00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives, Susan discovered that Porter was the father of Julie's baby.
00:06No, the father will be an adoptive parent who has gone through extensive interviews and a background check.
00:10Mother, if you stop, I want to keep it.
00:12Then Lynette found out.
00:14No, no, no, he can't be having a baby.
00:17Gabby took in a house guest.
00:19Karen kicked me out.
00:20And Karen got bad news.
00:22I can't see his back.
00:24Ben's money problems took a toll.
00:26Let's get you to hospital.
00:27And Renee stepped in.
00:29Normally I'd never take a check, but I know where you live.
00:32Orson returned.
00:33How would you feel about a change of scenery?
00:35Maine.
00:36With a plan.
00:38You won't believe where it's going to end up.
00:45When it came to raising her children, Lynette Scavo was used to doing things without help.
00:53Her husband would often travel on business.
00:55Or rush out to important meetings.
01:00Or sneak out for a game of golf.
01:10But just because Lynette was used to doing everything herself...
01:14You done yet?
01:15Didn't mean she liked it.
01:20Yes, I'm done.
01:21Thank you for your help.
01:22Okay.
01:23I want to thank you both for joining me.
01:26I know you're worried about my decision to be a single father.
01:29No, not worried.
01:30More like panicked and terrified.
01:31Well, I'm here to let you know that as of today, I've got everything under control.
01:37I got a job.
01:38Wow.
01:39Just working in a restaurant, but it's decent pay and there's health insurance for me and
01:42the baby.
01:43Well, that is great news.
01:45Lynette, don't you want to tell her son that's great news?
01:48I'm waiting for the butt.
01:49There doesn't have to be a butt.
01:51It's Porter.
01:52There's always a butt.
01:53But they don't exactly provide child care.
01:56At a restaurant?
01:57That's so weird.
01:58They usually have a whole play area between the knife block and the deep fryer.
02:01So I'll need a little help with the baby.
02:04How much help?
02:05I don't know.
02:06Eight hours a day.
02:09Every day.
02:09Until...
02:11She turns 18?
02:12No.
02:13She could be super smart and end up going to college at 15.
02:16Aw, sweetie.
02:18She's not going to be super smart.
02:19Lynette.
02:20Porter, I'm sorry.
02:21I am not going to keep telling you what a bad idea raising this baby is.
02:25You're a grown-up and you've made your own decision.
02:28And I'm even starting to make my peace with it.
02:30But?
02:31But.
02:33I can't raise her for you.
02:34We can barely take care of this one.
02:37Wait.
02:38Wait, where'd she go?
02:40I thought you were watching her.
02:41It's your house.
02:43I'm sorry.
02:44You're going to have to make other arrangements.
02:46I found her.
02:47Wow.
02:47I don't know what I was thinking.
02:49Expecting you to care about my baby.
02:51I mean, you're only the grandmother.
02:53Uh-oh.
02:54Uh-oh.
02:55I am happy to be her grandmother.
03:00I will fill her room with stuffed animals.
03:02I will feed her ice cream behind your back.
03:04I will spoil her like nobody's business.
03:06But when it comes to the heavy lifting, I am done.
03:09Or will be very shortly.
03:12Okay.
03:13I see where you're coming from.
03:15I guess I'll have to find some stranger to watch over little baby Lynette.
03:18Lynette, you were going to name your daughter after me?
03:25That is incredibly touching.
03:27It changes nothing.
03:30Yes.
03:31Lynette Scavo had raised her children without much help.
03:35Here you go.
03:36Practice.
03:36And she was determined that Porter do the same.
03:52Orson Hodge had a plan.
03:55He was determined to reclaim the heart of a woman whose loss he had never gotten over.
04:05He loved her so deeply that he was willing to be patient.
04:12And obsess over every detail.
04:18Until at last the moment arrived.
04:22When she was just within reach.
04:25Okay, open.
04:26What is this?
04:28It's a little book of inspiration I put together for you.
04:32I wanted to show you some pictures of my cottage in Maine.
04:35It's right on the coast.
04:37See, there's the lighthouse.
04:38Oh, these photographs are breathtaking.
04:41It's even more beautiful in person.
04:43When you hear the fog horn and you breathe in the sea air.
04:47Oh, I feel it already.
04:50Oh, Orson, I can't tell you how happy this makes me.
04:52This is exactly what I need right now.
04:54Absolutely.
04:55You deserve a break after all that ghastly business you've been through lately.
04:59Yeah, the murder, the investigation, all those chilling letters you received.
05:04Letters?
05:06Yes, the letter you received after the murder and the one after Chuck Vance was killed.
05:11I never told you about the second letter.
05:17That's right.
05:18I heard about it from Lynette.
05:19You talked to Lynette about the letters?
05:22Yes, the other day.
05:23When she came over with the girls.
05:26Personally, I thought it was very indiscreet of her.
05:28But, well, yet another example of how those women can't be trusted.
05:32Oh, let me show you this one.
05:38It's my favorite.
05:40That patch of dirt is your favorite?
05:42Fresh-tilled soil in a raised bed overlooking the ocean.
05:47The perfect place for you to plant a garden.
05:49Oh, Orson, I can't remember when I've been this excited.
05:52You have truly thought of everything, haven't you?
05:58Let's hope so, darling.
05:59And our Doppler radar will be tracking those scattered showers as they move from eastern Pennsylvania right into the western Pennsylvania area.
06:10Now, won't we come?
06:11Hey!
06:11I could hear that at the store!
06:14Oh, no.
06:15One of your girls having a birthday?
06:17I can only imagine them on cake.
06:19Oh, this is for Carlos.
06:21He's coming home Thursday.
06:22You got a bottle of champagne for a guy getting out of rehab.
06:26What, they were all out of opium?
06:28No, this is for me.
06:29This whole rehab thing has been very stressful.
06:32So, this is his big homecoming.
06:34Watching you get loaded.
06:36And a balloon.
06:38I got put up with a lot from you.
06:41What is that supposed to mean?
06:43Why don't you think of someone other than yourself just once in your life?
06:47You're right.
06:48It's horrible here.
06:49So, why don't you just walk out the front door?
06:51Believe me, I would if I had any place else to go.
06:54Well, as the balloon tells us, Carlos is coming home soon.
06:57So, what's your plan?
06:59I thought we'd watch the basketball game, maybe do a little grilling.
07:02Carlos always liked my tri-tip.
07:04Well, you know who else likes your tri-tip?
07:06Karen.
07:07Yeah, she does.
07:09Forget about steak, Roy.
07:11Isn't it time you do patch things up?
07:13Send her some flowers.
07:14Make nice.
07:15I tried all that.
07:16If she wants me back, she knows where to find me.
07:21Now, after the break, we'll answer all your burning questions about barometric pressure.
07:26So, make sure you stick around.
07:28How'd it go with Julie?
07:29Made it to the train with time to spare.
07:31I think she was eager to get back to school.
07:33Oh.
07:34I was sort of hoping she'd change her mind and come back with you.
07:37Guess what, Mom?
07:38I decided to stay.
07:39Well, give her some time.
07:41You never know.
07:42I think I know.
07:43Porter, is everything okay?
07:57No.
07:58Everything pretty much sucks.
07:59I thought I had a job, but my mom says it's not good enough.
08:04So, I wrote up a resume.
08:08Well, this looks great.
08:10I mean, any boss would be lucky to have you.
08:13I mean, you're young, energetic.
08:15You had a paper route, and you're proficient in martial arts, so I'm not proficient in spelling it.
08:21What was the job that your mom said wasn't good enough?
08:26Waiting tables at the Carlisle?
08:28I mean, I know it sounds kind of lame, but it's a stepping stone.
08:32I'd take classes, learn about the business, try to work my way into management, or even own my own restaurant, just like my parents used to.
08:40Well, Porter, that sounds like an actual plan, and a good one.
08:45Yeah.
08:46There's just one problem.
08:47It doesn't have daycare.
08:51You should take that job.
08:54What will I do with the baby?
08:56Well, lucky for you, you happen to be looking at Fairview's finest daycare provider.
09:03Porter, me.
09:04I'm the daycare.
09:06Oh!
09:07When the baby is born, you just drop her off with me whenever you need.
09:11I will spoil the heck out of her.
09:13You don't mind being stuck with a baby all day?
09:15It's a baby.
09:16Who could be stuck?
09:18My mother, for one.
09:19Well, for me, it's a dream come true.
09:22Honestly, you would be doing me a favor.
09:24Wow.
09:26Thank you, Mrs. Zelfino.
09:28Oh, you know what?
09:29You're going to be raising my daughter's child.
09:31I think it's about time you started calling me Susan.
09:34Or better yet, Grandma.
09:36No, Susan.
09:37Susan.
09:43Come on, son of a bitch.
09:58Ah!
09:59Oh.
10:00What are you doing?
10:01I just noticed you had some flowers delivered.
10:04And I was snooping to see who they were from.
10:07You want to know who?
10:08No.
10:09They're from Rory.
10:10He wants you back.
10:11I just saw you cutting those roses from Bree's garden.
10:15No, you didn't.
10:16You're old.
10:17You can't see anything.
10:18You've got clippers in your pocket.
10:20You have clippers in your pocket.
10:22Your fingers bleeding.
10:23Your fingers bleeding.
10:24All right.
10:24Can I just come in?
10:25Come in.
10:29Look, Rory may be too proud to send flowers himself, but he misses you.
10:33Whatever.
10:34Why are you being like this?
10:36Just get over your silly fight and take him back.
10:37He's crazy about you.
10:39Really?
10:40Then how come you're over here and not him?
10:43Because I'm kind of to blame for this.
10:46I fed the flames of your little spat because, let's face it, I'm selfish.
10:50My girls were out of control.
10:52And Rory's a genius at scaring the crap out of kids.
10:54But now Carlos is coming back, so I'm all about you two being lovebirds again.
10:58Save your breath, Gabby.
10:59It's not going to happen.
11:01What's going on with you two?
11:03You know, none of your damn business.
11:05Now take your stolen flowers and your clippers and...
11:08Karen, what's the matter?
11:11Nothing.
11:12I'm on new medication.
11:14Sometimes I get a little lightheaded.
11:16You don't look so good.
11:17I'm going to go online.
11:20Karen!
11:20Karen!
11:21Oh, my God.
11:23Oh, my God.
11:23Okay.
11:26Hi.
11:26I need an ambulance right away.
11:284358 Mysterio Lane.
11:46Hey, guys.
11:51What you doing?
11:53Uh, I'm helping Mrs. Delfino paint the nursery.
11:58Nursery?
11:59It's a room where babies live.
12:00Yes.
12:01Why would Susan need a nursery?
12:03You didn't tell her?
12:04Uh, I volunteered to look after the babies so Porter could start that new restaurant job.
12:10Oh.
12:10Yeah, he said he didn't want to be stuck taking care of her all the time, and I'm thrilled
12:14to do it.
12:15That's really nice of you.
12:19And, of course, it goes without saying that you are welcome to come over and play any time
12:22with my granddaughter.
12:25Our granddaughter?
12:27I'm sorry.
12:27Oh, Mom, I wanted to ask, can we take the old bassinet?
12:33My bassinet?
12:33The one all five of you kids slept in?
12:35Yeah.
12:36That's why I thought it was cool.
12:37Now my kid gets to sleep in it.
12:40Oh.
12:41Doesn't it make you want to cry?
12:45Yeah.
12:46Yeah, it does.
12:53Renee?
12:54What are you doing here?
12:56Learning ten new ways to cook kale.
12:59And letting you know your financial troubles are over.
13:02What do you mean?
13:05I met with your loan shark, a sentence I never thought I'd be saying, and I settled your account.
13:11All you have to worry about now is getting better.
13:14I told you.
13:15I didn't want you to do that.
13:16I think the words you're looking for are thank you.
13:18I'm serious.
13:19I didn't want you to get involved in this.
13:21Look, if you and I are going to keep hanging out, there's something you need to know about
13:24me.
13:24I do what I want.
13:33But I want to be perfectly clear.
13:34I will be paying you that money back.
13:36Oh, I know.
13:38That's probably going to take a while.
13:40Good thing I'm not going anywhere.
13:42Could be years.
13:44Shh.
13:44Just lie there and look pretty.
13:47Uh, come in.
13:57And don't be an axe murderer.
14:00Hey.
14:01Hey, kids.
14:02Dad's home.
14:03What's going on, Tom?
14:04I'm kind of busy right now.
14:05Actually, that is why I am here.
14:07Parker, Penny, you guys around?
14:10Hey, guys.
14:11Go pack your bags.
14:14I've tried that, Tom.
14:15They come back.
14:15I figured I'd take them off your hands for the rest of spring break.
14:18Oh, we're going to your place?
14:19Yeah.
14:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:20And you already got plenty of stuff there already, so pack light.
14:22Is this actually happening?
14:25You're taking the kids for an entire week?
14:27Well, um, after our talk with Porter, I got to thinking that you never really get any time
14:31to yourself, and when I was out of town, you had the kids for weeks, so I owe you.
14:37Wow.
14:38If we weren't separated, the things I'd do to you?
14:43Anyway, uh, thank you.
14:45It'll be much easier getting things done around here when it's just me and the baby.
14:49No, no, no.
14:50I'm taking Paige, too.
14:51What?
14:52Who's going to watch her while you're at work?
14:55Jane.
14:56She hasn't taken care of a baby in forever.
14:59She's really looking forward to it.
15:01Okay, that's really generous.
15:04And here comes the herd.
15:07Later, Mom.
15:08Wait, wait.
15:08Give me a hug.
15:10Bye.
15:10All right.
15:10Have a good time.
15:11I love you.
15:12Have a good time.
15:13I love you, Mom.
15:13I love you, too.
15:18So, what are you going to do with all this time to yourself?
15:20Oh, that is a problem I look forward to solving.
15:24Bye, Paige.
15:31I spoke with your doctor, and I know.
15:40What?
15:41Doctors aren't allowed to talk about patients' conditions.
15:44Well, they can if you're family, Mom.
15:46Can you tell anyone the cancer's back?
15:50Because this time, I ain't going to beat it.
15:52Oh, you don't know that.
15:55Yeah, I do.
16:01So, this is why you've been pushing Roy away.
16:04Look at my smart daughter piecing it together.
16:07He doesn't know about any of it?
16:08No.
16:09He's not going to.
16:10But this is a scary thing.
16:12Maybe you should let him help you.
16:14Why?
16:14So he can be miserable, too?
16:16Karen!
16:16Roy went through this when his first wife died.
16:19I'm not putting him through it again.
16:22Gabby, I'm begging you.
16:26Don't do this to him.
16:28Just don't tell him.
16:29Oh, you know what we need here, over the crib?
16:38A mobile with twinkly little butterflies.
16:41Those were Julie's favorite.
16:42Twinkly butterflies.
16:44Oh, and you know, we could put her name on the wall in big, bright letters.
16:49Do you have a name yet?
16:50I was actually thinking about Lynette.
16:53For a baby?
16:54Huh.
16:56Let me think about that.
16:57Oh, you know what else we could do?
16:58A mural, like Winnie the Pooh, and his head is stuck in the honeypot.
17:04I brought you guys some coffee.
17:06But it sounds like one of you doesn't need it.
17:08Oh, I'm not caffeinated.
17:09I'm just high on baby.
17:11Is there any sugar?
17:12In the kitchen.
17:15That baby is going to feel right at home here.
17:18Well, that's why I'm doing this.
17:21Uh-huh.
17:21Are you going to keep Julie's bed?
17:23Well, she was here first.
17:25And besides, I mean, if she does come back, she'll need a place to stay.
17:31Right.
17:31So when Julie comes to visit, she'll be sleeping four feet away from the baby she doesn't want.
17:35I think I should move Julie's bed.
17:40I think you should do whatever makes you happy.
17:46Hon, did you find the sugar?
17:49That's what I was looking for.
17:53Let's just hope the baby takes after Julie.
17:55This is the kind of thing that chaps my ass.
18:01If Mama Duke ate my pillow, I'd shoot him right in the head.
18:06Hey, Roy?
18:08No, Gabby.
18:09I wouldn't actually shoot a dog.
18:11It was a joke.
18:13I just realized the other day,
18:14I don't think I've ever heard you talk about your first wife.
18:19Miriam?
18:20I didn't even know her name.
18:22Miriam.
18:22Miriam.
18:22How long were you guys married?
18:2639 years.
18:28She died two weeks before our 40th anniversary.
18:31Oh, my God.
18:33Cancer, right?
18:35Brain.
18:37Son of a bitch.
18:38That kind of real son of a bitch.
18:41That must have been the worst thing you ever went through.
18:45You'd think.
18:48Wait, are you saying it wasn't?
18:49Sounds weird.
18:51It's hard to understand.
18:57I want to understand.
18:59Okay.
19:02When you love somebody,
19:04love them a long time,
19:06you get lazy.
19:08You figure they know it,
19:09so you stop saying it so much,
19:12stop showing it.
19:13Yeah.
19:15But when you know you're going to lose them,
19:18that they won't be there to hear you say it,
19:22oh, boy,
19:23you make damn sure they know it every second of every day.
19:27I'm so sorry I brought it up.
19:30Mathes,
19:31I earned them.
19:32I was there for Miriam.
19:36I told her everything I needed to tell her.
19:40Held her hand when she was scared.
19:44These don't bother me at all.
19:49Oh, Roy.
19:50I made a promise to someone,
19:52but I'm going to have to break it.
19:53It's so good to see you again.
20:04A loan shark and a job of a witness?
20:06Not a combo you see often.
20:10What?
20:11I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this,
20:13but I'm a terrible bookkeeper.
20:15The check you wrote me to pay off your boyfriend's loan,
20:18I had the amount wrong.
20:20Oh, so you're here to give me a refund?
20:22Not exactly.
20:23I really like this house.
20:25Tell me,
20:26what does fire insurance cost for a place like this?
20:29Okay,
20:30why don't you pick up your violin case
20:32and drive your big Cadillac back to the Godfather movie
20:34you crawled out of?
20:36You are not going to intimidate me.
20:38You sure about that?
20:40That's how I make my living.
20:43Business is good.
20:45Ah,
20:46I get it.
20:47You see this sweet suburban neighborhood
20:49and think,
20:50I can push those people around.
20:52But let me tell you something,
20:53I do not come from a place like this.
20:57You got all you're going to get.
20:59We're done.
21:03I'm the one that decides when we're done.
21:08See you around.
21:09Is that everything?
21:18I think so.
21:19Have you taken one last look down the lane,
21:21fixed an image in your mind?
21:22Why?
21:22We'll only be gone for a month.
21:24Will we?
21:24Something tells me that once you taste
21:26one of those delicious Maine lobster rolls,
21:28you'll never want to come back.
21:29Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves?
21:32Promise me you'll keep an open mind.
21:33Fine.
21:35Mind open.
21:38This is going to sound silly,
21:40but you know what I'm most excited about?
21:41What?
21:42We finally get to wear those hats
21:43I bought for that Alaskan cruise
21:45we never got to take.
21:46Jiminy Christmas.
21:48I left mine at home.
21:49Of course then.
21:51We'll buy another one.
21:52It won't be the same thing.
21:53I had them monogrammed
21:54and I always imagined us wearing them
21:56on some wonderful adventure together.
21:59Oh, that's all right.
22:00We'll just stop and get it from your apartment.
22:02My apartment.
22:04We don't have time for that.
22:05Don't be silly.
22:06It's on the way.
22:07And besides,
22:07most people don't get to the airport
22:08four hours before their flight.
22:10No, no, we can't.
22:13You know how long it takes
22:14to go through security in a wheelchair?
22:15Certainly not.
22:16Four hours.
22:17Breathe, please.
22:21Was there something wrong?
22:23No, no.
22:26You're trembling.
22:27It's, it's, it's nothing.
22:29It's just you know me and punctuality.
22:32Well, this is hardly the way
22:34to start that relaxing vacation
22:36you've been promising me.
22:39You're right.
22:40I'm sorry, dear.
22:43Apology accepted.
22:45Now, let's make that the last time
22:47we quibble on this trip.
22:51Now we're off to your apartment.
22:52We're off to your apartment.
23:09snorke
23:14Hi.
23:30Lynette Porter's not here.
23:31No, I know. I just felt bad you were doing all the work on the nursery,
23:34so I freed up some time in my schedule to help.
23:36You know, painting, moving furniture, whatever you need.
23:38Uh, actually, we already finished.
23:41Oh, can I see it?
23:43Of course. Uh, sure.
23:44Follow me.
23:47I know pink is a little traditional,
23:49but then I found this black-and-white bedding for the bassinet I just love.
23:53Makes it feel like a little French girl's room, don't you think?
23:56Who's Sophie?
24:00Oh, uh, that's what Porter decided to name the baby.
24:04Uh-huh. Porter decided to name the baby after your mother?
24:09He did ask me for some suggestions.
24:11Interesting. He told me he was naming her Lynette.
24:14I know, but baby Lynette.
24:18What's wrong with that?
24:19Oh, nothing. It's just Lynette is so...
24:22I mean, you.
24:24Really?
24:25Well, yeah.
24:26And you have set the bar so high on that name.
24:30You want to burden a tiny little baby with trying to live up to that.
24:36And nobody thought I'd be interested in hearing about this name change?
24:38Oh, my gosh.
24:41Are you upset about this?
24:43Uh, I thought you were into being the hands-off grandma.
24:47Oh, I'm trying to get my son to stand on his own two feet,
24:50and I guess I didn't count on you being the pushy grandma.
24:54I guess your definition of pushy is being helpful and wanting to get involved.
24:58Oh, I want to be involved. It's my granddaughter, too.
25:00Oh, well, I don't see you setting up a nursery in your house.
25:03Oh, well, maybe I will. It's just one thing I need.
25:08Lynette, give that back!
25:09No!
25:10Porter wants to carry sense and pulls the whole room together!
25:13Yeah, because Porter has such a keen eye for design.
25:15What is going on? What's wrong?
25:18What's wrong?
25:19You're calling Lynette Sophie.
25:20You're making my son a waiter,
25:22and you're trying to turn my granddaughter into a French girl.
25:24That's what's wrong.
25:25Okay, that doesn't make any sense, and it's incredibly petty.
25:28Well, not as petty as trying to steal somebody's grandchild.
25:31No!
25:40My first visit to your apartment.
25:42I must admit I'm a bit ashamed. I never came by before.
25:45Yes, well, truth be told, I'm a bit ashamed of how modest it is.
25:48So, if it's all the same, I'd prefer it if you wait out here.
25:51I'll just be a minute.
25:52Absolutely not. I'm sure it's perfectly charming.
25:56Actually, it's also a mess.
25:58There, I said it.
25:59Oh, what you must think of me.
26:01Orson, I know you.
26:02A mess means you haven't fluffed the sofa pillows today.
26:05Oh, come on, let's get you that hat.
26:10Oh, hell's both.
26:11What?
26:11I seem to have forgotten my key.
26:13Oh, dear.
26:14Sometimes I think I'd forget my head if it weren't attached to my body.
26:17Of course, then I wouldn't need to get my hat.
26:20The manager has a master key.
26:22Would you mind running down to the office to get it?
26:24Of course not. I'll be back in a sec.
26:26Okay.
26:26Orson, I've looked everywhere and I can't find the manager.
26:51Oh, not to worry.
26:53I'm such a muddlehead.
26:55I forgot that I keep a spare key in the pouch.
26:59One of the good things about being in a wheelchair,
27:01it's like having a mobile purse after you.
27:08What a lovely place.
27:11And, of course, your pillows are perfectly plumped.
27:13It served its purpose.
27:14And now, on to new adventures.
27:24You look very dashing.
27:27Oh, that's not dilly-dally.
27:30We still have a plane to catch.
27:34Oh, and we must stop by a newsstand in the terminal.
27:37The novel I'm reading is simply dreadful.
27:41Oh, and I know how much you despise airplane food.
27:43Perhaps we can pick up a little bite for you as well.
27:49Read.
27:50It was you.
28:00You did it.
28:03You wrote the letters.
28:08Oh, my God.
28:10You killed Chuck.
28:14Yes.
28:15For you.
28:21What?
28:23He was going to arrest you.
28:25I had to do something to stop him.
28:27Everything I did, Bree, was to protect you.
28:30Protect me?
28:31How was writing the letters supposed to protect me?
28:34They tormented me, almost drove me to suicide.
28:36I'm sorry I went that far.
28:38I knew I had no chance of winning you back
28:40unless I could isolate you from those awful friends of yours.
28:44So I wrote the letters,
28:46knowing those women would turn against you,
28:47and they did.
28:48Why would you want to turn them against me?
28:50Because as long as they were in your life,
28:51I knew I would always be a distant second,
28:53and that wasn't going to be good enough for me.
28:55Not this time.
28:57I had to have you all to myself.
28:59That's how much I love you.
29:04You're insane.
29:05Bree.
29:06Bree, we both know what it means
29:08to commit a crime for the greater good.
29:10Do not compare yourself to me.
29:12I was protecting people I love.
29:13You were only pursuing your own selfish desires.
29:15No, I did it for both of us.
29:17You took advantage of me
29:18at the darkest moment of my life.
29:21You're a sick, pathetic man.
29:23And I know that someday you will pay for your sins.
29:26Bree, don't go.
29:27You're everything to me.
29:28Well, you are nothing to me.
29:30And I never want to see you again.
29:31Hey.
29:46You mind if I come in?
29:49Sure.
29:49But I've already been screamed at by one in Scavo today,
29:52so can we keep it civil?
29:53If this is about Susan, you can save your breath.
29:57Oh, come on, Lynette.
29:58I know how much you guys care about each other.
30:00Uh-huh.
30:01Hey, you want to have sex with me?
30:03It would really piss her off.
30:04Uh, I'm going to pass on that, but thanks.
30:08Okay.
30:08I don't understand why she's so mad at me.
30:12She said she wanted nothing to do with Porter's baby.
30:15Can I tell you a little secret?
30:16That was her first reaction to all five of our kids.
30:20Ugh, I don't believe that.
30:21I mean, she's a great mom.
30:23None of this makes any sense.
30:26Now we're getting somewhere.
30:28I just never thought my life would end up like this.
30:31It's like I'm turning into white trash.
30:33Lynette, I come from white trash.
30:35You are nowhere near that.
30:37Really?
30:38I'm separated.
30:39My kid is having a baby out of wedlock.
30:42I'm getting into public fights.
30:43I'm two weeks away from having a washing machine on the porch.
30:47Meanwhile, Susan's getting everything she wants.
30:50Yeah, I don't think Susan's life is going the way she'd hoped, either.
30:53Well, I know.
30:54She's the one over there painting a nursery for our grandchild.
30:57Yeah, with your son.
31:00Not her daughter.
31:02That's the thing about Lynette.
31:04She always complains that she has to do everything herself.
31:06But God help you if you try and do anything for her.
31:09I have a bruised tailbone to prove it.
31:11I made the same mistake as you.
31:13And I was married to her.
31:15I should know.
31:16What did you do?
31:17I took the kids off her hands for a week.
31:19And she was fine at first.
31:21Then she started calling every ten minutes to remind me to give Paige her medicine.
31:25Or to make sure that Parker wore his retainer.
31:27She needs to be needed.
31:31Exactly.
31:32I ain't given what I've been going through.
31:33I kind of get that.
31:35Yeah.
31:36So, if you could, Susan, cut her a break.
31:40She's lost a lot.
31:42I don't want her losing you, too.
31:45I think that's why she's going so overboard on this nursery thing.
31:48She hopes she'll get Julie excited about the baby.
31:52Maybe bring her back.
31:55You know, you're taking all my anger away.
31:57And that's not going to leave me anything.
32:00Yeah, it will.
32:02It'll leave you your friend.
32:03What you won't do to get out of being married to me.
32:15Oh, crap.
32:18I know I couldn't trust the jumping bean to keep her mouth shut.
32:22These are for you.
32:24Brushing things a bit, don't you think?
32:26Not dead yet.
32:27No, but I'm about to kill you.
32:29What the hell were you thinking?
32:31I didn't want to put you through this again.
32:35Karen, I married you for better or worse.
32:39We had the better, and now...
32:42What if I say I don't want you here?
32:43You're an old lady.
32:44What are you going to do about it?
32:55I'm scared.
32:57I know.
33:01Hey, Renee.
33:07Hey, I just wanted to let you know that Ben's test results just got back, and everything is normal.
33:12He's getting up tomorrow.
33:14Oh, that's great news.
33:15Oh, and I got more.
33:15We're back together.
33:17And I have you to thank for that.
33:19Well, you don't have to give me credit.
33:20Oh, yeah, I do.
33:21Because if he breaks my heart again, I'm giving you the blame.
33:24Hey, did you say you're at the hospital?
33:31Yeah.
33:32Is anybody staying at your place?
33:33No.
33:33Why?
33:34I just thought I saw a light turn on.
33:36It's probably nothing, but I'll go check it out.
33:38What the hell are you doing?
33:52Some people use voicemail.
33:53I prefer to deliver my messages in person.
33:55So, why don't you just move along before you get involved?
34:03It's too late.
34:05I keep forgetting you're the tough guy around here.
34:08Well, I don't want any trouble.
34:11I don't ever want to see you again.
34:39Then you should have killed me.
34:41Hey, hey, hey.
34:51Oh, hang on.
34:53Wait, wait, wait.
34:55Surprise!
34:56Welcome home!
34:57Whoa, who did this?
34:59I did.
34:59Really?
35:01Because when I got home from prison, all you left me was a post-it note on the fridge that
35:04said, take out the trash, ex-con.
35:06Well, I don't want to take you for granted anymore.
35:08You sound like you actually mean that.
35:14What's going on?
35:17Karen's cancer's back.
35:18And it's bad.
35:20That's why she threw Roy out.
35:21Oh, God.
35:25Kind of makes you think.
35:27I mean, when we got married, I thought that was the finish line.
35:30But it's not.
35:31Death is.
35:32No one told us that.
35:33Yeah, they did.
35:35At our wedding, they said till death do us part.
35:38Oh, Carlos, please.
35:39I had four glasses of champagne before the ceremony.
35:42I almost married your uncle.
35:43Come on, Gabby.
35:44I mean, the idea that we might die someday must have at least crossed your mind.
35:47I just never thought about what it really means.
35:50That one of us is going to die and the other one's going to live through it.
35:53And if it's you who's first, I don't think I can do it.
35:59Yes, you can.
36:01You're one of the bravest people I know.
36:04Look who we've been through this year.
36:06You've been my rock.
36:07I have.
36:11Well, you, Scotch.
36:14But from now on, just you.
36:20And hey, if it makes you feel any better, you can always take the easy way out.
36:24Die first.
36:35What's going on with the name?
36:36You didn't change it to sop, did you?
36:38Because that's even worse than Lynette.
36:42Lynette isn't so bad.
36:47Thanks for that.
36:49Yeah, well, thank you for all the rest of this.
36:54So you need anything?
36:56Um, the nail holes need to be speckled.
37:02I want it.
37:06Hello?
37:25Free.
37:25It's Orson.
37:26Listen to me.
37:36Don't you ever call my house again.
37:39I can assure you this is the last you'll hear from me.
37:42What do you want, Orson?
37:43I've been thinking about what you said.
37:45And you're right.
37:46The sins that have been committed are so reprehensible that a sacrifice must be made.
37:50The ultimate sacrifice.
37:55Do not consider suicide.
37:58That would only be adding more sins to your list.
38:00You don't have to judge, Bree.
38:03Someone else will do that for you.
38:06Goodbye.
38:07Forever.
38:08Yes, there are times when we all could use a little help.
38:21When our generosity has been repaid with cruelty.
38:28When our behavior has filled us with regret.
38:32And when our future has become terribly uncertain.
38:48But then there are those who are past the point of help.
38:54And in their wake, they leave nothing but destruction.
