Lynette: "Norma, wait! We're still on for next week! Norma! The water park! Right?"



Susan's House - Morning



Julie walks into the house. She goes upstairs to Susan's room and opens the door to see Karl and Susan, asleep in bed together.



Julie: "Mom! Mom? Mom, are you up? Mom, oh, my god!"



Susan: "Oh. Julie! I thought you were going straight to school."



Julie: "I, I needed money for lunch."



Karl: There's a twenty in my pants if you can find 'em."



Susan: "Oh, uh, Julie, uh oh, Julie, uh..."



Karl: "Honey."



Julie runs out of the room and goes downstairs. Susan follows.



Susan: "Okay, there is a good explanation for what happened."



Julie: "I doubt that."



Susan: "You probably don't know that your father and Edie broke up last night."



Julie: "You slept with him the same night he broke up with her?"



Susan: "Well, I said it was a good explanation, not a great one."



Julie: "Oh!"



Susan: "Oh, Julie."



Karl walks in buckling his pants.



Karl: "Hey, pumpkin."



Julie: "Don't even!"



Julie walks out.



Susan: "Oh, now I feel really awful."



Karl: "Me too."



Susan: "We should not have done what we did."



Karl: "I know, I know. But I gotta tell you, last night was the best sex ever."



Susan: "Wasn't it, though? You were fantastic!"



Karl: "Hey, I was just trying to keep up with you."



Susan: "Why do you think we got so good all of a sudden?"



Karl: "Because we've been angry at each other for so long, and we finally found a way to channel it."



Susan: "Maybe."



Karl: "So what happens next?"



Susan: "Well, I'm gonna take a shower."



Karl: "No, I, I mean with us."



Susan: "Us? What do you mean? There's no us."



Karl: "You can't tell me you can just walk away from this chemistry we got going. I mean, what happened last night was...explosive."



Susan: "Karl, last night was two old friends helping each other through a rough patch. That's it."



Karl: "Susie Q..."



Susan: "Karl, I want to move on. I don't want to go backwards. I'm sorry, but thank you for the explosion. I really needed it."



Susan leaves the room.



Gabrielle's House - Daytime



Gabrielle is putting on her Dolce and Gabana dress.



"After 48 hours of crash dieting, Gabrielle prepared to savor the fruit of her labor. But she was dismayed to discover that she herself had ripened considerably."



Gabrielle, unable to zip the dress up, goes out the front door and sees the gardener.



Gabrielle: "Ralph! I need help getting dressed. Get in here! Now!"



Ralph drops the rake and runs inside.



Gabrielle: "I have to fit in this, so for god's sakes, put some muscle into it."



Ralph: "I'm trying. It won't zip."



Gabrielle: "Well, try harder."



Ralph: "Oh! Ow. My hands hurt. I'm sorry, Ms. Solis, but I can't get you into this dress. It's just too small."



Gabrielle: "Get me into this dress, and I will pay you ten more dollars a week."



Later, Ralph's partner is holding onto the zipper with pliers while Ralph is holding on to Gabrielle.



Ralph's partner: "I think I got it. Hold on. Hold still. Here we go. One, two, three. There."



Gabrielle: "Oh! Thank god."



Gabrielle falls into a chair and the dress rips.



Betty's House



Betty and Matthew go into Caleb's room in the basement.



Betty: "We brought you some ice cream. I know how long it's been since you've had any. We'll have that in a minute, sweetheart. First, I want you to talk to me about what happened about Melanie."



Caleb: "I don't want to talk about her."



Betty: "You know it breaks my heart to keep you down here like this. But I can't let you out until I am positive that you will never hurt anyone else again. And the first step is for you to show me that you understand that what you did was wrong."



Caleb: "She was a bad person. She deserved it."



Betty: "No one deserves to die like that, Caleb. Don't you agree? Very well. If that's how it's going to be, this is how it's going to be."



Betty takes the ice cream and they leave the room and lock the door. Caleb jumps up and screams. He starts pulling at the chains that bind him to the bed.



Leonard and Norma's House - Nighttime



Tom and Lynette approach the house and ring the door bell.



Tom: "I can't believe we're doing this. If Leonard and Norma want to cut ties with us, who are we to stop them?"



Lynette: "They need to know we don't judge them for what they do in the privacy of their own home. And, well, it's not unheard of to tape yourself while you're having sex."



Tom: "Well, obviously, they were so embarrassed, they don't want anything to do with us. Maybe we need to respect that."



Lynette: "I need these play dates. Tom, we need these play dates."



Tom: "Fine. Fine. But you do all the talking."



Lynette: "Okay."



Norma opens the door.



Lynette: Norma..."



Norma: "Aah!"



Norma closes the door.



Lynette: "Wait!"



Tom: "Let's go."



Lynette: "No!"



Leonard opens the door.



Leonard: "Hi, Scavos. What are you guys doing here?"



Lynette: "Hi. Sorry for just showing up unannounced, but, um, could we talk to you for a minute?"



Leonard: "Sure, come on in."



Lynette: "So, um, we've been trying to contact you, but you haven't been returning any of our messages."



Tom: "And we really hope it isn't because of the porno video."



Lynette: "Home, home movies. The fact is, we really don't care, and it's certainly no reason to keep our boys apart."



Leonard: "We just don't know how they found it."



Tom: "But you know boys, they get, they get into everything, But seriously, it's not a big deal. I mean, just as long as you make sure it never happens again. It's the new millennium. We're, we're, we're hip."



Lynette: "You know, what we're saying is, we get it. You're just having fun. It's nothing to be ashamed of."



Later, the four of them sit in the living room drinking wine.



Norma: "I'm just so relieved this all worked out. At one point, we actually talked about selling the house and moving."



Lynette: "Oh, no!"



Norma: "Thank you for being so open-minded."



Tom: "Please, we're all adults. It's..."



Leonard: "I gotta tell you, the most embarrassing part of that video is how poorly it was shot. The production values are ca-ca."



Lynette: "Well, from a lay perspective, it looked very professional."



Leonard: "What you saw was an example of my earlier work. Since then, I've become much more adept at production."



Lynette: "Ah."



Leonard; "You know, editing and lighting."



Norma: "Leonard has always dreamed of directing movies."



Leonard: "Ironic, isn't it? I finally get my wish and no one ever gets to see my work."



Lynette: "That is a damn shame."



Leonard: "Norma, what do you think? Should we show them the room? Let's show 'em the room. Huh?"



Leonard takes Lynette and Tom into a dimly lit bedroom with filming equipment around the room.



Leonard: "Check out this baby. Three-chip high-def, twelve-eighty by seven-twenty lines of resolution, bounced lighting, and dark sheets so you don't get a kick off the pillows. Took me a while to learn that little trick. These walls are completely soundproof. You could scream your lungs out in here, and nobody'd hear you."



Norma: "It's true."



Leonard: "So, anytime you wanna set up a shoot, just let me know."



Norma: "You guys would love it. Once you get in front of that camera, you feel like a star."



Leonard and Norma's House - Outside



Tom and Lynette walk away from the house as Norma and Leonard stand on the porch.



Leonard: "Good night."



Tom: "Night." (whispering to Lynette) "I'm thinking no more play dates."



Lynette: "Not a one."



George's House - Nighttime



Bree knocks on the front door.



Bree: "Hey. We'd better hurry. The movie starts in twenty minutes."



George: "There's been a slight change in plans. My mother had a couple of friends who really wanted to meet you, and I thought, what the heck? It could be fun. Do you mind?"



Bree: "Uh, no, I, I guess not."



He opens the door fully to reveal a couple dozen people standing in the empty living room.



George: "Hey, everybody, this is Bree."



Everyone starts clapping. Bree smiles, waves, and walks inside.



Later, Bree and George are standing with Francine and several other people.



George: "And this is my Uncle Sid."



Bree: "Hi."



George: "My Aunt Rosalie."



Bree: "Hello."



George: "Oh, and this is Stan Grazi, who does my mom's taxes."



Stan: "She's a knockout, George. Guess I owe you an apology."



George: "Since I was single all these years, Stan kept telling my mom I was gay."



Stan: "I'm still gonna need some proof. But I guess I'll be getting that in about nine months, hey, Bree?"



Bree: "What happens in nine months?"



George: "That's just Stan's little joke about when we're gonna start our own family. Now just so you know, Stan, it's gonna be a while before we even think about kids. I want Bree all to myself for a while."



Francine: "Well, don't wanna wait too long. After forty, the eggs don't get any fresher. Am I right, Bree?"



Bree: "If you'll excuse me, I, uh, I have to go."



Bree takes the champagne she had been holding and walks out of the house. George follows.



George's House - Outside



George: "Bree, Bree, where are you going?"



Bree: "I am taking my champagne and my aging eggs, and I'm going home."



George: "What's wrong?"



Bree: "George, I'm starting to think that we made a mistake rushing into this engagement."



George: "What?"



Bree: "And I'm not the only one who thinks that. Other people have said the same thing."



George: "What others? Andrew?"



Bree: "No. Dr. Goldfine, my therapist."



George: "Your therapist? He doesn't know me."



Bree: "Well, he knows me, and certainly better than you do."



George: "How can you say that?"



Bree: "Well, for starters, he knows the last thing I'd ever want to do is have more children."



George: "Really? Well, I didn't know."



Bree: "But you should know that. That's the kind of thing that people who are engaged are supposed to know about each other."



George: "Well, it doesn't matter. I don't need children."



Bree: "It's not just that, George. Dr. Goldfine has other concerns about us being together, and I'm starting to think he's right."



George: "Look, I'll agree with Dr. Goldfine on one thing. We should slow things down."



Bree: "Really?"



George: "Yes. Just because two people are engaged doesn't mean they have to get married anytime soon."



Bree: "I'll talk to Dr. Goldfine about it tomorrow."



George: "Take whatever time you need."



She hands him the champagne glass, then gets in her car and drives off.



Betty's House



Matthew and Betty are walking downstairs to the basement.



Betty: "How many times am I gonna have to ask you to fix this step? Matthew, are you gonna answer me?"



Matthew sees the door to Caleb's room is wide open.



Matthew: "Did you leave the door open?"



They both see the binding lying on the floor in the basement.



Wisteria Lane - Nighttime



Betty and Matthew run outside. They start searching the neighborhood for Caleb.



Wisteria Lane - Daytime



Betty and Matthew are still searching for Caleb. Matthew comes out of the back yard of the neighbor.



Betty: "How'd you do?"



Matthew: "Not good. People are gonna start coming home from work soon."



Betty: "Okay. We can't panic. Caleb is scared. He doesn't know the area, so he's got to be close by. Which yards haven't you checked yet?"



They look at Bree's yard. Bree is working in her front garden. Betty approaches Bree while Matthew sneaks in the back yard.



Betty: "Bree, I desperately need your help."



Bree: "Oh, dear. What's wrong?"



Betty: "How do you get your hydrangeas to look so stunning? I'm systematically slaughtering my own garden."



Bree: "Do you really want to know my secret?"



Betty: "Oh, yes."



Bree: "Horse manure. I have it delivered. Susan makes fun of me, but the proof is in the pudding."



Bree's Backyard - Daytime



Matthew is searching the yard and doesn't see Danielle, who is also in the backyard, wearing a bikini and see-through robe. She holds a lit cigarette as she watches Matthew look through the windows of her house.



Danielle: "Hello."



Matthew: "Hey."



Danielle: "Looking for something?"



Matthew: "Uh, yeah. Actually, I'm looking for you."



Danielle: "Me? You're looking for me?"



Matthew: "Yeah. I've been thinking about you, and that time we met, I thought you were really cool."



Danielle: "So you came to ask me out? 'Cause I'll say yes."



Bree's Front Yard - Daytime



Betty: "Thank you."



Bree goes into her house and Matthew comes out from the backyard.



Betty: "Anything? Well, that was a waste of time."



Matthew: "Pretty much"



Susan's Front Yard - Daytime



Susan is watering her yard. Edie approaches.



Edie: "Did you hear the big news?"



Susan: "Uh, the big news?"



Edie: "Karl and I are back together."



Susan: "What?"



Edie: "And I know that he stayed at your place last night, which leads me to why I'm here. There's some stuff that I have to say, and it's not going to be pleasant."



Susan: "Edie, uh...".



Edie: "Whatever it was that you said to him really helped. He showed up with flowers and he apologized for everything. So, thank you."



Susan: "I'm sorry, what?"



Edie: "Well, I'm not gonna say it again. It hurt my teeth the first time."



Susan: "No, Edie. I mean, this is so unexpected on so many levels. I don't know what to say"



Edie: "Then say nothing. Oh, and, uh, here is the photo of you I found in our bed. I know he told you about it."



Susan: "Why are you giving it to me?"



Edie: "Look, I appreciate whatever it was that you did last night, but it's still important for you to understand that I won."



Susan: "You won?"



Edie: "Yeah. Whatever little hold you had on Karl is officially over. So you can stop feeling all smug and superior that he kept that thing."



Susan: "Believe me, I don't feel superior."



Edie: "Good, 'cause you shouldn't. He made his choice, and it's not you."



Susan: "You're right. He made his choice."



Edie smiles and walks off.



Gabrielle's House



Bree is altering the dress Gabrielle is wearing.



Gabrielle: "Bree, it's still too easy to breathe. You've gotta make it tighter."



Bree: "Gaby, if I make it any tighter, you won't be able to sit down."



Gabrielle: "I don't care. I can't have these girls thinking I'm pregnant."



Bree: "Do you actually think they're gonna make fun of you?"



Gabrielle: "Trust me. They're merciless."



Bree: "But why? I mean, surely they have friends who have children."



Gabrielle: "When I decided to marry Carlos, I told these girls I would spend the rest of my days being rich and in love and childless, and they laughed at me, and they said I would just end up being another fat hausfrau living a life that I didn't plan. I'm not gonna give them the satisfaction of knowing they were right."



Bree: "Well, maybe they'll just be happy for you."



Gabrielle: "Bree, my friends are models. They're never happy for anyone."



Bree: "Do you ever think you might like it?"



Gabrielle: "What?"



Bree: "Motherhood."



Gabrielle: "No."



Bree: "Oh, come on. You don't think you're gonna love your own baby?"



Gabrielle: "Well, I'm not saying I'm not gonna grow attached to the little bugger. I just don't have the motherhood gene. I wish I did, but I don't. What?"



Bree: "Well, I'm just smiling because I think a few months from now you are gonna come to me and tell me how madly in love you are with your new little baby, and I'm gonna have to resist the urge to say 'I told you so.'"



Gabrielle: "Maybe, but I doubt it."



Bree: "There you go. All done."



Gabrielle: "Ah. How do I look?"



Bree: "Positively glowing."



Gabrielle: "Bree."



Street



Dr. Goldfine is out jogging across a bridge. A man wearing dark clothing and a helmet pulled low passes Dr. Goldfine on a bicycle. The cyclist stops ahead of Dr. Goldfine, gets off of the bicycle, and starts stretching against the overpass wall.



As Dr. Goldfine gets closer, the cyclist looks up and it's George. As Dr. Goldfine passes him, George grabs the the doctor, hits him in the face, smashes his head on the concrete overpass wall and throws the doctor over the side of the bridge. George looks around, gets on his bike, and leaves the scene.

They all kiss and hug Gabrielle.



Bree's House - Nighttime



There's a knock on the door.



Gabrielle: "Bree? It's Gaby!"



Bree: "Honey, it's open. Come on in."



Gabrielle: "Hi. My, uh, friends just left, and I was hoping you could come over and cut me out of this thing."



Bree: "How was your little reunion?"



Gabrielle: "It was, um, weird."



Bree: "Weird?"



Gabrielle: "Well, Allison's mad because she's losing jobs to fourteen-year-olds, Holly is on a strict diet of cruciferous vegetables, and Yasmin is undergoing a new embryonic facial treatment that probably causes short-term memory loss. You know, I just stood there the whole night trying to remember why we were ever friends. And I couldn't."



Bree: "You know, honey, people change."



Gabrielle: "Yeah, but that's the thing. They haven't changed. That's who they've always been. I've changed, and I honestly don't know how."



Bree: "Well, maybe Susan, Lynette, and I have had a good influence on you."



Gabrielle: "I doubt that."



Bree: "Come on. When I finish up here, I will come over with my sewing kit and cut you out of that."



Gabrielle: "All right, but hurry up, because I've been having to pee since hors d'oeuvres. Are you free to go shopping tomorrow? I figured it's probably time I bought some clothes that actually fit."



Bree: "Well, I know a store that carries maternity clothes with designer labels."



Gabrielle: "I like the sound of that. Thanks."



Gabrielle's House - Nighttime



Gabrielle enters her darkened house. She goes into her kitchen and sees the freezer door is open. She closes it and leaves the room, not seeing the open ice cream carton on the counter.



Gabrielle washes and dries her hands in the bathroom, then sees a empty ice cream bowl sitting in her walk-in closet. She picks it up and turns around. Caleb is standing there. Gabrielle screams and throws the bowl at Caleb. Caleb bats the bowl away. Gabrielle runs out of the room and down the stairs She trips and falls down to the bottom on the steps.



Still lying on the floor, she watches as Caleb walks down the steps. Caleb stands over her and stares down at her, then walks out the door.



Later, police are at Gabrielle's house, investigating the scene. An officer is talking to Bree who is standing outside. Paramedics are carrying Gabrielle out on a stretcher.



"Yes, cameras are tools designed to capture images."



The paramedics start wheeling Gabrielle past Bree.



Gabrielle: "Wait."



Gabrielle whispers something to Bree.



Bree (to the paramedics): "Uh, she needs me to get something for her. I will be right back."



Bree runs inside.



"But in truth, they can capture so much more."



Edie's House



Karl is staring at picture of Susan. He tucks the picture into a book.



"They can uncover hidden longing of men who should no longer care."



Leonard and Norma's House



Leornard and Norma are watching the video the Scavos gave back to them.



"They can reveal the extraordinary secrets of the most ordinary marriages."



Gabrielle's House



Bree runs outside to the ambulance. She gets inside and places a photo in Gabrielle's hand. Gabrielle looks at the photo of the sonogram and holds it to her heart. She begins to cry.



"Most amazing of all, cameras can quietly and clearly reveal to us our dreams. Dreams we didn't even know we had."
