Susan runs and grabs a blanket. She throws it over Jane. She tries to arrange it neatly just as Ian comes out with the arranged flowers.



Ian: "No, no, no, I was thinking about how that sounded just now. The, uh, date thing. Really sprang it on you out of nowhere."



Susan: "Yes, you did."



Ian looks down and sees the blanket covering Jane.



Susan: "Jane looked cold."



Ian: "Oh. Thanks. Look, we're, um, we're both in difficult situations. I've been in mine a lot longer than you have, so if you're not ready, I understand. If you ever should be, uh, let, let me know."



Susan: "All right. Well, I am really hungry."



Ian: "Well, then let's go, let's go to the blood bank and swipe some sugar cookies."



As Ian and Susan leave the room, a nurse walks in. Susan stops the nurse.



Susan: "Oh, uh, you might want to give Jane a sponge bath 'cause she had a little accident."



Lynette's Backyard



It's decorated with balloon and party trimming. Kids are running, screaming, and playing. Phone rings and Lynette answers.



Lynette: "Hello."



Nora: "Hey Lynette, it's me."



Lynette: "Hey, Nora."



Nora: "Are you having a party?"



Lynette holds her hand over the phone and tries to silence everyone. Tom also tries to silence the kids.



Lynette: "Shh, shh. Quiet, shush!"



Tom: "Quiet!"



Lynette (into the phone): "No, no, no, of course not. In fact we're just having a quiet afternoon at home. The kids are so bored, Tom and I were thinking about taking them out for ice cream."



Nora: "Well, would you tell Kayla that Mommy called to check on her?"



Lynette: "Oh, I will, I will. And I'll see you tonight."



Nora: "Okay, bye."



Tom: "You think she bought it?"



Lynette: "No, I think she'll be over here in ten minutes."



Later...



Everyone is grabbing everything. Tom is pulling down the birthday signs.



Lynette: "Okay, let's move, let's move. I've got ten bucks here for the kid who can carry the most stuff. Okay?"



The kids are all scrambling around grabbing stuff. Lynette is on the phone.



Lynette: "Hey, Gaby, it's Lynette. Got a little emergency here. Is it okay if we use your backyard? Great, great, and we take complete responsibility for whatever the pony does. Hope you get this message soon. Oh!"



Lynette sees more balloons and runs to grab them.



Paul Young's House



Edie is giving a tour to a couple



Man: "My only concern would be the neighborhood. We really need a quiet place for our retirement."



Edie: "Oh, are you kidding? There's no place in Fairview that's more peaceful."



Edie opens the front door. Lynette, Tom, a bunch of kids, and a clown are all running down the street carrying balloons and toys and screaming. Edie closes the door and smiles at the couple.



Lynette: "Okay, kids. Come on, Come on!"



Edie quickly closes the door.



Edie: "Let me show you the media room."



Gabrielle's Back Yard



Lynette is guiding all the kids into the yard. She and Tom close the gate.



Lynette: "C'mon. Go on in. C'mon. Take the balloons. Okay, all right, okay, all right, everybody's in."



Tom: "Where's the cake?"



Lynette: "Oh, crap!"



Lynette takes off running.



Lynette's Kitchen



Lynette picks up the cake with candles on it.



Nora: "Yoo hoo! Anybody home?"



Nora enters through the front door. Lynette puts the cake on the floor and kicks it so it slides into the laundry room, out of sight.



Nora: "Hello?"



Lynette: "Hey, Nora, wow. We weren't expecting you until seven."



Nora: "So, where's Kayla?"



Lynette: "I thought I told you, Tom took the kids to the movies."



Nora: "Uh-uh. You said ice cream."



Lynette: "Uh huh, after the movies. Movies, then ice cream. An American tradition. So, is something wrong?"



Nora: "To be honest, I thought that you were lying and having a party."



Lynette: "Oh."



Nora: "I guess I was wrong."



Lynette: "Oh, apology accepted. You want me to walk you to your car?"



Just then, a little boy with a party hat on and his face painted comes out of the bathroom.



Little Boy: "Where did everybody go?"



Lynette's Front Porch



Nora comes storming out. Lynette follows.



Lynette: "Nora, look I am sorry I lied. You know you gave me no choice. It's-"



Nora: "Lynette, I want my daughter. Where's the damn party?"



Lynette: "No, I'm not telling."



Nora: "Where's the party?"



Lynette shakes her head "no." Just then Nora sees a red balloon floating out of Gabrielle's back yard. They both take off running. Lynette passes Nora and blocks Gabrielle's gate.



Lynette: "No, no, no!. You want in you're, going to have to go through me."



Nora: "I want my kid, Lynette." (screaming) "KAYLA! KAYLA COME OUT HERE NOW!"



Tom comes out.



Tom: "What is going on?"



Nora: "Well, first you have a party and you don't invite me. And then you lie about it. So now, we're leaving."



Kayla comes out. Tom holds her back.



Tom: "Wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on Kayla. I'm sorry. We're sorry. We shouldn't have done that."



Lynette turns and looks at Tom, disgusted.



Tom: "But look, Kayla is having such a good time. Why don't we all just come on in and have some cake and we can just..."



Lynette turns and begins to walk away.



Tom: "Lynette, Lynette. We can just have fun. Could you excuse me for one second?"



Tom runs after Lynette.



Tom: "Lynette, Lynette. Okay, okay, I know, but what else could I do? I'm just thinking of Kayla."



Lynette: "I know you are, Tom, and I know you love her. Why else do you think I'm willing to put up with all this for six months? Why do you think I'm willing to say to my college roommates, 'Yes, that's my husband's love child and her mother in our Christmas picture.'? Because I am your wife! You always come first with me. Do I still come first with you?"



Tom turns and marches back to Nora and Kayla.



Tom: "I guess I'll see you later, Nora."



Nora: "Well, I'm taking Kayla."



Tom: "Well, that's a shame. I've gotta go hoist a piñata!"



Kayla: "Oh, Mommy, they have a piñata!"



Nora: "Fine! I'll be back at seven. But there had better be a corner piece of cake waiting for me."



Nora leaves.



Tom: "Come on, Kayla, go have some fun."



Kayla runs back into the backyard.



Lynette: "Thank you for that."



Tom: "Sure. I'll be back in twenty minutes."



Lynette: "Gonna go buy a piñata?"



Tom: "Sure am."



Gabrielle's Bedroom



Gabrielle enters the empty bedroom carrying a tray with food on it.



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei? Come on out, I have your lunch." (she turns on the TV) "Xiao-Mei, your favorite soap is on. There's a doctor fondling a patient on the operating table. You're missing it! Xiao-Mei? Xiao-Mei?"



Gabrielle runs to the closet. She opens it and it's completely empty.



Villa Foster Apartment Complex



Carlos is carrying in boxes from his car. Gabrielle drives up.



Gabrielle: "Hey! Quick question. Have you by any chance seen Xiao-Mei?"



Chinatown



Carlos and Gabrielle are walking through the busy marketplace.



Carlos: "I can't believe you lost our baby!"



Gabrielle: "I did not lose our baby. Stop saying that! I know exactly where it is. Inside some crazy Chinese woman. Who also stole half a chicken from my fridge!"



Chinese Restaurant



Gabrielle and Carlos walk in. Gabrielle approaches the owner. Li Wang is carrying a plate of Moo Sho Pork.



Gabrielle: "Hi, hi, Li Wang, right? Remember me. Xiao-Mei lives with me. You came over, we had lunch."



Li: "You got some nerve showing your face here! Get out!"



Gabrielle: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, what happened to that famous Chinese hospitality?"



Li: "Xiao-Mei called me. She said you threatened to send her back to China to work as a slave in a rice patty!"



Gabrielle: "I may have mentioned deportation, but I didn't think she'd take it personally."



Carlos: "Are you crazy?"



Gabrielle: "It was banter! I mean, has this country come to the point where you can't joke with the help?"



Gabrielle taps Li's arm lightly with her purse.



Li: "You treat Xiao-Mei like dirt! She's just a poor innocent girl trying to live the American dream, just like your ancestors!"



Gabrielle: "Oh, don't give me that 'we are the world' crap! That woman's uterus is harboring a stolen baby. So if you know where she is you'd better start taking, or else I'm gonna get the Health Department down her and get a closer look at what you're serving as Moo Shu Pork!"



Outside the Restaurant



Carlos and Gabrielle walk out. The front of Gabrielle's shirt is covered with Moo Sho Pork. Gabrielle walks as though nothing happened. Carlos is smirking.



Gabrielle: "Boy, those people just don't have a sense of humor, do they?"



Paul Young's House



Edie is showing the house to two young men.



Edie: "I'm telling you at this number, it's not going to last long."



Young Man #1: "Well, we like the neighborhood but we've heard that some odd things have gone on with this house."



Edie: "Complete fabrications. Malicious lies fed by jealous competitors. Now you've got to check out this storage. You're not gonna believe what you can fit in here."



Edie opens the downstairs closet. Xiao-Mei is sitting in the closet with a plate of food. She makes the shushing motion to Edie, who quickly closes the door.



Edie: "And now the media room."



Bree's Kitchen



Bree is carrying in two bowls. Orson is right behind her.



Bree: "Wow, we certainly devoured that ice cream. Can I get you anything else?"



Orson puts his arms around Bree from behind and begins kissing her neck.



Orson: "You tell me."



Bree: "Hm. Orson."



Orson: "Hm."



Bree turns and he kisses her. He begins untying her blouse.



Bree: "Ummm. Ummm. I thought we...Orson?"



Orson: "Hm? I just assumed now that we're engaged."



Bree: "Does that change our core values?"



Orson: "No. But when I saw you standing in front of the freezer in a clingy silk dress, let's just say, well, you challenged me."



Bree: "Well, I thought we agreed we wanted our wedding night to be perfect."



Orson: "Yes. Actors want opening night to be perfect. That's why they rehearse."



Bree: "It'll be better this way. Now, can I get you some more ice cream?"



Orson: "Not in that dress."



Fairview Memorial Hospital



Susan enters Mike's room. She lies down on the bed next to Mike.



Susan: "Hi. So I need to ask you something. Ian, you know, from across the hall. You met him. Anyway, he sort of asked me out on a date. I know you're thrown. I was thrown too. But he's really nice and I could sort of use someone to talk to who also talks back. The thing is, I'm sort of lonely. The past six months have been really hard on me. So what I need is I need to know if it's okay with you if I go out with him. Because if it's not, I won't. In fact, I'd like nothing better than for you to just wake up right now and tell me not to go out with him. Just wake up and tell me! Wake up! Please!"



Susan puts her head on Mike's chest.



Susan: "Oh. All right. I'll see you tomorrow."



She leans over and kisses him.



Susan: "I love you. It is really just dinner."



Carlos' Apartment Building



Gabrielle, on the phone, is parked at the curb.



Gabrielle: "I'm just dropping off Carlos now and I'll be by to pick her up. Okay, thanks Edie." (hangs up) "Xiao-Mei's fine. Crisis averted, no harm, no foul."



Carlos: "How can you say that? You endangered the life of our baby today."



Gabrielle: "Don't you dare give me that attitude. You have no idea what I've been going through this past six months."



Carlos: "Ah, here we go."



Gabrielle: "I have had to wait hand and foot on your mistress. I mean imagine if the day after you found out about John Rowland, you had to make his lunch and rub his feet!"



Carlos: "Well, John Rowland wasn't carrying our kid! Forgive me for being concerned about our surrogate."



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei is going to be fine! Once that baby comes her slate is wiped clean. She's going to walk away, go off and live her American dream! Me? I'm gonna be stuck! A single mother raising a child alone. Haggling with lawyers on who gets the kid at Christmas. My American dream is officially dead."



Carlos: "I'm sorry."



Gabrielle: "Thank you."



Carlos: "Just so you know, my dream isn't..."



Gabrielle speeds away, tires screeching.



Bree's Kitchen



Orson is at the sink wearing gloves scrubbing out wine glasses. Bree enters talking on the phone.



Bree: "Okay, so we will see you Saturday and please pretend to be surprised. Bye."



Bree hangs up.



Orson: "Told someone else? Bree, I thought the whole point of the party was to announce our engagement."



Bree: "I just can't help it. I like telling people. Makes me feel, I don't know. It makes me feel like I'm starting over. It feels good."



Orson: "Feels good to me too."



He turns to kiss her. He puts his gloved hand behind his back.



Orson: "Ahh. No hands, see?"



They kiss. Bree looks as the glasses Orson is washing.



Bree: "You don't have to wash those. I already did them."



Orson: "Oh, I found some streaks. So, I'm wiping them down with undiluted red wine vinegar."



Bree: "I've never heard of that."



Orson: "Oh, sure. And for tougher spots I use a fifty-fifty mix of denatured alcohol and water. And for those really intractable stains, I mean, we're talking shower doors, I wipe on laquer thinner with a towel."



Bree is breathing heavily and staring at Orson.



Orson: "Bree?"



Bree grabs Orson and kisses him passionately. She drags him into the bedroom. The kitchen faucet is still on.



Bree's Bedroom



Bree and Orson are on the bed kissing. They begin undressing. Orson starts kissing Bree while moving lower and lower down her body.



Bree: "Uh, excuse me."



Orson: "Hmm?"



Bree: "Did you lose something?"



Orson: "No, I just thought, for you."



Bree: "Oh! Um. I don't do that."



Orson: "Why not?"



Bree: "I'm a Republican!"



Orson: "I'm a Libertarian. I believe in minimizing the role of the State and maximizing individual rights."



Bree: "But Orson!"



Orson: "Trust me. I know what I'm doing."



Bree: "Okay."



Orson goes back down.



Bree's Kitchen Sink



The faucet is pouring into a cup. The cup overflows into a bowl. The bowl overflows into a dish. The dish overflows into the sink. The sink fills up and the water overflows onto the floor.



Bree's Bedroom



Bree sits up quickly and gasps.



Bree: "Ah. Oh, no!"



Orson: "What? You didn't just crack that veneer again, did you?"



Bree: "I have to go."



Orson: "Go? Go where?"



Doctor's Office



A female doctor is examining Bree.



Bree: "And then it was like something inside ruptured. Well, not so much a rupture as a spasm. Waves of this hot, clutching. I might have had a small stroke!"



Doctor: "How severe were the pains?"



Bree: "Well, that's the odd thing. I mean there was no pain, per se, in fact, it wasn't entirely unpleasant."



Doctor: "What were you doing at the time?"



Bree: "I was, ah, with my fiancé. We were lying down, resting."



Doctor: "I'm gonna take a wild swing here. Were you having sex?"



Bree: "Sort of."



Doctor: "Ms. Van de Kamp, I think you may have had an orgasm."



Bree: "No, no, no. I've had orgasms before."



Doctor: "Hm. How would you describe them?"



Bree: "Oh you know, that warm sensation, that tingling feeling of relief when it's over. No, no, this was much..."



Doctor: "Better?"



Bree: "Yes,"



Doctor: "That's 'cause it was an orgasm."



Bree: "Oh. Well, I'll be darned."



Wisteria Lane - Nighttime - Rainy



A woman holding an umbrella over her head is walking toward Bree's house.



Bree's Living Room



Guests are there for Bree and Orson's party. Gabrielle hands someone a drink.



Gabrielle: "Here you go."



Julie is looking at Bree's engagement ring.



Julie: "It's beautiful."



Mrs. McCluskey: "Oh, my goodness."



The doorbell rings. Bree goes to answer the door. Carolyn Bixby is standing there.



Bree: "Hi, can I help you?"



Carolyn: "Are you Bree Van de Kamp?"



Bree: "Yes, and you are?"



Carolyn: "Carolyn Bixby. I was Orson's neighbor."



Bree: "Oh, well, come on in. Let's dry you off and get you a drink."



Carolyn follows Bree into the living room.



Carolyn: "I didn't come here to celebrate."



Orson: "Carolyn."



Carolyn: "Engaged again? That was quick work. Does she know you killed your wife?"



Orson: "My wife left me."



Carolyn: "And no one ever heard from her again. Not me, not her family. Just dropped off the face of the Earth."



Bree: "Orson, what is she talking about?"



Carolyn: "Didn't tell you that part, did he?"



Orson: "All right Carolyn. You've made your little speech."



Carolyn: "You keep your hands off me. Don't let him fool you. Get away from him now while you can."



Bree goes to the front door.



Bree: "Please leave my house."



Carolyn: "Fine. Be a fool. Marry him. Just don't be surprised when you go missing, too."



Carolyn leaves. Bree closes the door and walks into the kitchen as the shocked guests watch. Orson follows her into the kitchen.



Orson: "I'm sorry you had to endure that."



Bree: "Your wife disappeared?"



Orson: "I tried to find her. Her family claimed not to have heard from her. Personally, I think she was just trying to punish me."



Bree: "So, are you still married?"



Orson: "No. I was granted a divorce on grounds of abandonment." (he takes Bree's hand in his) "Bree, you can't possibly think that..."



Bree: "No, of course not. I love you."



Orson: "And I love you."



Bree: "Orson, my hand."



He lets go and Bree walks away. Susan, Lynette, and Gabrielle are talking quietly to each other in the living room as Bree walks in.



Bree: "The buffet is open."



Susan: "Bree?"



Bree holds up her hand, stopping Susan. The guests walk up to the table.



Later, the platters on the table are empty and the guests are gone. Bree walks out of the kitchen with a full trash bag.



Bree's Front Yard



She walks outside into the rain to the trashcans on the curb.



"Every storm brings with it hope that somehow by morning, everything will be made clean again. And even the most troubling stains will have disappeared."



Bree stands in the rain by the trashcans. Orson comes out and stares at her.



"Like the doubts over his innocence..."



Lynette's Front Porch



Lynette runs up and goes in the door. She sees Kayla and Tom playing in the living room.



"...or the consequence of his mistake..."



Gabrielle's House



Gabrielle walks in the front door. Xiao-Mei is sitting at the table, eating.



"...like the scars of his betrayal..."



Susan's House



Susan walks in. She sits next to a picture of Mike and her in happy times.



"...or the memory of his kiss."



Bree's House



Bree is still standing in the rain. Orson walks back into the house.



"So we wait for the storm to pass hoping for the best..."



Fairview Country Club Construction Site



The pouring rain is causing the mud to run.



"...even though we know in our hearts some stains are so indelible, nothing can wash them away."



In the mud, a lifeless hand is slightly uncovered.
