Gabrielle: "I know. I never did that. You would not believe the horrible things these girls did to stay skinny."



Amy: "Like what?"



Gabrielle: "Well, some would smoke those unfiltered French cigarettes."



Donna: "But cigarettes can kill you."



Gabrielle: "But before they do, they kill your appetite. One time, there was a girl who took too many laxatives, and, uh...well, if you're ever at the Chateau Milan in room two thirty-eight, do not use the Jacuzzi."



Isabel: "Do you have to be skinny to be a model?"



Gabrielle: "Well, yeah. When's the last time you saw a fat person on a magazine cover? Now I'm gonna go talk to Vern about our next session. You guys finish lunch so we can get back to work."



She leaves and the girls look at each other, then one by one, put their half-eaten slices of pizza back in the pizza box.



Ian's House



Susan: "Hi, Rupert! I went to the mall and bought a change of clothes for the weekend, and while I was there, I got something for you. I thought you could wear it on your day off. Do you like it?"



She holds up a shirt with the British flag on it.



Rupert: "Very much. It'll come in handy, should my nationality ever slip my mind."



Susan: "That was good. You. I wanna party with you. Hey, I was thinking this afternoon maybe we could go look for that drawer."



Rupert: "Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm afraid I have all this silver to polish."



Susan: "Well, let me help you, and we can talk. There is so much I wanna know about you. Who is Rupert Cavanaugh? What makes him tick?"



She picks up a piece of silverware and begins to polish it. He grabs it from her and stands up.



Rupert: "Tell you what. Let's go find you that drawer, hmm?"



The two of them walk down the hall.



Susan: "Oh, isn't the master bedroom down that way?"



Rupert: "I realize it's a bit of a jaunt, but I managed to find you an entire bureau."



Susan: "Oh, okay, well, you certainly didn't have to go to all that trouble."



They enter a room that's filled haphazardly with dusty furniture.



Rupert: "Is there a problem?"



Susan: "No, I just, um, well, all I really needed was just a little, little drawer, and, uh, this is just so far away and what is that smell?"



Rupert: "Oh, yes, about that. The cat passed away in this room."



Susan: "Did you consider removing the body?"



Rupert: "Well, if this isn't acceptable, I can look elsewhere for a drawer when I have the time."



Susan: "Why do you have to be this way?"



Rupert: "What way is that?"



Susan: "Listen, I know how you feel about Jane, but if you could just give me a chance. I mean, come on, you can't possibly hate me this much, can you?"



Rupert: "I'm done."



Susan: "Oh, fine. Fine, fine, fine, fine. I don't need you to like me, but I think you should give me just a little respect. I am Ian's girlfriend."



Rupert: "He's still married. At best, you're his mistress."



Susan: "Okay, you are not allowed to call me that."



Rupert: "Fine. What term would you prefer? Concubine? Consort? Gold-digging whore?"



She slaps him.



Susan: "Oh! I'm so sorry. I'm, I shouldn't have done that. But, Rupert, you have to admit, it's just a drawer."



Rupert: "Those drawers are filled with Jane's things. This is her house. You are a guest in her house and a temporary one at best."



Susan: "Okay, you know, that is for Ian to decide."



Rupert: "Oh, he has decided. Why do you think he never told me about you? Why did he wait so long to bring you here? He didn't want you in that room, where he still keeps Jane's things exactly as she left them. But, I'll keep looking for that drawer."



Lynette's House



Lynette and the boys are in the living room when Tom walks in.



Tom: "Hey, I'm going over to Mike's."



Lynette: "I thought you were gonna mow the lawn."



Tom: "I know. It's just that I promised I'd help him install a shower bar, and, um, it could take a while."



Lynette: "Okay."



Mike's House



Tom goes inside where Carlos is watching the football game.



Carlos: "T-Rex. How they hanging, brother?"



Tom: "Low and lazy."



Carlos: "Here you go."



Tom: "Yeah. Hey, if Lynette asks, I installed your shower bar today."



Mike: "You got it."



Gabrielle's House



Gabrielle: "Vern, what are you doing here?"



Vern: "We need to talk."



Gabrielle: "Is it about the girls' makeup? 'Cause I got them each their own makeup kit, custom-tailored to match their skin tone. And I got Melina some wax. I know she's only eleven, but those Greek genes are gonna kick in any day now. What?"



Vern: "This morning, Mrs. Hayes caught Donna with her finger down her throat, trying to barf up her toaster waffle."



Gabrielle: "Really?"



Vern: "And Mrs. Horowitz found Isabel behind their garage smoking. Apparently, she thought cigarettes would help her lose a few pounds. Where do you think she got that idea?"



Gabrielle: "Those damn tobacco companies!"



Vern: "Gaby!"



Gabrielle: "Fine, I may have told a few stories about the old days, but as a warning. I didn't say anything inappropriate for kids."



Vern: "Cassie Warren asked her mother if she could throw a Gomorrah party."



Gabrielle: "Okay, look, we have to do damage control. I get it. Next session, I'll apologize to all the moms."



Vern: "Uh-uh, there's not gonna be a next session for you. The moms don't want you anywhere near their daughters."



Gabrielle: "But I'm helping them. They love me! Wait, please, Vern, you have to give me a chance to fix this."



Vern: "Too late, Gaby. You are now officially a bad influence. Well, see you at spin class."



Lynette's House



Lynette is sleeping on the couch as the kids play in the living room and watch TV. Parker gets up to leave.



Twin: "Mom said we couldn't leave."



Parker: "I'm just going out front."



Mike's House



Carlos and Tom are watching the football game. Mike is off to the side, looking pensive.



Tom (at the TV): "What the hell is that?"



Carlos (at the TV): "Stop running the ball!"



Mike: "Can I ask you guys something? What was I like before the accident?"



Carlos: "What do you mean?"



Mike: "I mean, what kind of guy was I? Was I happy? Was I angry? Did I ever get violent?"



Carlos: "You were fine."



Mike turns the TV off.



Mike: "I'm serious. I really need to know. You can be honest. You're my best friend."



Carlos: "Honestly? You were sort of mysterious, kept to yourself. Nobody really knew you all that well."



Tom: "And this is coming from your best friend."



Mike turns the TV back on.



Carlos (at the TV): "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"



Tom (at the TV): "Yes!"



Lynette's House



Lynette wakes up.



Lynette: "I'm sorry, guys, I guess I was just really tired. Where's your brother?"



Twin: "He went outside."



Twin: "Yeah."



Lynette: "What, okay, watch her!"



She indicates Penny, who's on the couch.



Lynette: "Watch her. I'll be back. I'll be right back."



She runs outside.



Art's House



Lynette starts pounding on the front door of Art's house.



Lynette: "Hello? Open up! Open the door!"



Art: "Lynette? What's the matter?"



Lynette: "I want my son."



Art: "He's not here."



Lynette: "He's not at our house, he's not in our yard. Do not jerk me around."



She pushes past Art to go into his house.



Lynette: "Parker!"



Art: "You can't just barge into my house like this, Lynette."



Lynette: "Don't play dumb with me. I know exactly what is down here! Where's the pinball? Where's all the games?"



Art: "Oh, that was a collection I was taking up for the children's hospital. I delivered everything yesterday."



Lynette: "Did you donate the photos, too? Parker!"



Art: "What exactly is it you're accusing me of?"



Lynette: "Don't pretend you don't know. I'm calling the police. Parker!"



Rebecca, in her wheelchair, comes into the room.



Rebecca: "Is there a problem?"



Lynette: "You're damn right there's a problem. I can't find my son."



Rebecca: "Isn't that your son?"



She points out the window. Lynette runs outside where Tom and Parker are crossing the street.



Lynette: "Hey, hey! Where have you been?"



Tom: "We were at Mike's. He wandered over looking for me. What's going on?"



Lynette's House



Tom hangs up the phone.



Tom: "Well, that was the children's hospital. Art's story checks out. He donated all that stuff."



Lynette: "That proves nothing. He knew I was on to him. He had to dump it."



Tom: "Honey, believe me, I am with you. There is something fishy about this guy. But you've gotta get a grip. You can't go barging into people's homes."



Lynette: "What if Parker had been in there?"



Tom: "But he wasn't. And if you keep accusing this guy without proof, he can sue us. Listen, I've been thinking that after everything that you have been through..."



Lynette: "Please don't bring up the supermarket again."



Tom: "That was a traumatic experience. I think it's affected you more than you realize. And maybe you need to talk to somebody about it, like a therapist."



Lynette: "You're right. I need to talk to someone."



Later, Lynette is sitting outside her house on a bench, talking with Mrs. McCluskey.



Lynette: "He'd gotten rid of everything...the toys, the pictures, everything was gone."



Mrs. McCluskey: "You can't sit on this, Lynette."



Lynette: "I know! If something happened to someone's kid because I kept my mouth shut...the thing is, I promised Tom I'd back off."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Well, I didn't."



She picks up a cell phone and dials a number.



Ian's House



Susan is looking at Jane's clothing in the drawers in Ian's bedroom.



Susan: "Jane has some beautiful things."



Ian: "Yes, she's always had impeccable taste. I, um, I know how it must seem to you. My holding on to them. But I just couldn't bring myself to..."



Susan: "I get it. As much as I have tried to pretend that it's just you and me, there's three of us in this relationship."



Ian: "Susan, you know I adore you."



Susan: "No, please, listen...the last couple of months, I thought we've gotten really close, and I have been loving that. I just feel like lately...there's this limit to how far you'll let me in."



Ian: "Well, I'm trying. It's just the, um, the more I let you into my heart, the more I feel I'm pushing Jane out and..."



Susan: "You don't have to push Jane out to let me in."



Ian: "Of course. You're right. Do you know what I think?"



Susan: "No."



Ian: "That kind of compassionate wisdom deserves an obscenely expensive meal."



Susan: "Okay, well, give me a minute, and I will change into something nice."



Ian: "Rupert still hasn't found you a drawer?"



Susan: "No, not just yet."



Ian: "Well, in that case..."



He opens a drawer and pulls out clothing.



Susan: "Ian, you don't have to do that."



Ian: "If I can make room in my heart for both of you, I can certainly make room in my bureau."



Bree's House



Bree, Orson, Danielle, and Andrew are eating dinner.



Bree: "It's just not right. Your mother skipped lunch, too."



Orson: "She said she wasn't hungry. Can't we just revel in her absence?"



Bree: "I know she's a handful, but she deserves some compassion. The woman watched a dream die yesterday."



Danielle: "We all did."



Bree: "I'm taking her dinner up."



Andrew: "Oh, that's okay. I'll do it."



Bree: "Oh, no, I'd rather do it myself. I wanna talk to her."



Andrew: "Oh, well, I'll let her know you're coming."



He rushes upstairs to where Gloria is sitting in her room, drinking wine.



Andrew: "Mom's coming. Ditch the wine."



Gloria: "Very well."



She pours the rest of the wine into her glass.



Andrew: "You finished the whole bottle already?"



Gloria: "I was thirsty."



Bree enters.



Bree: "Gloria, I've been thinking and..."



Gloria: "Does no one in this house ever bother to knock?"



Bree: "Is that alcohol? Where did you get that?"



Gloria looks over to Andrew.



Bree: "Andrew!"



Andrew: "When my grandma asks me a favor with tears in her eyes, how..."



Gloria: "Oh, shut up, you little extortionist. He charged me twenty bucks, plus five for the corkscrew."



Bree: "I'll deal with you later."



Andrew: "You can kiss that codeine good-bye."



Orson enters.



Bree: "Andrew brought her wine."



Orson: "Oh, for God's sake. This is our house. If you expect to stay here, you're going to learn to obey a few rules."



Gloria: "I don't obey rules. I make them."



Orson: "Not anymore, mother."



Gloria: "Just watch yourself, sonny boy."



Bree: "Okay, look, I know you're upset, but don't blame Orson. It's not his fault."



Gloria: "It's all his fault. You think he's so wonderful. You don't know the half of what he's done."



Orson: "Let's go. I can't deal with her when she's like this."



Gloria: "He doesn't want you to hear the truth, how he cheated on Alma."



Bree: "What?"



Orson: "She's drunk!"



Gloria: "How he broke her heart and mine, all for his precious Monique."



Orson: "You shut up, mother."



Bree: "Monique Polier? I thought that was Harvey Bigsby's mistress."



Gloria: "Oh, she got around, that girl!"



Orson: "See, I told you. I told you she would do this."



Gloria: "There he was, cheating on Alma, not knowing all the time his whore was cheating on him."



Orson: "Stop it! You shut your evil mouth!"



Gloria: "Or what? What are you gonna do to me that hasn't already been done?"



Bree turns and leaves. Orson follows. Bree leaves the house.



Orson: "Bree, no! Bree, wait! Bree!"



Gloria comes downstairs. Orson enters the house and closes the door behind him.



Vern's Beauty Pageant Workshop



The girls are gathered around a table with clothing on it while the mothers are gathered together, chatting.



Gabrielle walks in.



Girls: "Miss Gabrielle!"



Mother #1: "What is she doing here?"



Vern: "I have no idea. I told her she was banned."



Gabrielle: "Okay, just give me a minute. I'm sorry about what I said to the girls, and it won't happen again."



Mother #1: "Damn right. You're not going anywhere near our girls."



Gabrielle: "Can't you give me a second chance?"



Mother #1: "Why should we?"



Mother #2: "Yeah, I mean, you walk in here all clickety-clack, perfect little miss size zero, thinking you're all better than us. We all saw the look on your face when you showed up."



Gabrielle: "I don't think I'm better than you. Hell, I envy you."



Mother #1: "Please."



Gabrielle: "No, it's true. You have husbands and families and a reason to wake up in the morning. What do I have? Him. Teaching your kids about confidence and beauty is the most useful thing I've done since I don't know when. And as much as I've helped them, they've helped me so much more. So please, I need this. And I promise, no more talk about dodgy weight loss methods. Like the highly effective, non-F.D.A. approved diet pill I can get from my friends in Zurich...in bulk."



Mother #1: "Well, I suppose the Christian thing would be to forgive her."



Gabrielle: "Well, why don't you ladies talk it over? And I'm gonna work on posture with the girls."



Girls: "Yeah! Come on! Come on, you guys. Let's go!"



Bree's House - Nighttime



Orson comes inside the house and finds Bree waiting for him.



Orson: "Oh, thank God. I've been driving around all night looking for you."



Bree: "We saw that woman at the morgue on our wedding night. You pretended not to know her."



Orson: "Bree, I can explain."



Bree: "No. I'm done."



Orson: "You don't understand what happened."



Bree: "There were two women in your life before me. One vanished and the other was killed. That's all I need to understand. I've packed some of your things. I want you out of the house. Now."



Orson: "Bree, please, I love you."



Bree: "I know, but it scares the hell out of me."



Bree goes upstairs.



Outside Bree's House



Orson leaves the house.



"Dangerous men walk among us, and we can't always be sure of who they are or what secrets they hide."



Wisteria Lane



Art jogs down the street, passing by Mrs. McCluskey's house. She dials a number on her cell phone.



"But once our worst suspicions are confirmed, we can take action."



Ian's House



Rupert makes the bed. Susan walks in and opens her drawer, removing an item of clothing.



"Once their agendas are revealed...we can take steps, to protect ourselves, and those we love."



Woods



Mike gets out of his truck.



"Yes, dangerous men can cause great harm. But sometimes the greatest danger they pose..."



Mike begins digging a hole. A flashlight shines in his face and the detective steps forward.



Detective Ridley: "I'll take those."



" to themselves."
