00:00:00Previously on Desperate Housewives, Porter's Affair...
00:00:04Your son helps me, and I love him.
00:00:07...escalated into violence.
00:00:10Hey, Warren.
00:00:11Yeah?
00:00:12I don't care what it takes. You're dead.
00:00:14But the full extent of Dave's rage was realized...
00:00:19Fire!
00:00:20...during the Battle of the Bands.
00:00:26Fire!
00:00:26And out of the tragedy came a hero.
00:00:33Hang in there. I'm not done with you yet.
00:00:41Something awful happened to Gabrielle Solis.
00:00:47And she was reminded of this every time she looked in a mirror.
00:00:53Every time she glanced in an old photo.
00:00:56And every time she walked past a man.
00:01:04Yes.
00:01:05Gabrielle knew she had lost her looks.
00:01:08I'm glad to hear from you.
00:01:10But she tried her best to look on the bright side.
00:01:15After all, what woman needs to be beautiful...
00:01:18...when her husband is blind.
00:01:24Hi, sweetie. How's our patient?
00:01:26Well, he took a pretty nasty fall in a fire last night.
00:01:30But, uh, the CT scan shows no bleeding or swelling.
00:01:33That's it? No concussion?
00:01:34Actually, there is something.
00:01:36Please tell me it's not my hearing. I'm already down to four senses.
00:01:39The scan revealed a tiny bone fragment...
00:01:42...that may be putting pressure on the optic nerves.
00:01:45And what? You're afraid it's going to impair his vision?
00:01:47I'm sorry, you were saying?
00:01:54The bone fragment might be a remnant from your injury five years ago.
00:01:57Due to its small size, the original scan might have missed it.
00:02:02Five years? Can we just leave it?
00:02:04Actually, there is a chance if we remove that bone fragment, you could regain your sight.
00:02:09Are you serious?
00:02:10That's fantastic!
00:02:11I'm not promising a slam dunk here. I'm just saying it's possible.
00:02:15Doc, two days ago, I spread moisturizer on a cracker. I'd kill for possible.
00:02:19I've spoken with Ted Daniels. He's the best eye surgeon in the state.
00:02:22He says he could fit you in for surgery in about a month.
00:02:25Oh, my God.
00:02:27If this works, I'll finally be able to see my little girls and my gorgeous wife.
00:02:32This is unbelievable!
00:02:34Thank you. Doctor, thank you very much.
00:02:36Yes, Gabrielle Solis knew she had lost her beauty.
00:02:42She also knew the time had come to get it back.
00:02:56There was a fire in the town of Fairview,
00:02:59and those who had been injured came to recover at Fairview Memorial Hospital.
00:03:05By morning, their burns had been bandaged,
00:03:09their broken bones had been set,
00:03:12and their wounds had begun healing.
00:03:17Yes, everyone was well on their way to recovery,
00:03:21except for the man who had started the fire.
00:03:25You see, his suffering was just beginning.
00:03:29Sorry.
00:03:31Sorry.
00:03:32That's all right.
00:03:33Are you Dave Williams?
00:03:33Yeah.
00:03:34I'm Detective Collins, Detective Lyons.
00:03:36Do you have a moment?
00:03:39Why?
00:03:40We wanted to talk to you about the fire at the White Horse Bar.
00:03:43We've been interviewing everyone who was there last night.
00:03:49We were told by an Orson Hodge that you were on stage with the band when the fire broke out.
00:03:54Yeah.
00:03:55We had just started when suddenly the curtains went up.
00:04:01Everything happened really fast after that.
00:04:03That's okay.
00:04:04We know how hard this has got to be.
00:04:06So, have they figured out how the fire started?
00:04:10We know it was arson.
00:04:12Really?
00:04:13It's looking like the point of origin was a storage room off the back hallway.
00:04:16And there was a body in there, too.
00:04:18And you think that's the person who started the fire?
00:04:21No, we don't think so.
00:04:22But this guy was pretty badly burned, so it'll take us a while to identify him.
00:04:26Anyway, if you remember anything you think we should know,
00:04:30give a call at that number there.
00:04:31All right?
00:04:31Dave Williams.
00:04:37Aren't you the one who went back in and saved that Delfino guy?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:41You're an honest-to-God hero.
00:04:43You should be real proud of yourself.
00:04:50If you say so.
00:04:51I would have come sooner, but I burnt the first batch,
00:05:00and I wasn't sure you'd appreciate the irony.
00:05:03I'm so hungry, I wouldn't have noticed.
00:05:06Hey, can I get a kiss with my cookie?
00:05:08Mike?
00:05:10What if someone sees us?
00:05:11What if they do?
00:05:12Well, you haven't told Susan we're dating yet.
00:05:17I'm waiting for the right time.
00:05:21Her friendship's very important to me, and I want to ease her into this.
00:05:26Okay.
00:05:27I get it.
00:05:29See ya.
00:05:31Just walk out slowly.
00:05:33Give me something to live for.
00:05:34Susan.
00:05:42Hi.
00:05:42Hi.
00:05:43How's Jackson?
00:05:44Oh, he's fine.
00:05:45Just getting some stitches, and how's...
00:05:48Wait, who are you here to see?
00:05:50You know...
00:05:52Everybody.
00:05:54So many people in the neighborhood were hurt in the fire.
00:05:56I just thought it would be nice to bring them gifts.
00:05:59Oh, crap.
00:06:00I didn't get anyone gifts.
00:06:01But I did get blood, so I'll just remind everybody that I did that.
00:06:09How are you feeling?
00:06:11I just get blood.
00:06:13I'm fine.
00:06:14Just a little smoke inhalation.
00:06:16How's Jackson doing?
00:06:18Oh, fine.
00:06:19He just needs some stitches.
00:06:20Ooh, those cookies look delicious.
00:06:22Where'd you get them?
00:06:25Um, a friend.
00:06:27Have one.
00:06:28Oh, I shouldn't.
00:06:30They're yours.
00:06:31You know you're on to.
00:06:34Well, I did just get blood.
00:06:37Oh.
00:06:40Attractive.
00:06:41Mmm, I hate macadamia nuts.
00:06:43You'd think they're white chocolate chips until it's too late.
00:06:45Stupid Hawaii.
00:06:47Who made them?
00:06:49Um, like I said, friend.
00:06:51Mm.
00:06:52But what friend?
00:06:57Wait.
00:06:58Is this a woman friend?
00:07:00Um, don't you want to throw that macadamia that away?
00:07:02When I'm done, don't change the subject.
00:07:04Are you seeing someone?
00:07:07What do you care?
00:07:09I care because you mean a lot to me, and it makes me feel good knowing that two people have found love and happiness.
00:07:14So what's her name?
00:07:15Who am I happy for?
00:07:16Susan, I'm not telling you.
00:07:18Why not?
00:07:19Because she wants to tell you herself.
00:07:24So, I know her?
00:07:27Oh, I think my meds just kicked out.
00:07:29I don't know what I'm saying.
00:07:31You're dating a friend of mine?
00:07:33Don't be angry.
00:07:34I'm not.
00:07:35But now you have to tell me who she is.
00:07:40Fine.
00:07:43Have it your way.
00:07:44Oh, if he ever needs a transfusion, you are not allowed to give him my blood.
00:07:52Hello, Dr. Kaminas.
00:07:53How's my husband doing?
00:07:55Well, the x-rays indicate there was no concussion, so I think we're going to release him today.
00:07:58Wonderful.
00:07:59And the house is too quiet without him.
00:08:00You'll have to wait to talk to him.
00:08:07He's been in a lot of pain, so we gave him something to help him sleep.
00:08:10Oh, that's a red.
00:08:11I can wait.
00:08:13Looks so peaceful.
00:08:16Goodness, I'm sure if Orson were awake, he'd apologize for that.
00:08:22Has he always snored?
00:08:24Occasionally, but never quite this...
00:08:29Robustly.
00:08:29Well, the injury to his septum might have made it worse, but it can be corrected with
00:08:33a simple surgical procedure.
00:08:37Well, if it's so simple, what are we waiting for?
00:08:40It'll take a few weeks to schedule.
00:08:43So, as soon as he wakes up, you can take him home.
00:08:50Well, at least the house won't be quiet anymore.
00:08:52Hey, I ran into Catherine.
00:09:04She said you wanted to see me about something.
00:09:07Right.
00:09:08What was it?
00:09:09Oh, yeah.
00:09:10Thanks for saving my life.
00:09:12Yeah, well...
00:09:13We all did what we had to do, right?
00:09:17And you went back in for Jackson.
00:09:18Yeah, but I ended up passed down on the floor, which technically makes me an idiot.
00:09:23And you a hero.
00:09:24If people keep saying that, I don't feel like one.
00:09:28Well, I would have been dead without you.
00:09:30So, how about free plumbing for the rest of your life?
00:09:35That sounds fair.
00:09:40Seriously, you've got to let me do something to thank you.
00:09:48Well, ever since my brother died, I haven't had a really good friend.
00:09:53Think you could handle that job?
00:09:55Well, I think I could.
00:10:08Stitches are in.
00:10:09I'll need to see you again in a few days.
00:10:11Would you like some pills for the pain?
00:10:12Nah, stitches never bother me.
00:10:14I'll be fine.
00:10:14Great.
00:10:15Then let me get another bandage and we'll be done.
00:10:20Mr. and Mrs. Cabell,
00:10:22can we ask you a few follow-up questions about the fire?
00:10:24We already told you everything we can remember.
00:10:26This will only take a moment.
00:10:28It's come to our attention that the owner of the club and your son got into a fight minutes before the fire broke out.
00:10:34Now, did you witness that?
00:10:35I saw a grown man beating up on my teenage boy.
00:10:38What else do you want to know?
00:10:39During the altercation, did your son threaten to kill Mr. Schilling?
00:10:47No.
00:10:49Really?
00:10:49Well, I was right there, detective.
00:10:53My son said no such thing.
00:10:55You sure?
00:10:58Absolutely.
00:11:04Thank you for your time.
00:11:05Maybe I'm being a little paranoid here,
00:11:11but I sort of got the feeling that you were lying to the police.
00:11:17Lynette, please tell me that Porter did not threaten to kill Mr. Schilling.
00:11:22I've got the bandage.
00:11:25You might want to go ahead and give him those pain pills, Doc.
00:11:27He's going to need them.
00:11:28I don't understand.
00:11:38Carlos might get his sight back.
00:11:39You should be thrilled.
00:11:40I know.
00:11:41It's just...
00:11:42He's been through so much these past five years,
00:11:45and he's never complained.
00:11:47I just think he deserves to open his eyes to a wife
00:11:49who doesn't tuck her boobs into her pants.
00:11:51Oh, Gabby, please.
00:11:53Most women would kill to look like you.
00:11:55But I'm not most women.
00:11:56I was an international fashion model,
00:11:58and that's how Carlos remembers me.
00:12:00You're still beautiful.
00:12:02So you've gained a little weight.
00:12:03Who hasn't?
00:12:06Don't go by me.
00:12:07I have a weird metabolism.
00:12:09Hey, there.
00:12:10I just heard the good news about Carlos.
00:12:14Oh.
00:12:15What's wrong?
00:12:17Gabby thinks that Carlos isn't going to find her attractive
00:12:20after he gets his sight back.
00:12:21Yeah, that was my first thought, too.
00:12:23Edie?
00:12:24Well...
00:12:24It's okay.
00:12:25It's okay.
00:12:25Let her talk.
00:12:26At least she's being honest.
00:12:29That's the kind of support and friendship I need right now.
00:12:33Fine.
00:12:35You're a pig.
00:12:38God, what am I going to do?
00:12:42Well, you're going to stop whining for one.
00:12:44You've got a month, right?
00:12:45That's plenty of time to go on a diet and start exercising.
00:12:48By the time Carlos gets his eyesight back,
00:12:50you are going to be looking hot.
00:12:52Or hot-ish.
00:12:54Really?
00:12:56I mean, you think I could pull this off?
00:12:58Of course.
00:12:59Even though I still think you're beautiful just the way you are.
00:13:03Are you going to start that crap again?
00:13:04I don't believe it.
00:13:08Tom, I was six feet away.
00:13:11Porter looked Warren Schilling in the eye and said,
00:13:14You're dead.
00:13:14I don't care what it takes.
00:13:16You're dead.
00:13:16That doesn't prove a thing.
00:13:19And I'm sure he didn't mean it.
00:13:21Maybe he didn't.
00:13:22But ten minutes later, that nightclub was on fire.
00:13:25No.
00:13:26No.
00:13:27I know Porter.
00:13:28He wouldn't commit arson just to get back at someone.
00:13:31What about Rick's restaurant?
00:13:32Porter and his brother burned that down.
00:13:35That was five years ago.
00:13:38They were trying to protect us.
00:13:40Nobody got hurt.
00:13:41The building was empty.
00:13:43Yes.
00:13:44That time, the building was empty.
00:13:46This is insane.
00:13:52Lineth, are you actually telling me that our son is a murderer?
00:13:59I'm telling you I heard him threaten Warren Schilling.
00:14:03I don't know what happened next.
00:14:10What if somebody saw him?
00:14:13What if he left behind evidence?
00:14:16What are we going to do?
00:14:19We're going to protect our son.
00:14:21Even if he killed six people?
00:14:25We're going to protect our son.
00:14:30Okay.
00:14:35Oh, boy.
00:14:37Who knew healthy food could look so tasty?
00:14:41Okay, dig in.
00:14:42What's wrong?
00:14:47It was like the beach that time.
00:14:49They wouldn't let us swim.
00:14:50It's a recipe I got from a diet magazine.
00:14:53It's fish and broccoli.
00:14:55Fish?
00:14:56Yes.
00:14:56Not all fish is shaped like a stick.
00:14:59Now, I know you're not used to it, but give it a try.
00:15:03You're going to love it.
00:15:03It's sweet.
00:15:10Mmm.
00:15:11Yummy.
00:15:12It's still in your mouth.
00:15:19See?
00:15:20Delicious.
00:15:20I want macaroni.
00:15:23Hey, I'm not a short order cook.
00:15:25I don't have time to make different meals for everyone.
00:15:28It comes in a box.
00:15:29It's not that hard.
00:15:31Okay, look.
00:15:32Mommy needs to lose a few pounds.
00:15:34And it's not easy eating healthy with you two in front of me scarfing down all the good stuff.
00:15:39So what do you say?
00:15:39You want to help Mommy be beautiful again?
00:15:44No.
00:15:46You got a lot of nerve.
00:15:48Part of the reason I'm on this diet is because carrying YouTube brats for 18 months made Mommy fat.
00:15:52And you, with the head, you ruined me.
00:15:55So this is how it's going to go down.
00:15:56You're going to eat fish with Mommy, and you're going to like it.
00:15:58Got it?
00:16:01A spokesman for Fairview Memorial Hospital says his latest death raises the total to seven.
00:16:08Oh, come on.
00:16:09You're watching that again?
00:16:12Sorry.
00:16:16Hey.
00:16:17Are you okay?
00:16:20I just...
00:16:22This fire, I still can't believe it really happened.
00:16:27I mean, they just said another person died this afternoon.
00:16:29That makes...
00:16:30Seven.
00:16:31Well, if it makes you feel any better, they think they know who did it.
00:16:40Who?
00:16:42Well, it's just a rumor.
00:16:44But I hear they're looking at Porter Scavo.
00:16:47Porter?
00:16:49Why would they think it's him?
00:16:51I don't know.
00:16:52I guess there was a fight between him and the guy who owns the club.
00:16:56Now, I've known that kid since he was six years old, and I've always thought he was trouble.
00:17:00And trust me, I'm a really good judge of character.
00:17:12Oh, thank you.
00:17:14You slept on the couch?
00:17:16Why?
00:17:16It's so uncomfortable.
00:17:17Yes, it is.
00:17:18Sit down.
00:17:19We need to talk.
00:17:20What's wrong?
00:17:21What's wrong?
00:17:23Arson, dear.
00:17:25Because of the way your nose was broken during the fire, you now snore.
00:17:29Oh, didn't I snore before?
00:17:31Good point.
00:17:32Snoring is too mild a word for what you're doing.
00:17:36Imagine a terrified elephant summoning his herd.
00:17:39You know, Brie, I can't help but take issue with your sarcastic tone.
00:17:45Snoring is not something that I can help.
00:17:47Not exactly true.
00:17:49The doctor said there's a very simple procedure.
00:17:52Procedure?
00:17:53Very routine and practically outpatient.
00:17:56You mean surgery?
00:17:58No way.
00:17:58I had an uncle who died during an outpatient procedure.
00:18:02He went in for a broken wrist.
00:18:04They put him under.
00:18:04He never woke up.
00:18:06You don't have an uncle.
00:18:08Fine.
00:18:09He was more of a family friend.
00:18:11No, the point is, he's still dead.
00:18:14And I am not having unnecessary surgery.
00:18:16This is absolutely necessary.
00:18:18I am going through a very stressful time.
00:18:20I have interviews, that cooking demonstration at the mall.
00:18:23If I don't get my rest, it could affect the launch of my book.
00:18:26Oh, well, that's very reasonable.
00:18:28You get to be a best-selling author.
00:18:30I get to be an organ donor.
00:18:32Orson, if we can't share a bed, it's going to hurt the intimacy of our marriage.
00:18:38My death will have the same effect.
00:18:44Oh, Orson.
00:18:46I can't help but take issue with your sarcastic tone.
00:18:49I hear you're getting discharged today.
00:19:01Are you going back home?
00:19:03Home?
00:19:04Hmm, let's see.
00:19:05Two cracked ribs, black eye.
00:19:08Nope.
00:19:09Got everything I need from there.
00:19:10I'm sure you heard about the nightclub burning down.
00:19:15Yeah, I heard.
00:19:17Your husband's blaming Porter.
00:19:20What?
00:19:21Porter would never do anything like that.
00:19:23What's this?
00:19:31I'm helping you help me.
00:19:35This way you get to start a new life and I get to not have you around while my son is going through all this.
00:19:42What if I'm not ready to leave?
00:19:43Well, then you can face statutory rape charges without the money.
00:19:48Your call.
00:19:56I'll pick you up tonight.
00:19:58I'll give you a ride to the bus station.
00:20:00You can count it then.
00:20:11Hey, do you want to take a walk?
00:20:13I need a little girlfriend time.
00:20:15I've got something in the oven, but you can come in if you want.
00:20:25So, what's on your mind?
00:20:28Well, it's about Mike.
00:20:32Mike?
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:34Can you imagine how upset I was when I discovered he's dating a friend of mine?
00:20:40Oh, Susan.
00:20:41I'm so...
00:20:42It's got to be Lisa Wallace.
00:20:45So shocked at Lisa.
00:20:47How dare she?
00:20:49You know, she has wanted to get her hooks into Mike for years.
00:20:52Every time she would have us over for a barbecue, she always wore something booby.
00:20:55Well, in Lisa's defense, maybe she thinks you're over Mike, which is something I've heard you say more than once.
00:21:04Well, it doesn't matter.
00:21:06She's my friend.
00:21:07She should have come to me and discussed it first.
00:21:10Well, you know, it was available.
00:21:12And besides, maybe Lisa was waiting to see if this thing had a future.
00:21:18All things we can discuss when I knock her teeth out with a pool cue.
00:21:23You know, it's sad when you can't trust a friend.
00:21:26Or maybe the lesson here is that she wasn't really a friend to begin with.
00:21:30What's wrong?
00:21:41Susan, I swear I was going to tell you.
00:21:43It's fine.
00:21:44It's fine.
00:21:45I just didn't think of it making such a big deal.
00:21:46I mean, you're seeing Jackson now.
00:21:48Yes, I am.
00:21:48You're perfectly right.
00:21:49And I've been so lonely lately.
00:21:50Well, no, you're not.
00:21:51I know you're mad at me.
00:21:52Would you just please yell at me or something?
00:21:53Dammit, I should have listened to Brie.
00:21:56Brie?
00:21:56Yes, she told me weeks ago I should have told you.
00:21:58So Brie knew?
00:21:59Yes.
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:00Well, have a nice day.
00:22:03So, we're okay then?
00:22:10You knew about Catherine and Mike?
00:22:12Oh, God, Susan.
00:22:13Can't this wait till after my nap?
00:22:14Why didn't you tell me?
00:22:17I didn't think it was my place.
00:22:18I thought Catherine should tell you.
00:22:20Well, she didn't.
00:22:22I'm sorry.
00:22:23Uh, not good enough?
00:22:25You had a million chances to say something, and you didn't.
00:22:28That is just the same as lying to my face.
00:22:32You know, I always thought that the one thing I could depend on you for was honesty.
00:22:37What happened to that?
00:22:38You want honesty?
00:22:39Fine.
00:22:40You didn't want to divorce Mike.
00:22:42You hit a really bad patch after the accident, but you never stopped loving him.
00:22:45And why would you?
00:22:46Your relationship didn't have a natural end.
00:22:48So face it, you're not mad at me or Mike or Catherine.
00:22:50You're mad at yourself for letting your marriage fall apart.
00:22:52What am I supposed to do?
00:23:05Either tell Mike how you feel, or move on, because that's what he's trying to do, and
00:23:10it's not fair to stop him.
00:23:12You need to make a decision, Susan.
00:23:18And I need to get back to my nap.
00:23:19I know the doctor told us not to get our hopes up, but I can't help it.
00:23:30My hopes are up.
00:23:30I am going to see again.
00:23:32Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:23:33I knew it.
00:23:33You're excited, too.
00:23:34I can hear it in your voice.
00:23:36Hi, Dr. Bach.
00:23:37How are you?
00:23:38Hi, Mrs. Sully.
00:23:39Hey, Doc.
00:23:39We are still reeling over the good news.
00:23:42Well, I have even better news.
00:23:44Dr. Daniels just had a cancellation.
00:23:46He can fit you in next Friday.
00:23:48Friday?
00:23:49But you said it would be at least a month.
00:23:51I mean, that's so soon.
00:23:54So?
00:23:54Friday's great.
00:23:55Okay, I didn't want to have to say this, but you should never have surgery on a Friday.
00:24:02The surgeons are thinking about the weekend.
00:24:04They're all distracted.
00:24:05Next thing you know, you come out of the OR still blind and missing your right leg.
00:24:09Why are you talking like this?
00:24:11Also, the surgery is very expensive.
00:24:13We need time to figure out how we're going to pay for it.
00:24:15How about using our insurance?
00:24:18That only covers 85%.
00:24:19And we are broke.
00:24:21You know what?
00:24:22The hospital has a foundation to help people in this exact situation.
00:24:25No, we don't accept charity.
00:24:28We always accept charity.
00:24:29Well, I have turned over a new leaf.
00:24:32I'm sorry about the timing, Carlos, but it is what it is.
00:24:34Gabby, we were doing this Friday.
00:24:36Now drop it.
00:24:40So you say this guy's good, huh, Doc?
00:24:42Dr. Daniels is one of the top guys in the country.
00:24:44That's what I like to hear.
00:24:50Breathe.
00:24:50Please let me sleep in my bed.
00:24:53No.
00:24:54I promise not to snore.
00:24:56And if I do, I will go down to the sofa and stay as long as you say.
00:25:01And how exactly are you going to stop snoring?
00:25:03Well, I read somewhere that chamomile tea helps prevent it.
00:25:06That doesn't sound right.
00:25:07Well, it's worth a try, right?
00:25:10Look, I'll brew you a cup, too.
00:25:13Whatever.
00:25:14Whatever.
00:25:14There you go.
00:25:33Drink that up.
00:25:35All right, but I think I'll be too tired to finish it.
00:25:37That pill I took really kicked in fast.
00:25:40You took a pill?
00:25:41When did you do that?
00:25:42When you were downstairs.
00:25:43Oh, well, then you shouldn't drink this because the chamomile actually counteracts the effect of the sleeping.
00:25:50Since when have you become such an expert on chamomile?
00:25:52Well, the point is, we shouldn't risk it.
00:25:55Fine.
00:25:55I just know I need my sleep tonight.
00:25:58I don't...
00:25:59That's it.
00:26:03We'll finish that thought tomorrow.
00:26:05I, uh, don't suppose you'd tell Porter something for me, would you?
00:26:27I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but I do love your son.
00:26:32He was very sweet to me.
00:26:38Kindness is always a bad weakness in mine.
00:26:45Good luck.
00:26:57Anne?
00:26:59When the baby comes, you don't contact Porter.
00:27:02You can contact Tom or me, and we'll do what we can for you from a distance.
00:27:08Understood?
00:27:11There's no baby.
00:27:14Never was.
00:27:15I just got a call from the lady at the department store.
00:27:33She said that Mom's late.
00:27:34Late for what?
00:27:35For the cooking demonstration.
00:27:38That's the day?
00:27:40Yeah, it was supposed to start ten minutes ago.
00:27:42Look, I'm in Mount Pleasant right now buying some in-tables, so you're going to have to get her there.
00:27:46Orson?
00:27:50Bree?
00:27:50Honey, wake up.
00:27:52It's 9.15.
00:27:539.15?
00:27:53I'm supposed to be at the mall.
00:27:57Did I forget to set the alarm?
00:27:58We need to get dressed.
00:27:59I'll get you some clothes.
00:28:00I'm so thirsty.
00:28:01I'll bring you some juice.
00:28:03Sorry, I'll just drink this tea.
00:28:05Breathe.
00:28:07Oh.
00:28:09What?
00:28:10On second thought, you need coffee.
00:28:11Almost there.
00:28:16All right, coffee time.
00:28:17Enough coffee.
00:28:18It's not working anyway.
00:28:19It must be decapped.
00:28:20No, it's a triple espresso.
00:28:21I just don't understand why I feel so loopy.
00:28:24Very mysterious.
00:28:25All you've got to do is whip up a few pancakes, hand out some advanced copies of your book, and we're out of here.
00:28:32Do you think you can handle that?
00:28:32Of course I can.
00:28:34You are such a nervous Nelly, Rex.
00:28:37Oh, and here's the lady who's going to teach us how to make her traditional buckwheat pancakes, Brie Vandekamp.
00:28:48Thank you for joining us.
00:28:50Thank you for having me to your lovely home.
00:28:55Brie, your book is about so much more than just recipes, isn't it?
00:28:59Yes, my book is about food and families and how food brings families together when they make food.
00:29:05It's mothers teaching daughters how to cook, so I'm going to cook pancakes with my daughter.
00:29:12Only she's not here because she grew up and stole my baby.
00:29:18So, who wants to be my daughter?
00:29:20Hello, it's me.
00:29:37I just wanted to tell you, I've been thinking about it, and I'm okay with you dating Mike.
00:29:45You are? You don't hate me?
00:29:47No. And I think it's great.
00:29:51Oh, Susan, thank you. I was so worried. I just, I didn't know what I'd do if I lost you as a friend.
00:29:57Oh, well, you haven't.
00:30:01Just treat him well, okay? He's a really good guy.
00:30:05I will.
00:30:07Hey, um, I was just about to make a cappuccino. You want to come over?
00:30:10Uh, no, thanks. I'm really busy. I have a lot of things to do today.
00:30:18Another time, though, okay? Bye.
00:30:30Just call me back, okay?
00:30:32I really need to talk to you.
00:30:34Who's that?
00:30:39Nobody. Just a kid at school. I lent him my bus pass.
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:45Listen, we need to talk.
00:30:48What's up?
00:30:48I have to ask you something, and it is very important that you tell me the truth.
00:30:59Okay.
00:31:02Did you set that fire at the nightclub?
00:31:07Before you answer, let me say that if you did, I promise your father and I will stand behind you and try and find some way out of this nightmare.
00:31:16But if you lie to me, and I find out later that you killed those people, well, I will love you.
00:31:27That will never change, but I won't believe in you anymore.
00:31:32And if I don't believe in you, I can't help you.
00:31:38Mom, I don't know who set the fire, but it wasn't me.
00:31:52Of course it wasn't.
00:32:00Of course.
00:32:03Then we're going to be okay.
00:32:05As long as you keep telling the truth.
00:32:08Everything's going to be fine.
00:32:12Mom.
00:32:15There's one thing I lied about.
00:32:17What?
00:32:18When you walked in, I was leaving a message for Anne.
00:32:22Oh.
00:32:23She hasn't returned my calls, and the hospital said she checked out.
00:32:28Do you have any idea where she is?
00:32:33No.
00:32:34Sweetie, I don't.
00:32:35You know what I'm really excited about?
00:32:44Christmas lights.
00:32:46I might be able to see Christmas lights again, holiday decorations.
00:32:50Man, I really miss that stuff.
00:32:51Yeah, well, let's keep our fingers crossed.
00:32:55Oh!
00:32:56You okay?
00:32:58Yeah.
00:32:59It's my hamstring.
00:33:00I've just been working out.
00:33:01You want me to rub it?
00:33:04No, no, you rest.
00:33:06You're going to have surgery in a couple days.
00:33:08I know.
00:33:09I can't wait.
00:33:11You know, Carlos, I know you're really excited to see Christmas decorations again,
00:33:15but I just want you to be prepared because, well, some of those lights may have lost their luster.
00:33:24So should we buy new decorations?
00:33:27No, I'm talking about me.
00:33:28I may have lost my luster.
00:33:30Come on.
00:33:33I'm always going to find you beautiful.
00:33:34I told you that.
00:33:35Yeah, that's when you thought you were going to be blind forever.
00:33:38But if this operation works, I just don't want you to be disappointed.
00:33:46Oh, come here.
00:33:55Did I ever tell you when I knew I was going to marry you?
00:33:58First time you saw me on the runway?
00:33:59No, that's when I knew I was going to sleep with you.
00:34:03No, I knew I was going to marry you the night we went to that restaurant on 3rd Street.
00:34:07I remember that place.
00:34:08You wore a white linen sundress, and you ordered this giant plate of ribs.
00:34:17And you ate them with such gusto, up to your elbows and barbecue sauce, meat hanging from your teeth and grease in your hair.
00:34:29And when it was all over, I pointed out what a mess you were.
00:34:32You pulled out your mirror, took a look at yourself, and just let out this huge, happy, totally unrestrained laugh.
00:34:43The room completely filled with it, and I thought to myself, now that is a sound I'd like to hear the rest of my life.
00:34:53That's why I proposed to you, and it had nothing to do with your looks.
00:35:02You know, when I decided I wanted to be with you forever?
00:35:14No, when?
00:35:16About two seconds ago.
00:35:17Up until then, it was pretty touch and go.
00:35:33So what can I do for you?
00:35:35Well, my husband has agreed to the procedure you suggested.
00:35:38Oh, the one to alleviate his snoring?
00:35:40Yes, that's the one.
00:35:41So anytime you want to get in there and start hacking away, he's ready for you.
00:35:45Aren't you, love?
00:35:47Yes, dear.
00:35:50Well, how is two weeks from Friday?
00:35:53Well, Fridays are when Orson plays golf, so Friday's perfect.
00:35:57Right, Orson?
00:35:58Right, dear.
00:36:03I'm sorry, Mr. Hodge.
00:36:04I'm sensing you're a bit apprehensive about the surgery.
00:36:08Oh, he's not apprehensive.
00:36:09He's terrified.
00:36:10And I don't care, because he owes me one.
00:36:13A big one.
00:36:14Don't you, darling?
00:36:15I sure do.
00:36:20I'm sorry.
00:36:20What's going on here?
00:36:22Are you married, Dr. Kaminas?
00:36:25No, but I just moved in with someone.
00:36:27Well, over time, you'll learn that there's a balance of power in relationships.
00:36:30And if your beloved ever pulls a nasty trick on you, like, say, drugging you into a stupor,
00:36:36then the balance of power shifts to you.
00:36:38And then you can demand they prove their love by, say, undergoing surgery.
00:36:43Do you understand?
00:36:44Not really.
00:36:47You will.
00:36:48Come along, Orson.
00:36:49Hey, hon, listen.
00:37:07Can you promise me something?
00:37:09Tell me we'll never grow into one of those insane couples that just lives to make each other crazy.
00:37:13Oh, well, no worries there.
00:37:15You already make me crazy.
00:37:18Oh, hey, guess what?
00:37:19I, uh, I picked up our new in-tables today.
00:37:22Yeah, hurry home.
00:37:23I want you to see them.
00:37:24If you walk through Fairview Memorial Hospital, you will encounter all sorts of people doing their best to recover.
00:37:41It might be a husband licking his wounds after a marital battle.
00:37:46It might be a wife who's been cured of low self-esteem.
00:38:03Or a pair of lovers who find honesty to be the best medicine.
00:38:08Sadly, you will also find some poor souls afflicted with a condition they will never recover from.
00:38:20Detective, I heard you were still here interviewing people and I have something to tell you.
00:38:27Okay.
00:38:28The night of the fire, I was backed by the storage room.
00:38:32Yes?
00:38:36And I saw somebody come out.
00:38:38The kid who lives in my block, his name is Porter Scavo.
00:38:42You asked me to tell you if I remembered anything, and I remembered that.
00:38:55Previously on Desperate Housewives.
00:38:59A tragic event led to the end of a marriage.
00:39:04He's dating a friend of mine?
00:39:06And the pain of moving on.
00:39:08Medical wonders were promised.
00:39:11If we remove that bone fragment, you could regain your sight.
00:39:13Both large and small.
00:39:15My husband has agreed to the procedure you suggested.
00:39:18The one to alleviate his snoring?
00:39:19Detective.
00:39:20And a devastating lie was told.
00:39:22The night of the fire, I saw somebody come out.
00:39:24His name is Porter Scavo.
00:39:25One morning, it occurred to Lynette Scavo, she could not remember the last time her family had breakfast together.
00:39:40So Lynette did what any mother would do in that situation.
00:39:46See you later, Mom.
00:39:51The first person who steps foot out that door will lose a leg.
00:39:54She threatened her family with violence.
00:40:06That was delicious, but I did promise Christy I'd walk her to school today.
00:40:09Oh, you are such a gentleman.
00:40:11Sit your ass down.
00:40:13Dad, make Mom let me go.
00:40:16Everyone at this table who thinks I have the power to make your mom do anything, raise your hand.
00:40:21Wish I could have helped.
00:40:29Look, this family has been through a lot lately, and your dad and I feel we'll be better parents if we know what's going on in your lives.
00:40:38So, Parker, how's that science project you've been working on?
00:40:41Hey, can I help you?
00:40:43Is this the residence of Porter Scavo?
00:40:45Yeah, why?
00:40:47I'm Porter Scavo.
00:40:48Sir, can you step outside?
00:40:49Porter Scavo, you are under arrest.
00:40:51What?
00:40:52The other writer remains silent.
00:40:53Wait, what's going on?
00:40:54Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to step back.
00:40:56Okay, guys, look at this about Warren Schilling's bar.
00:40:58Porter had nothing to do with that fire.
00:40:59Apparently, there's a witness that says otherwise.
00:41:00Oh, witness, I'm...
00:41:01Now, will you please step back and let us do our job?
00:41:05If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a sort of law.
00:41:08Oh, witness, what are they talking about?
00:41:10It's going to be okay.
00:41:11We'll call a lawyer.
00:41:13We'll get through this.
00:41:19Let's go.
00:41:27Lynette Scavo couldn't remember the last time her family had breakfast together.
00:41:32Guess we're done talking about my science project, huh?
00:41:36Yes, sweetie, we are.
00:41:38And she couldn't know.
00:41:40It would be many years before her family would have breakfast together again.
00:41:45It's an awful thing to live in the dark, unable to see what others take for granted.
00:42:02But sometimes, for a lucky few, a flicker of light pierces that darkness and brings with it the promise of better days to come.
00:42:15Do you see anything?
00:42:18I see light.
00:42:20And some fuzzy shapes.
00:42:23That's it?
00:42:24That's all he can expect to see right now.
00:42:26But if he's able to see that much, it won't be long until his full sight returns.
00:42:31Can you see me, babe?
00:42:33Just your silhouette.
00:42:34I can tell you cut your hair short.
00:42:36It kind of makes your ears stick out, but I like it.
00:42:39Carlos, it's the doctor.
00:42:40I'm right here.
00:42:42Doesn't matter.
00:42:43I can see something other than nothing.
00:42:45Oh, this is a good day.
00:42:46Now, remember, his eyes will be very sensitive for the next few weeks.
00:42:51So, low light indoors, dark glasses outside.
00:42:55Uh, doctor, we are very grateful, so don't take this the wrong way, but...
00:43:06Well, your septum looks great, and you say your snoring's gone.
00:43:09I think we're in good shape.
00:43:10Will we need to come in for a follow-up?
00:43:12Nope, I think we're done.
00:43:13You know, I always tell my patients I'm going to miss them, but this time I really mean it.
00:43:18Oh, we feel the same way about you. You've been lovely.
00:43:23Ah, please excuse me.
00:43:27What are you doing?
00:43:28Leaving the man a thank you card.
00:43:30For a doctor?
00:43:31He helped you through a very difficult time.
00:43:32The least we can do is let him know how much we appreciate...
00:43:38What the hell is this?
00:43:43You're living with the man? Since when?
00:43:47Um, Alex moved in six months ago.
00:43:50Why the secrecy? Did you think I'd disapprove?
00:43:52The man's a doctor, for heaven's sakes. You've done better than I did.
00:43:56That was a bit of a drive-by.
00:43:57I'm just trying to understand how my son could keep a secret like this from his own mother.
00:44:02Mom, come on. I mean, since I came out, you haven't shown the slightest interest in my love life.
00:44:07Of course I have.
00:44:08Handing me a pamphlet on the resurgence of gonorrhea? That's not what I'm talking about.
00:44:13Think about it. Have you even once asked if I was dating someone?
00:44:17Well...
00:44:19You see, you didn't really want to know. That's why I didn't tell you.
00:44:25Well, I want to know now. So that's why I'm having you and Alex over to dinner tomorrow night.
00:44:29What?
00:44:30Yes, if he's a part of your life, I want to get to know him. I think I'll surf fish.
00:44:33Actually, I said it wrong. I think it's kind of cool the way that you ignore my love life.
00:44:37Nice try. Tell Alex we dress for dinner.
00:44:40Mom, please don't.
00:44:41I know. You can't criticize my parenting and then deny me the chance to make up for it.
00:44:47Orson and I will expect you at 8.
00:44:51Okay.
00:44:55Are you sure you want me there, too? I mean, after all, I'm only a dentist.
00:44:57Oh, for God's sake, Orson, let it go.
00:44:59MJ, hurry up. Your dad's here.
00:45:08Hey, Katherine. What are you doing here?
00:45:10Well, I'm a big zoo fan, and when Mike said he was taking MJ, I asked if I could tag along.
00:45:16So is that okay?
00:45:17Of course. Why wouldn't it be okay? I think it's...
00:45:20Great.
00:45:26Really, really great.
00:45:31Sweetie, good news. Katherine's gonna go to the zoo with you.
00:45:35Why does she have to go?
00:45:37Uh, well, she and your daddy are friends, and the more the merrier.
00:45:44I just want daddy.
00:45:46Oh, you got me, pal.
00:45:48Hey, we're gonna have a great time.
00:45:49And we'll show Katherine that funny swing the monkey goes on.
00:45:52Oh, that sounds so cool. Will you show me that?
00:45:55I guess.
00:46:00Okay, let's go.
00:46:02Oh, don't forget his coat.
00:46:06I'll find some way to get him to like me.
00:46:08I'm sure you will.
00:46:11Boy, I'll bet the gift shop at the zoo just loves divorce.
00:46:14So, how you doing, son?
00:46:25Not so good.
00:46:27Okay, well, don't worry.
00:46:29Bob here has agreed to represent you.
00:46:31When we're done here, I'm going to go to the DA, and we're going to start talking about bail.
00:46:34But first, I've got to ask you a few questions.
00:46:37Like, why do the police have a witness?
00:46:39The DA says you were spotted coming out of the storage room right before the fire started.
00:46:43What gives?
00:46:44I don't know what they're talking about.
00:46:46I have an alibi.
00:46:48You do?
00:46:49Great.
00:46:50Great.
00:46:51Why haven't you told anyone this?
00:46:52It's just so embarrassing.
00:46:55You are up for manslaughter, and you're worried about being embarrassed?
00:46:59If we can verify your story, I can probably get the charges dropped.
00:47:02We wouldn't even need bail.
00:47:03So, where were you?
00:47:05I was at Edie Britt's.
00:47:08Oh, please.
00:47:10Tell me you're not having sex with her, too.
00:47:12Dad.
00:47:13What is wrong with girls your own age?
00:47:14Do you know what I would give to date a 17-year-old?
00:47:21Okay, we're going to talk about that later.
00:47:23You were saying?
00:47:24I'm not having sex with Edie.
00:47:25After I left the club, I went to her house.
00:47:27But only so I could break in and steal her gun.
00:47:33Why would you do that?
00:47:34Mr. Schilling beat up Ann and then humiliated me.
00:47:37I wanted to scare the hell out of him just to wipe that smug look off his face.
00:47:43But when I got back to the club, it was on fire, so I went home and hid the gun in Mom's flower jar.
00:47:51Anyway, that's my alibi.
00:47:54Think that'll help?
00:47:59Did anyone see you do this?
00:48:01No.
00:48:03Then this is really not an alibi.
00:48:06It's more a confession to another crime.
00:48:11Oh.
00:48:14Well, you missed it.
00:48:15Missed what?
00:48:16Porter Scabo got arrested today.
00:48:17I knew he set that fire.
00:48:21Poor Lynette.
00:48:22Poor Lynette, my ass.
00:48:23Poor seven people who got burned to death.
00:48:26Boy.
00:48:28Wouldn't want to be in Lynette's shoes right now.
00:48:30Can you imagine what she's going through?
00:48:33I mean, he is her son, so she's kind of responsible.
00:48:38God.
00:48:39The guilt she must be in.
00:48:44Dave!
00:48:46What the hell?
00:48:48You're bleeding.
00:48:51Okay, come on.
00:48:52In the house.
00:48:53Let's get this cleaned up.
00:48:55You're just going to sneak it back into Edie's house?
00:49:09Are you crazy?
00:49:10Tom, if you're going to freak out, can you do that in the other room?
00:49:12I'm kind of busy here.
00:49:14What has happened to us?
00:49:16I mean, we're posting bail, we're returning stolen guns.
00:49:19When did this become our life?
00:49:21If Edie reports this gun missing, you don't have to be the sharpest cop on the force
00:49:24to figure out where to start looking, and that's the last thing we need right now.
00:49:29I copy you, Lynette.
00:49:31You always know what to do in a crisis.
00:49:32Oh, I try.
00:49:36You're my rock, Lynette.
00:49:37You know that, don't you?
00:49:38Tom, your rock is trying to get fingerprints off a weapon.
00:49:41You mind?
00:49:42Thanks.
00:49:43You're home kind of early.
00:49:44Is everything okay?
00:49:45Go up to your room.
00:49:46I'll come in in a minute.
00:49:47We'll talk about what happened.
00:49:48What did happen?
00:49:49Well, MJ threw his hot fudge sundae at Katherine.
00:49:52Seriously?
00:49:54That's terrible.
00:49:55Is she okay?
00:49:56Well, she's got nuts and whipped cream all in her hair, and that little plastic coconut
00:49:59bowl scratched her forehead.
00:50:01Susan.
00:50:02I'm sorry.
00:50:03The image in my mind is probably way funnier than what actually happened.
00:50:05Why didn't MJ do that?
00:50:06I don't know.
00:50:07Katherine and I were talking about spending Christmas in Bermuda, and she said she didn't
00:50:09want to go because she thinks she doesn't look good in a bathing suit, and I said she
00:50:11could be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
00:50:12And, BAM!
00:50:13And, BAM!
00:50:14And, BAM!
00:50:15And, BAM!
00:50:16And, BAM!
00:50:17And, BAM!
00:50:18And, BAM!
00:50:19And, BAM!
00:50:20And, BAM!
00:50:21And, BAM!
00:50:22And, BAM!
00:50:23And, BAM!
00:50:24And, BAM!
00:50:25MJ throws his dessert.
00:50:26That's the worst thing I've ever heard.
00:50:28Well, he has only five.
00:50:29No, I'm talking about that line you fed her.
00:50:31Sports Illustrated?
00:50:32What was the issue about?
00:50:33The senior Olympics?
00:50:34I'm going to talk to MJ.
00:50:35I mean, I could see her on the cover of Menopause Monthly.
00:50:36What was the issue about?
00:50:37The senior Olympics?
00:50:38I'm going to talk to MJ.
00:50:39I mean, I could see her on the cover of Menopause Monthly.
00:50:50What was the issue about?
00:50:51The senior Olympics?
00:50:52I'm going to talk to MJ.
00:50:53Everything is still a little blurry.
00:51:04I can only make out, like, shapes and shadows.
00:51:07But, in a week or so, everything should be clear as a bell.
00:51:10Wow.
00:51:11The whole thing's like a miracle.
00:51:12And, Gabby has been so patient through all of this.
00:51:14She's really been an angel.
00:51:16Damn it, Carlos.
00:51:17What are you?
00:51:18A moron?
00:51:19I hear a little voice from heaven now.
00:51:21Why aren't you wearing your blackout glasses?
00:51:23The doctor says your eyes can't be exposed to any light.
00:51:25I can only handle my husband going blind once per marriage.
00:51:31Whoops.
00:51:32Was that my baseball?
00:51:33Yeah, I got it.
00:51:34What do you think?
00:51:35Pretty cool, huh?
00:51:36Uh, yeah.
00:51:37It's round.
00:51:39Look at it.
00:51:40It was signed by Lou Gehrig.
00:51:45Um.
00:51:49Oh, looky there.
00:51:50Lou Gehrig.
00:51:51Wow.
00:51:52It was a gift passed down from my grandfather to my father, then to me.
00:51:56Uh-uh.
00:51:57It was.
00:51:58I didn't know that.
00:51:59I thought it was some stupid collector's item.
00:52:01No.
00:52:02That's why we wouldn't let you sell it when we were low on cash.
00:52:08Uh, Carlos, I think it's time to put your eye drops in.
00:52:11Why don't you go do that?
00:52:12Excuse me, ladies.
00:52:17Oh, don't look at me that way.
00:52:19I did what I had to do.
00:52:20Gabby, you never sell a man's autographed baseball.
00:52:23The car needed tires.
00:52:24How was I supposed to know he was gonna get his sight back?
00:52:26I mean, of all the rotten luck.
00:52:28Who did you sell the ball to?
00:52:30I don't know.
00:52:31It was some Italian guy.
00:52:33Hey, Mike's into baseball.
00:52:35He must know someone who can track down this Lou Gehrig guy
00:52:37and get him to sign a new one.
00:52:41What?
00:52:45It's okay.
00:52:46It's gonna be okay.
00:52:47What's going on?
00:52:48Is there news?
00:52:49The judge just sent bail.
00:52:50Oh, thank God.
00:52:51How much?
00:52:5220,000.
00:52:53That's high.
00:52:54Where are we gonna get that kind of money?
00:52:56I guess we'll have to tap our emergency fund.
00:52:58We've got 14 grand in there.
00:52:59We've got another 800 more in the Christmas Club.
00:53:01Look, we'll scrape it together.
00:53:04Oh, God.
00:53:05Okay, I gotta get to the restaurant.
00:53:06Lynette, can you go to the bank and take care of that?
00:53:08Oh, sure.
00:53:09Okay, good.
00:53:13Okay, well, I'll notify the judge that you intend to post bail.
00:53:15Wait.
00:53:16Slow down.
00:53:17What?
00:53:19You're my lawyer, so anything I tell you is in confidence, right?
00:53:22Well, technically I'm Porter's lawyer, so don't...
00:53:24Just go with me on this.
00:53:25There is no emergency fund.
00:53:28I gave that money to Ann Schilling so she'd leave town, and Tom has no idea.
00:53:34Okay, just so I have this straight, you paid off a potential witness to get her to flee?
00:53:38Hey, whose lawyer are you anyway?
00:53:40Again, I'm Porter's...
00:53:41What am I supposed to do?
00:53:42Where am I gonna get that bail money?
00:53:45You could go to a bail bondsman, put up the house as collateral.
00:53:48No, the house is mortgaged to the teeth.
00:53:51Well, there's the restaurant.
00:53:54I guess I have no other choice.
00:53:57But again, this is all in the strictest confidence.
00:54:00Remember, you are my lawyer, not Tom's.
00:54:04Actually, Lynette, I'm...
00:54:05Shut up!
00:54:13So you see, it belonged to my husband's grandfather, and if I don't get it back, I'm telling you, I'm gonna be in the crapper.
00:54:18This is a family family. If this lady doesn't find her, she'll end up in the crapper.
00:54:27For nothing.
00:54:29For nothing!
00:54:30What does that mean?
00:54:31For nothing means, no way.
00:54:33I'm sorry.
00:54:34Oh, please, this is important!
00:54:38She's very attractive.
00:54:41I know what you're thinking. Don't do it!
00:54:43Do it!
00:54:44I want the...
00:54:46belly.
00:54:49You get it?
00:54:50Va bene, va bene.
00:54:52What? What's he saying?
00:54:55He'd like to watch you dance.
00:54:58What?
00:54:59On at the table.
00:55:04Yeah, you know what?
00:55:06I'm gonna have to call a big fat prenula on that one.
00:55:17Oh, hi, Lynette.
00:55:18Hey.
00:55:19So sorry about Porter, if there's anything that we can do.
00:55:21Well, actually, I wanted to borrow Edie's yellow sweater for the, uh, arraignment.
00:55:27Oh, yeah.
00:55:29Sorry, Edie's not here.
00:55:31Well, is it okay if I go up and get it?
00:55:34What?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40Sure.
00:55:41Go ahead.
00:55:42Thanks.
00:56:04Please.
00:56:05You have to leave.
00:56:12This isn't a good time, okay?
00:56:14All right.
00:56:15I'll come see you tomorrow.
00:56:16Just know that I still love you.
00:56:17And that'll never change.
00:56:21That'll never change.
00:56:23Okay?
00:56:25Just go home.
00:56:26Hold on.
00:56:27I'll be seeing you next time.
00:56:29It's a great day.
00:56:30See you next time.
00:56:32No?
00:56:33Good point.
00:56:34You don't have to leave.
00:56:35Please.
00:56:36You have to leave.
00:56:38This isn't a good time, okay?
00:56:40All right.
00:56:41I'll come see you tomorrow.
00:56:42Just know that I still love you.
00:56:45That'll never change.
00:56:48Well, let me start by saying it's so nice to see you in a social setting, Dr. Cominus.
00:56:58Ah, please. I insist you call me Alex now.
00:57:01All right, then, Alex.
00:57:03Oh, look at you two, sitting so far apart. Scooch over.
00:57:08Uh, Mom, we don't need to scooch.
00:57:12Well, I just want you to know if you need to scooch, Alex, I am okay with scooching and...
00:57:17the rest of it.
00:57:20Uh, Mom, as much as we appreciate your tolerance, we can wait until we get home to make out.
00:57:27Well, I just want you boys to know that I am comfortable with your lifestyle.
00:57:31Now, who would like a strawberry daiquiri?
00:57:37Are you expecting someone?
00:57:39Well, Orson and I thought it would be nice to share this special occasion with some dear friends.
00:57:47Well, Bob and Lee, what, are you sponsoring a float?
00:57:50Bree, you handled the introductions and I will check on dinner.
00:57:54Bob Hunter, Lee McDermott, I would like you to meet Andrew's new life partner, Dr. Alex Cominus.
00:57:59Ooh, a doctor.
00:58:00He's a plastic surgeon.
00:58:01Mm-hmm. You hear that, Bob?
00:58:02I like my eyes the way they are.
00:58:03They're so touchy.
00:58:05Have we met?
00:58:08Not that I recall.
00:58:09No, we have. I can't think where, though.
00:58:11I hear the gym is a popular meeting place.
00:58:14No, it's not that.
00:58:15Oh!
00:58:17My mistake.
00:58:18I must have you confused with someone else.
00:58:21Dinner's ready, shall we?
00:58:25Not so bad.
00:58:26Do you know that I can't see you?
00:58:28Oh, my God, you're right.
00:58:32It is him.
00:58:33Mm-hmm.
00:58:33Carlos, what's wrong?
00:58:45Gabby, I can see them.
00:58:47What?
00:58:47I can make out colors and shapes.
00:58:49Everything's starting to come into focus.
00:58:51Oh, my God, that's wonderful.
00:58:52Oh.
00:58:55Look at all my girls.
00:58:57Oh, you're right.
00:58:58She does look like my mom.
00:58:59Oh, I told you.
00:59:00Daddy, now you can help me dance.
00:59:01I know.
00:59:02I can't wait.
00:59:03Oh, it's amazing.
00:59:04I can make almost everything.
00:59:06The fireplace, our dining table.
00:59:09Where's the painting that we bought in Greece?
00:59:13Oh, I had to sell it a few months ago
00:59:15so I could make the mortgage.
00:59:17I'm sorry.
00:59:17I don't care about things.
00:59:19I can see my family.
00:59:20That's what's important.
00:59:21Really?
00:59:22That makes me feel so much better.
00:59:24I can't believe all the stupid things
00:59:26I've been worried about.
00:59:27Like what?
00:59:28Oh, it's silly.
00:59:29I sold that baseball of yours.
00:59:31But you're right.
00:59:32You could see, and that's all that matters.
00:59:35You sold my Lou Gehrig baseball?
00:59:38Yeah, but it's just a thing.
00:59:40We don't care about things.
00:59:41Right, right.
00:59:41But it was my father's,
00:59:43and his father's before him.
00:59:45Yeah, and I know that now.
00:59:47But Juanita, dance for your dad.
00:59:55Juanita, actually,
00:59:56why don't you take your sister
00:59:57and go to the kitchen and get some cookies?
01:00:00I'll be there in a minute.
01:00:05This is a very special day for all of us,
01:00:08so I'm not going to get mad.
01:00:10I'm just going to say that
01:00:11I don't know what was going through
01:00:13that feather head of yours,
01:00:14but I want that baseball back.
01:00:16Got it?
01:00:17Hey, this feather head
01:00:18kept this family afloat for five years.
01:00:20You have no idea what I had to do
01:00:22to keep this roof over our head.
01:00:23Look, there were two things
01:00:23that I asked you not to sell.
01:00:25My baseball and my watch.
01:00:26I didn't sell your watch!
01:00:27Only because you couldn't get it off my wrist,
01:00:29you little thief!
01:00:30Gabby, you lied!
01:00:31I want that baseball back,
01:00:33and you're going to get it!
01:00:34And you might want to lower the middle finger.
01:00:38I can see now, remember?
01:00:41Right.
01:00:42Damn.
01:00:44Oh, well.
01:00:50Brie, that was hands down
01:00:51the best dinner I've ever had in my life.
01:00:53You are so sweet.
01:00:54You know, Brie is the number one caterer in Fairview.
01:00:57Oh, that's right.
01:00:59Did you do weddings?
01:01:01Ow!
01:01:02I wasn't going to say anything.
01:01:04Say anything about what?
01:01:06Uh, nothing.
01:01:08Nothing.
01:01:11We're going to have to tell them sometime.
01:01:16Oh, my goodness.
01:01:16Are you two...
01:01:18Yes, yes.
01:01:19We're getting married.
01:01:23And I hate you.
01:01:27Oh, my God!
01:01:28Congratulations!
01:01:29Come on!
01:01:30Wow.
01:01:31See how excited they are?
01:01:32Why would you want to keep it a secret?
01:01:33I am going to handle everything for this wedding.
01:01:36That's why.
01:01:37Now, let me give my new son-in-law a hug.
01:01:44But out.
01:01:47Well, if you'll excuse me,
01:01:48I am going to go get a pie
01:01:50that you are going to love.
01:01:51And you two are going to help me.
01:02:01All right, you two.
01:02:02What is going on?
01:02:04What are you talking about?
01:02:05Don't give me that.
01:02:06You've been whispering to each other all night.
01:02:07You obviously know Alex.
01:02:09How?
01:02:10It's not important.
01:02:12The man is going to marry my son.
01:02:13If there is something about him I should know,
01:02:15I want to hear it.
01:02:16Now, please.
01:02:17We think we saw him in an adult movie.
01:02:26By adult, you mean complex and sophisticated?
01:02:29No, we mean gay porn.
01:02:32What?
01:02:32We saw this movie Rear Deployment.
01:02:35All the actors played soldiers.
01:02:36Bob likes uniforms, so...
01:02:37Oh, thank you.
01:02:38No, no, no.
01:02:39This can't possibly be true.
01:02:40The man is a doctor.
01:02:41Are you sure?
01:02:43Well, we might be wrong.
01:02:44No.
01:02:45We rented it last month.
01:02:47We paid the late charges.
01:02:49Trust me, that's him.
01:02:58I just don't think they should advertise something
01:03:00with a lifetime guarantee
01:03:01if it's going to break after four months.
01:03:02Or maybe you used your corkscrew
01:03:04as much in four months
01:03:05as most people do in a lifetime.
01:03:06Ever think of it?
01:03:07Your mommy lashes out at people
01:03:11prettier than she is.
01:03:12You ever notice that?
01:03:14Hi.
01:03:15Hey.
01:03:17Hey, Catherine.
01:03:19What a cute top.
01:03:24So, where are you guys off to?
01:03:26Bowling.
01:03:27Come on, buddy.
01:03:27Let's get your jacket.
01:03:29By the way,
01:03:30I don't think you're going to have any problem.
01:03:33I had a little talk with MJ.
01:03:34I'm sure you did.
01:03:35I'm sure you did.
01:03:37What is that supposed to mean?
01:03:38It means things would be a lot easier with MJ
01:03:41if you weren't talking trash
01:03:42about me and Mike dating.
01:03:43What?
01:03:45I don't do that.
01:03:47Really?
01:03:48MJ always liked me before
01:03:49and then I start seeing Mike
01:03:50and suddenly I'm taking incoming Rocky Road.
01:03:54All right, let's go knock over some pins.
01:03:55See you, ladies.
01:03:56Bye.
01:04:03What?
01:04:03I have never said a negative word
01:04:05about them dating, ever.
01:04:07I believe you.
01:04:08It's just,
01:04:09you don't have to say anything.
01:04:11It's the way you act when she's around.
01:04:12Kids pick up on that stuff.
01:04:14What do you mean, the way I act?
01:04:16Oh, Catherine, what a cute top.
01:04:19Kid translation?
01:04:20Have a nice time at the bowling alley
01:04:22with my ex, whore.
01:04:24Okay.
01:04:26It's a little uncomfortable,
01:04:27this whole situation.
01:04:29I mean, if MJ's picking up on it,
01:04:31how am I supposed to fix that?
01:04:32Well, I didn't say anything about fixing it.
01:04:34Two of my friends involved in a nasty cat fight.
01:04:38I live for that stuff.
01:04:41Thanks for the corkscrew.
01:04:42There you go, sweetie.
01:04:54Was that tight enough?
01:04:55I guess.
01:04:56What is going on?
01:05:03Why were you on the phone so long?
01:05:05Um, Susan's coming.
01:05:07What?
01:05:07Why?
01:05:08Well, she wants MJ to see us all
01:05:09having a good time together.
01:05:11That way he might be more accepting of you and me.
01:05:13I suppose it's not a terrible idea.
01:05:15I think it's a good idea.
01:05:17She feels like she's been sending the wrong signals
01:05:19and she wants to make up for it.
01:05:21Well, it's nice of her to try,
01:05:24but just how much of a show
01:05:25was she planning to put on for?
01:05:26Hey, everybody.
01:05:28Are we ready to have the best time ever?
01:05:31Ah!
01:05:40Don't fall down, okay?
01:05:42I'm not carrying your home.
01:05:43I'm fine.
01:05:44Stop worrying.
01:05:45I'm gonna get me.
01:05:46I'm on it!
01:05:49Hey.
01:05:58Look, we just got bailed out.
01:06:02You got a lot of balls, kid.
01:06:04You nail my wife.
01:06:06You break up my family.
01:06:07You burn down my business.
01:06:10I didn't burn down your club.
01:06:12And you can accuse me all you want.
01:06:14I'm not going to jail.
01:06:16If I were you,
01:06:17I'd want to go there.
01:06:20It's a hell of a lot safer.
01:06:22Otherwise, someday,
01:06:23you'll be walking home from school
01:06:25or work
01:06:26or your buddy's house,
01:06:28and you'll just...
01:06:30disappear.
01:06:33Poof.
01:06:35If they ask me about it,
01:06:37you know what I'm gonna tell them?
01:06:39I was at the movies.
01:06:46It's all your freedom.
01:06:56I'm gonna throw it right down the middle.
01:06:58Okay.
01:06:58No better balls.
01:06:59Right.
01:07:01You're getting a long parade, huh?
01:07:02You're welcome.
01:07:03Hey, I admit it.
01:07:04You being here does seem to be helping.
01:07:07You're welcome.
01:07:09Okay, let it go.
01:07:11All right.
01:07:13Look at him.
01:07:15Remember when he needed one of those
01:07:16little kitty balls
01:07:17the size of a cantaloupe?
01:07:19It was getting so big.
01:07:20No.
01:07:21Yeah, that Colts jersey you bought
01:07:22doesn't fit anymore.
01:07:23No.
01:07:24I'm gonna try it.
01:07:30Look at that little peewee
01:07:31we brought back from the hospital
01:07:32turned into this bruiser.
01:07:34Mike, I need you.
01:07:35I got another split.
01:07:37What did I say about aiming the ball?
01:07:39I don't remember.
01:07:40Come show me.
01:07:43Yeah, I'll be right there.
01:07:49Ah!
01:07:50Ah!
01:07:51Ah!
01:07:51Ah!
01:07:52Ah!
01:07:53Ah!
01:07:53Ah!
01:07:54Ah!
01:07:55Ah!
01:08:21Hey there.
01:08:26Do you have a second?
01:08:33Now, where did you get that?
01:08:35Video store I will never return to.
01:08:38Are you aware that one of the stars of this film is...
01:08:41Yes, I know about Alex's movie, Mom.
01:08:44You do?
01:08:45Yeah, he told me a long time ago.
01:08:48He calls it the biggest mistake he's ever made.
01:08:51Why would he...
01:08:51Well, he couldn't afford the tuition to med school.
01:08:54And he was approached by this so-called director.
01:08:57And, well, I...
01:09:00Anyway, I would appreciate it if you didn't let on that you know.
01:09:06Then you're okay with this?
01:09:10Yeah, well, you know, I mean, we both know that I have sort of an interesting past myself.
01:09:16So, you know, glass houses, stones.
01:09:21Not to mention the fact that I love him.
01:09:26Very much.
01:09:30So, he's the one?
01:09:37Yes, Mom.
01:09:38Even with his sordid past, he's the one.
01:09:41Now, why did you bring this here?
01:09:49You're going to marry him.
01:09:51I thought he wasn't being honest with you.
01:09:53I wanted to protect you, so I...
01:09:54So, you decided to meddle in my love life?
01:09:58Yes.
01:10:02You know what, Mom?
01:10:03This might be about the nicest thing you've ever done for me.
01:10:10Where?
01:10:13I mean, not every boy can say that his mother is willing to rent gay porn for them.
01:10:18Yes, which reminds me, that needs to be back by three.
01:10:21Could you...
01:10:21Absolutely.
01:10:22Oh, you've got to avoid those late fees.
01:10:24Oh, you know, um...
01:10:28No, I can have Alex autograph this for you if you want.
01:10:32Just take it back.
01:10:41Oh, Mrs. Elise, may I help you with something?
01:10:48Get your boss.
01:10:49Get your boss.
01:11:19There.
01:11:30You got it back.
01:11:31Wow.
01:11:33Why are you limping?
01:11:34I love a table.
01:11:35Don't want to talk about it.
01:11:36What took you so long?
01:11:50I just wanted to coach Porter a little bit before the arraignment.
01:11:52What's he doing?
01:11:53He needed some time to himself.
01:11:56I'll meet you inside.
01:11:58You might want to give him a moment.
01:11:59I think he's pretty nervous.
01:12:00That's because he's Preston.
01:12:05What?
01:12:09Oh, crap.
01:12:15Hey, Mom.
01:12:16Dad.
01:12:17Hey, Preston.
01:12:19Uh, you know?
01:12:20Of course we know.
01:12:21What the hell is going on?
01:12:22Where's Porter?
01:12:23He took off.
01:12:25What?
01:12:26He was scared out of his mind.
01:12:27He didn't know what to do.
01:12:28So he left town and asked me if I'd help him give him a head start.
01:12:31Do you have any idea how bad this is?
01:12:34We had to post bail.
01:12:35If the judge finds out Porter skipped town, we're going to lose a lot.
01:12:39Guys.
01:12:40Guys.
01:12:40They're calling us.
01:12:41Well, you know what?
01:12:42He's going to find out right now because you are not going in there.
01:12:45I'd rather forfeit the bail than risk having two of my kids go to jail.
01:12:48Tom.
01:12:49No, Bob will just tell the judge what happened.
01:12:51We'll take the hit and we'll go forward.
01:12:52It's just money.
01:12:53It's not just money.
01:12:56What are you talking about?
01:12:58Hey, come on.
01:13:00We're up.
01:13:00Okay.
01:13:06Look.
01:13:10You know how you're always saying I know what to do in a crisis?
01:13:14Here's what we're going to do.
01:13:16You.
01:13:16No questions.
01:13:18You.
01:13:19You're Porter now.
01:13:21Let's go in.
01:13:23Come on.
01:13:24Come on.
01:13:24You like it?
01:13:45It's beautiful.
01:13:48Where'd it come from?
01:13:49I bought it today.
01:13:50It's yours.
01:13:51What?
01:13:52We can't afford this.
01:13:54I sold the baseball.
01:14:01You never told me things have gotten so bad.
01:14:04You were blind and depressed.
01:14:08Didn't want to add to it.
01:14:09Thank you for taking such good care of us.
01:14:20I plan on spending the rest of my life making it up to you.
01:14:22First thing tomorrow I'm selling my watch so I can buy you some new shoes to go with that dress.
01:14:35You should know that watch is a knockoff.
01:14:39I sold the real one two years ago to get the roof fixed.
01:14:46So how is Catherine's foot?
01:14:48Well, she's kind of got a psychedelic toenail, but she'll be fine.
01:14:53She doesn't excuse what you did, mister.
01:14:58What's going on?
01:14:59Sweetie, if you worry that I don't like your daddy spending time with Catherine, don't be.
01:15:04I think it's great.
01:15:05But they can't be together.
01:15:09Why not?
01:15:11Because you and Mommy are getting back together.
01:15:14What?
01:15:15That's what Mommy said.
01:15:21Um...
01:15:21Hey, I've got an idea.
01:15:23Why don't you go make a get-well card for Catherine's foot?
01:15:26Okay.
01:15:27Okay.
01:15:29I can totally explain this, I swear.
01:15:36I'm listening.
01:15:38It was, I don't know, about a month after you moved out.
01:15:41It was bedtime.
01:15:42I was trying to read to him, but he only wanted you.
01:15:45And he was crying so hard.
01:15:48And he kept asking me if you were ever coming back.
01:15:51And so I finally said maybe you would.
01:15:56I just didn't want him to be so sad.
01:15:58Oh, Susan.
01:15:59I didn't even think he remembered it.
01:16:01Of course he remembers it.
01:16:02How could you say that to him?
01:16:04Because we have never said it.
01:16:11What?
01:16:12We've never looked each other in the eye and said that there's no chance we are ever getting back together.
01:16:17Well, okay.
01:16:21Maybe we haven't, but we moved on.
01:16:24Did we?
01:16:25Susan, what are you doing?
01:16:26You're with Jackson now?
01:16:27I'm with Catherine?
01:16:32What are you doing?
01:16:32I don't know.
01:16:36I...
01:16:36You don't ever think about it.
01:16:55I'm going to go check on Catherine.
01:16:56Catherine.
01:16:56Catherine.
01:16:56I'm going to go check on Catherine.
01:16:56I'm going to go check on Catherine.
01:17:02It's an awful thing to live in darkness.
01:17:12Unable to see what others take for granted.
01:17:17But if we are lucky, the darkness lifts.
01:17:21And we can finally see the secret sacrifices made by our wives.
01:17:26Or the unintended consequences of our own actions.
01:17:40But there are those who prefer the darkness.
01:17:45Because there, they see only what they choose to see.
01:17:50I know it must seem like I've forgotten about you.
01:17:55But you have to know, I think about you every day.
01:17:59I live for you.
01:18:00Just like always.
01:18:03But I have a plan.
01:18:04So I hope you can wait a little longer.
01:18:09I'll be with you soon.
01:18:11But first, Mike Delfino has to pay for taking you away from me.
01:18:16And I need just the right moment to do it.
01:18:20He destroyed what I love the most.
01:18:23And I want him to feel that hurt.
01:18:25I want him to lose what I lost.
