00:00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives, a friendship was torn apart.
00:00:05I care about my friends. Sorry you are no longer part of that group.
00:00:08I need to talk to you.
00:00:09What, here?
00:00:10Bree's affair was revealed to Orson.
00:00:14Mona threatened Angie.
00:00:15You've got till tomorrow to come up with the rest of the money or I go to the police.
00:00:18And then tragedy struck.
00:00:21Here we go!
00:00:30I'm at the site of a bizarre accident that happened just hours...
00:00:36If you watch the news tonight, you will be told all about a tragedy that occurred on a quiet suburban street.
00:00:44You will hear eyewitness accounts of the crash.
00:00:48You will learn the extent of the damage.
00:00:51But the news can't tell you who survived.
00:00:55Because no one yet knows.
00:00:58For sure.
00:01:06Oh Susan, thank God you're here.
00:01:08I told my way home I got this text from Julie.
00:01:10She said a plane crashed onto the lane.
00:01:12A single engine plane that had to make an emergency landing.
00:01:15Pilot had a heart attack.
00:01:16Julie said Carl was taken away in an ambulance?
00:01:18Yeah, he's in surgery.
00:01:20How bad is it?
00:01:21He's gonna make it, right?
00:01:23There was a lot of bleeding.
00:01:25The doctors are doing the best they can.
00:01:27You want to sit down here?
00:01:28Have a seat.
00:01:29Here we go.
00:01:32Was anyone else hurt?
00:01:33Orson.
00:01:34And Mona Clark.
00:01:36They're still in surgery.
00:01:37Bree got a little banged up, but the nurse says she's gonna be okay.
00:01:40And little Celia might have a concussion.
00:01:42What happened?
00:01:43The plane was headed straight forward and Lynette ran over and pushed her out of the way.
00:01:47You saved her life.
00:01:48Come on, you would have done the same thing for my kids.
00:01:50It's no big deal.
00:01:51No, Lynette, we owe you everything.
00:01:54So what do we do now?
00:01:56Guess we just wait and pray.
00:01:59I think that's a really good idea.
00:02:12Oh.
00:02:13Lynette, are you okay?
00:02:15I don't know.
00:02:16I just...
00:02:17I have this terrible pain.
00:02:19The truth is, no one knows who survived that tragic plane crash.
00:02:25Oh, Tom, I think there's something wrong with the babies.
00:02:30Or, more importantly, who didn't?
00:02:33Who didn't?
00:02:35Any word about Carl?
00:02:36He's still in surgery.
00:02:37God, I feel like such a hypocrite.
00:02:38After that guy cheated on you, I hated his guts.
00:02:40Never spoke to him again.
00:02:41I don't know.
00:02:42I don't know.
00:02:43I don't know.
00:02:44I don't know.
00:02:45I don't know.
00:02:46I don't know.
00:02:47I don't know.
00:02:48I don't know.
00:02:49I don't know.
00:02:50I don't know.
00:02:51I don't know.
00:02:52Any word about Carl?
00:02:54I was still in surgery.
00:02:56God, I feel like such a hypocrite.
00:02:59After that guy cheated on you, I hated his guts.
00:03:02Never spoke to him again.
00:03:04And I was just in the chapel praying for him.
00:03:09I know what you mean.
00:03:11It was pretty complicated for me, too.
00:03:16With that, Susan began to think of her marriage to Carl.
00:03:22How wonderfully it had started.
00:03:25How they had been so happy.
00:03:31Until the day Susan found lipstick.
00:03:35Where she shouldn't have.
00:03:39Susan then thought of the day she told Carl to leave.
00:03:43And she wondered what if she hadn't.
00:03:51Wait, wait!
00:03:52Don't go.
00:03:53You just kicked me out.
00:03:55I know.
00:03:57I put 12 years of my life into this marriage and we have a daughter.
00:04:04We owe it to Julie to try to work this out.
00:04:06Ah, Susie.
00:04:07Don't touch me.
00:04:09You're still a pig.
00:04:10Okay, so if we are going to put this behind us, I need to know about everyone that you've been with since we've been married.
00:04:20Everyone.
00:04:24I don't think this is a good idea.
00:04:25Carl, I don't want to be wondering, when we go to a party or a restaurant, did he sleep with her?
00:04:31Her.
00:04:32Her.
00:04:33Her.
00:04:34Okay.
00:04:35Well, you found out about Brandy.
00:04:36Yes.
00:04:38It was nice to put the panties with a face.
00:04:41Go on.
00:04:43Before her?
00:04:45Let's see.
00:04:46It was Amber, the dental hygienist.
00:04:50Kwon Lee, the massage lady.
00:04:52Oh, remember when we had cable installed and you wondered why we got so many channels for free?
00:04:59Okay, you know what?
00:05:00Uh, maybe you were right.
00:05:02It's good to have some secrets between a couple.
00:05:03Why don't you just go upstairs and unpack your stuff?
00:05:05I will learn how to swallow my rage.
00:05:09You are not going to regret this.
00:05:10You are not going to regret this.

00:10:12she became so hysterical she had to be sedated by 618

00:14:42what's that mean exactly
00:14:46there's a good chance your husband is paralyzed
00:14:58excuse me can you tell me anything about monoclox condition
00:15:00the doctors they did everything they could but that woman i mean she was hit by a plane

00:15:12pulls through yes your friend's a real fighter she's hanging in there
00:15:16how she got hit by a plane doctors couldn't believe it either i don't know if you're religious but

00:15:35a propeller out of that woman's mouth when she starts yapping get the hell out of here
00:15:44just like that angie boland began to consider what was happening
00:15:49she thought of the doctors trying to save mona and how long it might take her to recover
00:15:56then she imagined mona waking up and telling the police everything
00:16:05she knew and angie asked herself what would happen if mona clark lived
00:16:18how about a little lunch mr luca
00:16:21eggplant parm maybe it's not like the place we used to see you go into in east 10th street but not bad
00:16:27i want to see nick he's a little busy at the moment i just want to talk to him for a couple of
00:16:35minutes as far as the bureau is concerned nick is a traitor get used to it you're never going to talk
00:16:41talk to him again what about danny tyler is with your mother but enough about what you want here's what
00:16:50i want patrick logan
00:17:04you need to be thinking real clear right now we know logan ran everything but without him
00:17:09it's all gonna fall on you i don't know where he is i haven't spoken to him since that night
00:17:16you've been on the run 18 years and you and your former lover don't even exchange a phone call
00:17:21don't take this personally agent padilla but you guys weren't the ones i was running from look i know
00:17:28logan i know how scary he is but i think the situation you're in now is worse
00:17:37then you don't know how scary he is
00:17:39federal sentencing guidelines dictate the punishment in this case there's no room for
00:17:48leniency from the court that being said miss de luca you have indicated that you would like to address
00:17:53the court thank you your honor
00:17:59no one was supposed to get hurt we just believed in something and we wanted to make other people
00:18:06believe in it too but someone that could hurt a man died
00:18:16i read every newspaper article about your husband about sean how he coached little league
00:18:23that the whole neighborhood came to his funeral
00:18:27i never lived in a world like that until we moved to fairview i never felt like a part of a community
00:18:36which made it so much clearer to me how horrible it is that i brought so much pain to you as
00:18:51please rise for sentencing angela de luca you are hereby sentenced to life
00:18:57imprisonment without the possibility of parole marshals remand the prisoner to custody
00:19:06so how is she
00:19:26i'm i'm so sorry
00:19:29she didn't make it i know how upset you must be please don't be angry with god because your
00:19:37prayers weren't answered oh don't worry about it me and god are good
00:19:43i spoke with the doctor they are going to keep her overnight for observation i thought they said she
00:19:59was fine they're just being extra cautious that's all look at her i feel bad even saying it with
00:20:06everything that's happened but we really lucked out huh i don't think it was luck i think it was god
00:20:15actually it was lynette no lynette was his instrument either way it was a hell of a tomb
00:20:21i'm serious i think god saved celia because she's special she has a gift

00:28:04so have you figured out what our four-year-old is going to do with her life no
00:28:07but i did figure out what she has to do to be special what's that
00:28:18absolutely nothing
00:28:26how could this happen i know i fell but i felt fine afterwards it doesn't take much to cause a tear to
00:28:31the placenta but you said the one baby is fine yes but if we don't operate on the other one there could be
00:28:37a decrease in blood flow to the brain which could put the child at risk developmentally
00:28:43at risk how physically mentally right now there's no way to know
00:28:50how soon can we do the surgery we're ready to go let's get her in
00:28:58at that moment lynette began to think of the baby she had yet to meet
00:29:03she thought of what it would be like to hold him
00:29:11how it would feel to look into his eyes
00:29:15and to kiss his tiny hand
00:29:20and then lynette thought of what would happen if the doctor told her
00:29:25that same beautiful child was disabled
00:29:38he especially hates the hamstring stretches
00:29:40well and obviously it's hard to hear him cry but you really need to tune it out because with alpatherapy
00:29:45his muscle tone will you try maybe it's me
00:29:51sometimes it helps to sing together oh i do that i loved it when i do that and the sailor said brandy
00:29:58you're a fine girl what a good wife you would be
00:30:04why don't we take a break
00:30:05maybe we should take some time and talk about where we're at where we're at is we haven't seen
00:30:11any milestones since august not since he finally started grabbing his feet but that was a big one
00:30:18definitely but he should be sitting by now right or pulling to stand or crawling if you worry too much
00:30:26about what he should be able to do by now or what other kids his age are doing it's going to drive you
00:30:31crazy fine i know i keep saying this but try to focus on the progress he's making
00:30:38like what you're with him every day you tell me what do you see
00:30:54would you um excuse us for a second
00:30:57what is it i can't do this can't do what this her the therapy and the injections and the equipment
00:31:07and no one can even tell us if any of it is helping i think it is but even if it isn't this is what
00:31:14there is to do so we're doing it well i can't no you don't want to neither do i neither does he
00:31:21did you hear him crying in there but we don't have a choice so come on gene's gotta go home soon
00:31:27i feel like i'm being punished and i don't even know what i did
00:31:31you can't think that way what else is there to think about hopes for the future he might not even
00:31:37have one he's 14 months don't write him off yet but you should start thinking about the future
00:31:45because no matter what it's coming and it's either going to make you less afraid or more and you will
00:31:51know that you either did everything that you can for your son or you will be sorry
00:32:15it's okay i can do this
00:32:37hi honey can i have a sandwich uh sure i just have to finish these dishes
00:32:45i'm hungry well unless you want soap on rye you're gonna have to wait
00:32:59actually why don't you make yourself a sandwich but you always do it and you always watch me so i
00:33:17know you know how i'm tired so am i i still have to vacuum and do the laundry my arms hurt i had to swim
00:33:26today and you do that so you can get stronger so you can do things like make sandwiches speaking of
00:33:34which in the time we've been arguing about this you could have guessed what made a sandwich
00:33:40so could you jason's mom makes him whatever food he wants even french toast i would be happy to make
00:33:48jason french toast too he always tells me how pretty i am not to mention he's also in a wheelchair so he
00:33:55can't reach the shelves in the fridge but you can too bad you don't appreciate it
00:34:04you're not you're not really busy you just don't want to help me you know what one day i won't be able
00:34:10to help you because i won't be here and then maybe you'll understand why i wanted you to learn to do
00:34:15stuff for yourself or you won't
00:34:26either way i'm not making you a sandwich
00:34:37you're
00:34:48you're
00:34:50Mmmmmmm
00:35:20That looks good.
00:35:27Can I have a bite?
00:35:31When I was born, my doctor told my parents I wouldn't make it through the night.
00:35:37Then through the week.
00:35:40Then it was that I was blind.
00:35:42That I'd need a wheelchair.
00:35:46I guess what I'm saying is...
00:35:49I've really pissed my doctors off.
00:35:56At first, my mother was scared.
00:36:00Scared.
00:36:02My disability.
00:36:04My limitations.
00:36:06I know this because she told me.
00:36:10Then she realized what she was really scared of was my potential.
00:36:15And that she'd missed something that would help me reach it.
00:36:17She said strength does not come from a physical capacity.
00:36:28It comes from an indomitable will.
00:36:32My mother's probably never heard that saying.
00:36:34But every day of my life, she showed me how true it is.
00:36:43Now I...
00:36:44I hope I can start showing her.
00:36:56Thank you all very much.
00:36:58How's our baby?
00:37:15Is he okay?
00:37:15We lost the baby.
00:37:30But...
00:37:31The other baby is fine.
00:37:36It's okay.
00:37:40We're gonna be okay.
00:37:41Okay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:38:10I don't know how to say thank you for saving my child's life.
00:38:22And how sorry I am.
00:38:31We were going to name him Patrick.
00:38:37And he would have been...
00:38:40Amazing.
00:38:48The funeral for Carl Meyer was a dignified affair.
00:38:53Attended by friends and family.
00:38:57And those who loved him.
00:39:00The priest spoke about the nature of tragedy.
00:39:04How it causes people to ask, what if...
00:39:07What if he hadn't died?
00:39:12What if I had chosen differently?
00:39:14What if I had made that mistake?
00:39:20And then the priest said, the best way to honor those who had died was to focus on what was and to keep on living the best way we know how.
00:39:32And in time, that is exactly what my friends would do.
00:39:39Previously on Desperate Housewives.
00:39:44In the wake of a tragedy, a daughter was safe.
00:39:49You saved your life.
00:39:50We owe you everything.
00:39:51Orson was changed.
00:39:52There's a good chance your husband is paralyzed.
00:39:54An unborn twin was gone.
00:39:57We lost the baby.
00:39:58But the other baby is fine.
00:40:01And an ex-husband...
00:40:02Carl didn't make it.
00:40:04Oh my God.
00:40:05...was dead.
00:40:06A month after the death of Carl Meyer, his family assembled for the reading of his will.
00:40:19To each, Carl left something to remember him by.
00:40:24To his great aunt, he left the grand piano.
00:40:27To his favorite cousin, he left gold cufflinks.
00:40:31To his beloved daughter, he left cash and securities.
00:40:37But Carl Meyer left his most extraordinary possession of all.
00:40:41To someone who wasn't expecting a thing.
00:40:45And finally, to my ex-wife, Susan Meyer.
00:40:48Hey, that's me.
00:40:50Oh, I was just here to support my daughter.
00:40:53Seriously, I've been playing hangman on my phone.
00:40:58You were saying?
00:41:00To my dearest Susie Q, who endured my infidelities far longer than she should have.
00:41:05Years of cheating.
00:41:07Betrayals almost from the day we were married.
00:41:09Can we just skip to the part where I get stuff?
00:41:12Oh, don't look at me like that.
00:41:14You got the piano.
00:41:16Well, I was never good at hiding my affairs of the flesh.
00:41:18I'm ashamed to say that I was more successful at concealing some of my financial affairs.
00:41:23What does that mean?
00:41:25I think Dad hid money from you when you were married.
00:41:27Well, it's not money, exactly.
00:41:30It seems your ex-husband was part owner in a business.
00:41:34He was having affairs, ran a law firm, and he owned a secret business.
00:41:40Glad you're finally getting a little rest.
00:41:43Now, he specifically asks that you keep an open mind.
00:41:46It's very successful.
00:41:48Well, if it's so successful, why do I need to keep an open mind?
00:41:53Yes.
00:41:54Carl Meyer left his ex-wife something to remember him by.
00:42:03Not that there was any chance she would forget him.
00:42:06All kinds of men go to the Double D Gentleman's Club.
00:42:26Frat boys looking for a thrill.
00:42:30Soldiers looking to get lucky.
00:42:33CEOs looking to close a deal.
00:42:36Yes.
00:42:37All kinds of men go to Double D's.
00:42:40Which can be very upsetting to all kinds of women.
00:42:46Susan Meyer?
00:42:47Jimbo Rooney, co-owner of Double D's.
00:42:50Look, I was real sad to hear about Carl's passing.
00:42:53He was a good man.
00:42:55And he cared about each and every one of these dancers.
00:42:58I'm sure Carl is always a big supporter of the arts.
00:43:02Uh, so, who do I speak to about selling my share of herpes on parade?
00:43:08Are you sure you want to do that?
00:43:09Now, business has been real good lately.
00:43:11Especially since we started topless karaoke Tuesdays.
00:43:14Well, as lucrative an enterprise as that seems.
00:43:17Take a look around.
00:43:19Have a drink.
00:43:20And then, if you want to sell, you have your lawyer call me.
00:43:23Oh, look at that.
00:43:26You made the O's and Rooney into boobs.
00:43:30Lovely.
00:43:31You like that?
00:43:32Wait till you see my partner Vic's business card.
00:43:34He took the V and he made it into a...
00:43:37I got it.
00:43:38I think I really like that drink now.
00:43:48Oh, um, thanks.
00:43:50But I'm not here for the show.
00:43:51I just found out that I own half this place.
00:43:54Oh, no kidding.
00:43:55Well, nice to meet you.
00:43:56I'm Jennifer Morelli.
00:43:57Right at 10 o'clock, I'm Destiny.
00:43:59Oh, well, I'm Susan Delfino.
00:44:01At 10 o'clock, I'm in a flannel nightgown.
00:44:04Hey, we have a Delfino that comes in here.
00:44:06Really?
00:44:08That's a pretty common name.
00:44:10I think he's a plumber.
00:44:11Really?
00:44:13Well, maybe there's another plumber with that last name.
00:44:16Mike.
00:44:16That's it.
00:44:16Mike Delfino.
00:44:18Tall guy, brown hair, nice smile.
00:44:20Big busted nose?
00:44:22I don't think so.
00:44:23We'll wait till the next time you see him.
00:44:29A TV!
00:44:30You guys didn't have to do that?
00:44:32Yes, we absolutely did.
00:44:33We have a family rule.
00:44:34You save our daughter from being squashed by a plane, you get a 60-inch plasma.
00:44:38And a faux leather remote caddy.
00:44:41Oh, thanks.
00:44:42This is very generous.
00:44:44Please, we could never make up for what you did.
00:44:46Or for how I behaved toward you the past couple of weeks.
00:44:49I was such a bitch.
00:44:50Oh, we both said things.
00:44:51Yeah, but I said a lot worse, a lot louder.
00:44:54Yeah, you did.
00:44:56By the way, I talked to Human Resources, and they are fine with continuing to pay you until the baby is born,
00:45:00and for six weeks after that.
00:45:03Carlos, that's amazing.
00:45:05So will Terrence fill in till I get back?
00:45:07Actually, no.
00:45:07He took the job in Miami.
00:45:09So who's going to take up the slack?
00:45:11Well, I'll put in extra hours, work weekends.
00:45:14Don't worry about it.
00:45:15You focus on that baby.
00:45:16Really?
00:45:17I don't want to have this fall on you.
00:45:19Carlos, we've got to get going.
00:45:20We've got Juanita's interview at Oak Ridge.
00:45:21Oh, right.
00:45:21Lynette, do not worry.
00:45:22I've got your back.
00:45:23But I feel so guilty taking your money and leaving you in the lurch.
00:45:27Hey, I've got a crazy idea.
00:45:29What if I fill in for Lynette?
00:45:32Oh, honey, there in a hurry.
00:45:33No time for jokes.
00:45:33I'm serious.
00:45:35I've done her job.
00:45:36Her pretty damn similar when I was in advertising.
00:45:38I could step in for her until she gets back on her feet.
00:45:40Oh, but that's putting Carlos in an awkward position.
00:45:43I think it's a great idea.
00:45:43Me too.
00:45:45No.
00:45:46No, I think it's a great idea, in theory.
00:45:49But it's just such a complicated job.
00:45:54You don't think I can handle it?
00:45:56No.
00:45:57No, I think you'd be wonderful.
00:46:00Great.
00:46:00It's settled then.
00:46:01Tom, you start tomorrow.
00:46:03There you go, Lynette.
00:46:04Now you have nothing to feel guilty about.
00:46:05Right.
00:46:07Right.
00:46:09Well, thanks again for the TV.
00:46:11You guys have been way too generous.
00:46:16You made scones my favorite.
00:46:19I know.
00:46:20Take as many as you like.
00:46:21So, what did you want to see me about?
00:46:26Well, I wanted to give you this donation for the building fund.
00:46:29And I also have some things in the garage for the rummage sale.
00:46:32And I am also available to run the next Sunday school pancake breakfast.
00:46:37Oh, good heavens, Brie.
00:46:39What a wonderful display of Christian charity.
00:46:42I just want to do my part.
00:46:45Does this have anything to do with the plane crash?
00:46:49In a manner of speaking.
00:46:52Do you want to talk about it?
00:46:54I can't.
00:46:55It would change how you feel about me.
00:46:57Brie, I've known you for years.
00:46:58I don't think that's possible.
00:47:02I had an affair.
00:47:03Are you okay?
00:47:07Um, before you confess a sin that big, just try to wait till I've swallowed.
00:47:15Who was the affair with?
00:47:19Carl Meyer.
00:47:22He was killed in the plane crash, the same one that injured Orson.
00:47:26You must feel terribly guilty about this.
00:47:29I can't eat.
00:47:30I can't sleep.
00:47:31That's why I wanted you to come over here.
00:47:34I have to do something to make this right.
00:47:38Well, seems to me the first step is for you and Orson to get into our marriage outreach program.
00:47:43Well, it's too late for that.
00:47:44We're about to get a divorce.
00:47:46Yes, but this was before Orson was in a wheelchair, right?
00:47:50Well, yes.
00:47:51I think you know what you need to do to atone for this sin.
00:47:55I think you knew it before I walked in the door.
00:47:57You want me to bring Orson home and take care of him?
00:48:01It's just that I'm not sure that I love him anymore.
00:48:07Bree, there's a quote I've always loved.
00:48:12You cannot make yourself feel something that you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
00:48:19I don't remember that from the Bible.
00:48:22It's from Pearl Buck.
00:48:24I am allowed to read other books, you know.
00:48:26Bree, no matter what you feel about Orson, if you don't help him now, you won't be able to live with yourself.
00:48:35Fine.
00:48:37I'll tell Orson tomorrow that I'll bring him home.
00:48:41Good.
00:48:42I think you've had enough.
00:48:50Julie!
00:48:51Hold up.
00:48:52Hey, what's going on?
00:48:53Eddie's doing stand-up at the Chuckle Zone on open mic night.
00:48:58Stand-up?
00:48:59As in comedy?
00:49:00People are always telling me how funny I am, so I decided to give the people what they want.
00:49:05Don't miss out.
00:49:06Got this old riff about airline food.
00:49:07It's gonna kill.
00:49:08Hey, Porter!
00:49:10Hold up!
00:49:12When people tell him he's funny, doesn't he realize they're being funny?
00:49:15Tell me you're going.
00:49:16I can't be the only one there.
00:49:19I'll try.
00:49:20I actually got a pack.
00:49:22My dad left me some money, so I'm going back east to see my cousins.
00:49:25For how long?
00:49:28Until they catch the guy who attacked me.
00:49:30I just don't feel safe here.
00:49:33I get that.
00:49:34Hmm.
00:49:34I've been wanting to ask you something.
00:49:40I heard you were in the hospital because of an overdose.
00:49:46You didn't do that because of...
00:49:50I was dealing with a lot of stuff.
00:49:53Problems with my parents having to move again.
00:49:56I got really lonely.
00:49:57And, yeah, I guess you were part of it.
00:50:04I'm better now.
00:50:07Good.
00:50:09Life has its low points, and we just have to deal with them.
00:50:13Speaking of which, how do we get out of this?
00:50:16Well, your timing is impeccable, because it just so happens that we have an opening right now.
00:50:26Yes, we heard, and we're so excited.
00:50:28Everyone knows that this is the best private school in town.
00:50:30It says here that you've been homeschooling Juanita.
00:50:34How's that been going?
00:50:35It's been so rewarding spending time with my little angel.
00:50:40It breaks my heart to see it end.
00:50:43Anyway, here's her lunch.
00:50:44It's all packed, and we'll pick her up at four.
00:50:47Uh, wait, wait, just a second.
00:50:49There are a few other families on the waiting list before you.
00:50:54Oh, there are?
00:50:56Yes, but Susan Delfino gave you such a glowing recommendation.
00:51:00And to be quite frank, we could use a little more diversity in this school.
00:51:05It's been quite a long time since we've had a little girl of Mexican descent.
00:51:09Ah.
00:51:10Well, we are very proud of our heritage, but Juanita can stand on her own merits.
00:51:14She's very bright.
00:51:15And I know I'm biased, but I do think she's a budding young genius.
00:51:20I'm Mexican?
00:51:25Honey, what did you just say?
00:51:27He called me Mexican.
00:51:29You are Mexican, honey.
00:51:30You know that.
00:51:32Since when I thought we were American.
00:51:36Yes, but our ancestors came from Mexico.
00:51:40Really?
00:51:41So we're like those people who sell oranges on the side of the road?
00:51:46You're busy.
00:51:47We should go.
00:51:48Thank you so very much for your time.
00:51:50And again, we really want to join you here and help you with that diversity thing.
00:51:53So just let us know.
00:51:57Just say it.
00:51:58I don't even know what that means.
00:51:59Just say it.
00:52:01Adios, senor.
00:52:02Dr. Johnson to NICU.
00:52:08Dr. Johnson to NICU.
00:52:10This is fine.
00:52:14Thank you for agreeing to see me.
00:52:16I called a few times, but you didn't pick up.
00:52:19I had no idea.
00:52:20Uh, my phone was in my pants pocket and I had it on vibrate.
00:52:25And as you may have noticed, I...
00:52:28So, how's rehab?
00:52:32Painful.
00:52:33Well, the doctor says with a lot of hard work, you may be able to walk again someday.
00:52:36Yes, they're very upbeat and optimistic.
00:52:39I want to run them over with his chair.
00:52:41So, why are you here?
00:52:45Well, I know we've been through a lot lately, but I decided it would be best for you to come home so I can take care of you.
00:52:51Yes, I'd rather be cared for by a flatulent helper monkey.
00:52:58Orson, I know you're angry, but I'm still your wife.
00:53:00Well, apparently we have very different definitions of the word wife.
00:53:03I'm proceeding with a divorce.
00:53:04I don't understand.
00:53:06Three weeks ago, you were begging me for another chance.
00:53:08What happened?
00:53:09Carl Meyer happened.
00:53:12I could forgive you if you betrayed me with anyone remotely admirable,
00:53:16but you chose the most contemptible man I have ever known.
00:53:20No, Bree, I do not need you.
00:53:34I'm having a ramp built at the house, and I've turned the downstairs study into your bedroom.
00:53:38You're coming home where you belong, and that's all there is to it.
00:53:41You can start forgiving me, and I'll start forgiving you.
00:53:49I suggest you start first.
00:53:54I don't understand.
00:53:55How could you not know you're Mexican?
00:53:57We eat Mexican food all the time.
00:53:59We eat Chinese food, too.
00:54:00Does that mean I'm Chinese?
00:54:01No, that just means your mother hates to cook.
00:54:04Well, apparently we have to spell everything out for you.
00:54:12You do know you're a girl, right?
00:54:13Gabby.
00:54:13What?
00:54:14Half the women in your family have mustaches.
00:54:16It could be very confusing.
00:54:20Juanita, go inside and play with your sister.
00:54:23And while you're at it, tell her she's Mexican, too!
00:54:28I can't believe it.
00:54:29We had that skull right in our hands.
00:54:31How can we let it get away?
00:54:32The bigger question is, how do we let our daughter grow up thinking she's white?
00:54:36Hey, Mr. and Mrs. O'Leaf.
00:54:38Hey, Parker!
00:54:39Hey, sorry I'm late.
00:54:56I had to pick up some lumber to build that ramp for Orson.
00:54:58Oh, what a good person you are.
00:55:01Hey, I need to pay the paperboy tomorrow.
00:55:03Do you have any cash?
00:55:04I think I got 20 on me.
00:55:05Wouldn't you rather stick it in here?
00:55:13Couldn't we just leave it in the mailbox like we usually do?
00:55:16Oh, I just thought that's the way you do it down at Double D's.
00:55:20Double D's?
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:21Turns out Carl was a part owner and left me a share.
00:55:25By the way, Destiny says hello.
00:55:28Oh, okay.
00:55:30I see where you're going with this.
00:55:32Do you, Mike Delfino?
00:55:34That's what she calls you, you know?
00:55:35Because that's my name.
00:55:37No one hanging from a pole should know your name.
00:55:41Susan, that place is one of my accounts.
00:55:43I'm their plumber.
00:55:44And that's it.
00:55:45You go there just to do the plumbing and nothing else.
00:55:48Well...
00:55:49Liar!
00:55:49Destiny said you had a beer there the other night.
00:55:52Okay.
00:55:53Sometimes when I finish the job, I'll have a beer.
00:55:56And you never look at the girls.
00:56:00It's, it's, it's completely innocent.
00:56:02I, I, I don't buy that.
00:56:04I want to see the completely innocent look you have when Destiny shakes her tassels in your face.
00:56:09Okay, so I've gone to a strip club.
00:56:12Are we going to laugh about this or are you going to make it a thing?
00:56:14Well, I am leaning towards thing.
00:56:16Fine.
00:56:17If it bothers you that much, next time I finish a job there, I'll come right home.
00:56:20Oh, you don't have to worry because you will not be working there anymore.
00:56:25I forbid it.
00:56:27You forbid it?
00:56:29God, what kind of marriage is this?
00:56:31The kind where the husband wants to look at strippers and the wife forbids it.
00:56:36Susan, I love you.
00:56:39I have never cheated on you and I never will.
00:56:43But you're not going to tell me what I can or can't do.
00:56:48Let me get this straight.
00:56:50You forbid Mike from going to a strip club?
00:56:53I know it was a little heavy-handed, but I just can't stand those places.
00:56:57Oh, what's the big whoop?
00:56:58Carlos takes clients to the strip club all the time.
00:57:00I've been to one.
00:57:02The Ass Menagerie.
00:57:04It was my brother's bachelor party.
00:57:06The stripper named Cinnamon gave me a lap dance.
00:57:09Luckily, if I squinted just enough, she'd look like a young Ricky Schroeder.
00:57:12See, this is the reason men go to those places.
00:57:15So they can fantasize.
00:57:16We all do it.
00:57:17You fantasize about other men when you're with Carlos?
00:57:19Honey, Carlos has been so many different men.
00:57:21I'm actually surprised when I open my eyes and it's Carlos.
00:57:25Want to know who I fantasize about?
00:57:27No, not necessarily.
00:57:28Anyone want more wine?
00:57:30Tom Scavo.
00:57:31Wine.
00:57:32Fourth of July barbecue.
00:57:34Those tan shorts.
00:57:35Oh, I am there right now.
00:57:39Okay, could we please get back to the issue at hand?
00:57:42Look, bottom line is you cannot forbid a man to go to strip clubs.
00:57:45And don't expect him to understand why it bothers you that's just the way they are.
00:57:48Right?
00:57:51Sorry, I was just imagining Ricky Schroeder wearing Tom Scavo's shorts.
00:58:02Are you sure you want to just give away your CDs?
00:58:05The more you take, the less I have to pack.
00:58:07In fact, is there anything else you want?
00:58:09Anything?
00:58:12Okay, how about Danny Bolan?
00:58:15Uh, he's not really mine to give.
00:58:17Come on, he's totally into you.
00:58:20Which is a complete mystery to me.
00:58:23You know what?
00:58:24I think I'm just going to keep my CDs.
00:58:26Okay, I didn't mean it like that.
00:58:27It's just, you don't seem interested and I have sent every signal I can think of.
00:58:32Why are you so hung up on Danny?
00:58:33Hello, he's hot.
00:58:36Okay, here's the thing.
00:58:37Danny's in kind of a fragile place right now.
00:58:40He really doesn't need to get his heart broken.
00:58:42I'm not going to snag him just to toss him aside.
00:58:45I don't use people, Julie.
00:58:48Okay, I used some people.
00:58:52But I wouldn't use him.
00:58:55Are you sure?
00:58:56Yeah.
00:58:58I think we have a lot in common.
00:58:59And if he'd just spend a little time with me, he'd realize that.
00:59:06You like stand-up comedy?
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:08Too bad.
00:59:09We're going to go see Eddie.
00:59:16Hey, honey.
00:59:17Hey!
00:59:17Sorry I'm late.
00:59:19How was work?
00:59:21Crazy.
00:59:21I had three conference calls and a two-hour client meeting with Gary Danner.
00:59:27Oh.
00:59:27How was your day?
00:59:29Even crazier.
00:59:30I peed twice in every bathroom in the house.
00:59:33What's that?
00:59:34Oh, little matching outfits for the twins that people gave us.
00:59:38I thought I'd give them to charity.
00:59:40I ran into the Petersons today.
00:59:44They just heard.
00:59:46I wanted to see how you were.
00:59:47Mm.
00:59:49So, Gary Danner.
00:59:51He's a prickly SOB.
00:59:55Tell me about it.
00:59:57Check out this proposal I worked up on.
01:00:02Hmm.
01:00:04What do you mean, hmm?
01:00:05I'm glad you showed this to me.
01:00:06I know, Danner.
01:00:07And trust me, you do not want to go down this road.
01:00:10Why not?
01:00:10Don't worry, I can fix it.
01:00:12Where's the pen?
01:00:12Honey, actually, I showed it to Danner today.
01:00:16He loved it.
01:00:18Gary Danner liked this?
01:00:19No, he loved it.
01:00:21But not as much as Carlos.
01:00:22He told me it was the best written proposal he has ever seen, bar none.
01:00:28What's for dinner?
01:00:30Halo.
01:00:34What's wrong?
01:00:35Nothing.
01:00:36It's just, well, that's quite a compliment.
01:00:39Yeah.
01:00:40Not to mention a bit of a slam on the work that I did.
01:00:42No, he's just encouraging me.
01:00:44I don't think he was thinking about you at all.
01:00:46Oh.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:48By the way, this meatloaf, the best I have ever tasted.
01:00:53Bar none?
01:00:54Hmm?
01:00:54Just eat.
01:00:55Wow, it's coming along beautifully.
01:01:05Thanks.
01:01:06So, uh, when's Orson coming home?
01:01:08Oh, uh, it's still a bit up in the air.
01:01:11But I guess now would be a good time to call him and let him know we're almost ready.
01:01:18Uh, yes.
01:01:19Orson Hodges' room, please.
01:01:21Would you stop hammering for a moment?
01:01:23He's checked out?
01:01:28But that's impossible.
01:01:29Where would he have gone?
01:01:31Mike, please.
01:01:32It's not me.
01:01:37Never mind.
01:01:38I think I found him.
01:01:43Oh, boy.
01:01:44The fetch and the fire now.
01:01:47What is going on here?
01:01:48The husband you're divorcing has found new digs.
01:01:51Before you jump down my throat, Roy and I are on fixed incomes.
01:01:55You can't blame us for taking in a border.
01:01:57Especially one who can't get to the second story.
01:01:59That's our naked floor.
01:02:00What are you doing here?
01:02:11Enjoying my new home.
01:02:13It's rather quaint.
01:02:15Once you get used to the smell of denture cream and scotch.
01:02:20Oh, don't mind me.
01:02:22Just making sure you don't slap a guy in a wheelchair.
01:02:24So, how are you planning to pay your rent?
01:02:29Well, I'm a bit cash-strapped at the moment.
01:02:31But Karen knows I'm good for it.
01:02:33Yeah, once he gets his divorce settlement, he's writing me a big, fat check.
01:02:37So, how long are we talking?
01:02:39A month?
01:02:40Two?
01:02:41There will be no divorce.
01:02:43And if he tries to file for one, there will be delays, motions, and appeals.
01:02:46It could take years for him to ever see a dime.
01:02:49Your wife loves you. Go home.
01:02:55Bree, stop right now. Do you hear me?
01:03:01So, am I taking down the ramp?
01:03:03Leave it. You'll need it soon enough.
01:03:07Almost home, dear.
01:03:08Mike, call the police. My wife is holding me hostage.
01:03:12You've all been there, big guy.
01:03:19Lynette?
01:03:20I had an appointment with my OB around the corner, and I just thought I'd stop by and say hi.
01:03:24Oh.
01:03:26I also wanted to thank you for being so nice to Tom, our little temp.
01:03:31How's he doing?
01:03:33He's amazing.
01:03:36It's okay, Carlos. You can tell me the truth.
01:03:39He's knocking my socks off. Everybody is so impressed.
01:03:42Well, good. Good, good, good. I'm so proud of him.
01:03:47But when I drop this kid, Tom's out on his ass, right?
01:03:51Excuse me?
01:03:52I love him, and I'm glad he's doing well here, but this is my job.
01:03:57At some point, I'm going to want it back.
01:04:00And I say that as the woman who dove in front of a spinning propeller to save your child's life.
01:04:07Of course, this is your job.
01:04:10And you can have it back anytime you want.
01:04:14Well, that's all I needed to hear.
01:04:17It's just that I was under the impression you were planning to stay at home with your baby.
01:04:25And why would you be under that impression?
01:04:29That's what Tom said.
01:04:32What exactly did Tom say?
01:04:36Lynette, I really don't want to get in the middle of this.
01:04:39Now, as I saved a member of your family, it doesn't mean I can't take another one out.
01:04:46And you can train a dog to do almost anything, but you can't do with cats and cats.
01:04:52And did you ever try to get a cat to fetch?
01:04:53They're like, you know, they won't do it.
01:04:56Stupid cats.
01:04:58Am I right, people?
01:04:58Well, hey, you guys have been great.
01:05:04Good night.
01:05:06Give it up for Eddie Orlovsky.
01:05:08Come on, folks.
01:05:10So, what do you think?
01:05:16I never realized there were so many differences between dogs and cats.
01:05:19That's why I'm the comic, babe.
01:05:24I'm off to get my free drink.
01:05:32Porter, I left my jacket in the car.
01:05:35Walk me out.
01:05:35Jacket?
01:05:36It's hot as hell in here.
01:05:40Now I feel a chill.
01:05:41Hmm.
01:05:41Um, I gotta use a bathroom.
01:05:55Okay, what is your problem?
01:05:57Excuse me?
01:05:58Whenever we're alone together, you find some reason to bail.
01:06:02Why aren't you into me?
01:06:04Honor, there's not a lot of room to be into you because of how much you're into you.
01:06:09You did not just call me conceited.
01:06:11Chill.
01:06:12It's not like I asked you to spill it.
01:06:15I'm not stupid.
01:06:16And I am definitely not the attention whore at this table.
01:06:21I heard about your little stunt with the pills.
01:06:26Okay, that was mean.
01:06:28I'm sorry that I said that.
01:06:32Don't be sorry.
01:06:33You're right.
01:06:39I like the blunt honor.
01:06:41More than the cute one.
01:06:46So, you think I'm cute?
01:06:55You're home.
01:06:56Perfect timing.
01:06:58Margaritas, what's the occasion?
01:06:58We're getting drunk.
01:07:00Mexican style.
01:07:01Principal Hobson just called.
01:07:03And Juanita got accepted to Oak Ridge.
01:07:05Seriously.
01:07:06I am free from homeschooling.
01:07:08No more fighting.
01:07:09No more threats.
01:07:10And no more parent-teacher conferences with you.
01:07:12Come on, start guzzling.
01:07:19I don't think she should go.
01:07:28Huh?
01:07:28I've been thinking about it all day.
01:07:30Let's keep her in public school.
01:07:31We can't.
01:07:32She was expelled.
01:07:33I made some calls.
01:07:34Jefferson Elementary can take her.
01:07:35That's way out in Mount Pleasant.
01:07:37Yeah, and there's a lot of Latino families that live in that area.
01:07:39So what?
01:07:40We have a much better school right here in our backyard.
01:07:43I'm not schlepping way over there just so she can be with those people.
01:07:48Those people?
01:07:49Don't you mean our people?
01:07:51Our people are the rich private school people.
01:07:55Oh my God, I know exactly what is going on here.
01:07:58What?
01:07:59You are ashamed of being Mexican.
01:08:02Oh, that's insane.
01:08:03No, it totally makes sense.
01:08:04All of our friends are white.
01:08:06You didn't want me to teach the girls Spanish.
01:08:08Because I don't understand it.
01:08:09I didn't want you guys plotting behind my back.
01:08:11And when we bought this house and I said we would be the only Mexicans in the neighborhood,
01:08:14do you remember what you said?
01:08:16Fine by me?
01:08:17You're right.
01:08:17It's my fault.
01:08:18I should have told the realtor, forget square footage in Central Air.
01:08:21Find us something next door to a mariachi bar.
01:08:23Deny it all you want.
01:08:24You are a self-hating Mexican.
01:08:26Oh yeah?
01:08:27Well, you're a self-wiping Mexican.
01:08:28What does that mean?
01:08:39Hey, you.
01:08:40Traffic was insane.
01:08:43Is there any dinner left I haven't eaten since lunch?
01:08:46Everything okay?
01:08:50I talked to Carlos today.
01:08:53About what?
01:08:55He was under the impression that when I have this baby, I'll be staying home with her.
01:09:01Where would he get a crazy idea like that?
01:09:04I told him.
01:09:05I told him.
01:09:07Wow.
01:09:08You're not even denying it?
01:09:09I thought it might be in your best interest.
01:09:12Seriously?
01:09:14You know how much that job means to me.
01:09:17You know how much I hate being a stay-at-home mom.
01:09:20How could you think I'd be okay with this?
01:09:23Because we lost a baby.
01:09:31Honey, I thought you might want to stay home with this one.
01:09:35Because she's all the more precious given what happened.
01:09:37Oh.
01:09:41So that's how I'm supposed to feel.
01:09:43I don't know how you feel, Lynette, because you never talk about it.
01:09:48It's been a month.
01:09:49Every time I try to bring it up, you just change the subject.
01:09:52Because I'm dealing with it.
01:09:53But shouldn't we be dealing with it together?
01:09:55You want to talk about this?
01:09:56Yes.
01:09:57Fine.
01:09:57We lost a kid.
01:09:58We'll never meet him.
01:09:59We'll spend the rest of our lives looking at one, always wondering why there aren't two.
01:10:03How can saying this out loud be helpful?
01:10:05You're right.
01:10:12It's not.
01:10:17You win.
01:10:19After you have the baby, go back to your job.
01:10:31You want me to fix you something?
01:10:35I'm not.
01:10:36I'm not hungry anymore.
01:10:43Fire in the hotel, this lady's don't work for the break.
01:10:50You're running?
01:10:52Oh, hey, Mike.
01:10:53Long time no see.
01:10:54Yeah, I got the call about your job being backed up.
01:10:56What?
01:10:57Now, our bathrooms are working just fine.
01:10:59Yeah.
01:10:59Some woman called and said it was an emergency.
01:11:03I'm sorry, man.
01:11:05I don't know what to tell you.
01:11:06All right.
01:11:07It's time to introduce our newest Double D doll, Miss Fix-It.
01:11:12What the hell?
01:11:23What the hell?
01:11:29Susan!
01:11:31Mike!
01:11:31What are you doing here?
01:11:33What the hell are you doing?
01:11:34Oh, wow.
01:11:36Since I'm one of the owners, I figured I should really learn the business from my bottom up.
01:11:43And you mind?
01:11:45I'm trying to make a deposit here.
01:11:48Will you come down from there right now?
01:11:51Why?
01:11:51I'm just looking.
01:11:53It's completely innocent, right?
01:11:54Well, sit down.
01:11:59I didn't tell you this in the back of your head.
01:12:02This is not funny.
01:12:04Oh, I can't talk.
01:12:05I've got a room full of Neanderthals to entertain.
01:12:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:13What are you doing?
01:12:14Just giving people what they want.
01:12:18Don't you dare.
01:12:19Susan, I'm serious.
01:12:20I want you off of that stage right now.
01:12:23Wait.
01:12:23Are you forbidding me from doing something?
01:12:27I thought we didn't have that kind of marriage.
01:12:29Very cute.
01:12:29But if I had to, I will carry you out of here myself.
01:12:33Oh, what exactly is the problem like?
01:12:36Ow!
01:12:43Okay, I get it.
01:12:44I will never come back here.
01:12:47Let's go home.
01:12:53Mrs. Fix-It.
01:12:56Wait, wait.
01:12:56I got my tips.
01:12:57I'm sorry.
01:13:27What are you looking at?
01:13:31Nothing. Just some old photos.
01:13:35I didn't know you had these.
01:13:39I couldn't afford frames, so my dad would put these on the wall with tape.
01:13:43Is that you?
01:13:47Yeah. I was about five.
01:13:51You're cute. But that tool shed's seen better days.
01:13:55That was our house.
01:13:59Wow.
01:14:03It's funny. I'm smiling
01:14:07in all these photos, but I hated
01:14:11that town. Everybody was so poor.
01:14:15Everybody was Mexican.
01:14:19Back then I thought they were the same thing.
01:14:23And even though I was only five, I knew I wanted out.
01:14:31You can call it self-loathing, Carlos, but
01:14:33I just don't want my kids to ever know I lived like that.
01:14:43That's your dad.
01:14:45Yeah.
01:14:47He was so strong.
01:14:49I would run to meet him when he'd come home from working in the factories
01:14:53and he'd lift me up on his shoulders.
01:14:55I loved that.
01:14:59I bet he did too.
01:15:01He used to ask him,
01:15:05Papa, why do you work so much?
01:15:07And he would say,
01:15:09so one day we can live in a beautiful house.
01:15:11And we never did.
01:15:15But you do now.
01:15:25Your father had dreams, Gabby.
01:15:27But they were for you and he sacrificed a lot to get you here.
01:15:31Whatever our children achieve in life,
01:15:35it's because of dreams that started on the shoulders of a proud, strong Mexican man.
01:15:43That is why I want our kids to know where they came from.
01:15:47I want that too.
01:16:09So, um, how do your physical therapists think you're doing?
01:16:15Do they think you're making progress?
01:16:26Orson, it's been three days.
01:16:27You're gonna have to talk to me sometime.
01:16:31I know what you're doing, Esprit.
01:16:34Reverend Sykes stopped by to check on my progress.
01:16:37He was very proud of himself for convincing you to take me on as charity work.
01:16:42It's not charity work.
01:16:44It's not charity work.
01:16:46When I had that affair, I didn't just betray you.
01:16:48I betrayed my faith as well.
01:16:50So please, you have to let me help you or I am the-
01:16:53Or you won't get into heaven?
01:16:58Didn't realize how much this means to you.
01:17:03I guess I can find a way to be happy.
01:17:05Thank you so much, Orson.
01:17:09I'm gonna take such good care of you.
01:17:15By the way, my soup is cold.
01:17:18Oh.
01:17:19Well, mine is hot.
01:17:22You can have this.
01:17:23While you're up, could you get me a glass of wine?
01:17:35Yes, of course.
01:17:37And perhaps for dessert, some of your delicious creme brulee.
01:17:42Orson, that takes over an hour to prepare.
01:17:44Well, I would do it myself, but-
01:17:56Oh, and we're out of vanilla beans.
01:18:00You might have to run to this door.
01:18:14The act itself is quite simple.
01:18:27You strip away the outer layer and reveal what's underneath.
01:18:32Of course, sometimes the results can be quite surprising.
01:18:39If you strip away the veneer of happy domesticity,
01:18:42you may find grief.
01:18:46If you strip away that facade of wealth,
01:18:50you may find self-loathing.
01:18:54If you strip away the veil of helplessness,
01:18:58you may find cruelty.
01:19:04Yes, stripping can be a dangerous pastime.
01:19:07But for a lucky few, it can also be a lot of fun.
01:19:19Good afternoon.
01:19:20If you are a saint-eat a wonderful man,
01:19:21the map of defeat,
01:19:22let's keep the color hurt.
01:19:23If you are a saint-eat a new one,
01:19:24you can simply ding up your name and see if you are a new one.
01:19:26That will be a little bit better.
01:19:29The sign-eat a new one-to-one.
01:19:31Yes.
01:19:33The sign-eat a new one-to-one.
01:19:36Yes.
01:19:38It invariably, today,
01:19:40the sign-eat a new one-to-one.
