Bree: "Do you really think that I am enjoying airing my dirty laundry in public? This whole situation is mortifying. But I can't back down because he is my son and I need more time to get through to him."



Eleanor: "You never give up. I've always admired that about you. When you were a kid, you used to make these peanut butter cookies that were god-awful. But you kept baking them and you kept forcing everyone to eat them. You were so determined to get them right."



Bree: "My mother didn't think they were awful. When I made those same cookies for her, she loved them."



Eleanor: "Well, some people praise children even when they don't deserve it."



Bree: "Oh, but not you. With you, I had to work for every kind word I ever got."



Eleanor: "Well, you always resented me because of my high standards."



Bree: "No. I resented you because those were kick ass peanut butter cookies."



Eleanor: "We're taking Andrew."



Bree: "Eleanor, please..."



Eleanor: "He hates you, Bree. Your own son. You know, part of being an adult is admitting that you've failed, and then moving on with grace."



Bree: "Do you really think that I am a failure as a parent?"



Eleanor: "Well, I'd love to lie and say something supportive, but as you pointed out, that was more your mother's thing."



Gabrielle's House - Daytime



Xiao-Mei is fast asleep on the dining room table when Gabrielle walks in.



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei?"



Xiao-Mei: "So sorry. I just take a break."



Gabrielle: "Oh no, Xiao-Mei, that's okay. That's okay. I know you were up all night with the baby and I really appreciate it. You know, I'm very grateful for everything you've been doing for Lily. So to thank you, I bought you a gift certificate to my spa. And you can take a whole day off and just really pamper yourself."



Xiao-Mei: "Really?"



Gabrielle: "Mm-hmm."



Xiao-Mei: "Thank you! Oh, thank you!"



Gabrielle: "Oh, you're welcome. All right, Lily needs to be bathed and put to bed. I don't wanna miss my yoga class."



She walks over to the bassinet and picks up Lily.



Gabrielle: "Hi. Hi, pretty girl. Oh, yes, mommy has to go. Mommy has to go, so she can stay pretty and thin and you can be proud of her."



She hands the baby to Xiao-Mei.



Gabrielle: "Motherhood is such a blessing. I hope you get to experience it one day."



Gabrielle walks out.



Bree's House - Daytime



Bree hears yelling outside. She looks out the window.



Andrew: "Because it's not a big deal!"



Justin: "It's not a big deal?"



Andrew: "Okay! It's not that far away."



Justin: "Right. Oh, it's not that far away? Dude, it--whatever, okay? You didn't even care to tell me before?"



Andrew: "Bye."



Andrew drives away. Bree goes outside.



Bree: "Justin, what happened?"



Justin: "Andrew just told me he's moving in with his grandparents. They live so far away, I'm never gonna see him anymore."



Bree: "I'm so sorry. I know that you're good friends."



Justin: "We're more than friends, Mrs. Van de Kamp. I love him."



Bree: "Oh. Why?"



Justin: "Why?"



Bree: "Yes. I'd be curious to know just what it is you see in him."



Justin: "Well, when my parents first heard I was gay, they kicked me out. They said I had debased the entire family and that they couldn't love me anymore until I changed. But Andrew, he said that I should be ashamed of them, 'cause they were too stupid to know how great I was. That's the thing about Andrew. He doesn't take crap from anyone. How can you not love someone like that?"



Bree: "You know, it never ceases to amaze me how people can turn their backs on their own family. But it happens every day, doesn't it?"



Justin: "I guess."



Bree: "You know, Justin, if you would be willing to help, I'm pretty sure that I could find a way to keep Andrew from moving. What do you say?"



Lynette's House



Mrs. McCluskey is sitting on the couch, eating a fudgesicle and reading the newspaper.



Lynette: "I'm home."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Oh, hi."



Bree: "Hey, Mrs. McCluskey. So, how did everything go?"



Mrs. McCluskey: "Fine. Penny fussed a bit. I think her molars are coming in."



Bree: "Oh."



Mrs. McCluskey: "And the twins fought over the remote. There's nothing new there."



Bree: "No. "



Mrs. McCluskey: "Here's the big news. Parker offered me a fudgesicle if I would show him my vagina."



Lynette looks at Mrs. McCluskey eating her fudgesicle.



Mrs. McCluskey: "Oh, good god, Lynette, relax. I didn't do it. I just got this out of the freezer a second ago."



Lynette: "Uh, yeah. Of course, no, sorry."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Apparently, Parker wanted to put a sunflower seed inside me and see if a baby would grow. Where do kids get this stuff?"



Lynette: "Oh, that was me. He was asking about the birds and the bees and I fudged a few of the details. Well, he's only seven years old. I don't think he needs to know everything yet. I don't wanna rob him of his innocence."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Well, now, that's where you're wrong. You get 'em when they're young. Give 'em all the gory details. And then when they're good and disgusted, you shame 'em."



Lynette: "Excuse me?"



Mrs. McCluskey: "You tell them sex is dirty and wrong and he shouldn't talk about it and if he does, he's going straight to hell."



Lynette: "That is ridiculous."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Spoken like a true liberal idiot."



Lynette: "No, I'm not gonna shame my son."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Mm, I'm telling ya, it works. It keeps people in their place, it keeps parents from being humiliated, and it keeps me from having to spend the afternoon talking about my woo-woo."



Susan's House - Daytime



The doorbell rings. When Susan opens the door, Orson is at the front door with Susan's wallet.



Orson: "In your haste to duck out before the credits rolled, you..."



Susan: "Oh, my god! Oh, thank you so much."



Orson: "I stuck a card in there, just in case you ever wanted to purposely sit next to me at a movie."



Susan: "Orson, I'm flattered. Uh, really, you, you don't wanna date me. I-I mean, my love life is just so complicated right now. Well, no, I won't bore you with the details."



Later, Orson and Susan are having coffee at her kitchen table.



Orson: "So the ex-boyfriend has no idea you're secretly married to the ex-husband, who still loves you, but unless you give him a reason not to, is gonna marry the neighborhood slut?"



Susan: "Did I call Edie a slut? Well, that's overstating it. Edie's not a slut. She's just popular with indiscriminate men. Anyway, yes, those are the relevant players."



Orson: "Okay."



Susan: "Now I'm absolutely horrified that I'm about to say what I'm about to say, but there's nobody else I can talk to who won't judge me. And since you're a complete stranger, I'll probably never see you again unless I randomly run into you on the street, in which case, you'll ignore me 'cause you know how crazy I am. So here goes, I'm having feelings for Karl again. Does that make me a terrible person?"



Orson: "You want my unvarnished opinion?"



Susan: "Lay it on me."



Orson: "It doesn't make you a terrible person, but it does make you a, well, a sucker. This Karl's a coward. He wants you to be the heavy and take all the responsibility. If you're having feelings for a guy like that, I say run far, far away."



Susan: "He lives three houses down."



Orson: "Hmm. Well, good luck to you, then. But like I said, if you're interested in a tooth whitening, my card's still in your wallet."



Gabrielle's House - Daytime



Gabrielle is leaving the house.



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei? Xiao-Mei? I'm late to meet Mrs. Van de Kamp. I'll be back in a little while."



Restaurant



Gabrielle: "Bree, I'm so sorry I'm late."



Bree: "Oh, honey, it's all right. I mean, with the new baby at home, I'm surprised you made it at all."



Gabrielle: "Ooh, I'll have a drink. Anything with an umbrella."



Bree: "So tell me, how are you doing? I mean, your entire world must be turned upside down. You must be exhausted."



Gabrielle: "You know, it's been challenging but I, I soldier on. So what about you? You look so rested."



Bree: "I just got a massage at Misty Spring. Things have been a little tense at home and I needed an hour to relax."



Gabrielle: "Good for you. I love that spa."



Bree: "Um, oh, by the way, while I was there, I saw your, uh, your housekeeper."



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei? Oh, no, you must be mistaken. I just left her. She's at home, working."



Bree: "Are you sure? I was talking to her in the steam room for about twenty minutes."



Gabrielle: "What?"



Bree: "Yeah, apparently you gave her a gift certificate."



Wisteria Lane - Daytime



Gabrielle's car comes screeching around the corner into her driveway. Gabrielle runs into her house and runs upstairs.



Gabrielle: "Lily? Lily, mommy's coming!"



She finds Lily sleeping in her bassinet. She picks her up.



Gabrielle: "Oh, thank god! Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I'm never gonna leave you again. Oh! Yes. Yes."



Later, Carlos walks in the front door.



Carlos: "I'm home! My interview got canceled."



Carlos enters the bedroom to find Gabrielle doing yoga with Lily strapped to her chest.



Gabrielle: "Oh, that's my little girl. Your chakra lining up nice for mommy? That's my girl."



Carlos: "Hey, let me take her off your chest so you can do your yoga."



Gabrielle: "No! No, no, no. We're doing just fine. Aren't we, Lily?"



Carlos smiles and walks away. Gabrielle hugs Lily lovingly, smiling at her while she continues her yoga.



Banquet Room



A band is playing in an empty banquet room which has a 'Happy Bar Mitzvah, Neil' sign hanging from the ceiling. Karl is listening to the band and Susan rushes in.



Karl: "Bridezilla's got me auditioning wedding bands and I'm clueless about Edie's taste in music. What do you think of these guys?"



Susan: "That's why you brought me down here? Karl, you made it sound like it was an emergency."



Karl: "It is! I need to have somebody to dance with so I can see if these guys have the power to help me get my groove on."



He dances around Susan.



Susan: "Karl..."



Karl: "Oh, that's right. You like it laid-back and romantic, don't you?" (to the band) "Guys, can we play something mellow?"



Susan: "No, don't bother, 'cause I'm going."



The band begins playing/singing "You are so Beautiful."



Susan: "That was not a coincidence."



Karl: "This was playing the night we first kissed. It's our song. Remember?"



Susan: "I remember. I also remember that you are planning on marrying someone else."



Karl: "Not if you don' t want me to. Come on, Susie Q. I can see you still have feelings for me and I know I have never stopped loving you."



Susan: " Okay, you want the truth? I don't know how I feel about you, but I keep looking at you, trying to see if you've changed, if you've grown up. You know what I see? I see the same weak coward that walked out on me three years ago."



Karl: "Of course I've changed."



Susan: "I don't think so. So I think you should probably stay with Edie. And the band is good, you should hire 'em."



Susan walks out.



Paul's House - Daytime



Paul wakes up to the sound of machines outside his window. All of a sudden red and blue curtains fall over his window outside. Paul and Zach walk down the darkened stairs to see the coverings on all the windows. Paul goes out the front door to find his house being tented.



Paul: "What the hell? For god's sakes."



Worker #1: "What the hell are you doing in there?"



Paul: "This is my house. What are you doing?"



Worker: #2 "We're tenting for termites. We've got a work order."



Paul: "Signed by who?"



Felicia comes over from next door.



Felicia: "Paul, I've never been so embarrassed in my whole life. They're supposed to be tenting my house. I must've written the address down wrong. Muchachos, mi casa esta aqui."



Paul: "You've taken it too far this time. These little mind games are gonna stop right now!"



Felicia (whispering): "And if they don't, whatcha gonna do? Blow out your brains like your wife did?"



Paul grabs Felicia around the neck and begins to strangle her. Some of the workers grab Paul off of Felicia.



Worker #2: "Hey, hey!"



Worker #1: "Hey, you okay?"



Felicia: "Did you hear that? He assaulted me for an honest mistake. God knows what would've happened if you hadn't been here."



Neighbors are watching from the street.



Paul: "Let go!"



Zach: "Dad, dad, dad. Come on. Come on. Come on, okay?"



Lynette's House



Lynette: "I talked to Mrs. McCluskey and for god's sakes, Parker, you can't ask people things like that."



Parker: "Why?"



Lynette: "Because it's rude."



Parker: "I said please."



Lynette: "Well, that doesn't matter! You gotta quit talking to people about their bodies and about where, you know, babies come from."



Parker: "Why?"



Lynette: "Because it's not an appropriate subject."



Parker: "Why?"



Lynette: "Because it's not."



Parker: "Why?"



Lynette: "-Ugh! Because it's dirty and wrong and I'll wash your mouth out with soap! That's why."



Lynette looks at the expression on Parker's face.



"In that moment, Lynette saw a look on her son's face she had never seen before..."



Flashback



Parker runs in the front door smiling carrying a remote control dinosaur.



"And she thought of the look he had on his face when he had become obsessed with dinosaurs..."



Flashback



Parker, smiling, comes running in with a bat and glove.



"...obsessed with baseball..."



Flashback



Parker, smiling, comes running in with a model train.



"...and obsessed with trains."



Present Day



Parker walks in the front door smiling, carrying a puppy.



"And it occurred to Lynette she didn't need to shame her son. All he needed was a brand-new obsession."



Preston: "But I thought you said we couldn't have a puppy."



Lynette: "Well, it turns out we really needed one. You can go and play."



"And though she didn't know it at the time, it would be another three years before Parker Scavo would ever ask about sex again."



Susan's House



Susan: "Karl. What's going on?"



Karl: "Uh, I'm on my way to a motel. I, I just wanted to let you know that the wedding is off."



Susan: "It is?"



Karl: "I told Edie I wasn't in love with her. At least, not in the way that she deserves."



Susan: "Wow. Why did you change your mind? I mean, I hope it wasn't because of me, because I told you?quot;



Karl: "It wasn't for you."



Susan: "No?"



Karl: "You were right. I have been a coward. I was a coward three years ago when I walked out on the two most important people in my life. And I was being a coward with Edie. I mean, to even consider marrying her when I know what real passion and real love feels like. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know."



Susan: "Karl, you look pretty beat up. Why don't you, why don't you come in and we'll crack open a bottle of wine. Come on."



Bree's House



Eleanor and Henry are packing boxes in the living room. Bree enters, carrying an open box, and places it in front of Henry.



Bree: "All right, here we go. This is the last of Andrew's things. Once we tape up these boxes, we can start loading the car."



Eleanor: "I'm proud of you, Bree. You're being awfully big about this."



Bree: "Well, I have to admit, I was a bit upset at first. But then it hit me. You're his grandparents. You should bond, get to know the real Andrew."



She turns and sees Henry holding a video from the box Bree put in front of him.



Bree: "Oh, dad, I, I forgot to warn you. These are some of Andrew's adult videos. I don't approve, but boys will be boys."



Eleanor: "Oh, Henry, stop looking at that filth."



Henry: "I don't get it. Where are the women?"



Eleanor: "What are you talking about?"



Henry: "This is all just a bunch of naked men."



Eleanor: "Sweet mother of god. What the hell are they doing?"



Henry: "I don't know and I don't even know what I'm looking at."



Eleanor: "Henry, this is pornography for homosexuals."



Bree: "Oh, shoot! I wish you hadn't gone through that. Now we have to have an unpleasant conversation and we were having such a nice time."



Henry: "Bree, is, is Andrew gay?"



Bree: "Oh, dad, Andrew hates labels. I'm sure it's just a phase."



Eleanor: "Excuse me, but he has a magazine titled 慙eather Daddies in Love.?That does not sound like a phase to me."



Bree: "Maybe not, but it's no longer my concern now that he'll be living with you."



Eleanor: "We have to have a serious talk."



Henry: "Let's don't freak out about this. The Dutch therapist says?quot;



Eleanor: "Forget the Dutch therapist! In the kitchen! Now!"



Henry and Eleanor leave the room. Bree smiles.



Later, Bree is in the kitchen when Andrew walks in.



Andrew: "Hey, where's grandma and grandpa? I need to start loading up my stuff."



Bree: "Oh, they, uh, they already left."



Andrew: "Wait, they left? Without me?"



Bree: "Ah, yeah, they wrote you a letter. It seems they came across some personal items of yours that, um, upset them."



Andrew begins to read the letter.



Andrew: "They're taking away my trust fund? They can't do that!"



Bree: "Well, actually they can. I mean, it's their money to dispense with as they see fit. I know it doesn't seem fair, but?quot;



Andrew: "No, it's really unfair. In fact, it sucks. What, what am I supposed to do now?"



Bree: "Well, now that you can't afford to become emancipated, I guess you're gonna have to stay here with me. Andrew, we can make this work. We just have to let go of our anger."



Andrew: "No."



Bree: "Oh, I, um, had a chance to have a nice chat with Justin the other day. He really seems very sweet. I've invited him over for dinner tonight. I hope you don't mind."



Susan's House - Daytime



Karl and Susan are in bed together.



Susan: "Now I wish I hadn't torched our wedding photos. Who would've thought after everything that's happened that we would've ended up back here again?"



Karl: "It's been one hell of a ride, huh?"



Susan: "Yeah."



Karl: "So, how do you feel now?"



Susan: "About us? I feel good. I feel happy."



Karl: "You're not having second thoughts?"



Susan: "I can't believe you actually want to talk about feelings. You really have changed."



Karl: "Hey, this is the new Karl, baby. He's not afraid to cry."



The phone rings. Susan answers.



Susan: "Hello? Oh, hi, Edie. Uh, yeah, he's here. Hold on." (covering the mouthpiece) "How does she know you're here?"



Karl: "I don't know." (into the phone) "Hi. Yeah, I just came by to help Julie with her civics homework. Uh-huh. Okay, I'll take care of it. What kind of juice do you want? Right. Bye, bye."



Susan: "Are you getting juice for her?"



Karl: "Yeah, just one carton."



Susan: "Okay, you ripped the woman's heart out. Why would she want juice from you?"



Karl: "Okay, now don't freak out, but this breakup is sort of a work in progress."



Susan: "She doesn't know?"



Susan grabs the comforter, covers herself and gets out of bed.



Karl: "Calm down. I can explain."



Susan: "So if Edie doesn't know, then that means that you just cheated on her with me! You made me the other woman!"



Karl: "Please don't be angry. I tried to break up with her, but because I wasn't sure you wanted me back, the words just wouldn't come out of my mouth. Now that I know that you want me and love me again, it's a done deal."



A few minutes later, Julie is sitting at the kitchen tablem eating. Clothes comes flying down the stairs.



Susan: "Get out of my house, you miserable son of a bitch!"



Karl: "Can't we talk about this?"



Susan: "No, just get out! Get out!"



Susan in a robe and Karl in his boxer shorts come downstairs.



Karl: "Susie, Susie!"



Susan: "Our marriage was garbage! Stupid, disgusting pile of garbage!"



Karl: "No, no, don't say that."



Susan: "And I regret everything that came of it!"



Karl: "Don't do this right now."



Susan: "Ugh!" (to Julie) "Except you, honey. You're my rock." (to Karl) "Ooh, out! Get out!"



Karl: "I promise you I'm gonna break up with Edie and make this right. I'll call you when it's done."



Susan: "Don't bother! I won't pick up."



Susan slams the door in Karl's face. Julie shakes her head. Karl stands on the porch.



"We've all done something in our lives we're ashamed of. Some of us have fallen for the wrong man."



Movie Theater



Mike and his young lady are watching the movie. Mike is staring off in deep concentration.



"Some have let go of the right woman."



Lynette's House



Parker is on the floor playing with the puppy.



"There are those who have humiliated their parents..."



Gabrielle's House



Gabrielle stands over the bassinet watching Lily sleep.



"...and those who have failed their children."



Bree's House



Bree comes out of the kitchen carrying a freshly baked pie to Justin and Andrew playing cards at the table.



"Yes, we've all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love."



Bree places the pie on the table and begins cutting it. She smiles as she watches Andrew and Justin having fun together.



"But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow."
