Ed: "Hi."



Ms. McCluskey: "Hi."



Ed: "I'm Ed Ferrara, Lynette's boss. Is she around?"



Ms. McCluskey: "Uh, well, actually, she's at the, uh, the, uh, doctor's."



Ed: "Oh. Yeah. Well, could you give her this?"



Ms. McCluskey: "Sure."



Ed: "And tell her to get well. And she doesn't need to come back to work till she's good and ready."



Ms. McCluskey: "I will make sure she gets this."



Ed: "Okay."



She closes the door. Kayla sneaks out the back door and runs over to Ed, who's returning to his car.



Kayla: "Excuse me. Mister? I just wanted to tell you our babysitter gets mixed up sometimes. Lynette's not at the doctor's."



Ed: "She's not?"



Kayla: "Nope."



Ed: "Well, where is she?"



STREET FAIR



Lynette shows up at the booth with an empty tray.



Lynette: "Load me up again, would ya?"



Tom: "Yeah?"



Lynette: "I'm gonna go poach some customers from that sausage-on-a-stick guy. Oh, I love it. Scavo's Pizzeria! Try the smoked chicken and sundried tomato."



Customer: "Mmm! This crust is fantastic!"



Lynette: "It's cornmeal. That's the secret."



She bumps into Ed.



Ed: "It's not your only secret, is it, Lynette?"



Lynette: "Hi...Ed."



Ed: "How's the arm?"



Lynette: "Uh, on the mend , but I'm gonna be there bright and early Monday morning."



Ed: "Don't bother. You're fired."



Lynette: "Wait, Ed! Ed, please don't go. Yes, I lied, and that was wrong, but my husband needed my help."



Ed: "I need your help. You've been gone eight weeks, with pay, while the company's been falling apart. And now you pull this on me?"



Lynette: "Like I said, really, really wrong, but if you take me back, I swear I will give you one hundred percent."



Ed: "So...if we have to work late, you're gonna do it. If I ask you to miss your kid's baseball game, you're gonna say, "No problem, Ed"?"



Lynette: "You got it, Ed."



Ed: "Good. I'll see you Monday."



He disappears in the crowd. Lynette turns around and sees Parker standing there. He turns away.



SUSAN'S HOUSE



Susan is on the phone.



Ian: "Hi. It's me. Um, listen, we have to talk."



Susan: "Ian, I'm sorry, too. We've got to stop fighting like this."



Ian: "Susan, um, Jane's doctor called me. She's taken a bad turn."



Susan: "Oh. Ian..."



Ian: "I'm, uh, I'm on the next flight out, but it's not for a few hours, and Jane's parents are in Rome. Would, uh, would you go to the hospital for me?"



Susan: "The hospital?"



Ian: "Well, I know it's a lot to ask , but if something should happen, I...well, I don't want her to be alone."



OUTSIDE GABRIELLE'S HOUSE - NIGHTTIME



Gabrielle and Zach step out of a limo and head slowly towards her front porch.



Gabrielle: "Oh, I'm stuffed. I can't believe you talked me into that crème brûlée."



Zach: "Oh, don't feel guilty. I'm sure we burned it off on the dance floor."



Gabrielle: "I know! You're such a good dancer! Where'd you learn how to salsa?"



Zach: "I've been taking lessons 'cause I knew it was your favorite."



Gabrielle: "When did I say that?"



Zach: "Cosmo, ninety-eight. And I knew you liked that Merlot from your Vogue interview."



Gabrielle: "You researched me? That's sweet! In a, uh, stalkery kind of way. Thanks again for a surprisingly enjoyable night. See you around."



She turns to unlock her front door.



Zach: "Uh... Gaby?"



Gabrielle: "Right, the kiss. Sorry. I didn't mean to welsh on ya. All right. Pucker up."



She closes her eyes and puckers her lips. Zach opens his mouth wide and covers her mouth with his.



For several seconds, he hangs on while she tries to push him away.



Gabrielle: "What the hell are you doing?!"



Zach: "But you said I could kiss you."



Gabrielle: "Yes, my lips, not my esophagus !"



Zach: "For your information, I have been told that I'm a very good kisser, all right?"



Gabrielle: "By who? The same girl that taught you to use your tongue like a windshield wiper?"



Zach: "No, by women, women with lots of experience, and every single one of them said that I was a great kisser."



Gabrielle: "How much did you pay them to say that?"



Zach doesn't say anything.



Gabrielle: "No! You've paid women for..."



Zach: "It's none of your business, all right? It's none of your business."



Gabrielle: "Uh, yes, it is. You just vacuumed my tonsils . I deserve to know where that mouth has been."



Zach: "You know what? I'm sorry. I gotta go."



Gabrielle: "Wait, Zach. Zach, I'm not mad!"



He gets into the limo and it drives off.



Gabrielle: "Okay, I'm just a little...grossed out, that's all!"



HOSPITAL



Susan walks towards Jane's hospital room. A woman, Erika, is in there yelling at a man who's leaving.



Erika: "No, you heard me. You heard me, all right? Read my lips. Just go, all right? Go! You've got no right to be here!"



Man: "All right!"



Susan reaches the room.



Erika: "What, another one? You organ donor people are vultures ."



Susan: "Um, no, actually, I'm a friend of Ian's. He asked me to come...for Jane."



Erika: "Oh, you...you're the girlfriend. All right, that's okay then. Come on in."



Later, the two of them are sitting in Jane's room, watching her.



Susan: "So, Erika, you were fighting with that guy when I came in. Have you had a lot of those organ donor people around today?"



Erika: "Oh, that wasn't about that. No, that was Ted. What, Ian never told you about Jane and Ted?"



Susan: "No. What about them?"



Erika: "Nothing. Forget I mentioned it. It is not my place."



Susan: "What?"



Erika: "They had an affair."



Susan: "Jane cheated on Ian? When was this?"



Erika: "I hate to dish my best friend on her death bed...but gossip was the foundation of our relationship, so...it was five years ago. Ian was traveling a lot on business, Jane was lonely, and along came Ted."



Susan: "I'm just stunned . So I guess they worked it out, right?"



Erika: "Well, Ian took her back. But if you're asking, did he ever really trust her again? I don't think so."



Susan: "Poor Ian."



Erika: "You don't know the half of it. I mean, to be betrayed by somebody you loved that much...you're just never the same."



SCAVO PIZZARIA



Lynette walks into the pizzaria.



Tom: "Hey. What are you doing here?"



Lynette: "Um, word on the street is you're looking for a manager."



Tom: "Yeah."



Lynette: "Here's my application ."



Tom: "I thought Ed took you back."



Lynette: "He did. I told him I wasn't interested."



Tom: "What? You're quitting?"



Lynette: "I had so much fun at the fair today, working with you on something that was all ours. I want every day to be like that."



Tom: "Honey, so do I. Are you sure? I mean, your career's always meant so much to you."



Lynette: "When I got shot and I was lying there bleeding, I wasn't thinking "God, I'm really gonna miss advertising." I think this could be the best thing that's ever happened to our family. We can make our own hours, we'll be together more, and, yes, the money is gonna be a little tight, but I think this place could be a gold mine ."



Tom: "In that case, you're hired. You do, of course, realize you have to sleep with the boss."



Lynette: "I can do that."



Tom: "Good."



They kiss. Lynette's hands travel down to Tom's butt.



Tom: "Wow. It's a little soon to be gunning for a promotion."



BREE'S HOUSE



Orson walks into the kitchen where Andrew is sitting at the computer.



Orson: "Your mother not home yet?"



Andrew: "Uh, I haven't seen her."



The phone rings and Orson picks it up.



Orson: "Hello? What is it now? Alma did what?! No, no. I'll be right over."



He leaves.



ALMA'S HOUSE



Alma is lying on the bed, sleeping, her wrists bandaged as blood seeps through. Orson and Gloria stand by the bed.



Orson: "Wait, wait, what...what did Alma do?"



Gloria: "I just thank the Lord I got here when I did."



Orson: "But why didn't you call an ambulance?"



Gloria: "I thought it best for all concerned to keep this quiet. By the way, she left a note."



Later, Orson reads the note while sitting in a chair by the bed.



Orson: "She only did this to upset me. She knows my history. She knows exactly what buttons to push."



Gloria: "Orson, calm down. Here."



She hands him a drink.



Orson: "Our marriage is over. I will not submit to emotional blackmail."



He gets up from his chair and stumbles, sinking back down.



Gloria: "Are you all right?"



Orson: "I feel dizzy."



He tries getting up again.



Gloria: "Then perhaps you should just...sit."



He sits down.



Orson: "My God. Did you poison me?"



Gloria: "And kill my only child? You see how he talks to me?"



Alma sits up in bed.



Alma: "It's my fault. I upset him. Sorry about all this. I just needed to get your attention."



Orson: "Why? What do you want?"



Gloria: "What every mother wants, dear...a grandchild."



Alma gets out of bed and removes her robe to reveal the lacy red lingerie she's wearing.



Later, she and Gloria have transferred Orson to the bed, where he lies, drugged.



Gloria: "Well, well, why don't I give you two some privacy?"



Alma: "Thank you, mother Hodge."



Gloria leaves and Alma pushes Orson back as he struggles to sit up.



Alma: "You mustn't struggle. I want this baby to be born of love. I've been injecting myself with hormones to improve our chances. You wait and see. This is gonna fix everything."



Orson: "You're crazy."



Alma: "Crazy for you, mister!"



Orson: "I won't. You can't make me."



Alma: "Yes, I can. That drink had two kinds of pills in it. One to put you to sleep, and one to keep the part of you I need nice and perky . Now...how about a little music?"



She takes a remote by the bed and pushes a button and music fills the room. Alma sings along.



Alma: "We're all alone, no chaperone can get our number...the world's in slumber, let's misbehave..."



JANE'S HOSPITAL ROOM



Susan comes into the room with two cups of coffee. Erika pushes past her to leave.



Erika: "The doctor was just here. He said her blood pressure's dropping. She could go anytime. I gotta go call her parents."



Susan's cell phone rings. She picks it up.



Susan: "Hi."



Ian: "It's me. We just took off. I'll be there in about six hours."



Susan: "Uh, sweetie...I don't think she's gonna make it that long. "



Ian: "Don't tell me that."



Susan: "You've done everything you could. She knows that you love her."



Ian: "Well, it's just there's...there's things I've got to say to her. I've carried around so much anger about something that doesn't mean anything now, And I... I need her to know that."



Susan: "I'm gonna put the phone up to Jane's ear, and you can tell her whatever you need to, okay?"



Ian: "Okay."



She puts the phone by Jane's ear. Ian begins to talk.



Ian: "Hello, Jane, darling. It's Ian. I never imagined I'd have to say goodbye to you like this. There's so much I want to say..."



ZACH'S HOUSE



Zach is sitting alone in his recording studio, playing his guitar. Gabrielle walks in.



Gabrielle: "You play that pretty well."



Zach: "What are you doing here?"



Gabrielle: "I had a good time tonight, but I hated the way it ended."



Zach: "Yeah, me, too. Gaby...about those women..."



Gabrielle: "Forget about it. Give a horny kid a couple million bucks and the yellow pages, and stuff is gonna happen."



Zach: "It's not just them. I...I'm paying everyone that I know. Those guys in my band, they're not my friends. I'm hiring them to hang out with me."



Gabrielle: "So stop doing it. Stop buying people."



Zach: "Yeah, right, and then I'd have no one at all."



Gabrielle: "That's not true. You'd have me. As a friend. A friend friend. Not a girlfriend. I really cannot overstress that."



Zach: "Come on. Why do you wanna be my friend? We have zero in common. "



Gabrielle: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I think we're both... adrift. It'd just be nice to have a pal who gets what I'm going through. Why don't you play me something you wrote?""



Zach: "Yeah? Okay. Can I sing, too?



Gabrielle: "Sure. Why not?"



Zach: "All right."



He starts to play his guitar and sing.



Zach: "Gaby, sweet Gaby..."



Gabrielle stops him.



Gabrielle: "Wow. Why don't you just hum it, okay?"



BREE'S HOUSE



Bree walks in the house to find Andrew watching TV while eating from a bag of potato chips.



Bree: "Hi. Sorry. My book club ran late. Didn't Orson make you dinner?"



Andrew: "Oh, no. He's been over at Alma's. He's been there for a few hours now."



Bree goes over the window and looks across the street. Alma's house is dark except for the upstairs bedroom which has a light on.



ALMA'S HOUSE



Bree storms into Alma's bedroom where Alma is lying cuddled up against Orson's unconscious body. Alma jumps up and grabs a robe to cover herself.



Bree: "What the hell is this?!"



Alma: "Oh, Bree. I'm so, so sorry you had to find out this way."



Bree: "Not as sorry as you are gonna be! Orson, get up!"



Alma: "Leave him alone. He wants to be with me now."



Bree: "Orson, I have caught you cheating. At least have the courtesy to wake up! Oh, for God sakes. Orson! Orson? What have you done to him?!"



Alma: "Nothing. You know men. The minute it's over...wham, off to dreamland."



Bree: "He's not sleeping. He's out cold."



She opens the nightstand drawer and pulls out two bottles of pills.



Bree: "Oh, I knew it. These are sleeping pills, and these are...oh, my God. You raped my husband!"



Alma: "We made love, and when our baby's born, he's gonna come back to me."



Bree: "Baby?!"



Alma: "It's true. I could be expecting right now."



Bree: "Were you expecting this?"



She punches Alma, then goes over the bedside phone and dials a number.



Bree: "Andrew, I need you to come over here right away...and, um...bring the wheelbarrow. "



OUTSIDE MIKE'S HOUSE



Zach is wearing a suit and standing on Mike's front porch when Mike drives up in his truck. Mike gets out of the truck and walks up to Zach.



Zach: "Hi. Do...do you remember me?"



Mike: "No. No, not really. But I know who you are."



Zach: "Okay. Good. "



Mike: "What you did, I'm, um...really grateful."



Zach: "It's cool. So if you need anything else, I guess...just let me know."



Mike: "Well, I do need something. But it's not for me."



PRISON



Zach, still in his suit, is visiting Paul in prison.



Paul: "So how you doing? You look terrific, really mature. Your mother would be proud."



Zach: "Thanks."



Paul: "I've, uh, really missed you a lot, and I'm sorry for, uh...for everything. I hope you can forgive me. I want us to be friends."



Zach: "And that's the only reason you wanted to see me, right? So we could be friends?"



Paul: "Yes."



Zach: "Okay. That's great. That's fine."



Paul: "Well, there is one other thing."



Zach: "Oh."



Paul: "Yeah. It's just...Felicia Tillman faked her death. She's still out there. You and I, we both know that. If you gave, or lent me some money, I could hire someone to track her down, and then I could get out of here, and you and I could pick up where we left off."



Zach: "Okay...you asked me how I was doing. I'm actually doing great. I've got the hottest, most amazing girlfriend in the entire world, and I am gonna marry that woman. I'm gonna buy her everything she wants. So...I have got to learn to say no when people ask me for money, Because I got a future wife to think about. She's got really expensive taste. I mean, I do forgive you, though...Paul."



OUTSIDE SUSAN'S HOUSE



Susan is standing on the sidewalk, looking down the street when Mike walks over to her.



Mike: "Hey, Susan."



Susan: "Hey. You're back."



Mike: "Yeah, Zach Young posted my bail, but I'm guessing you had something to do with it."



Susan: "Maybe a little."



Mike: "Is there any way that I can thank you, you know, for everything you've done?"



Susan: "Actually, yeah, there is."



Mike: "Good. Good. Just tell me."



Susan: "I can't see you anymore. I want you to understand it doesn't have anything to do with you. It's just..."



Mike: "That's okay."



Susan: "It's not..."



Mike: "I think I get it."



Down the street, a limo turns the corner and heads towards where Susan is.



Mike: "Well, I, uh, I should probably go. Bye."



Susan: "Good luck with everything."



Mike: "Good luck to you and Ian."



The limo pulls up and Ian gets out. He stares at Susan for a few seconds, then kisses her passionately. She kisses him back, then hugs him. From across the street, Mike watches them.



Mary Alice: "Yes, it can happen so quickly. Life as we know it can change in the blink of an eye."



ZACH'S HOUSE



Mary Alice: "Unlikely friendships can blossom..."



Zach receives flowers from Gabrielle.



LYNETTE'S HOUSE



Mary Alice: "Important careers can be tossed aside..."



OUTSIDE MIKE'S HOUSE



On the porch, Mike opens up a bottle of beer and clinks his bottle against Carlos', who is sitting next to him, also drinking beer.



Mary Alice: "A long-lost hope can be rekindled ."



HOSPITAL



A covered body is wheeled into an elevator. On the foot is a tag that reads "Jane Hainsworth."



Mary Alice: "Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there are no changes left."
