Barbie backs up, knocking the cake to the ground.



Bree: "What the hell is wrong with you! Now it's ruined. Everything is ruined!"



Bree looks around the room. She sees all of the frightened faces and Danielle is on the verge of tears. Danielle runs from the room, crying.



Bree: "Um, you can just leave that there and I'll, um, clean it up later."



She walks out of the room.



Gabrielle's House



Gabrielle walks into her bedroom to find Xiao-Mei in her bed.



Gabrielle: "Xiao-Mei, what are you doing in our bed?"



Carlos comes out of the bathroom brushing his teeth.



Carlos: "I said she could sleep in there from now on. It's got the bathroom. You know in case she gets sick in the middle of the night."



Gabrielle: "Well, what's wrong with the guest bathroom?"



Carlos: "It's too far away."



Gabrielle: "It's right down the hall!"



Carlos: "Gaby, she needs her rest. And besides, that bed is much more comfortable than the one in the guest room."



Gabrielle: "Yeah, I know, that's why I had the movers put it in here, where we sleep!"



Xiao-Mei gets out of the bed.



Xiao-Mei: "Maybe I go to my bed."



Gabrielle: "Yes, Xiao-Mei, that would be good."



Xiao-Mei starts walking out, then stops and grabs her stomach and covers her mouth with her hand.



Xiao-Mei: "Oh, oh!"



Holding her hand over her mouth, she hurries toward their bathroom.



Gabrielle: "Fine, you can use our toilet."



Later, Gabrielle and Carlos are sleeping in a twin bed in the guest room. Gabrielle is squirming around.



Gabrielle: "Ow, Carlos stop kicking me!"



Carlos: "I'm just trying to get comfortable."



Gabrielle: "In a twin? Good luck! I want my bed back!"



Carlos: "We'll go buy a nice big one tomorrow and put it in here, okay?"



Gabrielle: "That is not the point. We are a week into this pregnancy and you are already putting Xiao-Mei's needs before mine."



Carlos: "Well, she's the priority now. She's the mother of my child."



Gabrielle: "Like hell she is! That is my egg!"



Carlos: "You know what I mean. She's the..."



Gabrielle: "Oven, Carlos, the oven! A well-cared for, well-paid oven!"



Carlos: "It came out wrong, I'm sorry, okay? Now, can we just get some sleep?"



Gabrielle tosses and turns in the bed. Carlos turns and knocks Gabrielle out of bed.



Gabrielle: "Oww!"



Carlos: "Babe, I'm sorry, I swear, I swear I didn't mean to. My leg just cramped up."



Gabrielle grabs a pillow and walks out, slamming the door behind her.



Carlos: "Where are you going? That's my pillow. Good night!"



Outside Betty's House - Nighttime



Danielle is calling from the yard.



Danielle: "Matthew!"



She goes around the side of the house and opens the trap door that leads to the basement. Matthew, inside the locked room in the basement, hears footsteps.



Matthew: "Mom, come on."



Danielle: "Oh my god, what are you doing in there?"



Matthew: "Danielle, is that you? My mom found out what we did to Caleb. She flipped out and locked me in here."



Danielle: "Don't worry, I'll get you out."



Matthew: "Be really careful okay, please, okay. I've never seen her like this before. She seriously lost it this time."



Danielle: "I know a little something about psycho moms. Trust me, I'll be fine."



Bree's House - Nighttime



Bree is on the floor, cleaning up the cake. Susan comes home and sees her.



Susan: "Hey. Cleaning up after the big party?"



Bree: "Yeah."



Susan: "You know, it's late. Why don't you, uh, go to bed and, you know, let Julie and I help you in the morning?"



Bree: "No, it's okay. I can't sleep anyway."



Susan: "Are you okay?"



Bree: "I take it you heard what happened."



Susan: "Yeah, when you flip out in front of the pep squad, word travels fast."



Bree: "It was the oddest sensation. I was fine and everything was fine and then suddenly I was on the outside of my body watching a woman who looked like me becoming a raving maniac."



Susan: "Bree, I'm worried about you. Do you, do you think that you should see someone?"



Bree: "Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm tired, that's all. I just need a long rest and then I'm gonna be a good as new."



Susan: "Okay, then why don't you stop and go to bed."



Bree: "Because, um, I can't sleep just yet."



Susan: "Why not?"



Bree: "Because when I sleep, I dream. And when I dream I keep seeing Andrew's face in that rearview mirror."



Susan: "Okay, what are you talking about?"



Bree: "Andrew, um, didn't run away. I, um, dropped him off in the middle of nowhere, told him that I couldn't be around him anymore and then, I drove off. So, I just need a little time to forget what I've done and then I can sleep again."



Susan: "Hey. You know, I am not even tired. So, why don't I stay up and help you?"



Bree: "That would be nice."



Susan puts on gloves and they scrub together.



Atlantic City - Valleta Hotel



Lynette is sitting in her rental car outside the hotel. She sees Tom come out of the entrance and hand the valet a parking ticket. Tom puts his cell phone to his ear. Lynette's cell phone rings. She answers.



Lynette: "Hello."



Tom: "Hey, you. How are you doing?"



Lynette: "Hey. Great, great! How's Atlantic City? Are you, uh, winning some money?"



Tom: "Oh, I'm about even. Actually I'm headed back into the casino right now to try my luck again."



Lynette: "Yeah? You're quite a gambler. Where's Jerry?"



Tom: "Jerry? He's right here. Hey, honey, how are the kids?"



Lynette: "Great, great. They're in the day care room. I'm looking at 'em right now."



Tom: "Hey, why don't you walk in there and, um, put them on the phone with me so I can say hi."



Lynette: "Okay, sure. First, can I talk to Jerry?"



Tom: "Why do you want to talk to Jerry?"



Lynette: "Oh, just, you know, say hello. It's been a long time."



All of a sudden, the car alarm on the car parked behind Lynette goes off. Lynette jumps. Tom looks around, and Lynette scoots down even lower into the car.



Tom: "Wow, man, that is weird. Can you hear, do you hear that car alarm?"



Lynette: "Uh, no."



Tom: "That is strange, because I can hear it here and through the phone."



Lynette: "Whoa, that's weird, kinda feedback." (the alarm stops) "You know, physics can be spooky that way. Listen I gotta go, I gotta go. Ed is talking to me and, um, I'll call you back later?"



Tom: "Um, okay."



Lynette: "'Kay, bye."



Tom: "Bye, honey."



The valet pulls up with Tom's car. Tom drives off and Lynette follows him.



Felicia's House



Felicia is on the phone in her kitchen.



Operator: "Nine-one-one. Is this an emergency?"



Felicia: "I think so. My neighbor, Paul Young, has been threatening me."



Felicia is pumping her blood from her arm into a bag while she talks.



Operator: "Is he there right now?"



Felicia: "No."



Operator: "Ma'am, until he actually does something, there's nothing we can do."



Felicia: "Well, I won't live in fear anymore. If you people refuse to confront him, I guess I'll just have to do it myself."



Felicia hangs up the phone and continues pumping her blood. When she's done, she opens her refrigerator where there are several bags of her blood stored.



Outside Edie's House



Susan turns on the recorder under her shirt and knocks on Edie's door. Edie answers the door eating a bag of popcorn. She tries to slam the door. Susan holds the door.



Susan: "No, Edie, wait! Um, I don't want to fight. I know that we've had our differences, but you know we had a friendship going there and I just think we owe it to ourselves to talk about what happened."



Edie: "What's there to talk about? It happened." (she chews the popcorn as she talks) "I walked down to your house. I had this watering can."



Susan: "What?"



Edie (muffled): "I filled it with gasoline and boom! Laughed my ass off."



Susan: "Okay, wait, could you just swallow. 'Cause I couldn't really hear what you were saying."



Edie: "Well, that was basically it. One of the best days of my life."



Susan: "Well see you were chewing and so I didn't really hear what you said. Could you just say it again?"



Edie: "I burnt your house down and it was great. What do you want?"



Susan: "So, uh, you then admit burning down my house. On purpose."



Susan moves closer to Edie. Edie looks at Susan suspiciously.



Edie: "You're wearing a wire, aren't you?"



Susan: "Huh?"



Edie: "Open that blouse!"



Susan: "What? No!"



Edie: "Open that blouse!"



Edie rips open Susan's blouse and sees the microphone. Susan runs.



Edie: "Ahhhhh! You can't outrun me, Mayer. I'm in the best shape of my life!"



Susan: "Oh good. Then you'll be prime meat picking when you go to jail!!"



Edie: "You bitch!"



Susan: "Bite me!"



Wisteria Lane Park



Mrs. McCluskey emptying her trash hears/sees them. Susan trips in the park, dropping the tape recorder. Edie grabs it and they fight as Mrs. McCluskey watches.

Edie: "What the hell?"



Susan sees the bees and backs away as Edie, covered in bees, continues to bat the bees away.

Gabrielle's House - Morning



Gabrielle wakes up on the couch.



"Nine months of long nights on the couch loomed before Gabrielle."



Later, Gabrielle is in the garage with her beauty products and a large sprayer. She starts pouring the products into the sprayer.



"And she had decided she would not take it lying down. So, she dipped into her supply of forbidden perfumes..."



Later, Gabrielle closes the window in her bedroom.



"...determined that that in this battle..."



Gabrielle pumps the sprayer. She sprays all around the bedroom.



"...she would be the one to come out smelling like a rose."

Tom: "Hey. Mrs. McCluskey, excuse me. You haven't seen Lynette around, have you? She's not home, she's not answering her cell phone."



Mrs. McCluskey: "She packed up the kids and the puppy and left."



Tom: "Packed them up? Why?"



Mrs. McCluskey: "She followed you to Atlantic City. She knows about your other woman. Boy, you're just lucky you're not my husband."



She snaps the clippers in front of Tom.



Fairview Hospital



Susan enters a room where a very, very swollen Edie is lying in bed.



Susan: "Hi."



Edie moans.



Susan: "Okay, first let me say I'm really sorry about the yellow jackets. And also, no matter how mad I am about what I did, I don't want to see you go to prison. So, I came up with the solution. Why don't you just come forward and tell the police that you saw some vagrant lurking by my garage with a can of gasoline. And if you do that then I'll destroy the tape. And then the insurance company will pay the claim. Nobody gets hurt. Does that sound good?"



Edie: "Come closer."



Susan: "Oh, ah."



Edie: "Take your stinking deal and shove it!"



Susan: "Edie!"



Edie: "Every time something bad happens to me you're standing nearby. Well, I've had it! No more pretending to be friends. When I get out of here, I'm gonna destroy you!"



Susan: "Okay, I'm just gonna think that this is the mad talking and I'll come back tomorrow."



Edie: "Don't bother!"



Susan: "Okay, Edie. I'm in trouble here."



Edie: "Oh, I'm sure you'll turn on the waterworks and the whole neighborhood would come running. They always do."



Susan: "That's not true!"



Edie: "Sure it is! You never miss an opportunity to play the victim! And you think just because everybody always comes to your rescue, it means that you're loved. Well, it doesn't. It means that you're helpless. Now get out. Just get out."



Outside Mike's House



Mike comes outside as Susan pulls into Bree's driveway.



Mike: "Hey, there."



Susan: "Hi."



Mike: "So you, uh, given any thought to staying at my place?"



Susan: "Oh yeah, that. Um, look, I really appreciate the offer, but I think I'm gonna have to pass."



Mike: "Really."



Susan: "Yeah, I think it's the best. I don't want to get a rep around here for being a charity case."



Mike: "Well, I didn't mean it that way. Just, uh, one friend helping out another."



Susan: "I know, but I can figure this out on my own. At least I'm gonna try. You know, I'm stronger than people give me credit for. I really am."



Mike: "Well, if there's anything I can do."



Susan: "You know what would be nice? Why don't you just stop over for coffee some time."



Mike: "Okay."



Susan: "I mean that is, after I get running water and electricity again. And a coffee maker."



They smile at each other.



Gabrielle's House - Nighttime



Carlos, in his pajamas, opens the bedroom window.



Carlos: "I hope you're happy. That poor girl can hardly even come upstairs now because of you."



Carlos waves the air out of the room with a pillow.



Gabrielle: "Carlos, stop with the dance. It's already in the wallpaper."



Carlos: "I swear, if anything happens to that kid because of you..."



Gabrielle: "Oh, it's perfume, not toxic gas."



Carlos: "Why are you acting this way?"



Gabrielle: "Because I see the writing on the wall and it scares the hell out of me."



Carlos: "Meaning what?"



Gabrielle: "From the second Xiao-Mei got pregnant, you have found a million and one ways to tell me that that baby is more important to you than me."



Carlos: "Oh, come on, Gaby."



Gabrielle: "No. Men can't help it. When they become fathers, they become lousy husbands. And some wives don't mind, but you didn't marry one of those women."



Carlos: "I don't think I can sleep in here tonight. The air is just a little too toxic."



Later, Carlos is scrunched up on the couch watching TV. Xiao-Mei enters with a plate of food.



Xiao-Mei: "She kick you out too?"



Carlos: "Marriage is complicated, Xiao-Mei. You'll find that out some day. Feel like watching some trashy American TV?"



Carlos sits up and pats the couch next to him. Xiao-Mei sits.



Xiao-Mei: "I made you sandwich. Roast beef."



Carlos: "Oh, Gaby's got me on this health kick thing. She'll kill me if I eat red meat."



Xiao-Mei: "I will not tell."



Carlos bites into the sandwich.



Xiao-Mei: "Taste good?"



Carlos: "Real good."



Betty's House



Betty comes downstairs to the basement carrying a tray.



Betty: "Matthew, wake up, I have your breakfast. I might be furious with you, but never let it be said that I'm cruel."



Betty takes the key off the tray and unlocks the large lock on the door.



Betty: "I advise you not to charge this door because I am not in the mood for any unpleasantness. Matthew? Matthew?"



She hears something behind her. Danielle runs out with a crowbar and hits Betty on the head. Betty falls to the ground.

Later, in her own bedroom, Bree is packing a suitcase.



Danielle's Voice: "Living in that house with you was like being in a prison. You drove me to do this, so I hope you blame yourself."

Danielle's Voice: "Have a nice life. Danielle."

Paul's House - Nighttime



Paul walks into the kitchen and slips, falling to the floor.



Paul: "Damn it!"

He looks down and sees a trail of blood leading to the garage. He follows the trail and goes into the garage.



Paul: "That psychotic bitch!"



He enters the garage and turns on the light, noticing a trail of blood leading to the back of his car. A police siren blares and a police car pulls up in front of the garage.



Later, the officers question Paul.



Paul: "There was no confrontation. Felicia Tilman's the one who made the call. She's the anonymous tip. Let's just go over there right now. I guarantee you the woman is having a cocktail, laughing her ass off!"



Sergeant: "You're not going anywhere yet, Sir."



The other officer searches the garage. He finds a bloody saw wrapped up in a bloody towel.



Paul: "Yes, I know there's blood everywhere. She probably got it from a pig, so she could vandalize everything I own!"



The officer looks in the back of the SUV.



Officer: "Sarge."



The Sergeant looks in the back of the SUV.



Paul: "What is it?"



Sergeant: "Put your hands where I can see 'em."



Paul, with hands raised, looks in the back of the SUV. Lying in the trunk is lots of blood and two bloody fingers.

Susan is standing in front of her burnt house. She smiles determinedly.



"Of course, some see great value in going it alone. For example..."



Mountain Cabin



A landlord enters the cabin with Felicia.



Landlord: "Sorry about the dust, Mrs. Huber. We don't get too many tourists this far up the mountain. First snows come and this place is completely cut off."



Felicia: "Dropping off the face of the earth. Now that's what I call a vacation."



The landlord laughs and hands the keys to Felicia. The keys fall to the floor.



Felicia: "Oh, I'm sorry."



Landlord: "Oh."



The landlord picks them up and holds them toward Felicia. Felicia puts out her bandaged hand with two fingers missing.



Felicia: "Sometimes, I'm just all thumbs."
