SUSAN'S HOUSE



Susan calls up Detective Ridley.



Susan: "Detective Ridley, my name is Susan Mayer, and I'm calling to "drop a dime" on someone. That's the expression, right?"



Detective Ridley: "Yes, ma'am. You've got the lingo down pat."



Susan: "Good. Uh, his name is Orson Hodge, and he had an affair with the woman that you think Mike Delfino killed."



Detective Ridley: "Monique Polier? Are you sure? Because Mr. Hodge saw her body in the morgue. He acted like he didn't know her."



Susan: "Well, he does, and so he's pretending he didn't. That's suspicious, right?"



Detective Ridley: "Well, um..."



Susan gets a call waiting beep on her phone.



Susan: "Oh, uh, can you hold on?"



She transfers over to the other line.



Susan: "Hello?"



Bree: "Susan. Hi. It's Bree."



Susan: "Bree? Uh...hi. Can you hold on a second?"



She switches back over to the detective.



Susan: "It's Orson's wife. She can't know I called you."



Detective Ridley: "Then how about you don't tell her?"



Susan: "Right. Sorry. Uh, I'm just new to this whole snitch thing. Hold on, okay?"



She switches back to Bree.



Susan: "Bree, hi. Sorry about that. Damn telemarketer. So what can I do for you?"



Bree: "I just feel really awful about our fight, and I-I think it's time for an apology."



Susan: "Bree, I am so relieved."



Bree: "Would you join Orson and me for dinner tomorrow night?"



Susan: "Oh, uh...sure."



Bree: "Good. I'll see you at eight o'clock."



Susan: "Bree...I just want you to know that no matter what, your friendship means the world to me."



Bree: "Oh, Susan, you know, I feel exactly--"



Susan switches back over to the detective.



Susan: "It's me again. You should also know that Orson spent a year in an asylum."



FLORIST



Gabrielle walks into the florist's shop.



Florist: "Hi. Can I help you?"



Gabrielle: "Hi. I received some flowers from your shop yesterday and the card didn't say who they were from. Can you check the name is Solis."



Florist: "Sure, sure. Just give me a sec here. Solis?"



Gabrielle: "Yeah."



The woman begins going through a box with orders in it.



Florist: "Solis...Solis...huh. This is odd. The buyer asked to remain anonymous."



Gabrielle: "Really? Uh, well, the flowers were so beautiful, I'd like to know who to thank."



Florist: "Sorry. I have to honor their request."



Gabrielle: "Why? They're just flowers. They're not government secrets."



Florist: "If you don't mind, I'm busy."



Gabrielle: "Well, okay, wait, wait, wait, let me explain."



Florist: "What's to explain? A pretty girl gets flowers. Do you know how many girls never get flowers? I work in a flower shop. I've never gotten any freaking flowers! So stop your whining about who sent them and just be glad he did."



She walks into a small cooler to put the flowers she was working on away.



Gabrielle: "You're right, and I am so sorry for taking up so much of your time."



She sneaks up behind the woman and locks her in the cooler.



Gabrielle: "Sorry for doing this."



Florist: "Hey! What the hell are you doing? Hey, hey, hey!"



Gabrielle: "I'm gonna make it up to you, okay? Once I'm done, I'll send you flowers."



Florist: "Hey! You won't get away with this! I know where you live!"



Gabrielle: "Yeah? Well, stop by. We'll hot tub."



Gabrielle begins rifling through the orders. Meanwhile, in the car, Bill is obviously becoming impatient. He gets out of the car and goes into the florist shop. The florist sees him.



Florist: "Hey, mister, help! She locked me in here!"



Bill: "Gaby?"



Gabrielle: "This is totally her fault. I mean, I simply asked her if Carlos sent me the flowers, and she refused to show me the order slip."



Bill: "Are you still hung up on that? For god sake."



Gabrielle: "No, no, no! Wait, wait, wait. I just need a couple more minutes. I need to know the truth."



Bill: "What truth is that, huh? That you're still obsessed with your ex-husband?"



Gabrielle: "What?! No, he's obsessed with me."



Bill: "You just imprisoned a florist to find out if he sent you roses."



Gabrielle: "Okay, I see what you mean."



She puts all of the orders back in the box.



Gabrielle: "There. I'm done. Let's go."



Bill: "Actually...I think I'm done, too. I'm sorry."



Gabrielle: "It's okay. I'm probably not ready to date."



She leaves the shop. Bill lets the florist loose.



Florist: "Thanks. And just so you know, I am ready to date."



RESTAURANT



Lynette stands up from a table where she was having dessert with the boys and Kayla. The boys stand up, too, but Kayla stays seated, her nearly full sundae glass in front of her.



Lynette: "All right, let's hit it. Now come on, Kayla."



Kayla: "I haven't finished my ice cream."



Lynette: "Well, I'm sorry, but we gotta go. I have a dinner party I have to get to."



Kayla: "They got to finish their ice cream."



Lynette: "Well, they, you know, wolfed it down like kids are supposed to. So... hurry it up."



Kayla takes a small, slow bite.



Lynette: "Kayla, I'm not fooling around. We--we're going."



Kayla continues to very slowly eat her ice cream.



Lynette: "Mm-hmm. Okay. Boys, go to the car. I'll be out in a minute. Go. Listen, sweetheart, I don't blame you for being angry. Your mom's gone, and you're stuck with me. But...the last thing she said to me was, "promise you'll take care of Kayla," and I am going to. But you're gonna have to help me, okay?"



Kayla: "We can leave when I'm done."



Lynette: "Okay, let's go."



Lynette grabs Kayla's arm to forcibly drag her out and Kayla begins screaming at the top of her lungs.



Lynette: "Hey, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay. What the hell are you doing?! Stop, stop! Stop screaming! Stop!"



Kayla: "Leave me alone! You're not my mommy!"



Lynette lets go of Kayla, who stops screaming and goes back to slowly eating her ice cream. Lynette goes out to the car where the boys are piled in the back seat, staring at her.



Lynette: "Guys, how would you like to eat dinner in front of the television for a whole week?"



Back in the restaurant, the three boys surround Kayla at the table.



Kayla: "What are you guys doing here?"



A few minutes later, the three of them are dragging Kayla out to the car. She's screaming.



Twin: "Kayla, stop screaming! You're hurting my ears!"



Parker: "Get in the car!"



Twin: "Come on! We're going home!"



Twin: "Get your seat belt on!"



They push her in the car and Lynette catches the eye of a woman passing by.



Lynette: "Kids. They're always rough housing."



WISTERIA LANE PARK - NIGHTTIME



Julie and Austin are lying on the ground, kissing. Austin pulls away.



Julie: "Why'd you stop?"



Austin: "Well, uh, it's getting late. I got your blouse unbuttoned. That's usually when we call it a night."



Julie: "Do you wanna call it a night?"



Austin: "What, do you wanna grab a pizza or something?"



Julie: "I wanna do what...you wanna do."



Austin: "Well...you know what I wanna do."



Julie: "Well, okay."



Austin: "Are you sure?"



Julie: "Yeah, I'm sure."



PRISON



It's lunchtime and Mike is picking at his food while seated at a table with two other inmates.



Inmate: "You can always spot the new guys by the way they pick through their food. So what did you do when you thought no one was looking?"



Mike: "The cops say I killed a woman."



Inmate: "But you didn't, right?"



Mike: "Actually, I have no idea. I got pretty banged up in an accident. The last two years are a blank."



Inmate: "Well...that's a fresh approach. I'm not sure the jury's gonna swallow it."



Mike: "It's the truth."



From a different table, another inmate turns around. It's Paul Young.



Paul: "I believe you."



LYNETTE'S HOUSE



Tom is tucking Kayla into bed.



Tom: "Okay, Mrs. McCluskey's downstairs, and we will be right across the street if you need us."



Kayla: "Okay, daddy."



Tom: "You know, I heard what happened with Lynette today. Hey, she's doing her best. Why you being so hard on her?"



Kayla: "'Cause it's her fault my mommy died."



Tom: "No. No, no, honey. It's not."



Kayla: "Mom only went to that store because Lynette was trying to steal me."



Tom: "Okay, that is not true. Look, honey, it is way more complicated than that. I know you miss your mommy and she loved you very much. But guess what? Lynette loves you, too. That's why you gotta give her a chance. Can you do that for me?"



Kayla: "Okay. I'll be good."



Tom: "That's my girl."



Kayla: "But I'm never gonna love her..."



From outside the room, Lynette is listening in.



Kayla: "...and you can't make me."



OUTSIDE MIKE'S HOUSE



Gabrielle walks up to Carlos, who's sitting on the front porch, drinking.



Gabrielle: "Well, you've won."



Carlos: "What did I win?"



Gabrielle: "Bill and I split up."



Carlos: "Can't say I'm surprised. He wasn't right for you."



Gabrielle: "I know. So just admit you sent the flowers."



Carlos: "I didn't."



Gabrielle: "Carlos, just tell me. I won't be mad. I promise."



Carlos: "Gaby, if I was gonna send you flowers, I wouldn't send you pink roses. I'd send you white orchids, because I know they're your favorite. And if I wanted to cheer you up--sunflowers. And for the flu... blue irises."



Gabrielle sits down next to him.



Gabrielle: "I hate that you know me so well, and it took so long for that to happen. Now I have to start over again with somebody else."



Carlos: "Yeah. That's what dating is for. I know, and it sucks."



Gabrielle: "I mean, you saw me. I went on a picnic and ate pudding out of a can. It was horrible."



Carlos: "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I dragged to the ballet the other night."



Gabrielle: "So you are dating. That's why you've been lifting weights and jogging."



Carlos: "Well, if you wanna bag the big game, gotta work on the guns."



Gabrielle: "I'll give you this--you're gonna be a tough act to follow, Carlos."



Carlos: "Back at ya, babe."



BREE'S HOUSE



Bree goes into a side room where Alma is touching up her make-up.



Bree: "I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, but I don't want to introduce you until all my guests are here."



Alma: "I don't mind."



Bree: "By the way, when my friends ask you what happened--and they will--I don't think it's necessary to go into all that unpleasantness about Orson and Monique. All they need to know is that you're back and we're on good terms."



Alma: "And Orson didn't kill me."



Bree: "And Orson didn't kill you."



The doorbell rings.



Bree: "Oh, okay, just one minute. That'll be Susan."



She leaves and Alma takes out a small case with a syringe and needle lying in it. She takes it out and injects her thigh with the needle.



In the foyer, Bree lets Ian and Susan in. Susan hands Bree a covered cake dish.



Susan: "Hi. I brought you a bund cake. Don't worry. I didn't make it."



Bree: "Oh, you didn't have to do that."



Susan: "I was really touched by your call. It was so big of you."



Bree: "Well, when you're wrong, you're wrong."



Later, everyone is gathered around the table, ready to begin eating.



Bree: "Now that we're all assembled, I'd like to introduce the guest of honor. I hope you'll all be as delighted to meet her as I was. You can come in now."



Alma walks in.



Bree: "Everyone, this is Alma Hodge, Orson's first wife."



Everyone looks stunned. Bree leans over to whisper to Susan.



Bree: "Oh, about that apology...any time you're ready."



Later, everyone is eating dinner.



Lynette: "So you have been in Canada this entire time?"



Alma: "Well, my Aunt Agnes has a place in Winnipeg. I hadn't planned on staying so long, but I needed the time to find myself."



Gabrielle: "It would've been nice if someone else could've found you. There was a whole lot of drama around here."



Alma: "Yes, I heard. People actually thought Orson had done away with me?"



Bree: "Amazing, isn't it, where some people's minds will go?"



Later, Gabrielle, Lynette, and Susan are washing dishes and preparing for dessert in the kitchen.



Lynette: "Well, you gotta hand it to her. Just when you think Bree's thrown every conceivable theme party she hosts a "shame on you for thinking my husband killed someone" dinner."



Susan: "So Alma's alive. Big deal. We still don't know what went down between Orson and Monique."



Gabrielle: "Susan, please. We look stupid enough for suspecting him. Just let it go."



The doorbell rings. Bree answers it and Susan can see that it's Detective Ridley and a police officer.



Susan: "It may be a little late for that."



Bree: "Detective Ridley. Can I help you?"



Detective Ridley: "Yes. I'd like to speak to your husband."



Bree: "Oh, well, I'm afraid he's not here, but I will be happy to tell him that you came by."



From the other room, Orson calls out to her.



Orson: "Who is it, darling?"



Detective Ridley: "Excuse us."



They walk past her.



Bree: "Can't this wait? We're having a dinner party."



Detective Ridley: "Hello, Dr. Hodge."



Orson: "Detective Ridley."



Detective Ridley: "We need you to come with us. We have some questions about that Jane Doe we showed you in the morgue."



Orson: "Why do you think I'd know anything about her?"



Detective Ridley: "Well, you were having an affair with her when she died."



Orson: "Oh, where did you hear that?"



Bree: "Susan?"



Susan: "I didn't know they were gonna come tonight."



Orson: "Uh, I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have. My apologies. Please, stay. Enjoy the dessert."



Orson leaves with the detective and cop. Bree turns to Susan.



Bree: "I don't believe this. You called the police?"



Susan: "Well, obviously, you weren't going to. They needed to know that that dead woman was Orson's mistress."



Bree: "I told you that in confidence."



Susan: "Did you seriously think I could sit on information that would exonerate Mike? I mean, if you had seen his face in jail the other day..."



Ian: "The other day? You--you saw Mike?"



Susan: "Yeah. I--just to tell him about the lawyer. I know that Mike is innocent."



Bree: "Right, just like you knew she was dead."



Ian: "I thought we had an agreement."



Susan: "We do. Can we talk about this later?"



Ian: "When? After your next conjugal visit?"



Ian leaves the room. Susan rushes after him.



Susan: "Ian. Wait!"



Bree: "Boy, when it comes to Mike there's no one you won't betray."



Susan: "Excuse me?"



Gabrielle: "Hey, guys..."



Bree: "Please leave my house."



Susan: "Bree!"



Bree: "You heard me. Get out!"



Susan: "Okay, Bree, I know you're angry, but for the sake of our friendship--"



Bree: "Oh, make no mistake, our friendship is over."



Susan and Bree go in separate directions.



Lynette: "Okay. You go..."



Gabrielle: "Okay."



Gabrielle goes after Susan and Lynette goes after Bree.



Everyone has left the room except for Tom and Alma, who are still sitting at the table.



Tom: "So, Winnipeg...must get pretty cold up there."



In the other room, Ian grabs his coat. Susan blocks the entrance to leave.



Ian: "I'm just getting my coat."



Susan: "Ian, please, I just lost one of my best friends. I can't lose you, too."



Ian: "You said that you wouldn't see him again."



Susan: "But you had to know that I would go one more time to just explain everything."



Ian: "Actually, no, I didn't."



Susan: "Well, that's just crazy! Why are you acting like a crazy person?"



Ian: "Because you've already left me once for this--this guy!"



Susan: "Things are different now! I-I love you! You--you don't have to worry about that anymore. If we're gonna make this relationship work then you have to trust me and why are you smiling at me?"



Ian: "You just said that you love me."



Susan: "Yeah? So?"



Ian: "Well, you've never said that before."



Susan: "Yes, I have."



Ian: "No. I-I-I would've remembered."



Susan: "Well, I'm saying it now. I love you. Do you have a problem with that?



Ian: No, ma'am.



He leans in and kisses her.



Susan: "You--you--you can't kiss me now. I'm yelling at you."



Ian: "Well, I'm listening."



He moves around behind her and begins kissing the back of her neck.



Susan: "Well...don't--don't think that you can get out of this, you know, by just...oh, god. Oh, yeah, uh, oh, yeah, right--right there. Oh, right there."



AUSTIN'S ROOM



Austin is lying on his back in his bed. A woman's arm is draped over his chest, the rest of her hidden from view.



Austin: "Look, I think we should stop doing this. I know it's my idea, but it just doesn't feel right anymore."



The woman lifts her head and it's Danielle.



Danielle: "So you slept with Julie. It's no big deal."



Austin: "Well, it is to her and I don't want to see her get hurt."



Danielle: "Me, either. So let's just not tell her."



EMPTY HOUSE



Edie is showing Paul Young's old house to a prospective buyer who's out of sight.



Edie: "There's no place in Fairview that's more peaceful. All the floors are hardwood. Oh, there are brand-new appliances. And the gardens are...well, they're beautiful. So...what do you think?"



She turns to the buyer and it's Alma.



Alma: "I'll take it."



Edie: "Really? That's terrific! I'll draw up the papers in the morning."



Alma goes to look out the window.



Edie: "If you don't mind me asking, why were you so interested in this particular street?"



Alma: "I've been moving around a lot in the last few months, and I need a place where I can really settle down. You know what I mean? I wanna live in a place where children know how to behave, where people still have some sense of moral value, and where friendships are good and strong and last forever. That's what I'm looking for.



Edie: "Then I think Wisteria Lane is the place for you."



Alma: "Good. More than anything, I just wanna fit in."



She continues to watch the activities of the neighborhood through the window.



Mary Alice: "Oh, you will, Alma. You absolutely will."
