Lynette: "Bye-bye."



Susan's House - Outside, Morning



Alberta, walking her cat, is frozen as she stares at Susan's garage door. The word "whore" is painted on her white garage door in red. Susan walks out to get her morning paper.



Susan: "Oh, hi, Alberta. How are you? Were you the one that sent out those neighborhood watch pamphlets? I was wondering if maybe you had any extra copies. Or I'll just borrow one from somebody else. Thanks."



Alberta walks away. Susan turns and sees the word written on her garage door.



Later, Addison and Susan are looking at the door.



Addison: "Yep, looks like Carol's penmanship."



Susan: "This is ridiculous. What does she think, we're having an affair?"



Addison: "Well, she probably saw you drop me off yesterday, and she assumed the worst."



Susan: "Well, now you're gonna have to tell her the truth."



Addison: "Oh, no, no, no. I'd catch holy hell."



Susan: "Oh, so you want me to catch it for you? I mean, you, yourself, said she's crazy. I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and find my tires slashed."



Addison: "All right. I'll talk to her."



Edie drives by in her convertible. She stops in front of Susan's garage.



Susan: "Hello, Edie. Do you have something you'd like to say?"



Edie: "No. That pretty much says it all."



Gabrielle's House



Gabrielle walks in. Sister Mary and Carlos are sitting on the couch.



Gabrielle: "Sister Mary, what a lovely surprise."



Sister Mary: "Well, I couldn't leave without saying good-bye, Gabrielle."



Gabrielle: "Oh, that's so sweet. I'm really gonna miss you."



Sister Mary: "I'm sure not half as much as you're gonna miss your husband."



Gabrielle: "Huh?"



Carlos: "Don't freak out. I'm going to Botswana."



Gabrielle: "What?"



Carlos: "Sister Mary needs a companion."



Gabrielle: "What happened to Sister Greta?"



Sister Mary: "I was gonna go with Sister Greta, but the region is so volatile, I decided I'd feel much safer with a male companion."



Gabrielle: "Carlos, you can't do this. You can't just go to Africa."



Carlos: "Honey, I'm only gonna be gone for two months. This journey is important for me. I want to be one of God's soldiers."



Sister Mary: "And you will be one, Carlos. After you see the devastation over there, you're never the same. You see how selfish your old life is and you just want to get rid of everything that reminds you of it. Oh, gosh. I should get going and start packing. We leave in less than a week."



Carlos: "I should probably send a thank you letter to my parole officer. He's being a real mensch about this."



Carlos walks out and goes upstairs.



Gabrielle: "I may be a Catholic, but I am so not above slapping a nun."



Sister Mary: "Go ahead. Do it. Just make sure you hit hard enough to leave a mark. Yeah. I didn't think so."



Advertising Agency



Lynette is talking on the phone.



Lynette: "Kiss the kids good night and I'll see them in the morning. Okay, yeah. I love you, too. Bye-bye."



She hangs up the phone.



Ed: "I'm sorry about the day care thing, Lynette, but Fran hardly ever lets me hold the kid. You know, since day one, all I ever got was, "support the head, support the head." I think I know how to support a damn baby head. Oh, let's just, let's just do this. I don't want to be here all night."



Lynette: "You're Mindy's father. You have a right to spend time with her."



Ed: "I know, but what can I do?"



Lynette: "You could stand up to Fran. If you don't, you'll just become more resentful, she'll get nuttier. And without a father figure, poor Mindy will grow up to be a stripper."



Ed: "A stripper?"



Lynette: "There's science to back that up."



Ed: "You know what? You go ahead and push the button on this day care thing, Lynette, and count Mindy in. Yeah, I'll handle Fran."



Lynette: "You're doing the right thing, Ed, for little Mindy."



Bree's House - Nighttime



Justin and Andrew are lying on Andrew's bed, playing video games. Andrew tries to kiss Justin.



Justin: "Dude, what if your mom walks in?"



Andrew: "She won't."



Justin: "You don't know that. Just wait 'till everybody's asleep. Seriously. I'll make it worth your while."



Andrew: "You better. I wish she would walk in on us, just to see the expression on her face. God, I hate her so much."



Justin: "Still, though, she's your mother. Don't you sort of have to love her?"



Andrew: "Last year, when she found out that I like guys, she freaked out. She said that if I didn't change, I'd be going straight to hell, so since I knew that I couldn't change, it suddenly hit me that one day, my own mother was gonna stop loving me, so I decided to stop loving her first. That way, it wouldn't hurt so bad."



Justin: "She didn't know what she was saying."



Andrew: "Yes, she did, so now she's got to be punished."



Justin: "How are you gonna punish her?"



Andrew: "One day, she'll slip up, and I'll have something against her and when that happens, I'm gonna take her down so hard, she'll never get back up."



Justin: "It may take you a while to get something on her."



Andrew: "That's okay. I don't mind waiting for the things that I want."



Advertising Agency



Ed walks in carrying a toddler.



Ed: "Lynette, hey, hey. Look who's here."



Lynette: "Hey! You know, the day care room won't be ready until next week at the earliest."



Ed: "If I had waited, I might have lost my nerve. I had a window. Fran was in the shower, so I just grabbed the baby and ran."



Lynette: "You took the baby without telling Fran?"



Ed: "I refuse to be bullied by that woman. You were right. Mindy is my daughter/ I wanted to spend time with her. I have that right."



Pat: "Um, Ed, the lobby just called and your wife's on her way up and she seems pretty angry."



Ed: "Oh, man. Here. Hold Mindy."



Lynette: "Oh."



Ed: "Let me handle this."



Lynette: "Oh, I was planning to."



The elevator door opens. An angry Fran comes out.



Fran: "I thought Mindy had been kidnapped!"



Ed: "I left a sticky note."



Fran: "I wasn't looking for a sticky note, Ed! I was looking for my missing child!"



Ed: "She's my child, too, and she's staying here, just a few hours a day."



Fran: "You, give her to me."



Ed: "No, I made a decision."



Fran: "Yeah? Okay, watch me make a decision. I'm done with this marriage. I'm taking my baby and I'm getting on a plane to Pittsburgh."



Ed: "You wouldn't dare!"



Fran: "You think you miss Mindy now, wait till we're living with my mother!"



Ed: "I'll fight you on this."



Fran: "Yeah? Try me."



"As Lynette saw her dreams of day care about to board a plane to Pittsburgh..."



Lynette walks toward her office with the baby.



Ed: "You're crazy, you know that?!"



Fran: "Yeah! I'm crazy to think that you understand..."



"...she decided this flight would have to be grounded."



Lynette goes into her office and locks the door.



Fran: "You don't scare me. Oh. Oh! What the hell is she doing?"



She sees Lynette locked in the office with her baby.



Fran: "Open up! Give me my baby!"



Ed: "Good thinking, Lynette!"



Lynette: "I am not on your side, Ed"



Ed: "You're not?"



Lynette: "No, I am on Mindy's side. She is the one caught in the middle, and I'm not letting you two have her until you calm down."



Fran: "I want my damn child.



Pat: "Lynette, I have Tom on line two."



Lynette: "Pat, can you see here I'm holding a baby hostage? I will call back!"



Fran gets out her cell phone.



Fran: "All right, that's it. I'm calling the police."



Ed: "Oh, for god's sakes! Lynette's not going to hurt the baby!"



Lynette: "No, and you're gonna get her back a whole lot faster if you will just listen to me. Okay? Listen, and you? All right, good. So, first of all, Ed, stealing the baby was really stupid."



Fran: "Thank you."



Lynette: "You're welcome. You need to find a better way to communicate with your wife. And, Fran, I know what the pressure of trying to be a super parent does to your head. You can take a break and be a great mom. Doesn't this little sweetheart deserve a well-rested mommy?"



Fran: "Well, I guess the pressure does get to me a little."



Ed: "And it's okay to admit that."



Lynette: "This is communication. This is good. Why don't you guys go down to the lobby, talk it out over some coffee?"



Fran: "Uh, what about Mindy?"



Lynette: "We've got day care!"



Fran and Ed leave. Lynette looks at Mindy.



Lynette: "We've got day care!"



Meadowside Psychiatric Hospital



Betty approaches the nurse's station. She sees Caleb sitting on a couch in a day room.



Betty: "Hi. I called earlier from the spiritual outreach program?"



Nurse Delany: "Hi. Piano player, right? This is so generous of you. There it is. It's not exactly a concert grand. I should warn you, on the whole, our patients are generally unresponsive, so I hope you don't expect a lot of clapping."



Betty: "Miss Delany, I find when the spiritual rewards are this great, who needs applause?"



Nurse Delany: "Excuse me."



The nurse goes back to her paperwork.



Grocery Store



Susan is doing her shopping. Carol comes around the corner to where Susan is.



Susan: "Did Addison talk to you about me?"



Carol begins throwing the groceries at Susan.



Susan: "Oh! I guess not."



Carol: "He's a married man! What's wrong with you?"



Susan: "No, wait! Wait! It's not what you think!"



Carol: "He hasn't touched me for three years because of, of sluts like you!"



Susan: "Carol, if you would just stop throwing things at me, I'll explain!"



Carol: "How, how can you explain? You're screwing my husband!"



Susan: "No, I'm not screwing him! He's my father!"



Susan bends over, protecting herself. Carol stops, dropping a bag of beans on the ground, which spill open.



Susan: "I'm so sorry. I thought you should know, but he didn't want to tell you."



Carol: "I want to die."



Susan: "Oh, no."



Carol: "I do."



Susan: "Oh, Carol, you don't have to clean that up. They have clerks for that."



Carol: "How old are you?"



Susan: "Thirty-eight."



Carol: "We've been married thirty-nine years. It's been going on from the start."



Susan: "Believe me, I didn't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to find my dad."



Carol: "I'm glad you did, but you be careful, sweetheart. He's gonna break your heart."



Carol walks away.



Bree's House



Bree and Andrew are in the kitchen.



Bree: "Andrew, I made an appointment with a therapist for you, me, and Danielle."



Andrew: "I don't think so."



Bree: "This pain that you're feeling is completely natural, but it's not gonna go away until you deal with it. Andrew, I want us to heal. I want us to be a family again."



Andrew: "You know what I want? I want for George Williams to walk through that door so I can take a knife and plunge it into his heart. I want the pharmacist to pay for what he did to my father."



Bree: "Well, the good news is he's, he's dead."



Andrew: "He committed suicide. His death was on his terms. That's not justice."



Bree: "So, are you saying if he were executed, that it would be easier for you to get past this?"



Andrew: "Of course."



Bree: "George didn't intend to commit suicide. He was trying to manipulate me into taking him back and he swallowed those pills hoping that I'd feel sorry for him. He just assumed that I would call an ambulance. When I got there, he was already slipping away. I tried to get him to accept responsibility for what he'd done, but he wouldn't."



Andrew: "So what'd you do?"



Bree: "Nothing. I just sat there and let him die."



Andrew: "Oh, my god."



Bree: "He didn't die on his terms, Andrew. He paid for what he did to your father."



Andrew hugs Bree.



Andrew: "Thank you for telling me this."



Meadowside Psychiatric Hospital Parking Lot



Monroe is sitting in his car with the picture of Caleb on the seat next to him. He pulls out a syringe and fills it.



Meadowside Psychiatric Hospital



Monroe, dressed in scrubs, is pushing a wheelchair around. He passes by another orderly.



Monroe: "Hey, how you doin'?"



He looks at the name register and sees John Doe is in Room 614. He walks into Room 614 and pulls out the syringe, looking around as he enters the room, only to find the room empty. He walks toward the day room where Betty is playing the piano. He sees Caleb in the back with a man in a coat and cap standing behind him. The man approaches Caleb, takes off the hat and coat, and puts it on Caleb. Matthew walks Caleb out of the day room as Monroe watches them pass. He follows.



Mike's House



Paul goes to the door just as Mike is coming out.



Mike: "Yeah?"



Paul: "Zach's come home."



Mike: "What? Is he okay?"



Paul: "He's fine."



Mike: "Is there anything I can do?"



Paul: "Thanks for asking. You can leave us alone."



Mike: "I spent a lot of time looking for Zach and you know why."



Paul: "Maybe I'm not making myself clear. You come near my son, I'll go to the police. I'll tell them what happened out in that quarry."



Mike: "You do that and we'll both go down."



Paul: "Well, you know I'm capable of almost anything. Hey, I thought you'd like to know Zach and I are moving away. I want to give my son a shot at a normal life. I'm sure you'll agree it's for the best."



Mike: "Now see, this is where you and I don't see eye-to-eye. For Zach's sake, I'll keep quiet, for now, but you're not taking him away. If I see a "for sale" sign in front of that house, I'll call the police. I'm capable of pretty much anything myself."



Fairview County Hospital



Nurse hands Carlos forms on a clipboard for him to fill out. Gabrielle is sitting next to him reading a magazine.



Nurse: "The doctor's going to give you a full work-up, then we'll start the inoculations. Make sure you fill out everything and the nurse will take you back."



Carlos: "Thank you."



Gabrielle: "Boy, Sister Mary's done a number on you."



Carlos: "Right."



Gabrielle: "Yes, right. She has you flying halfway across the world to help the poor and there's perfectly good poor right here. For god's sakes, give a buck to a homeless guy."



Carlos: "It's not the same."



Gabrielle: "No, it's better because you can do it in the comfort of your own car."



Carlos: "The point is not to be comfortable, Gaby. It's about easing pain and suffering. Look, I'm trying to be a better person here. Now you can either help me or you can get out of the way, but you can't stop me."



Nurse: "Carlos Solis? Come with me, please."



Carlos: "Finish that for me."



Carlos hands the clipboard to Gabrielle and gets up. Gabrielle gets up and gives the clipboard to the nurse and the nurse's station.



Gabrielle: "Here."



Nurse: "He didn't fill out the allergy section. "



Gabrielle: "Honey, he's going to a remote village in Africa. Does it really matter that he's allergic to eggs?"



Nurse: "Actually, yes. Eggs are on the list. He could have a severe reaction to the yellow fever vaccine, and he won't be getting out of bed, let alone leaving the country."



Gabrielle: "Really? Oh, don't write that down. I wasn't being specific. He's allergic to fish eggs."



Nurse: "Fish eggs?"



Gabrielle: "Poor baby's gone his whole life without caviar. Now that's suffering."



Doctor's Office



Carlos is sitting with his shirt off as Gabrielle watches.



Carlos: "All right, Doc, give me all you got."



Gabrielle's House



Carlos is lying on the bed, delirious.



Carlos: "It's so hot in this village."



Gabrielle: "Baby, that's the fever talking. The doctor said you're having an allergic reaction, but you're gonna be fine, okay?"



Carlos: "Hold me."



Gabrielle: "Oh, honey. I'm so sorry. Oh, maybe that stupid nun is right. Maybe I am trying to stop you from becoming a better person. It's just that I love you the way you are, greedy, selfish, and insensitive. I'm just scared if you're not those things anymore, you're gonna wake up one day and realize I still am, and then you won't want me."



Carlos: "I want you. Just hold me."



Gabrielle: "Oh, Carlos."



Carlos: "Hold me, Sister Mary."



Susan's House - Outside



Susan is painting the garage door.



Addison: "Painting in the rain? Is that smart?"



Susan: "Well, let me see. Painting in the rain or letting the whole world think I'm a whore? I don't know. What do you think?"



Addison: "Heard you ran into my wife."



Susan: "Yep."



Addison: "So?"



Susan: "So, you are hereby released of any further obligation to be my dad."



Addison: "Okay. Just so you know, I'm not actually proud of what I've done. You know, my hobbies."



Susan: "Good for you. Bye."



Addison: "I have done things I'm proud of. I could give you five examples right now. Okay, maybe three."



Susan: "You don't have to do this."



Addison: "I was a volunteerfireman. I, uh, put out fires, I got kittens out of trees, the whole nine yards."



Susan: "Sweet."



Addison: "About twenty years ago, I started a foundation to protect wild horses. I probably saved hundreds of them."



Susan: "Really?"



Addison: "I'm full of surprises."



Susan: "Okay, one more."



Addison: "I wasn't exactly thrilled when you walked back into my life. Now that I've met you, well, you gave me a third thing to be proud of."



Susan: "That was a good one."



Addison: "That's why I saved it for last. I have to spend some time working on my marriage. When that's all sorted out, maybe we could continue with the catching up?"



Susan: "I'll wait for your call."



Addison walks off.



"The stories are as old as time itself."



Paul's House



"The prodigal son who returns home to the father who forgives him."



Paul watches lovingly as Zach plays the guitar.



Gabrielle's House



"The jealous wife who tricks the husband who trusts her..."



Gabrielle gently wipes Carlos' forehead as they lie on the bed.



Betty's House



"The desperate mother who risks everything for the child who needs her."



Betty covers a sleeping Caleb with a blanket.



Addison's House



"And the faithless husband who hurts the wife who loves him so deeply."



Addison walks out of the door with keys in hand. He looks at Carol, who is watering the plants.



Bree's House - Outside



"Why do we listen again and again?"



Bree is gardening while Andrew watches her.



"Because these are the stories of family, and once we look past the fighting, pain and the resentment…;



Advertising Agency Day Care Center



Lynette walks in.



"We occasionally like to remind ourselves...there is absolutely nothing more important."



Lynette picks up Penny and hugs her.



Lynette: "Hi, bunny, bunny. Hi."
