Gabrielle: "What, is this a test of our friendship?"



Lynette: "Yeah. Kinda. Can I pencil you in?"



Gabrielle: "I can't wait."



SUSAN'S KITCHEN



Julie is studying as Susan sneaks in.



Susan: "Pssst. (whispering) Come here. "



Julie doesn't follow.



Susan: "Okay, I'll come there. Are you still mad at me about the party?"



Julie: "Oh you picked up on that, did you?"



Susan: "Okay, look. I've been thinking about things and just forget what I said earlier."



Julie: "You mean I can go?"



Susan: "Shhh. Geezz, oh. Mike's in the other room."



Julie: "You're not gonna tell him?



Susan: "No! And neither are you!"



Julie: "Ah. Why are you walking on eggshells? You are my Mother. You have every right to override him."



Susan: "I know. I just think it's sweet that he worries about you and I want him to feel that he's part of the decision making process."



Julie: "Oh, well clearly he's not if you're going behind his back."



Susan: "Do you want to go or not?"



Julie: "Yes! I really want to go to the party."



Mike walks in.



Mike: "Party? You guys still talking about that?"



Susan: "Ah. Can you believe it? Oh. (to Julie) Let it go! You know Mike and I decided. No Party and that's final."



Mike and Susan walk out the door. Susan turns and gives a "thumbs up" to Julie and mouths "have fun."



KATHERINE'S FRONT PORCH



Bree knocks on the door.



Katherine: "Bree."



Bree: "I hope this isn't a bad time. I just wanted to bring you a housewarming gift. It's my recipe for my special minced meat pie. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving at my house without it."



Katherine: "Well, very thoughtful."



KATHERINE'S KITCHEN



Katherine opens her recipe box.



Katherine: "I'll just file this in my recipe box."



Bree: "Well as long as we're swapping pie recipes I would love the one for your fabulous Lemon Meringue."



Katherine: "Really? So flattered you'd ask. But I don't share that!"



Katherine slams the recipe lid down and put the box in her cupboard.



Bree: "Excuse me?"



Katherine: "I experimented for years before I came up with my secret ingredient."



Bree: "Which is what? Vanilla? Nutmeg? Cardemen?"



Katherine: "If I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore. It would just be an ingredient."



Bree: "Well that hardly seems neighborly after all I just gave you the recipe for my Minced Meat pie."



Katherine: "Yes, it's a very good one. I have the book it came from."



Bree: "The recipe's not from a book. That recipe was handed down to me from my mother."



Katherine: "Well unless your mother was Betty Crocker she got it from a book. Oh dear, now I've upset you."



Bree: "No, no, I'm not upset. I'm just confused as to why you seem so determined to get off on the wrong foot. First you bring a pie to Lynette's when I clearly assigned you the salad."



Katherine: "Now see, that's where I'm confused. Just what, please, gives you the right to decide who brings what to a luncheon that I suggested."



Bree: "Well, it's tradition! I always organize our little get togethers and I always bring dessert."



Katherine: "Well then how lovely that I'm back to shoulder that burden for you."



Bree: "Just give me the recipe!"



Katherine: "Sorry, I can't. I do hope this doesn't keep up from being friends because I like you, Bree."



Katherine opens her front door. Bree walks out the door.



Katherine: "And I'm sure that if you put your mind to it, you can come up with an even better Lemon Meringue pie than mine. The trick is finding that perfect blend of sweet and sour."



Bree: "Well, you've certainly mastered that, dear."



Katherine closes the door on Bree.



SUSAN AND MIKE'S BEDROOM



Mike is lying in bed eating strawberries.



Mike: "So when do I get to see my big surprise."



Susan comes out in very sexy underwear.



Susan: "Wait for it. Ta Da!"



Mike: "Whoa! All that syrup went straight to your boobs!"



Susan: "So it's not my imagination, they're bigger right?"



Mike: "Ah, yeah. Especially the right one."



Susan: "Mike!"



Mike: "Just kidding. Put those up and bring them over here."



Susan: "Well, I'd better warn you I might have to work the shoulders."



Susan walks over sexily. They begin kissing.



Mike: "Hey, that thing with Julie and the party this morning. Thanks for backing me up. It meant a lot. I know it wasn't easy for you."



Susan: "Ah, yeah, well, sometimes you gotta hang tough."



Mike: "Well, you did the right thing. I drove by that house tonight. That party was out of control."



Susan: "What?"



Mike: "Yeah, there were kids staggering around drunk. Puking in the gutter. I saw some girls running around topless. I'm sure the cops will be there any minute."



Susan: "Ahhh. We need whipped cream."



Mike: "What?"



Susan: "Well I don't think you can have sexy date night without whipped cream. Can't and won't."



Mike: "Well, I can go get some."



Susan: "No, No, you've worked all day. You stay here."



Susan grabs some clothes from the closet.



Mike: "Gonna eat more syrup?"



EDIE'S HOUSE



Carlos puts a birthday cake with one lit candle on it on the table.



Carlos: "Make a wish."



Edie blows out the candle and Carlos claps.



Carlos: "So I let me see what I got you. How thoughtful was I?"



Edie: "Very."



She hands Carlos and envelope. Carlos opens a card that says "Yes."



Carlos: "Yes!"



Edie: "No yet, I haven't asked the question."



Edie gets down on one knee.



Edie: "Will you marry me, Carlos Solis? And you say?"



Carlos: "You're proposing?"



Edie: "You said you didn't want to spend too much. So what's more affordable than a promise?"



Carlos: "Look, Edie."



Edie: "I'm doing this for you. If the IRS gets wind of your rainy day fund they could make me testify against you. But if I were your wife."



Carlos: "How are they going to find out?"



Edie: "Honey, people talk. Angry people. Disappointed people. Come on say your line. It's my birthday."



Carlos: "Fine. We're engaged."



Edie: "Oh Carlos. I think I'm gonna cry."



Carlos: "Yeah, me too."



MATT'S HOUSE - PARTY



Julie and Dylan are talking.



Dylan: "So how weird it that. My Mom always told me that my Dad took off right after I was born."



Julie: "So did she explain what McCluskey said?"



Dylan: "I didn't tell her. She kinda freaks out every time I bring him up."



Julie: "Dylan, you have a right to know about your Dad. You've got to confront her."



Dylan: "Yeah right. I could never do that. She isn't cool like your Mom."



MATT'S FRONT DOOR



Matt opens the door to find Susan scantily dressed.



Matt: "Hi, it's my birthday."



Susan: "That must mean you're Matt. I'm Susan Meyer and I…"



Matt grabs Susan's hand and pulls her in. He drags her to the back room where a bunch of young boys are.



Matt: "Boomer, you actually did it!"



Boomer: "It wasn't me but happy birthday, Man!"



Matt: "It was somebody but who cares! Gather around men,"



The guys set up the chairs facing Susan.



Matt: "You like this music>"



Susan: "Yeah, it's fine. Would somebody just tell me where I can find….."



Boomer: "Enough talking, take it off! We're feeling generous tonight.



Boomer tires to puts a dollar in Susan's bra.



Susan: "Oh my God! I'm not a stripper!"



Matt: "You're not?"



Boomer: "Is this going to happen or what?"



Matt: "Boomer, she's not a stripper."



Boomer: "Well what's with the implants?"



Susan: "I'm pregnant!"



Guy # 3: "That's hot!"



Matt is leading Susan out of the room.



Matt: "Sorry, I should have known you were Julie's Mom. You're way to gorgeous to be a stripper."



Susan: "If that's your lame attempt to keep me from calling the your parents, it worked. Well played."



Susan sees Julie across the room. She starts going across the room and trips.



Julie: "Mom, what are you doing here?"



Susan: "I'm taking you home. This party is out of control."



Julie: "No it's not."



Susan: "Well of course you don't think it is. Because you are knocking back a big cup of (Susan drinks from Julie's cup) orange soda."



Julie: "I don't believe this."



Susan: "Believe it, we're going. You too Dylan, come on."



Julie: "And what are you wearing? You're embarrassing me."



Susan: "Yeah, well, Boomer likes it."



SUSAN'S DRIVEWAY - NIGHT



Susan, Julie and Dylan arrive home.



Julie: "Cal me tomorrow. We'll go to a movie my Mom can drag us out of."



Susan: "Look, I get that you're upset."



Julie: "No, I'm confused. First I can go to the party, then I can't cause Mike says no, then I can, but don't tell Mike and behave yourself. So I behave myself and you punish me."



Susan: "Okay, I admit that there's a certain lack of consistency."



Julie: "It's like ever since you got married I can't win."



Susan: "Do you think this is easy for me? Trying to keep peace between a new husband and a teenage daughter. You're always putting me in the middle."



Julie: "I don't do that."



Susan: "Please. Every time you and Mike disagree on something you give me the look. That pitiful face that says if I don't back you up I love the other one more."



Julie: "I don't expect you to side with me every time. Just make a decision and stick to it. And no more lying."



Susan: "Well, you're right. I'm an adult and I need to be honest about these things and I will be starting tomorrow."



They walk in the front door. Mike is sitting on the steps reading a paper.



Susan: "Look who I picked up coming out of the movies. A PG movie. Is this the perfect teenager or what?"



Mike: "Movies, huh? That's funny. One of Julie's friends just called to make sure she got home from the party. She was worried when she saw you leaving with a stripper."



Julie: "The jig is up, Mom."



Susan: (whispering) "No, no, we can salvage this. Just work with me."



Julie: "I did go to the party. Mom went behind your back and told me I could. But I didn't drink or do anything I shouldn't do."



Mike: "Glad to hear it. And thanks for your honesty."



They both stare at Susan.



Susan: "You know this perfect teenager thing is really starting to chap my ass!"



Julie: "I'm going to bed."



Susan: "Please tell me this isn't going to be more of those things where you leave me and I go screaming down the street."



Mike: "Why'd you go behind my back?"



Susan: "I'm sorry. You gotta understand for so long it's just been Julie and me and I've made all the decisions alone. You felt so strongly."



Mike: "It was just an opinion. Really. She's your daughter. I completely respect your right to raise her however you want."



Susan: "Thanks."



Mike: "Now that being said, this baby is ours so we get to make all those parenting decisions together. Right?"



Susan: "Right. So can we get back to date night?"



Mike: "Only if you work the shoulders."



FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL



Chemotherapy room. Lynette is receiving her chemo. Gaby walks in.



Lynette: "Gaby, where have you been? You went to the bathroom about half hour ago."



Gabrielle: "Oh sorry, I stopped off to get you some magazines."



Lynette: " 'Top Ten New Hairstyles.' Yeah well I'm kinda bald right now but thanks."



Gabrielle: "Oh well why don't I just go get some other ones."



Lynette: "No, no, no. I don't need magazines. I need company. Sit down. You've been bouncing around since you got here. So how do you like being the first lady of Fairview?"



Gabrielle: "It's good. You cold? They keep it cold in here."



Lynette: "I'm fine. So tell me something when you go to ribbon cutting do you get to keep those giganticnoveltyscissors?"



Gabrielle: "You must be freezing. You know I have the cutest shawl in the car so I'm just gonna run out and get it for you."



Lynette: "Boy, you really don't want to be here, do ya?"



Gabrielle: "What are you talking about? I'm trying to help."



Lynette: "Yeah, in any way that gets you out of this room."



Gabrielle: "I'm sorry. Hospitals are hard for me."



Lynette: "Yeah, you told me but geez Gaby don't you care enough to make an effort?"



Gabrielle: "You think I don't care?"



Lynette: "I get it. You're uncomfortable. Just go. I'm fine. I'm fine."



Gabrielle starts to leave then stops.



Gabrielle: "Did I ever tell you about my Father? He had Cancer too. It started in the Liver and into his bones. Ten months later he was dead."



Lynette: "Thanks for that encouraging story."



Gabrielle: "I'm not finished. Those last weeks every day we thought we would lose him and everyday before I would go into his room, my Mom would say, 'no tears. Daddy wants to see you smiling. If you're gonna cry, you can't go in.' So the last night. I sat there and I watched him die. His eyes were closed but I thought he could still see me so I kept smiling. All night. I was five."



Lynette: "Oh my god."



Gabrielle: "But on the plus side, I made a pretty good career out of knowing how to smile when I didn't really feel like it. But I can't pretend with you. Not when I'm scared I'm gonna lose you."



Lynette: "You're not gonna lose me."



Gabrielle: (crying) "You promise? If I did…. God., I'm such a mess…"



Lynette: "It's okay. Come here. Let it go."



Lynette comforts Gabrielle.



KATHERINE'S HOUSE



Dylan finds her baby book. She takes it up to her room. She looks through and see pictures of her and Julie when they were young. She finds a picture of when she was a baby. Her mother is holding her and on her other side is a figure that has been cut out.



Katherine: "Honey."



Dylan hides the book. Katherine comes in.



Katherine: "I'm going out. I'll be right back."



Dylan: "Mom. Can I talk to you about something?"



Katherine: "Sure. If you don't mind talking in the car."



BREE'S KITCHEN



Bree is working in her kitchen.



"Bree Hodge persisted in her effort to unlock the secret of Katherine Mayfair's Lemon Meringue. But after several failed attempts it occurred to Bree that while she may not have the key to Katherine's recipe…"



Bree opens her cupboard. Many labeled keys are hanging.



"She did have the key to Katherine's house."



BREE'S FRONT YARD



Bree is watering and waves to Katherine and Dylan as they drive away. Bree turns off the hose and runs to Katherine's house with the key.



KATHERINE'S HOUSE



Bree sneaks inside. She opens the cabinet with the recipe box and sees it is locked.



MIKE'S HOUSE



Bree knocks on the door.



Mike: "Hey, what's up?"



Bree: "I'm doing a little baking and was wondering if I could borrow something."



Mike: "Sure, what do you need? Flour, sugar?"



Bree is walking away with steel cutters. She enters Katherine's house and pulls the recipe box out of the cupboard.



KATHERINE'S DRIVEWAY



Katherine, Dylan and Adam come home



Katherine: "You can't believe what Karen McCluskey tells you. She's an old woman. Practically senile."



Dylan: "She did sound senile to me."



Adam: "Dylan, maybe this is not the time, okay?"



Dylan: "You said my father didn't care about me. But she says he came here and wanted to see me. Why would you not tell me that?"



They enter the house. Bree is just about to cut the lock.



Dylan: "He's my father I deserve to know."



Katherine: "The only thing you need to know about that man is that he's a monster."



Dylan: "I'll decide that for myself. Where is he?"



Katherine: "I don't know."



Dylan: "You're lying."



Adam: "No she's not."



Dylan: "Yes, she is. She's been lying to me my whole life. I'm starting to think that you're the monster."



Katherine slaps Dylan. Bree is listening to everything. Dylan runs upstairs.



Katherine: "She can't talk to me that way. Not after everything I've done for her."



Adam: "Well maybe that's the problem. She doesn't know what you've done for her."



Katherine: "Nobody does. And it's going to stay that way."



Adam: "Are you sure. She's just going to keep asking questions."



Katherine: "Then we'd better start coming up with better lies."



Bree sneaks out of Katherine's house and goes home.



Orson: "I was wondering where you'd gone to. "



Bree: "I just let myself into Katherine house to get that recipe."



Orson: "Well that seems a little extreme. Well at least you know her secret now."



Bree: "Yes, and it has nothing to do with pie."



DARK BAR



Carlos: "Here's the thing. I got a real chance of getting back with my ex but this woman is standing in my way. She knows about the money and she's made it clear that if I leave she's gonna blow the whistle. You gotta understand I really did care for Edie but I can't let her ruin my life".



Carlos pushes an envelope full of money across the table.



Carlos: "That's where you come in."



A hand pulls the envelope. A man sees a lot of money in the envelope and looks at Carlos.



FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL



Chemotherapy Room. Lynette, Susan, Bree, Gabrielle and Katherine are sitting around. The room is filled with balloons.



Katherine: "Guys we better behave or the nurses are going to kick us out."



Bree: "It's our Chemo party and we'll laugh if we want to."



Lynette: "Gaby this was a wonderful idea and I cannot tell you how much it means to me."



Gabrielle: "Oh don't get sappy on me. I won't stand for it. All right Susan, is the camera ready?"



Susan: "Yeah. Got it."



They all get ready to have their picture taken.



Susan: "Okay once the light starts blinking we've got ten seconds so everybody say cheese and hold it. One, two, three."



The Ladies: "Cheese."



"There is nothing more deceptive than a smile. And no one knows this better than the people who hide behind them."



Camera on Katherine.



"Some flash their teeth as a polite warning to their enemies."



Camera on Gabrielle.



"Some put on put on beaming faces to keep their tears from falling."



Camera on Lynette. Lynette makes a funny face.



"Others wear silly grins to mask their fear."



The camera clicks.



DARK BAR



Carlos smiles.



"But then, there is that rare smile that is actually genuine."



Man across the table from Carlos looks at the money in the envelope.



Man: "I'll take care of it."



Carlos smiles.



"It's the smile of a person who knows his troubles will soon be over."
