Lynette: "Well, that's not entirely true."



Gabrielle: "What does that mean?"



Lynette: "Come on, Gaby. It's a small town. People talk."



Tom: "Okay, what's going on here?"



Gabrielle: "I'll tell you. Your wife doesn't trust me around you because I had an affair with my teenage gardener."



Tom: "Oh."



Gabrielle's House - Daytime



Carlos is putting on a miniature green set up in the living room.



Gabrielle: "So I know Susan Mayer would never tell. It must've been Helen Rowland. She probably blabbed to all the girls at the salon. And Ida Greenberg goes to that salon. So if Ida knows, the whole town knows. And we're just gonna have to move. That's all there is to it. Carlos, can you stop putting for two seconds and show me some support?"



Carlos: "What do you expect me to do? You brought this on yourself."



Gabrielle: "It was a harmless little kiss! Why is everybody making a big deal about this?"



Carlos: "Because you had an affair with an underage gardener. People don't think you're harmless. They see you as a predator."



Gabrielle: "You're enjoying this, aren't you? Punishing me, dangling the affair over my head? Well, I won't tolerate it."



Carlos: "Really? So just what are you gonna do about it?"



Gabrielle: "I'm gonna let you even the score. Carlos, go have an affair."



Carlos: "What?"



Gabrielle: "I had my little indiscretion. So you go have yours. Get it out of your system. I know you want to."



Carlos: "I do not."



Gabrielle: "Sure you do. Knock yourself out. Call up an old college flame. Rent a call girl. Fly to Africa and nail that little nun you've been drooling over. I don't care!"



Carlos: "You're crazy."



Gabrielle: "No, I'm pragmatic. Because once you finish your fling, we'll be equals again. And then you won't be able to judge me. And we can go back to being a boring, average married couple. Oh, just do me a favor. Don't bring back any diseases."



Lynette's House - Nighttime



Tom and Lynette are getting ready for bed.



Tom: "Are you sure you're not overreacting to this whole Gabrielle thing?"



Lynette: "Maybe. Yes. But Gaby doesn't think she did anything wrong. That's not right, either."



Tom: "I guess."



Lynette: "You're an attractive man. There is a primal need for a woman to protect what is hers. My initial impulse was justified."



Tom: "So you really think she's into me?"



Lynette: "I don't know."



Tom: "Because you're right. I am an attractive man. You know what? I've never told you this, but sometimes when I bend down to pick up the morning paper, I catch Bree Van de Kamp checking me out."



Lynette: "You're kidding."



Tom: "No, scout's honor. I've always exuded a certain sexualmagnetism, and as I get older, I think it's only becoming more intense."



Lynette: "Are you drunk?"



Tom: "Oh, I'm a hot guy living in a neighborhood filled with nothing but lonely ladies. They can't help themselves. I'm like, catnip."



Lynette laughs and pulls Tom to her to kiss him.



Lynette: "Come here."



Tom: "What was that for?"



Lynette: "Thank you. Thank you for reminding me that I am the only woman in the whole world who could love an idiot like you. I'll talk to Gaby."



Tom: "I'm telling you, these women want me."



Lynette: "Oh, yeah."



Tom: "They see the rippling muscles underneath this t-shirt..."



Lynette: "Good night, Tom."



Tom: "They cannot resist me."



Lynette: "Shut up and go to sleep."



Outside Betty's House - Daytime



Matthew and Betty get in the car and Matthew drives away from the house. Monroe, parked in his car, gets out and walks into the Applewhite yard. He jimmys open the French doors and goes inside.



Betty's House - Daytime



Monroe comes downstairs and looks around. He goes into the kitchen and sees the basement door. He goes downstairs and sees the locked door.



Monroe: "Son of a bitch."



With bolt cutters, Monroe cuts open the locks. Caleb wakes up to the noise. Monroe opens the door and sees Caleb chained to the bed.



Monroe: "You gotta be kidding me."



Caleb is frightened by Monroe and tries to get away, but the chains prevent him from moving too far.



Monroe: "Whoa, whoa. I'm here to help you, Caleb. All right?"



Monroe points at the shackles around Caleb's wrists. He approaches and unlocks them.



Caleb: "Mommy's gonna be mad."



Monroe: "Don't you worry about that. Moms love me. All right, let's go."



Caleb: "No!"



Monroe: "Okay, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. Let's start over."



Monroe punches Caleb. Caleb falls over.



Later, in the living room, Monroe looks outside. He goes back to the basement door and looks down at Caleb, who's sitting at the bottom of the steps, handcuffs around his wrists.



Monroe: "Let's go."



Caleb doesn't move. Monroe pulls out a gun.



Monroe: "I'm warning you, pinhead, don't you make me come down there after you. Come on. Come on! All right, you asked for it. I'm gonna beat the stupid right out of you."



Monroe begins stomping down the stairs, but they collapse beneath him. As he falls through, his gun goes off, shooting him in the chest. He is wedged into the stair and sees the blood. He looks at the gun and realizes what happened. He passes out and drops he gun.



Later, Betty and Matthew come home and walk inside. They see Caleb sitting at the kitchen table eating ice cream.



Betty: "Caleb?"



Caleb: "I didn't do it."



Betty and Matthew go to the basement. They look downstairs and see Monroe is dead.



Betty: "Oh, dear."



Edie's House - Daytime



Bree, with a basket of muffins, knocks on the door and Karl answers. She hands him the muffins.



Karl: "Well, hey there."



Bree: "Hi, Karl. Oh! Oh, um, quick question, when someone discusses a sensitive situation with a lawyer such as yourself, when does attorney client confidentiality kick in?"



Karl: "From the moment the lawyer's been hired. Why?"



Bree: "Here's a check for a hundred dollars. That's enough for a retainer, right?"



Karl: "I guess. What's going on, Bree?"



Bree: "My son is trying to blackmail me. And I want you to stop the little S.O.B. Do you think you could do that?"



Betty's Basement



Betty and Matthew are going through Monroe's wallet.



Betty: "He has an Illinois license. It says here his name is Monroe. Does that name mean anything to you?"



Matthew: "No, but at least he wasn't a policeman."



Betty: "Poor man. I hope he didn't suffer too much."



Matthew: "Mom, are we looking at the same body?"



They hear a cell phone ring coming from Monroe. Matthew goes to the body and gets the cell phone.



Betty: "What is it?"



Matthew shows his mother the cell, which indicates "Foster" is calling Monroe.



Betty: "As soon as it gets dark, we get rid of that body."



Gabrielle's House - Daytime



Gabrielle is at the blender making a smoothie. Lynette walks in.



Lynette: "Hey. Um, I hope it's okay. Carlos let me in."



Gabrielle: "Actually, I'm right in the middle of something, and I don't know when I'll be done."



Lynette: "I'm just here to say I am sorry, and I have been a complete idiot."



Gabrielle: "All done."



Later, Gabrielle and Lynette are sitting at the table having a smoothie, laughing together.



Lynette: "So cute. 'cause it's beautiful!"



Carlos walks in.



Carlos: "Is the coast clear?"



Gabrielle: "Yes, it is. We worked it out."



Carlos: "No kidding. How'd you manage that one?"



Gabrielle: "Simple. Lynette admitted she was wrong and I agreed."



Lynette: "Well, ninety-nine percent wrong."



Gabrielle: "Oh, whatever, close enough."



Lynette: "Anyway, Tom's probably got dinner ready by now. So I should get going."



Gabrielle: "Okay."



Lynette: "Good night. Bye!"



Lynette leaves, then walks right back in.



Lynette: "You know what the one percent is, right?"



Gabrielle: "No, not really. Does it matter?"



Lynette: "It kinda does. I wanna get it clear for our friendship."



Gabrielle: "Okay. What's the one percent?"



Lynette: "Well, well, yes, I overreacted. I think you can see how even though I was somewhat off base, you were a little wrong, right?"



Gabrielle: "No. I kissed Tom, and it was a harmless joke. I think if I had kissed anybody else's husband, they would've laughed and then forgot about it ten seconds later."



Lynette: "Okay, let's test that theory."



Lynette grabs Carlos and begins kissing him passionately.



Gabrielle: "See? I don't care. That's just a waste of time and spit. Oh. Okay. Okay, okay, okay."



Gabrielle pulls them apart.



Gabrielle: "Okay! Okay! I get your point."



Lynette: "All righty, then, my work here is done. Carlos, Gaby."



Bowling Alley



Julie is bowling, while Susan and Mike watch.



Susan: "Go!"



Mike: "Not bad."



Mike turns and sees Zach approaching.



Mike: "Hey, there he is."



Susan: "Zach, I'm glad you could make it."



Mike: "Hey, Zach."



Zach: "Mr. Delfino, I didn't know you were gonna be here."



Mike: "Yeah, I was just bowling a few frames and ran into these guys. I thought I might join you. Is that okay?"



Zach: "Yeah, I guess."



Susan bowls.



Susan: "Oh! Okay, write that down. Nine!



Mike: "Wise guy."



Zach gets up to bowl.



Mike: "All right, just roll it in there nice and easy."



Zach rolls a gutter ball.



Zach: "Sorry."



Mike: "It's okay. We're still close. Anyway, Julie's totally gonna choke."



Julie: "Just for that, I am not bringing you back a hot dog. Zach, do you want one?"



Zach: "Okay."



Julie leaves. Zach gets up to bowl, but turns toward Susan and Mike.



Susan: "You okay?"



Zach: "Yeah, I'm fine, it's just, I don't understand what you're doing."



Mike: "What do you mean?"



Zach: "Well, I don't understand why you're being so nice to me. I mean, I pointed a gun at you guys. I, I, you should hate me."



Susan: "We don't hate you, Zach. You had an incredibly hard year. And you shouldn't have done what you did, but we just wanna help you move on."



Mike: "Look, um, when I was young, I got mixed up in some really bad stuff. I even did some time in prison."



Zach: "Really?"



Mike: "Yeah, but when I got out, people were willing to forgive me. Everybody deserves a second chance."



Zach: "Thanks."



Susan: "You know, I'm gonna go, uh, help Julie with the food. So you guys just keep talking and bowling. Talk and bowl. Bowl and talk."



Mike: "Here, let me show you something. See the arrows right in the middle? Just roll it straight over the one in the center. Okay. You don't have to spin it or anything. Just right down the middle. Look at that! Good job."



Mike puts his hand on Zach's shoulder and Susan watches from the food counter.



Outside Betty's House - Nighttime



Betty and Matthew are putting Monroe's body into the truck of his car.



Betty: "Hurry up!"



Matthew: "I am hurrying up, okay?"



Betty closes the trunk.



Matthew: "Wait, no! No! No!"



Betty: "What?"



Matthew: "I dropped the keys. I don't have 'em. They're in here!"



Betty starts to laugh and Matthew looks at her.



Betty: "Sometimes you just have to laugh."



Bree's House - Daytime



Andrew is playing video games when Bree and Karl walk in.



Bree: "Andrew? Would you mind turning off your video game? My lawyer would like to have a little chat with you."



Later, Karl and Andrew are sitting at the table and Bree is serving food.



Karl: "So even though your mother did witness George Williams' suicide, there's no affirmative duty to intervene. Therefore, no crime was committed. Even if the police find out, your mom will never see the inside of a courtroom."



Andrew: "Well, maybe I got the story wrong. What if she went over there to help him commit suicide?"



Bree: "If you wanna lie to the police, go right ahead. But please know that I will sue you."



Andrew: "For what?"



Karl: "Abuse of process. It's when a person tries to exploit the legal system for an improper purpose, like blackmail."



Andrew: "You guys can't sue me. I'm just a kid."



Bree: "Oh, don't worry. I won't start garnishing your wages until you turn eighteen."



Karl: "Your mom, is she a peach or what?"



Andrew: "If the cops don't give a damn, I'm sure your friends will. How does a little public humiliation sound?"



Karl hands Bree his coffee cup.



Karl: "Bree, can I get a refill on this?"



Bree leaves the room. Karl grabs Andrew.



Andrew: "What are you doing?"



Karl slams Andrew against the wall.



Karl: "Your father was a friend of mine. And if he were around to see what a nasty little turd you've turned into, he'd knock the hell out of you."



Andrew: "Yeah, well, he's not here now, is he?"



Andrew starts to walk away. Karl grabs him and slams him against the wall again. He grabs Andrew's face.



Karl: "No, he isn't, but if you don't get your act together and start treating your mother with some respect, I'll take care of you myself. Do you understand what I'm saying?"



Andrew: "Yeah."



Karl: "Good."



Bree, still in the kitchen, stands right out of view from the dining room, listening.



Outside Lynette's House - Daytime



Lynette is walking up her steps when Carlos approaches.



Carlos: "Hey, neighbor."



Lynette: "Oh, hey, Carlos. Hi."



Carlos: "I just wanted to thank you for patching things up with Gaby."



Lynette: "Well, sure, no problem."



Carlos: "It's been really tough on her. Everybody finding out about the affair."



Lynette: "Yeah, I can imagine."



Carlos: "I don't mind telling you, it's, uh, it's been pretty tough on us the past couple months."



Lynette: "Oh, well, I'm not surprised, and I really, really hope you can work it out."



Carlos: "Yeah, we're trying. You know..."



Lynette: "Yeah?"



Carlos: "Gaby had an interesting suggestion."



Lynette: "Oh?"



Carlos: "She told me that I should go out and have an affair of my own. She thinks it's the only way I'll be able to get over what she did to me and that it just might help our marriage."



Lynette: "Why are you telling me this?"



Carlos: "I guess I just, uh, wanted to know if you had any thoughts on the subject?"



Lynette: "I don't. I really don't."



Carlos: "Well, if you ever do, let me know. By the way..."



Lynette: "Mm-hmm?"



Carlos: "That was one hell of a kiss you gave me. You can't fake chemistry like that."



Carlos walks away.



Paul's House



Zach is asleep on his bed. Paul walks in. He removes an open book that's lying on Zach's chest and puts it on the desk. He sees a bowling score card in the trash can. He picks it up and sees Susan, Julie, Mike and Zach's names. He throws the book on Zach's chest, waking him up.



Paul: "What the hell is this?"



Outside Mike's House - Daytime



Paul storms out of his front door to Mike's house. Mike is in the front yard, raking.



Paul: "Delfino?"



He punches Mike.



Paul: "Stay away from my son!"



Paul walks back toward his house as Susan backs out of her driveway. Mike gets up and chases Paul. Susan looks over just as Mike tackles Paul.



Susan: "Oh, my god!"



Paul and Mike wrestle. Susan, watching them, does not see the oncoming car. The car honks and Susan swerves, hitting Monroe's car, which is still parked in front of the Applewhite house. The trunk pops up. Zach runs out to his father. Mike runs after Susan's car. The Applewhites come out of their house.



Zach: "Dad!"



Mike: "You okay?"



Susan: "I'm fine."



Mrs. Fromme, walking her cat, looks in the opened trunk, and screams. Everyone walks over and sees the dead man in the trunk. Susan and Mike look at Paul, who raises his hands in denial.



Wisteria Lane - Nighttime



Police are all over. Susan is talking to a police detective.



Susan: "So I swerved to avoid hitting his car and I hit this parked car instead. That's when the trunk top opened. When we got out, we found this dead body."



Betty and Matthew stand on their porch, watching all the police activity.



Matthew: "Are you worried now? 'Cause I am."



Betty: "Not yet. Let's be patient. See what happens."



Susan approaches Bree, Edie, Lynette and Gabrielle.



Bree: "How'd it go?"



Susan: "Well I told them everything I know which wasn't much."



Gabrielle: "So we thinking this is Paul?"



Lynette: "Well, he is our friendly neighborhood murderer."



Bree: "Yes, it seems obvious."



Susan: "I don't know. I saw his face when he looked into the trunk and he looked just as shocked as I was."



Edie: "I'm thinking it's the Applewhites. I talked to the dead guy and that he said he was doing appraisal on their house. Well, I got a little cheesed so I called every realtor in town. Nobody had even heard of him."



Lynette: "That doesn't mean Betty knew him."



Edie: "Please. Those two are fishy. They bought that house sight unseen."



Gabrielle: "And they did move in the middle of the night."



Susan: "And there were the noises."



Bree: "What noises?"



Susan: "Oh, a couple weeks ago I heard some noises coming from the basement like a clanging. And I asked Betty about it. She lied right to my face."



Lynette: "What's that about?"



Susan: "I don't know."



All the ladies turn and stare at the Applewhites. Betty waves and they wave back.



Betty: "Now I'm worried."



Outside Paul's House - Nighttime



Zach is on his porch, playing his guitar when a car pulls up in front of Susan's house. Julie gets out of the car.



Zach: "Julie."



Julie: "Hi."



Zach: "Hi. Well, my dad found out about us bowling. I'm not going to be able to do that anytime soon."



Julie: "Oh, sorry."



Zach: "No, no I'm glad that we did. I haven't felt like part of a family in a long time. Thanks. I, uh, I'd better get back inside."



Julie kisses Zach on the cheek.



"The act itself never varies."



Lynette's House - Nighttime



"But each kiss carries with it a meaning all its own. It can convey a husband's eternal devotion."



Tom grabs Lynette and begins kissing her.



Gabrielle's House - Nighttime



"Or a wife's enormous regret."



Gabrielle hugs and kisses Carlos.



Betty's House - Nighttime

"But whatever its meaning, each kiss..."



Karl and Edie are on the couch together. They kiss.



Mrs. Fromme's House - Nighttime



"...reflects a basic human need."



Mrs. Fromme hugs her cat, whispering to it.



Bree's House - Nighttime



"The need to connect to another human being."



Bree is staring lovingly at a photo of Rex. She places a kiss on her fingers then touches Rex's lips.



Outside Paul's House - Nighttime



Julie and Zach are staring into each other's eyes.



"This desire is so strong it's always amazing when some people…;



From the house, Paul stares out of the window, watching them.



"...don't understand it."
