRENCH VANILLA CANDLE
BURNING EARLIER, BUT -- BUT I'M ALMOST POSITIVE
I-I BLEW IT OUT.
YOU'RE ALMOST POSITIVE?
YES. I DID.
I-I DID, I-I THINK.
LOOK, YOU'RE LUCKY THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED.
THE DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE EXTENSIVE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE MORE CAREFUL FROM NOW ON.
DON'T WORRY. WE WILL BE.
BREE, HI.
HI.
YOU LEFT THE PARTY SO QUICKLY,
I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU
FOR WHAT REX DID.
OH, GEORGE, I'M SO SORRY
HE HUMILIATED YOU IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOT INTO HIM.
ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? HE HATES ME.
NO, HE DOESN'T HATE YOU. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU.
AND YOU DON'T REALLY EVEN KNOW HIM.
WELL, I KNOW THIS MUCH --
HE'S NOT GOING TO LET US BE FRIENDS.
WELL, THAT'S NOT HIS CHOICE TO MAKE.
WHAT IF HE ASKED YOU NOT TO SEE ME ANYMORE?
WHAT IF HE ORDERS YOU NOT TO?
WELL...
I DECIDE WHO I NEED IN MY LIFE,
AND I'VE DECIDED THAT I NEED YOU,
AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
HE COULD MAKE IT AWFULLY DIFFICULT
FOR YOU TO SPEND TIME WITH ME.
WELL...
WHO SAYS HE HAS TO KNOW HOW I SPEND MY FREE TIME?
Susan: I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FAMILY ACROSS THE STREET.
I THINK ONE OF THEM
MAY HAVE SET A FIRE IN MY HOUSE,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT...
I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY FRIEND
WHO KILLED HERSELF.
I CALLED THE POLICE,
BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.
THIS FAMILY'S GOT A SECRET -- A BAD SECRET.
I THINK I'M IN OVER MY HEAD.
I NEED YOU TO FIND OUT EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW
ABOUT PAUL YOUNG AND HIS FAMILY.
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME?
AS A MATTER OF FACT...
I KNOW I CAN.
Mary Alice: SPRING COMES EVERY YEAR TO WISTERIA LANE,
BUT NOT EVERYONE REMEMBERS TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS.
SOME ARE TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE...
OR MISTAKES THEY'VE MADE IN THE PAST.
OTHERS ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH NOT GETTING CAUGHT.
IT'S A WINDOW.
OR THINKING OF WAYS TO CATCH SOMEONE ELSE.
STILL, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A FEW
WHO REMEMBER TO TAKE A MOMENT
AND APPRECIATE WHAT SPRING HAS GIVEN THEM...
JUST AS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE
WHO PREFER TO SIT IN THE DARK
BROODING OVER EVERYTHING THEY'VE LOST.
