00:00Previously on Desperate Housewives
00:02At Mike's funeral, Susan and MJ said goodbye.
00:07Gabby gave her blessing.
00:08You should quit your job.
00:09If being a counselor is going to make you happy, then that's what you should do.
00:13Lynette spoke her mind about Tom's girlfriend.
00:16I actually don't think it's going to last that much longer.
00:18And the police gathered more evidence.
00:20Someone is accusing you of killing Mr. Sanchez.
00:23That's just silly.
00:24I want to make sure we get enough to put this bitch away for good.
00:31Renee Perry had waited many months for a proposal.
00:35And for many months, she had been disappointed.
00:39There had been a cozy evening by the fire.
00:43That didn't go the way she had hoped.
00:47A romantic moment in Wisteria Park.
00:51That wasn't so romantic after all.
00:56And a beautiful picnic by a lake.
01:00That turned out to be nothing more than a picnic.
01:06So when disappointment struck again,
01:11Renee decided to speak up.
01:14Dessert.
01:15That's the big finale to a six-course meal.
01:18Dessert.
01:18Were you expecting, like, a cheese course?
01:20No!
01:21I was expecting a ring.
01:23You have red roses, champagne.
01:25You are sending me every signal in the world that I'm about to get a big proposal.
01:29And instead, I get a cookie.
01:31It's a chocolate souffle.
01:32Whatever.
01:33I'm not a young woman.
01:35I don't know how many more fake-outs my heart can take.
01:39Okay, fine.
01:39I was going to propose tonight.
01:41I just did such a horrible job the first time.
01:43I wanted this to be exceptional.
01:45They call it popping the question, not dragging it out to eternity.
01:50So come on, pop!
01:51Well, can I at least read you the speech that I wrote?
01:54Oh, Lord.
01:55Just give me the last paragraph.
01:57For all these reasons and more, it is with great honor that I ask you if you...
02:09We're ignoring that.
02:11Keep going.
02:12If you would consider making me the happiest man in a...
02:15Go away!
02:17The police!
02:19We're looking for Mr. Ben Faulkner.
02:27I'm Ben Faulkner.
02:29How can I help you?
02:30You own the condominium project under construction at Chapman Woods?
02:34I used to.
02:35Backends it now.
02:35You mind coming down to the station with us?
02:37I want to ask you about a body we found on the site.
02:40Is he under arrest?
02:42No, ma'am.
02:43I just want to ask your boyfriend a few questions.
02:47Wait!
02:57He's not my boyfriend.
02:58He's my fiancé.
03:00Yes.
03:01Renee Perry had waited a long time for a proposal.
03:05Okay.
03:06Now you can take him.
03:07And she wasn't about to let it slip through her fingers.
03:11Brie Vandekamp started every morning by catching up on the latest news.
03:31But sometimes the news came from an unexpected source.
03:35Hey, Brie.
03:37Look what happened to my hand.
03:39Oh, my goodness.
03:41Are you...
03:41We're getting married.
03:43Oh, how wonderful.
03:45Yeah, we're pretty happy.
03:46Pretty happy?
03:47Oh, we're ecstatic.
03:48Knickers to the wind.
03:49Over the moon.
03:49Congratulations.
03:50When did this happen?
03:51Last night.
03:52Oh, and get this.
03:53In the middle of his big romantic proposal,
03:55the cops come by to ask about some dead body they found at the construction site.
04:01So, tell me more.
04:03Well, I definitely want a big wedding.
04:05Bridesmaids, the works.
04:06I was talking about the body.
04:07What did the police say?
04:08Uh, not much.
04:09I mean, I told them that I didn't know anything about it.
04:10And they believed me.
04:12Good.
04:13Although, I have to say, I'm surprised you didn't tell me sooner.
04:16Oh, we're sorry.
04:17It was late, and I wanted to tell my sister first.
04:20Again, talking about the body.
04:21Why would we tell you that?
04:23And why are we talking about this and not me?
04:25Quite right.
04:26I just would hate to see this tragic news interfere with your happy day.
04:30And I don't think it will, but I really don't think you should worry about it.
04:33The police don't seem like they're going to pose a problem.
04:38That was Judge Kemp.
04:39He just signed off on that warrant.
04:41For Brie Vandicamp?
04:43That was fast.
04:45I might have called in some favors.
04:47Sooner I can prove she's guilty.
04:49Sooner I can watch her pay for it.
04:50You got another one.
04:53Um, Mitzi Kinski.
04:55Mike was a ray of sunshine on our street.
04:58He will be missed dearly.
04:59Isn't that lovely?
05:00Everybody's been so generous.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Ten jars of homemade jam.
05:05I don't know if she was being generous or just cleaning out her basement.
05:09Well, either way, it's a gesture of love and support.
05:13Makes me feel better.
05:14There is my baby boy.
05:18Morning, bub.
05:20Eggs on a raft.
05:22Just the way you like them.
05:24These smell gross.
05:27Okay, um, not a problem.
05:28Is there something else you'd like me to...
05:30MJ?
05:32It's okay, honey.
05:33Um, what do you want?
05:35Strawberry ice cream.
05:37Uh, buddy, I don't think that's the healthiest way to start your day.
05:39I don't care what you think.
05:41Well, you may be just this once.
05:44I'll get you a bowl.
05:51Or, uh, no bowl is good.
05:53I'm gonna eat this in front of the TV.
05:54Can you bring me some sprinkles?
05:56Of course, honey.
05:59Uh, Mom.
06:01What?
06:02It's just ice cream, okay?
06:04He lost his dad.
06:07Okay.
06:09Mom, where's my sprinkles?
06:12Coming!
06:14Whoa.
06:15What's going on here?
06:17I thought I'd kick off your big resignation day with a power breakfast.
06:22Plus, the expiration on this sausage was yesterday.
06:24I gotta say, now that the day is finally here, I'm starting to get a little freaked out.
06:28Don't you worry.
06:30I've made a decision.
06:31I'm getting a job.
06:32What?
06:33You don't have to do that.
06:35No, I want to.
06:36It's time I help out.
06:37I owe it to you.
06:38So, I wrote up a resume, I booked a meeting at an employment agency, and I even bought
06:46myself a girly briefcase.
06:48But I thought we were just gonna cut back.
06:50Live a smaller life.
06:52Yeah, I thought about that.
06:54And I decided I want a slightly bigger life.
06:56So I figured if I work, the girls can stay in private school, we can keep both cars, and
07:01maybe even take one of those ski trips we talked about canceling.
07:04Gabby, I love that you're trying to help, but an entry-level salary is not gonna cover
07:09the cost of skis, let alone five nights at the Ritz.
07:11Well, maybe not now, but if I work my way up the ladder in a few years, I'll be pulling
07:15in the big bucks, just like you do.
07:17Or did.
07:19What kind of ladder are we talking about here?
07:21What is it that you're gonna do?
07:23I don't know yet.
07:24That's where the employment lady comes in.
07:25She's gonna help me figure out how to best utilize my skill set.
07:30Yeah, read that one of your business magazines.
07:32I'm proud of you stepping up.
07:34Like this.
07:36Hope you find a job that has health care, because my benefits end today.
07:40What?
07:41No risky meat without benefits.
07:46Doug and I eloped.
07:47This time I won an over-the-top wedding.
07:50Horse-drawn carriages, fireworks, poodles dyed purple.
07:56Is this weird?
07:58Me going on about how happy I am while you're all sad and single?
08:02Actually, I'm hoping I won't be single for long.
08:06I've decided to try to get Tom back.
08:08So we're done talking about me?
08:09Yeah, kinda.
08:11Great.
08:12So what are you thinking?
08:14I figure I'll just come clean.
08:16Tell him I screwed up and beg him to come back.
08:19It's amazing you landed a man in the first place.
08:21Well, what do you think I should do?
08:23Throw yourself at him.
08:25Next time he stops by, let a boob fall out of your blouse,
08:28or maybe bend over in those tight-ass jeans.
08:32That's not gonna work.
08:33You're right, sorry.
08:34What do I know about getting a man?
08:36Oh, wait.
08:37A lot?
08:38Come on, help.
08:40It's not gonna be easy splitting them up.
08:41They just moved in together and they seem so happy.
08:44Of course they're happy.
08:45They're in that honeymoon phase.
08:46They're still taking trips, laughing at each other's jokes,
08:49pretending they're interested in museums.
08:51We had a honeymoon phase, too.
08:53Maybe I need to remind him of that.
08:55Well, remind him naked.
08:56The only tricky part is gonna be getting him alone.
08:58Jane watches him like a hawk.
09:01A tall, bitchy hawk.
09:02Well, whatever you do, do it soon.
09:04I'm not gonna waste a plus one at my wedding,
09:06unless I know it's serious.
09:11Hey, Mom.
09:14Andrew.
09:15Oh, it's wonderful to see you.
09:18How are you?
09:19I'm good.
09:20I'm good.
09:20I'm really good.
09:21Really?
09:22Because your sister told me you lost your job.
09:24I've been so worried.
09:25Didn't you get any of the messages I left?
09:27I've just been really busy.
09:28But everything's fine.
09:29In fact, I met someone.
09:31You did?
09:32Well, that's wonderful.
09:33I know how hard your breakup from Alex was.
09:36I'm so happy that you're moving on.
09:38Yeah.
09:38Well, you know, it's only been a few months,
09:40but it's pretty serious.
09:42How serious?
09:43Serious enough that we were driving through town,
09:45and I thought the two of you should meet.
09:47He's here?
09:48Yeah, well, I want you to keep an open mind.
09:59Who's this?
10:00This is Mary Beth, my fiancé.
10:02I'm so glad to finally meet you.
10:11I've been telling this guy I can't marry him
10:14until I meet his mom.
10:16So you're really engaged to each other.
10:20Oh, yeah.
10:21Yeah, and remember, you're happy I've moved on, right?
10:24I just have so many questions.
10:26I know what you must be thinking.
10:27It's too soon.
10:28No, that's not what I'm thinking.
10:30Mom?
10:31Mom, I'm sorry.
10:33It's just that you're very different
10:34than all of the other dates Andrew's brought home.
10:37Well, you know, people change.
10:41So how did you two meet, anyway?
10:43Oh, it's a real cute story.
10:44I was at the community center
10:45for my Overeaters Anonymous meeting
10:47when I went into the AA meeting by mistake.
10:50And by mistake, I mean I remembered
10:52how drunks love their donuts.
10:54So as I was reaching for a buttermilk glaze,
10:56there was Andrew.
10:57You're in Overeaters Anonymous?
10:58Yeah, I actually lost 220 pounds
11:01and then gained 160 pounds
11:04of grade A beefcake.
11:07Isn't she adorable?
11:08Uh-huh.
11:10Andrew, would you help me in the kitchen?
11:11I'd like to get some tea biscuits
11:13in there on a very high shelf.
11:14Ooh, tea biscuits.
11:1746 calories.
11:18Andrew, I do not understand.
11:25What is going on here?
11:26Look, I know it's not who you were expecting,
11:28but you remember how you always said
11:30that being gay was just a phase,
11:31that I just needed to meet the right girl?
11:33Well, look, you were right.
11:35Just be happy for me.
11:36Come on, back to bed.
11:48MJ, it is two in the morning.
11:50You should be in bed.
11:51You can't tell me what to do.
11:53What did you just say to me?
11:58Hey, turn that back on.
12:01Guys?
12:03What's going on in here?
12:04I am trying to get MJ back to bed.
12:06I can't sleep.
12:07Yeah, well, blowing up aliens isn't going to help.
12:08Come on.
12:09No, I want to play my game.
12:11Turn it back on now.
12:13Shh, don't get upset.
12:14You can finish your game.
12:18What?
12:20Just for a little while.
12:22And then you have to go back to bed, okay?
12:25Mom, can I talk to you for a second?
12:32I think you're making a mistake.
12:34It's not that big a deal.
12:36Yes, it is.
12:37Look, I know what he's going through is awful, but this isn't helping.
12:43He's totally taking advantage of you.
12:45He's not taking advantage.
12:48He's traumatized, and it's killing me to see what he's going through.
12:52So if I can give him a little joy by letting him play video games, that's what I'm going to do.
12:58So I'm looking to make in the six-figure range, plus benefits, of course.
13:08And I have two young girls, so flexible hours would be good.
13:11And we always take this big vacation, so I'll need two weeks off.
13:15Maybe three.
13:16You know what?
13:16Just give me all of August.
13:17So, what do you got for me?
13:22A reality check.
13:24Excuse me?
13:26Mrs. Solis, you're going to have to adjust your expectations.
13:28Up?
13:29No.
13:30Have you not been reading the newspapers?
13:32The job market right now is brutal.
13:34I have people with PhDs that I can't find jobs for, and frankly, your job experience is very limited.
13:41Modeling, modeling, modeling.
13:43Okay, okay.
13:44Print, runway, boat show.
13:48Who's the job expert here?
13:50Plus, there's a 15-year gap here.
13:52Yeah, to be a doting wife and a loving mother of two.
13:55You have experience with children.
13:57I have a job at a daycare center.
14:01Deal with other people's kids?
14:02I don't even like my own.
14:04Look, you didn't go to college, you didn't even graduate high school, and your only references are photographers and aging rock stars.
14:11In today's market, you're basically unemployable.
14:15And you actually get paid for this?
14:17So now what am I supposed to do?
14:19Well, you could start planning that August vacation.
14:25Gabrielle Solis was depressed.
14:30And when she was depressed, nothing lifted her spirits like a good workout of her credit card.
14:38May I help you?
14:39Yeah, I just want to get that little red scarf I saw on the window.
14:43Then I'll be on my way.
14:44All right.
14:45Although, that black sheath dress would go perfect with it.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:50Look at those over-the-knee boots.
14:53Okay, who am I kidding?
14:56Get me a double cappuccino and a muscular stock boy.
14:58Mama needs a new pair of everything.
15:06I said tote.
15:07This is clearly beige.
15:09We don't have it.
15:09Second floor, third mannequin for the left.
15:11Look alive.
15:14I'll try these in plum, these in leopard, these...
15:18Oh, forget it.
15:19No lady wants to see anything under four inches.
15:20Okay.
15:23You go with you, you go with you, you go away.
15:33No one's been able to make that ralper work.
15:35Should we help her?
15:36Stay back.
15:37She knows what she's doing.
15:40Navy blazer, silver hoop earrings, platform wedge.
15:45And a red patent leather clutch.
15:46Everything looks and smells so amazing, Mrs. Vandekamp.
16:02Do you mind if I take a picture?
16:04Of the food?
16:05That way I eat just a little bit now, and then later when I'm hungry I can look at the picture and get full on the memory.
16:11Don't you just want to eat her up?
16:12Not before I take a picture of her.
16:15You know, Mary Beth, I just realized I don't know a thing about you.
16:19What do you do?
16:19Well, actually, nothing.
16:21My parents have been pretty generous.
16:23Oh, really?
16:23What sort of work are they in?
16:24None of your business, Mom.
16:25No, no, it's okay.
16:27They invented Mary Beth's frozen custard.
16:30Mary Beth?
16:31You're that Mary Beth?
16:33Recognize me?
16:34The kid on the carton?
16:34Oh, it's in every supermarket in the country.
16:38It must be a multi-billion dollar...
16:41Oh.
16:47Would you help me in the kitchen, Andrew?
16:49Now.
16:53Andrew, I knew you were having financial troubles, but I never thought you'd stoop to this.
16:57What?
16:57She's an heiress.
16:58You're obviously marrying her for her money.
17:00I'm marrying her because I'm crazy about her.
17:02We love the same movies.
17:04She makes me laugh.
17:05She gets me.
17:06She's really an amazing girl.
17:07I think I found your good side.
17:10Smile, Noki.
17:11She's disturbed.
17:13Okay, all right.
17:13She's a little eccentric, but you know what?
17:16I love her.
17:18Andrew Van de Kamp, you love Italian shoes.
17:20You love mid-century modern furniture.
17:22And according to your internet history, you love army doctors giving elaborate physicals
17:27to young recruits, but you do not love girls.
17:30Why can't you accept that I've changed?
17:32Because homosexuality is not a choice.
17:34You were born this way.
17:35I'm the one who told you that.
17:36And it took me a long time, but I was finally able to wrap my head around it.
17:41Honey, you're here, you're queer, and I'm used to it.
17:44You know what, Mom?
17:45I'm not here anymore, all right?
17:47Mary Beth, let's go.
17:51Hey, how was your dad's?
17:53Fine.
17:54Aw.
17:54She was in a bit of a mood, but I still love you unconditionally.
17:59Let me guess.
18:00Did it have something to do with a certain Taylor Swift concert this Thursday night?
18:04I'm just saying, all my friends' moms are taking them.
18:07And all your friends' moms are going to be deaf for two weeks, like I was last time we
18:10went to a concert.
18:11I'm not doing it.
18:12It's not fair.
18:13I am going to go give Paige a bath.
18:15Thank you for bringing her home.
18:17I'm going to go grab your suitcase.
18:21Mom!
18:22Please!
18:23It'd make you the bestest mom in the whole wide world!
18:26Nope, the matter is closed.
18:28This sucks.
18:31Hey.
18:33You know who else likes Taylor Swift?
18:35Me?
18:36I mean, if your parents are okay with it, I'll take you.
18:39Oh my God!
18:42You're the best!
18:43I'll check with my mom and call you.
18:45Can't wait.
18:46Okay.
18:51So?
18:53Totally worked.
18:55You'll have dad all to yourself Thursday night.
18:57You are the bestest girl in the whole wide world.
18:59Hi, babe.
19:24What is that?
19:25This.
19:27It's a boot.
19:28I bought a boot.
19:29You bought one boot?
19:32Yep, because I'm frugal.
19:33One day I'll buy the other one.
19:35That's all you bought?
19:37Because I got a call from the bank
19:39saying somebody was going crazy with your credit card.
19:43Huh.
19:43Maybe it was stolen.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Buy a size zero with incredibly expensive taste.
19:50What is the shopping bag doing out of the bed?
19:52I bought a gift.
19:52For a woman whose husband is in Iraq
19:56fighting for our freedom.
19:57Gabby!
19:58You're taking it all back!
20:00I can't!
20:02Not if I've worn it.
20:05Can't take it back.
20:07Can't take it back now.
20:08See?
20:09Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
20:11Our lives have changed.
20:12We can't afford this anymore.
20:14Not unless you got some big job you haven't told me about.
20:21What's wrong?
20:22I met with that job lady.
20:24But she basically said,
20:26I'm not qualified to do anything.
20:27I didn't finish school.
20:28I've never had a real job.
20:30The only thing I've ever gotten paid for is being pretty.
20:32I just feel like my life has been one bad decision after another.
20:35Uh, what about the girls?
20:40What about marrying me?
20:42That's the part that hurts the most.
20:44You guys are the only good thing I've ever done and I feel like I'm letting you down.
20:49Gabby,
20:50you are smart.
20:54You'll figure something out.
20:56Something great.
20:57But in the meantime,
20:59all these clothes have to go back.
21:04I know.
21:06We should just give us a moment alone.
21:08Hello?
21:15Hello?
21:16Yes, this is his mother.
21:19He did what?
21:20He threw a stapler at you?
21:22Yes.
21:23Right at my head.
21:25Are you sure it wasn't an accident?
21:27He couldn't have been aiming at your head.
21:29What he said was,
21:30and I wrote this down because I wanted to be exact,
21:33leave me alone or I'm going to throw the stapler at your head.
21:37I'm so sorry.
21:38You do know that MJ just lost his father, right?
21:41I do.
21:42My heart goes out to both of you.
21:43But there is no place for violence in my classroom,
21:46no matter what the circumstances are at home.
21:49Circumstances?
21:50Um,
21:51it's not like he
21:53just lost his favorite toy
21:55or a pet turtle.
21:57Well, he lost his dad.
21:59Yes.
22:00But if MJ had thrown that stapler a little harder,
22:02my grandkids might have lost their grandmother.
22:05Well, I'm sure that he is sorry.
22:07He isn't.
22:08In fact, he said, and I quote,
22:10Bullseye.
22:11I'm considering having him removed from my class.
22:14Okay, uh,
22:16what MJ did was wrong,
22:19but
22:19I'm finding it hard to believe
22:22that a person that spends so much time with children
22:25could be so oblivious
22:27to a child's pain.
22:29I have 20 other children I need to protect,
22:31and MJ is a very angry little boy.
22:34Well, of course he's angry.
22:37He's nine.
22:38And one of the most important
22:40and loving people in his life
22:42has just been ripped away from him,
22:44and now he has to live with the fact
22:47that his father is never coming back.
22:49Inside voices, please.
22:51Oh, to hell with your inside voices.
22:52His father is dead.
22:54My husband is dead.
22:59My foot.
23:00It's her.
23:14Why's everyone looking at me?
23:15Did I do something wrong?
23:16No, no.
23:17In fact, we have done nothing
23:18but talk about your shopping skills
23:19for the last 24 hours.
23:22Really?
23:22Yes.
23:23We even went back
23:24and watched the security tape
23:25to see it again.
23:26Well, keep the tape.
23:27It was my last show.
23:28What?
23:28Uh, circumstances have changed.
23:30My shopping days are over.
23:32So just do me a favor.
23:33Wait till I'm gone
23:34to restock the boots.
23:35I can't cry again today.
23:37No, no, wait.
23:38Um, take care of these
23:40for Mrs. Solis
23:41and bring her a glass of champagne.
23:44Champagne?
23:44Mm-hmm.
23:45Did you not hear me?
23:46I'm broke.
23:46You have no reason
23:47to suck up to me anymore.
23:48Well, I do if I want you to work here.
23:51Huh?
23:52You see, you're like a shopping savant.
23:55And every day,
23:56women come in here
23:57with all the money in the world
23:58and no clue what to spend it on.
24:00You could help them.
24:01You mean like a personal shopper job?
24:03No.
24:03Do not think of it as a job.
24:05For you, my dear,
24:06it is a calling.
24:08I don't know.
24:09Employees get a 40% discount.
24:11Hi.
24:11Welcome to Come Release.
24:12My name's Gabrielle.
24:13Can I help you?
24:25I want to thank you
24:26for accepting my apology
24:28and coming over
24:29before you left town.
24:30I feel like I haven't had
24:31the appropriate reaction
24:32to this wedding.
24:33No, no, no.
24:35You've been wonderful.
24:36Well, to show you
24:38how excited I am
24:40that my little boy
24:40is getting married,
24:42I've thrown you
24:42a surprise engagement party.
24:54Mom?
24:54What the hell is this?
24:56Oh, I just invited
24:56some of your old friends
24:57over to congratulate you.
24:59Hey, girl.
25:00I have a tenu in ages.
25:01Those shoes are ferocious.
25:03Who's this hag?
25:07This is Andrew's fiancee,
25:09Mary Beth.
25:11Hi, Mary Beth.
25:12I'm Brian with an I.
25:13This is Brian with a Y.
25:16What is this about you
25:17getting married?
25:17We need a dish.
25:18Um, uh, sweetie,
25:20why don't you go
25:20in the kitchen
25:21and grab a drink?
25:21I just love those boys.
25:27They used to be here
25:28all the time.
25:30So, what did you think
25:31of Andrew's friends?
25:32They seem sweet
25:33and very well-groomed.
25:35Well, yeah,
25:36but don't they seem,
25:38I don't know,
25:38a little disco-y?
25:41Mrs. Vandekamp,
25:42I know Andrew's gay.
25:44You do?
25:45I've never actually
25:46made love
25:47and he has a picture
25:48of Michael Phelps
25:49next to his bed.
25:50It says it's patriotic,
25:51but...
25:53I don't understand.
25:54If you know about it...
25:55You have to understand.
25:56I grew up fat and lonely.
25:59When I lost all the weight,
26:00I thought men
26:01would look at me differently,
26:02but they didn't.
26:04I just kind of gave up.
26:07Oh, Mary Beth.
26:08But then I met Andrew.
26:09He's sweet,
26:10fun,
26:11and I just thought
26:12I could do a lot more
26:14worse.
26:15No, no, no.
26:17No, you listen to me.
26:18You deserve real romance
26:21and passion in your life.
26:22I know all about this.
26:23I have been with plenty
26:24of men for companionship
26:26when it should have been
26:27for love.
26:28The right man for you
26:29is out there somewhere.
26:30You just can't settle.
26:32It's not fair to you
26:33or to Andrew.
26:34Andrew.
26:44I think we need to talk.
26:53All right.
26:58Coming!
26:59Coming, coming!
27:02Okay.
27:03Oh, no.
27:04Oh, my God.
27:09Hey.
27:09Hey.
27:10I came here
27:10as soon as I got
27:11your message.
27:12So, power's out, huh?
27:13I know.
27:14It's so embarrassing.
27:15I just got off the phone
27:16with the electric company
27:16and it turns out
27:17it's a faulty line
27:18so they're gonna
27:19fix it first thing
27:20tomorrow morning.
27:21So, you don't need me
27:22to look at anything or?
27:22I'm sorry.
27:23I feel terrible
27:24dragging all the way
27:24over here.
27:25So, you want something
27:26for your trouble?
27:27A drink or?
27:28No, no, no.
27:28I don't want to be
27:29in your hair.
27:30No, no, you're not.
27:31Honestly, it's a little
27:32scary being all alone
27:34in a dark house.
27:36Hence the hundreds
27:37of candles.
27:38Yeah, I did go
27:39a little overboard, huh?
27:41What are you cooking?
27:43It smells amazing in here.
27:45Yeah?
27:45I'm trying out
27:46a new recipe for the kids.
27:47Beef bourguignon.
27:48But Penny's with Jane
27:50and Parker's having pizza
27:51with the Martindales.
27:52I love beef bourguignon.
27:55Oh, that's right.
27:56I totally forgot.
27:58You remember
27:58the first time we tried it?
27:59New York.
28:01Our second anniversary.
28:02Oh, that must be
28:03where I got the idea.
28:04I was just looking
28:05at pictures from that trip.
28:07Oh, yeah?
28:07You got out
28:08the old photo hour?
28:09Yeah.
28:10Oh, man.
28:12Look at us.
28:15Hey.
28:17Why don't you stay
28:17for dinner?
28:18I'll make you a plate.
28:20Yeah, I don't know.
28:21Come on.
28:22Jane's at the concert.
28:23What would you rather do?
28:24Eat a microwave dinner
28:25all alone in your apartment
28:26or beef bourguignon?
28:30Well, I hate for it
28:33to go to waste.
28:33Well, I hope you're happy.
28:44Mary Beth is on her way
28:45back to Wisconsin.
28:46I'm sorry.
28:47Why are you so concerned
28:48about her life?
28:49What about me?
28:50I'm your son.
28:51I did this for you.
28:53Can you look me in the eye
28:54and tell me you would have
28:54been happy spending the rest
28:55of your life with that woman?
28:57That marriage
28:58really could have helped me out.
29:00And you have no idea
29:01how much help I need.
29:02Why?
29:03What is going on?
29:04Where do I start?
29:07Well, I took a loss
29:08on the house that you got me.
29:11I lost my job.
29:13Can't find a new one.
29:14I have a ton of credit card debt.
29:17And Mary Beth was willing
29:18to help me out
29:19with all of that.
29:20Well, so would I.
29:22Why didn't you come
29:22to me for help?
29:23Do you know what it feels like
29:24to have to keep running back
29:25to your mother
29:26to fix your problems?
29:28My whole life,
29:29you've been propping me up
29:30when I needed a job,
29:32when I was dumped,
29:33when I was drinking.
29:34I'm just,
29:35I'm so tired of you
29:36seeing me as a failure.
29:39Andrew,
29:39if you would go through
29:40all of this
29:41rather than come to me
29:42for help,
29:42then I am the one
29:43who's failed.
29:48How about we just agree
29:49that we both failed?
29:50So what are you going
29:55to do now?
29:56I don't know.
29:57I had a pretty good setup there.
29:58A place to live,
29:59somebody who needed me,
30:00all the frozen custard
30:02that I could eat.
30:03Well, I don't have
30:04any custard,
30:05but I can offer you
30:06a place to stay
30:07and someone else
30:09who needs you.
30:13All right.
30:15Just until I get back
30:16on my feet again.
30:17Now, let's talk
30:23about that party.
30:24I could swear
30:25I saw Brian with a Y
30:27checking you out.
30:29Ah, well,
30:30actually,
30:30I am more into Jeffrey
30:32with a G.
30:33Now, that's my gay song.
30:38God, look at all
30:39the stuff we're doing.
30:40We used to be interesting.
30:42I know.
30:42We hiked,
30:43we went to the theater,
30:44we took salsa lessons.
30:47And then came the kids.
30:49Ah, fun killers.
30:55This is amazing.
30:56It's even better
30:57than that restaurant
30:58in New York.
30:59I don't know.
30:59That place was pretty good.
31:01How did we even find it?
31:02You don't remember?
31:03Mm-mm.
31:04We got caught
31:05in that torrential downpour.
31:07We ducked in there
31:08to dry off.
31:09Right.
31:09And then the owner
31:10insisted on making us
31:12a special meal
31:12because we had
31:13that newlywed look.
31:14Mm-mm.
31:14A lot of water
31:19under that bridge, huh?
31:22Yeah, but it was
31:22a pretty strong bridge.
31:27Look how young we were.
31:30Yeah.
31:33Back then,
31:34I could actually see
31:35without my reading glasses.
31:37There you go.
31:38Best I can do for light.
31:47I'm glad you get these.
31:50Good memories, huh?
31:53Yeah.
31:54You know,
31:54sometimes you just get
31:55overwhelmed by work
31:59and kids in life
32:02and it's just
32:02so easy to
32:05forget.
32:09Yeah.
32:11Yeah.
32:13It is.
32:16I'm on fire.
32:17Oh, my God.
32:18Oh, my God.
32:18I'm on fire!
32:18Oh!
32:19Oh, my God!
32:20Oh!
32:20Are you okay?
32:26I think I burnt the skin.
32:28Oh, jeez.
32:29Let me see.
32:33Oh, it doesn't look so bad.
32:36I thought the power was out.
32:39They must have
32:40fixed it.
32:42You set this up.
32:43You know,
32:44in my defense,
32:45I...
32:45What the hell
32:45is going on?
32:46I just wanted to see
32:47where we stood,
32:48if there was still
32:49anything between us,
32:50if we could find
32:51our way back
32:51to those people
32:52in the pictures.
32:54By tricking me?
32:56I'm sorry
32:56about how I did it,
32:57but you can't deny
32:58what just happened.
33:00You still feel something.
33:03Jane just moved in
33:04with me.
33:06And you do this now?
33:13Hey, Mom.
33:23Hey, how was the concert?
33:25Awesome.
33:26Had to go with Dad.
33:28Not so awesome.
33:29Yeah, I kind of got that
33:30from the sweatpants.
33:31Come here, you.
33:34Hi.
33:35Hi.
33:39So now what?
33:41I don't know.
33:44I'll tell you
33:45what you can't do.
33:46Give up.
33:48Taylor Swift has a song.
33:50Mm.
33:51Mm-hmm.
33:52You Belong With Me.
33:53It's about how
33:55she won't stop
33:55loving this guy
33:56even though he's
33:57with the wrong girl.
33:59And when she sang it tonight,
34:01all I could think about
34:02was you and Dad.
34:04And this guy she loves,
34:07does he eventually
34:07come to his senses?
34:09Hm.
34:09It wouldn't be a very good video
34:11if he didn't.
34:13Don't worry.
34:15Dad will too.
34:17You think?
34:19Mom,
34:20we're fighting for him.
34:22What guy doesn't like that?
34:25You know,
34:27when you say something
34:29really smart like that,
34:30it makes me think
34:30I get a really good job.
34:32you think it's going to blister?
34:38It's a first-degree burn,
34:39Tom.
34:40You'll be fine.
34:41But as your physician,
34:43let me recommend
34:44no more candlelit baths alone.
34:46Yeah,
34:47I don't know what I was thinking.
34:48Well,
34:48the good news is
34:49I can declare you healthy enough
34:50for any and all
34:51sexual activity.
34:53actually,
34:58I need to get
35:00some work done.
35:01Oh.
35:03Okay.
35:04Well,
35:04the nice thing about us
35:05living together,
35:06if you change your mind,
35:08you know where to find me.
35:09Mom.
35:17Okay.
35:18That's the last of them.
35:20Okay.
35:21Actually,
35:22we're not done here.
35:25I want to talk to you.
35:28Is this about
35:29what happened at school?
35:30Yes.
35:35You need to know
35:36that it is never okay
35:37to throw a stapler at someone.
35:39I know.
35:41It's also never okay
35:42to sweep a bunch of stuff
35:44off someone's desk
35:45because you don't like
35:45what they're saying
35:46about your son.
35:49Particularly if they've
35:50just had bunion surgery.
35:52You did that
35:53to Mrs. Butters?
35:54Not proud of it,
35:55but yeah.
35:56I was really mad.
35:59Just like you.
36:03MJ,
36:03something horrible
36:05happened to you.
36:07And every time
36:08you started
36:09to get angry about it,
36:11I wanted to cover it up
36:13with ice cream
36:15or video games.
36:16but the truth is
36:18we shouldn't
36:19cover it up.
36:21We should let it out.
36:25Now,
36:25we can't
36:26hurt people
36:27but we can
36:31hurt jam.
36:33Mom!
36:43People sent us
36:45this to help us
36:46feel better
36:46and it's going to
36:48just not in the way
36:50they thought.
36:55Come on, buddy.
36:57You got a lot
36:57to be angry about.
36:58what happened
37:02sucks.
37:03It sucks.
37:03Oh, sweet.
37:30Oh, sweet.
37:30Oh, sweet.
37:30Oh, sweet.
37:31I love you.
37:34I love you so much.
37:42That's a cake
37:42I made for a wedding
37:43a few years ago.
37:44I know what you're
37:44going to say.
37:45It's too extravagant.
37:47Oh, well,
37:48I suppose we could
37:48add another tear.
37:50Make it two.
37:52I really appreciate
37:53this, Bree.
37:55Ben is such a guy.
37:57He's not going to
37:57be any help
37:58planning this wedding.
37:59Yes, especially
38:00since he's dealing
38:00with the nasty
38:01business of the body.
38:03Oh, that?
38:04No, Ben's in the clear.
38:05Really?
38:06Yeah, the cops
38:07called this morning.
38:08They figured out
38:09the guy they found
38:11died eight months ago.
38:12That was way before
38:13Ben started construction.
38:15Oh.
38:15Yeah, the cops
38:16think the guy
38:16was just some
38:17poor drifter.
38:18Anyway, it's over.
38:19Oh, good.
38:20Well, now we can
38:21focus all our energy
38:22on giving you
38:23the best wedding
38:23in the world.
38:25Tomorrow,
38:26we'll start our planning.
38:27Yes, in life,
38:32when we see
38:33an opportunity,
38:34we have to take it.
38:39Whether it's the hope
38:40of winning back
38:41the love of our life,
38:45a shot at proving
38:47our worth,
38:49or the chance
38:51to show a child
38:52the right path.
38:54But sometimes
39:00when we answer
39:01the call...
39:03Hello?
39:03Hi, it's Bree.
39:04...we have no idea
39:06what opportunity
39:07awaits us.
39:08Renee just told me
39:09the good news.
39:11And I wanted to thank you
39:12for keeping my secret.
39:14Ah, no worries.
39:15Told you I would.
39:16I know, but even
39:17when suspicion
39:17moved on to you,
39:18you still protected me
39:20and that's very honorable.
39:21Really?
39:21It was no big deal.
39:22Maybe not to you.
39:24You're not the one
39:24who put a body
39:25in the ground.
39:26You have to understand,
39:27a day doesn't go by
39:28when that does not
39:29weigh heavily
39:29on my conscience.
39:32Gotcha.
39:32Gotcha.
39:32Gotcha.
