00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives...
00:03Ladies.
00:04Renee was charmed by the new neighbor.
00:07Dibs.
00:08Trying to protect Gabby, Carlos committed murder.
00:11We are never going to be able to tell anybody about this.
00:14Are you going to be able to live with that?
00:16And the women swore to keep the secret.
00:19But then Brie received a warning.
00:23When I was alive, Brie Vandekamp was one of my closest friends.
00:34Maybe that's because we had so much in common.
00:38Like Brie, I also received a menacing letter.
00:43One that threatened to shatter the perfect life I had worked so hard to create.
00:49You see, I had once committed a desperate act of my own.
00:55And despite my best efforts to conceal it,
00:59someone found out and was determined to expose me.
01:04I thought about telling my friends.
01:08But I decided not to burden them.
01:12I had hoped that with one final act I could consign my deeds to history.
01:18But I had forgotten that history has a way of repeating itself.
01:25Something interesting?
01:31No.
01:33No, just a letter from a friend who I haven't heard from in a while.
01:39You okay?
01:41I'm fine.
01:43I'm just annoyed because the postman left me Gabby's water bill again.
01:49You go in. I'll just put it back in the box.
01:52All right.
01:54Oh, Karen. You scared me. What are you doing out so late?
02:12What am I, a cat? I'm allowed to be out past ten.
02:15I'm sorry. Have you seen anyone near my mailbox?
02:19What's the problem?
02:21I just got a letter.
02:24An obscene letter.
02:26That's all?
02:27You gotta be happy that someone still finds you obscene.
02:30Last week, I got called sir three times.
02:33Karen, this is serious.
02:34I need to find out who put this letter in my mailbox.
02:37Why, you're really shaken up?
02:39Yes, I am.
02:41This is very upsetting and I don't know what I'm going to do.
02:44It's just a note, Brie. Let it go.
02:51Yes, Brie Vandekamp and I had so much in common.
02:56We shared similar lives.
02:59And now Brie found herself praying that we wouldn't share a similar fate.
03:05In the divided world of the suburbs, everyone is looking for a way to connect.
03:23They fend off loneliness with casual conversation.
03:27They share old treasures with a young friend.
03:34They help a neighbor make a difficult move.
03:39But for Carlos and Gabby Solis, the only connection that mattered was the romantic one.
03:46And when it came to maintaining it, Gabby was willing to pull out all the stops.
03:54What are we celebrating?
03:56A new record.
03:57It's been 38 days since we last had sex and that streak is ending tonight.
04:01Seriously, it's been that long?
04:0238 days.
04:04That's like three years in hoo-ha time.
04:07Sweetie, I would love to, but I have way too much work to do.
04:10Uh-uh. No, no. No excuses.
04:12I changed the sheets, shaved my legs, and dumped the kids at McCluskey's.
04:16So drop your pants, cowboy, and saddle up.
04:20Yes, ma'am.
04:21Ah!
04:30Don't feel bad. It happens to lots of men.
04:33Not me. Not us.
04:38Well, it has been 38 days. Maybe the poor little guy forgot what to do.
04:41Not helping.
04:44Listen, you've been under a lot of stress lately, so relax.
04:48How about I give you a nice massage, we finish the champagne, and later we try again.
04:52Gabby, thanks, but it's not gonna work, okay?
04:54Like Carlos, Susan Delfino was also feeling disconnected.
05:07Her guilt made the world a strange and scary place.
05:12Where she could be exposed at any moment.
05:19Hey! Hold it right there!
05:23I know what you did.
05:25What?
05:26Yeah, and you're not getting away with it.
05:28You thought you could walk out with a case of soda and no one would notice?
05:30Oh!
05:34I forgot those were down there.
05:37Yeah, right. I've never heard that one before.
05:39Ma'am, I'm gonna ask you to step away from the cart and keep your hands where I can see him.
05:43Everything okay here?
05:44You should consider larceny, okay?
05:46Mrs. Delfino, on behalf of Fairview Market, I'd like to apologize for Kevin.
05:51It seems we're all paying the price for his rejection from the police academy.
05:55Well, excuse me for not wanting to live in a world where people can commit crimes without suffering the consequences.
06:00You are a criminal.
06:02I've known Mrs. Delfino for years.
06:06She pays for the grapes she eats in the produce section.
06:09She would never do anything bad.
06:11Sure, I would.
06:13What?
06:15You don't know me at all.
06:17I'm a very bad person. I did a horrible thing.
06:20I deserve to be punished.
06:22Let me cuff her. I have cuffs. I brought them from home.
06:24No one's getting cuffed. Just pay for the soda next time you come in.
06:28No, no, no. No, you need to march me inside and make me pay now.
06:32Mrs. Delfino.
06:33I'm serious.
06:35Make an example of me to deter other criminals.
06:42Fine. Take her in.
06:43Copy that.
06:45Yep. Did the crime. Doing the time.
06:49Dead man walking.
06:50Dead man walking.
06:56So, what's the damage? An arm and a leg? Just an arm?
06:59Not even a finger. It's a cracked fitting. I swapped it out. It's no charge.
07:03Really? The first guy I called said I had to re-pipe the whole house.
07:06No, that's a scam. He's piped your top of the line copper. The guy that put him in did a great job.
07:10How do you know?
07:12It was me.
07:14You just saved me ten grand. No wonder people say such good things about you.
07:17Well, I'm what our neighbor's for. Anything else is holler.
07:23Actually, there is one thing.
07:26I'm a real estate developer. About to break ground on a new project.
07:31And I'm looking for some help. Local guys that I can trust.
07:35You interested?
07:36Hey, Mike. Got a minute?
07:48Um, hey, Renee.
07:50We're friends, right?
07:52Well...
07:53Oh, come on. You fixed my toilet for free.
07:55Um, that wasn't free. I sent you a bill. You just haven't paid it.
07:58Anyway, look. Here's the deal. Ben likes me. He just doesn't know it yet.
08:10Now, I need to find that thing that we connect on.
08:13You've been on the inside. What can you tell me about it?
08:16Well, he's got copper pipes.
08:18Something personal.
08:20I saw a box of Cheerios.
08:22And a coffee maker. He must like coffee. Unless it's for guests.
08:26Oh, my God. I got more out of the cable guy. And he's deaf.
08:29Does he have any photos? Artwork? Thank Delfino. Thank!
08:33Okay. Okay. Um...
08:35There was this plaque from the mayor. Something about his work with the elderly.
08:39Really? He likes the elderly?
08:41Well, I like the elderly.
08:45Since when?
08:47Old people are adorable.
08:49I love their little raisin faces and those tennis balls they put on their walkers.
08:54Thanks. But the tip...
08:56Friend.
09:02Mom!
09:03Hey! How was your day?
09:04Awesome. Dad's hotel is so cool.
09:06We went swimming in the pool and played Marco Polo and Cannonballed off the diving board.
09:09And why don't we have a pool?
09:11And then we got hamburgers and french fries and super-sized charcoal slushies.
09:14Ah! Sugar and caffeine. I guess you figured they were too young for meth.
09:19It's just a slushie.
09:20On a school night, she's gonna be up till 2am just cause you couldn't say no.
09:24Your pool is out of proportion.
09:25Who wants to play Mega Monopoly? It's just like regular Monopoly but with more stuff.
09:29You just keep playing and playing and playing and playing and playing.
09:32Yeah. Way out of proportion.
09:34Look, now that we're really separated, I refuse to be the bad guy all the time.
09:38You have got to learn to say no.
09:40I say it?
09:42Tonight when we walked past the pet shop, they wanted a spider monkey.
09:45I said no.
09:46I'm serious. Things are different now.
09:48I'm not gonna let this be the house of pain while you're living it up at the MTV Beach House.
09:53You're right. Things are different now.
09:56For instance, I used to have to stand here and listen to this.
09:59But now I'm thinking...
10:01No.
10:05Hey, look at that. I'm getting pretty good at this no thing.
10:08It's bad enough when we weren't even trying to have sex, but to try and fail?
10:20Do you think it might have something to do with the stress Carlis is under?
10:23We are all under stress. You know what's stressful is not having sex for 39 and a half days.
10:26You're sounding a little callous.
10:30I don't mean to. It's just sex is important to us.
10:33Even in our toughest times, it's what always held us together.
10:36If we don't have that, I'm worried what will happen to us.
10:38I get that.
10:40So, come on girls.
10:42How can I spice things up in the bedroom?
10:45Is this actually happening?
10:47Gabrielle Solis is asking us for sex tips?
10:49I know. It's the apocalypse.
10:51Well, if you don't mind harsh lighting and blatant misogyny, you can always watch a porno.
10:56Watched one. Filmed one. Next.
10:58This may shock you, but sometimes Mike and I like doing it in public.
11:04Huh. Those of us who wandered by Santa's workshop at the Christmas carnival? Not that shocked.
11:09You could try and role playing.
11:11Once I dressed up in a French maid's costume and Orson pretended to be a stubborn stain and why is everybody looking at me?
11:17Seriously guys, I need some new moves.
11:20Well, there's this one mom at school and I promised I wouldn't use her name, Betty Cunningham, who hired a stripper to teach her how to give her husband a lap dance.
11:28Well, I don't know what a stripper could teach me, but it's worth a shot.
11:31You really think that's going to work?
11:33Why wouldn't it?
11:36Because I get where Carlos is coming from. This kind of guilt can really mess with your head.
11:44Something you want to talk about?
11:47Okay, the other day I accidentally took a case of soda from the supermarket and the security guard started yelling at me and at first I was like, no, but then I was like, yes, I deserve it. I deserve to be punished. It felt right to be publicly humiliated like that. And why is everybody looking at me?
12:03Because there's a bucket of crazy where your head used to be.
12:07So now I'm crazy. I thought you said I could talk to you about this stuff.
12:12You can. And we appreciate what you're grappling with, but you cannot go around attracting attention like that. It's not safe.
12:21Exactly. So knock it off and go get me some more coffee!
12:24Mom, she likes to be yelled at.
12:32Hey, you.
12:34I thought you were at work.
12:36I pronounced the city of Fairview safe enough to have lunch with my girl.
12:41Oh, that would be lovely, but I have something I need to do. Shoot.
12:47Oh yeah? Like what?
12:49What?
12:51Unless it's a big secret.
12:56Is it a big secret?
12:57Chuck!
13:01I'm sorry. You're right. I...
13:04You don't owe me any explanations.
13:08I just... I just need to know that we're okay.
13:11Chuck.
13:13My feelings for you have not changed. Just my schedule for the day.
13:18Well, that's good. Because suspicion can be a great trade in police work, but it's horrible in a relationship.
13:23Just ask my ex. I never want to be that guy again.
13:48Hello there, Karen.
13:50Karen?
13:51What happened to Liver Spot or Six Feet Under or one of your other cute nicknames?
13:56No, no. I can't come in. I'm just dropping off another home-cooked meal.
14:01What meal? What the hell are you yelling for?
14:04Just lift the napkin.
14:06Fifty bucks. What's the catch?
14:09Don't look now, but do you see Ben over there?
14:15Subtle.
14:16Anyway, he has a soft spot for old people, and as far as he knows, so do I.
14:22No, no. Your crinkled little smile is thanks enough for me.
14:27Are you penning me?
14:28Just say nice things about me to Ben. Tell him I bring him meals, that kind of stuff.
14:34Well, it's a pretty big favor for fifty bucks.
14:37Considering I don't like you, I'll do it for a hundred.
14:40Fine. Tomorrow I'll bring you a C-note in a Jell-O-Mole deal.
14:44Oh, Renee, bless your heart, you're so good to me.
14:47No, you're the one who enriches my life. The joy I get...
14:52Hands off, he's gone.
14:53Oh, my God. You think I sent this?
15:02You have any idea how this makes me feel?
15:04Forgive me. I didn't think it was possible to damage the self-esteem of a murderer.
15:08A confessed murderer. And this? This is the only way you can see me?
15:13Oh! Oh!
15:18Please.
15:24I'm sorry. I've just been so panicked since I got it.
15:27It has the exact same wording as the letter Mary Alice received.
15:31Yes.
15:33That's very weird.
15:37But why are you so worked up about it?
15:39I believe Mary Alice got a little worked up when she got hers.
15:42But she was hiding something. You weren't.
15:47Right?
15:49Of course not.
15:50It's obviously just a cruel prank, but I still want to know who's responsible.
15:56It had to be someone who knew about the original note.
15:59Well, let's see.
16:01Obviously, there's Martha Huber.
16:03Obviously, she didn't send it.
16:05And there's you, Susan, Lynette, Gabby.
16:08I assume you've already asked them.
16:11Uh, actually, I haven't mentioned it to the girls yet.
16:14I still haven't figured out exactly what it is.
16:18Well, whatever it is, don't keep it to yourself.
16:23If Mary Alice had shared her note with you girls,
16:26things might have turned out a whole different way.
16:30You know, it's recycling day.
16:42So?
16:44So it looks like you're about to put kitchen garbage in your recycling bin.
16:47Oh.
16:48Hope I don't get punished.
16:49Oh, here I am, dropping a turkey carcass with the recycling.
17:00And here I am, not giving a crap.
17:08Uh-oh. You got me.
17:11Can I bum one?
17:12My old lady made me quit.
17:17Seventeen.
17:19Eighteen.
17:21Nineteen.
17:23Thank God.
17:24Those were from last week.
17:34Hello.
17:35Uh, Ben, isn't it?
17:37Yes.
17:39Uh, listen, uh, I was just talking to Mrs. McCluskey.
17:42I've got to say, I really misjudged you.
17:46Oh?
17:47Yeah.
17:48She was telling me all the ways you've helped her.
17:50Well, I like to think I'm doing God's work.
17:52You know, until he takes her in her sleep or what have you.
17:56Now, I don't know if you knew this,
17:58but I'm quite involved with seniors myself.
18:01Well, get out!
18:03Look at us having things in common.
18:05Yeah.
18:07So, is there something else I can help you with?
18:11Actually, yes.
18:13Are you free tonight?
18:18Hey, buddy.
18:19What are you thinking for dinner tonight?
18:20Mexican? Chinese?
18:22Actually, there's a party at Rich Cohen's I was hoping to go to.
18:25Yeah? Don't hope too hard.
18:27Why not?
18:29Remember when Rich turned thirteen?
18:30It was the only bar mitzvah ever shut down by the police.
18:32I don't trust his parents.
18:33Well, if it makes you feel better, they're out of town.
18:36Oh. An unsupervised party? Even better.
18:39We're just going to be eating pizza and watching movies and stuff.
18:41And Rich's older brother will be there.
18:43Perfect. Someone to buy the beer.
18:46So you're saying no? Again?
18:49Uh...
18:50I'm not saying no. I'm saying ask your dad.
18:58Hey! I'm just dropping off a check.
19:00Hang on a sec. Parker has something he wants to ask you.
19:03Parker.
19:05Can I go to a party at Rich Cohen's house tonight?
19:07What did your mom say?
19:09His mom said he should ask his dad.
19:12Oh, well... his parents are going to be there, right?
19:16Nope. No parents.
19:17And... Rich Cohen. Didn't something happen at his bar mitzvah?
19:23Lots of things happened. Drinking. Pot smoking. The Whitaker girl got pregnant.
19:28It sounds like you already made up your mind here.
19:30No, no, no. I have not made up my mind. It is entirely up to you.
19:35You hear that, Dad? Entirely up to you.
19:40Well, it seems like your mom doesn't think this is a good idea.
19:43I didn't say that. I don't not think it's a good idea.
19:45Oh, so you do, do think it's a good idea?
19:48I don't not think it's not... not... a good idea.
19:52Okay, I'm confused.
19:53Well, if your mom's not saying no, I'm not saying no either.
19:55Well, if your dad's not saying no, I'm sure as hell not going to say no.
19:58So is that a yes?
20:00Well, it's not a no. Sweet.
20:03Hmm.
20:10Are you sure this thing is safe?
20:12My son plays fireman on mine all the time. Do you want to see a picture?
20:16Let's not make this sadder than it is.
20:18Alright, so my husband's having a little problem in the bedroom.
20:20With his wiener?
20:22Yes, with his wiener.
20:23Well, you can relax because I'm like a doctor and I see this problem all the time with older women.
20:29Older?
20:31Excuse me, I don't think our ages are that far apart. When were you born?
20:341992.
20:35Me too.
20:36Alright, enough chitchat. Give me a taste of what I'm going to learn here.
20:38Okay, I'll do ya. Let me try.
20:49That was kind of advanced. I was thinking maybe we could start with something simple. Like grinding on a chair.
20:55Will you stop treating me like a grandma? I do yoga and Zumba and kickboxing. I'm in excellent shape.
21:01Okay.
21:06Not bad. Okay, now ass up, legs out, and remember, slow is sexy.
21:15Okay.
21:17A little harder than it looks.
21:19No worries. You'll pick it up in no time. Six months tops.
21:22What? I can't wait that long. I need your moves, your body.
21:27My ass, but basically I need to be you by tonight.
21:31Hey, what are you doing tonight?
21:33I'm headlining at Double D's.
21:35If I triple your pay, would you mind being the opening act here?
21:42Ben, I don't know how the food is, but I already love this restaurant. We are the youngest people here.
21:48Oh, this isn't a restaurant.
21:52This is the Senior Center. Welcome to the Ben Faulkner Function Room.
21:58We're not eating here, are we?
21:59No, no, we're serving.
22:02Well, we can eat afterwards if there are, you know, leftovers.
22:06Oh, fun.
22:08Uh, but I'm, I'm a little underdressed.
22:13There you go.
22:15And now you're perfect.
22:19Gabby, FYI, guys who used to be blind don't enjoy reliving it.
22:22Relax, you're gonna love this.
22:25Now just sit back and get ready for takeoff.
22:37Yeah.
22:39Wow, you've been working out.
22:41I have, but that's not my ass.
22:45It's a professional.
22:47Meet Dakota.
22:49What the hell? What is this?
22:51A gift from your wife.
22:53I work at Double D's out by the interstate.
22:56Not the one by the airport that had the hepatitis scare.
22:59You hired a stripper.
23:01Only as a warm-up act.
23:03Then later on she'll clear out and it's just you and me for the main event.
23:07Nope, not doing this.
23:09Hang on, idea.
23:11Sit down.
23:13Oh, okay.
23:14What are you doing?
23:15Like the...
23:17God, he's right. Your body, it's like a dolphin.
23:20Give it a little spank.
23:21Nothing will fix his problem quicker than a little girl-on-girl action.
23:24My problem?
23:26You told her.
23:28Okay, quick. Make out with me.
23:30Do you have any idea how embarrassing this is for me?
23:33Thank you. Doctor, you can go now.
23:39How could you do that to me?
23:41Trying to get our sex life back on track?
23:42Carlos, even at our worst, this is the one thing that's always worked for us.
23:46I just want us to get back to normal.
23:48We're never going back to normal!
23:50Don't you understand that?
23:53What I did,
23:56you can't wish it away.
23:58It is with me all the time.
24:01Whether I'm awake,
24:03or asleep,
24:08or trying to make love to you.
24:09I'm sorry. I just wish there was something I could do.
24:14Tsk.
24:16I think it's not.
24:17Please not.
24:28What's that?
24:30I don't know.
24:32Is it good?
24:34Let me clue you in on something.
24:36Food is usually either good, or free.
24:39How come your dress is so fancy?
24:42Because I'm on a date with that hot Aussie over there.
24:45He just failed to mention what the date was.
24:49Ben brought you to sling food dressed like that?
24:53Honey, I think he's messing with you.
24:55I hope you had a good laugh.
25:07Be thankful I shoved that on your head.
25:10It was another option.
25:11Grenade stopped.
25:13Why?
25:14So you can mock me some more?
25:16I wasn't mocking you.
25:18Okay, but I mean, you did kind of deserve it.
25:21I mean, your whole, I heart old people thing.
25:23I was trying to find something we had in common.
25:27And now I know we have nothing in common.
25:29You're a good person who does things like this, and...
25:33I'm me.
25:34You're not a good person?
25:36No, Ben, I'm not.
25:38Because truthfully, doing charity makes me nauseous.
25:42Yeah, me too.
25:44What?
25:46Makes me uncomfortable, too.
25:48But I know why that is.
25:50Do you?
25:52I don't want to talk about this.
25:54What? Are you afraid of saying something truthful?
25:58When my mom...
26:00When my mom...
26:02died...
26:06I was bounced around from relative to relative.
26:09Most of them dirt poor.
26:11We...
26:13were on the receiving end of a lot of charity.
26:15I spent plenty of time in places like this...
26:17and I hated it.
26:20They hand you something.
26:22A dented can of food or an ugly shirt.
26:24And someone tells you,
26:26say thank you to the nice lady.
26:28And you do.
26:30But secretly you want to scream, I hate you.
26:33I know what it's like to claw your way out of something.
26:38Look at us.
26:42Having things in common.
26:43And...
26:44I've seen that.
26:47And they spoke among us again.
26:49Good night.
26:51Oh, it's about time.
27:02Is there a problem, officer?
27:03Yeah, you're parked in a fire zone.
27:06Oh, darn the luck I am.
27:10Well, it sounds like somebody's going to be slapped with a pretty steep fine.
27:13Yeah, I should write you a ticket.
27:14Oh.
27:17But if you promise not to do it again, I'll let you offer the warning.
27:20What? Why would you do that?
27:23Because I'm a new dad.
27:24Oh, jeez.
27:25Abigail Dorothy Brovka, eight pounds, six ounces.
27:29I'm so happy, filled with love, anything short of a triple murder, and I'm pretty much looking the other way.
27:35No, no, no, don't look the other way. No, look this way.
27:39Laws have been broken. There must be consequences.
27:41I just want to get home to my baby. I mean, look at her.
27:45All wrapped up like the Tasty's Little Burrito in Fairview.
27:48Oh, look at that.
27:49Yeah.
27:50That was not cool.
27:55Unfortunately for you, I always carry a backup.
27:58Are you kidding me? What do I have to do to get arrested here?
28:01Lady, people like you used to drive me nuts.
28:03But nothing can faze me now that this sweet little girl has come into my life.
28:07Now, that sweet little girl, she's got dumbo ears.
28:11Ma'am, you can turn around and put your hands behind your back.
28:18Have the rights to remain silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you, court of law.
28:23Hey, Mike.
28:24I've got a bit of a problem. Maybe you can help me out with it.
28:32I can try. What's the problem?
28:34I can try. What's the problem?
28:35How am I supposed to hire you when I can't get you bonded?
28:40Who knew? Mike Delfino, suburban dad, guy who keeps the neatest lawn on the block.
28:46Ex-con?
28:50Yep.
28:51And you were going to mention this when?
28:54Look, I'm sorry. It's not something I tend to lead with when I meet somebody.
28:57Because you're not that guy anymore?
28:59That's right.
29:00A bad cop tried to rape your girlfriend, and you fought him to protect her.
29:08Tell me why you wouldn't want to be that guy anymore.
29:10That was a long time ago.
29:12I was a kid, and I learned life's a lot more complicated than I thought.
29:16Nah, nah. Life is brutally simple.
29:21Life is getting what you want and protecting who you love.
29:25And everything else is weakness.
29:27And a guy like you, a guy like you knows it.
29:33Ben, if this is all just to tell me you can't use me, I understand.
29:36No, no, no, no. I didn't say that. I said I couldn't bond you.
29:41I can definitely use you.
29:45I hope you've cooled off a bit.
29:47Yeah. Well, spending a few hours in a cell with a drunk transvestite will do that too.
29:55Your baby's cute, by the way.
29:57I swear she'll grow into those ears.
30:00Thanks.
30:02The guy called to pick you up is here.
30:11Carlos, thanks for coming.
30:13Couldn't call Mike, and I didn't want to upset the girls, so...
30:16You okay?
30:17They told me you assaulted a motorcycle cop.
30:20Actually, it was just a motorcycle.
30:23That doesn't sound like you.
30:27I've been in this weird place lately.
30:31I keep doing things, hoping to get caught.
30:37Does it help?
30:39For five minutes.
30:43And then I just feel guilty again.
30:44I just don't know how to pull myself out of this.
30:52I get it.
30:54Like how he keeps pushing me to act like everything's normal.
30:57I guess we're just supposed to stuff everything down and move on.
31:01But that's impossible.
31:04The girls are playing poker and acting like things are fine, and they're not.
31:10It is nice to be able to talk about this.
31:21It is.
31:27You want to get some coffee?
31:32Sounds good.
31:32Parker, it's me.
31:52It's getting late.
31:52Is everything okay?
31:54Everything is fine, m'lady.
31:57Who's this?
31:58Toph.
31:59If this is a booty call, Toph is ready to fill in.
32:02Where is Parker?
32:04I don't know, man.
32:06It's kind of a Lord of the Flies situation here.
32:09So, are we hooking up or what?
32:12Up!
32:15Parker!
32:18Parker!
32:19Excuse me, excuse me, I'm looking for my son.
32:22Parker Stobble, I'm hoping you know him.
32:24Kick stand, kick stand, kick stand, kick stand.
32:27And now I'm hoping you don't.
32:29Kick stand, kick stand, kick stand, kick stand.
32:32Oh, hold on.
32:33This is a private party.
32:34I, I, I'll just be a minute.
32:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.
32:36What are you, some kind of narc?
32:37No, I'm just looking for my son.
32:39I swear, I'm not a narc.
32:40Exactly what a narc would say.
32:42Step aside, kid.
32:43Lady, I said no.
32:46Listen to me.
32:47My son is here somewhere, and he is probably drunk and probably terrified, and I've got to find him.
32:52Sorry.
32:53There's no way we're letting a narc into our party.
32:55I am not a narc.
33:02Okay.
33:02Would a narc do this?
33:07Legs!
33:14You're not?
33:16Uh, Tom!
33:17This isn't what it looks like.
33:21I haven't been drinking.
33:23I mean, a little.
33:24What are you doing here?
33:26But Parker called me to pick him up because he drank too much.
33:28Where is he?
33:29He's in the car.
33:30He sent me back because he lost his phone.
33:31Is he okay?
33:32He's covered in puke, which I'm hoping is his.
33:35Oh, God.
33:36This is your fault for letting him come here.
33:40My fault?
33:41You could have stopped him.
33:42Oh, please, you knew it was a bad idea.
33:44You were just too busy testing me.
33:46No, I was giving you a chance to stand up and be a father.
33:49Now we've got a 16-year-old son we have to clean off of the garden hose.
33:52I guess you showed me.
34:03You asleep?
34:05Yeah.
34:06I thought I'd let him sober up before we punish him.
34:09I know I shouldn't have let him go tonight.
34:15But right now, saying yes is the only move I've got.
34:20Move?
34:22What is this?
34:23Some kind of game you're trying to win?
34:26Lynette, you have no idea what this is like for me.
34:30For 20 years, I had the same bedtime ritual.
34:33I'd brush my teeth and I'd go look at each kid sleeping.
34:36And no matter what crap happened during the day, I knew the things that mattered were okay.
34:43Now my ritual, I brush my teeth.
34:47So, yes.
34:50I'm doing everything I can to make the little time that I spend with them the best part of their week.
34:54Well, you're succeeding.
34:56When I see them sprint out to the car, so excited to see Daddy, part of me thinks, great, they're okay with this.
35:05And part of me thinks,
35:06Oh, crap.
35:10I'm losing them to you.
35:12So you're trying to win, too?
35:16No.
35:22I just...
35:24I understand how you feel.
35:30And the only way we're going to get through this is if we stop worrying about...
35:36Who wins?
35:38Who wins?
35:42I'm sorry to burden you with this, but I just couldn't keep it to myself anymore.
35:52Why not?
35:52Why don't you have to tell me?
35:54Repression is like your thing.
35:56Okay, let's say someone knows.
35:58They're not asking us for money.
35:59They're not trying to blackmail us.
36:01I say until they tell us what they want, we just act like everything's normal.
36:06Except I'm drinking a lot more.
36:08You don't think we should tell the others?
36:10Well, we can't tell Susan.
36:11She's already flipping out.
36:12You're right, and we shouldn't tell Annette, given what's going on in her marriage.
36:15Or Carlos, given what's going on in mine.
36:18So you don't think we should do anything?
36:22Well, there is one thing I've been telling you you need to do.
36:25Get rid of Chuck.
36:27You're right, I should.
36:28But, um...
36:29But what?
36:30This is going to sound strange.
36:33He makes me feel safe.
36:35Safe?
36:36Yeah, I do think that's strange.
36:38Especially now that some lunatic knows.
36:40But you've got to end this, and you've got to end it now.
36:46Chuck?
36:51Now, isn't that funny?
36:53I was just thinking to myself, how am I going to wash my back in the shower?
36:58And then you walk in.
37:00Serendipity, huh?
37:00I'm sorry.
37:03I'm going to pass.
37:07Okay.
37:10Is something on your mind?
37:14I can't wait.
37:17Bree.
37:17Go ahead, take your shower.
37:19Hello?
37:48Hello?
37:49I have a collect call from Fairview Correctional Institution.
37:51Will you accept the charges?
37:53Yes.
37:56Bree.
37:56It's Paul Young.
37:58I've been thinking about what you asked me.
38:00You know, who might have known about Mary Alice's note?
38:03Yeah.
38:04When I confessed to the murder of Martha Huber, I mentioned the letter to the police.
38:11Would you remember who these policemen were?
38:13The main detective was a tall guy.
38:15With a short name like, uh, Pants or Vince.
38:18Was it Vance?
38:21Chuck Vance?
38:22Yes.
38:23That's it.
38:24I have to go.
38:25I have to go.
38:35Okay.
38:36I know that was the shortest shower I've ever taken, but I...
38:38I really didn't like the look on your face before.
38:42Be honest with me, Bree.
38:43Are you about to break up with me?
38:45Of course not.
38:54In fact, let's get you back in that shower.
38:57Mm-hmm.
38:57Yes.
38:59Yes.
38:59In the divided world of the suburbs, everyone is looking for some way to make a connection.
39:08Some seek to connect by focusing on a greater good.
39:17Some, by revealing a common history.
39:21Some, by sharing a pain, no one else can heal.
39:31Then there are those who once sought to make a connection.
39:35That they now want desperately to escape.
39:41From God's death.
