Susan: "Oh, god, here she goes again. What grade is he in?"



Gabrielle: "Not what I was gonna say. What I was gonna say is with all his conniving and trickery, I still love Carlos."



Lynette: "Yeah, he's hot."



Gabrielle: "Anyway, what if I never find that passion with anybody else?"



Susan: "Well, maybe you should try to patch things up with him."



Gabrielle: "Nah, I already paid a lawyer. I'm taking him down."



Lynette: "I brought this on myself. I tell Tom, 'I want you to be your own man.' But the truth is, I don't. I want him to have what he wants if it's what I want. I'm a bitch with a capital C."



Gabrielle: "No! No, you're not! You're a great wife and a great mother. Although, don't you have children?"



Susan: "I had passion with Mike. And drama. Lots of drama. Love isn't supposed to be that hard."



Lynette: "Oh! Oh, sweetie!"



Susan: "But, you know, with Ian, everything was always easy. You know, that's the kind of guy I could see myself living into my nineties with."



Gabrielle: "So go to Ian! Tell him you made the wrong choice, and he's the one you wanna be with. What have you got to lose?"



A cab pulls up to the curb in front of Lynette's house and the driver leans out to ask them a question.



Man: "Excuse me, ladies?"



Lynette: "Look, Susan, God called you a cab."



Man: "I'm looking for, uh, forty-three forty-seven, Ida Greenberg?"



The women look at each other.



Susan: "I'm Ida Greenberg!"



Susan stands up.



Lynette: "Mm-hmm. Yeah, you are!"



Gabrielle: "See you later!"



Lynette: "Go, Ida!"



Gabrielle: "Go, Ida!"



Lynette and Gabrielle: "Whoo-hoo!"



The cab drives past Ida, who's waiting with her luggage on the sidewalk.



Ian's House



Susan knocks on Ian's door. There's a party going on behind him.



Ian: "Susan. You came."



Susan: "Of course I came. Oh! Oh, I just love your house. It always smells like you. Oh, my gosh! What, is the thing, is that tonight?"



Ian: "Well, yes. Isn't that why you're here?"



Susan: "No! No, no! Actually, I just, I just had something to tell you."



Ian: "Well, of course."



A waiter with food walks by. Ian stops him.



Ian: "Ah, Doug, see if you can find Judith for me. Thank you."



The tray of food is right by Susan's face and she gets a nauseated expression on her face.



Ian: "Well, as long as you're here, I want you to meet that editor I was telling you about."



Susan: "Oh, I don't think that's a good idea, 'cause I, I didn't really bring my A game. Is it hot?"



Ian: "Are you sloshed? Susan!"



A man comes over.



Man: "Oh, is this the Susan you've been telling us all about?"



Ian: "Yes, this is she. Could you, um, give us a moment?"



Man: "Oh, of course."



Ian: "Um, what's going on?"



Susan: "Nothing. I just had a few drinks with my girlfriends, and thank god, because it gave me the courage to come over here and tell you what's really in my heart."



Ian: "Um, go on."



Susan: "But first, I think I should use the powder room."



Ian: "Uh, oh, oh, of course. It's, um, it's over there."



Susan rushes into the bathroom.



Man: "She seems nice, Ian."



Ian: "Oh, yes, she's, um, she's absolutely delightful."



The sounds of vomiting come from the bathroom. A woman comes running out and Susan peeks her head out, calling out to the woman.



Susan: "Oh, I'm so sorry that you had to see that."



The woman stands near Ian.



Ian: "I see you've met Judith."



Susan: "Oh!"



She closes the bathroom door.



Country Club



Bree, Orson, Carolyn, and Harvey are having dinner at the country club.



Harvey: "So with a hundred bucks riding on it, the pressure's on me now. I reach into my bag, I grab my four ron and bada bing...hole in one.



Carolyn: "And there's been no living with him ever since."



Orson: "Did I not tell you how hilarious these two are together?"



Bree: "Oh, they are a regular barrel of--Tish!"



Tish stops on her way past the table.



Tish: "Why, hello, Bree. Carolyn."



Bree: "Oh! Do you two know each other? Well, that saves me an introduction. Uh, Tish, you know, I was wondering if you need any help with the Christmas gala. Last year, I was on the decorations committee..."



Tish: "Oh, my god, I forgot to call you. What an idiot! We'll talk first thing tomorrow."



Bree: "That would be lovely. Thanks."



Tish: "Nice to see you."



Bree: "Nice to be seen."



Carolyn: "Well, I need to powder my nose. Care to join me?"



Bree: "Oh, I'd love to."



Carolyn and Bree go into the bathroom.



Carolyn: "I'm so happy we did this."



Bree: "Yes, me, too. It's been a delightful evening."



Carolyn: "So, so fun."



Carolyn turns to the attendant in the bathroom and hands her the empty tissue box.



Carolyn: "Could you get us some extra tissues? Thank you."



The attendant leaves.



Carolyn: "You know, I realized something just the other day. You've never seen a picture of Alma, have you?"



Bree: "No. Why?"



Carolyn: "Granted, it's not her best look."



She hands over pictures of Alma with her face all bruised and swollen.



Bree: "What is all this?"



Carolyn: "That's the police report that Alma filed after Orson hit her. It's all in there: the bruises, contusions, the broken wrist."



Bree: "This is not possible."



Carolyn: "Photos don't lie, Bree."



Bree: "Is this why you apologized?"



Carolyn: "Yes. I wanted you to spend time with me so you can see I'm not some crazy nut out to get you. I'm sorry, but if something like that happened again, I could never forgive myself."



The attendant comes back into the bathroom and hands the tissues back to Carolyn.



Carolyn: "Thank you. I had a feeling you might need these."



She offers Bree the tissues.



At the table, Harvey and Orson talk.



Harvey (to a waiter): "Bring me another one."



Orson: "Hey, buddy...you wanna slow down a little bit, huh? Harvey?"



Harvey: "Look, I'm going through something and I don't have anyone else to talk to about it. I had an affair."



Orson: "Uh, does Carolyn know?"



Harvey: "No, she has no idea. I met this girl on a flight from Paris, and, and we just, mmm, connected. No, I know it sounds crazy, but it was love at first sight. "



Orson: "Are you still seeing her?"



Harvey: "No, that's the thing. A few months ago, she stopped returning my calls and then I went by her place and I've looked for her everywhere, and she's just disappeared. No, I, I'll tell ya, now I know what you went through with Alma. It's brutal."



Harvey: "It gets better. Trust me."



Orson: "I, I just can't get past it. I, I'm, I can't get Monique out of my mind."



Harvey: "Monique?"



Orson: "That's her name."



Harvey: "Monique Polier. Isn't she beautiful?"



He shows Orson a picture of Monique.



Orson: "She's very pretty. "



Harvey: "They're back. You two girls were gone a long time. Everything okay?"



Carolyn: "Mm-hmm, absolutely. So, who wants dessert?"



Lynette's House



Tom comes home.



Tom: "Hey."



Lynette: "Hey."



Tom: "What have you been up to?"



Lynette: "Oh, just a quiet night with the girls."



Tom: "Listen, something happened tonight and it got me thinking and you mean more to me than any restaurant ever could."



Lynette: "Oh, stop right there. I am the one who should apologize. I have been a bad wife."



Tom: "No, no, no, no, no! You were just trying to keep me from doing something reckless."



Lynette: "Yeah, well, any wife can support a husband who never takes risks, and I don't want that kind of husband, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna be that kind of wife. So you open your pizza place, and we will find a way to make it work."



Tom: "You don't know how much it means to me to hear that. God, I love you. Ooh!"



Lynette: "Mmm. So what happened tonight?"



Tom: "Okay, but don't react until I've told you the whole story. And remember, it's actually a good thing, because it brought us back together."



Nora's Apartment



The front door crashes in as Lynette kicks her way into the apartment.



Lynette: "Ding-dong."



Nora: "I don't know what Tom told you, but he came on to me."



Lynette: "I'm sorry. I didn't quite catch that. Why don't you just come on over here and say that to me again?"



Nora: "Stay away from me."



Lynette: "I have been trying to stay away from you..."



Kayla comes into the room.



Kayla: "Mom?"



Lynette: "Everything's all right, so you can just go back into your room and play."



Nora: "Kayla! Don't move."



Lynette: "Okay. Never mind. I'm leaving. First, I'm just gonna give your mom a hug."



Lynette pulls Nora into an embrace and whispers into her ear.



Lynette: "Your association with my family is over. When Kayla comes to visit, you will drop her at the end of the block. You will never again see my husband, and if you try to, I will do to your spine what I just did to your front door. Nod if you understand."



Nora nods and Lynette pats her back. She turns to Kayla.



Lynette: "And you, I'm gonna see you on Saturday, right?"



Kayla smiles and nods.



Lynette: "Don't forget your swimsuit."



She leaves.



Susan's House



Ian is sitting at the kitchen table when Susan walks downstairs.



Ian: "Good morning! You're looking bright-eyed and bushy."



Susan: "Oh. Did you stay here all night?"



Ian: "Well, I slept on the sofa. When I brought you home, you were still, as you Americans say, tossing your tacos."



Susan: "Ooh, please, keep the food references to a minimum."



He hands her a cup of coffee.



Susan: "Bless you. Mmm. So what else happened?"



Ian: "You don't remember? Well, I'll tell you what. I'll repeat what you said last night, and you say whether it was you or the booze talking. Are you ready?"



Susan: "Mm."



Ian: "You said you missed me. Susan or booze?"



Susan: "Susan."



Ian: "You said it was a mistake breaking up with me and that you wanted to start again. Susan or booze?"



Susan: "Susan."



Ian: "Then you said that you wanted to dress me up like a schoolboy and spank my naughty bottom. Susan or booze?"



Susan looks confused. She catches Ian smiling and she smiles back at him.



Susan: "Oh, I didn't say that."



Ian: "Yeah, all right then, but if you had, um, Susan or booze?"



Susan: "A little of both, so, Boozan."



They both laugh. They touch hands and then lean in and kiss each other.



Police Station



The detective's phone rings.



Detective Ridley: "Detective Ridley."



Man's Voice: "Your Jane Doe in the morgue is named Monique Polier."



Detective Ridley: "Who's this?"



Man's Voice: "Just before she died, she was having an affair with a man named Harvey Bigsby. You got that?"



Detective: Ridley "Yeah. Uh, can I get your name? I'll need to bring you in for a statement."



The man hangs up and is revealed to be Orson, calling from a pay phone.



Gabrielle's House



Carlos is downstairs watching TV when Gabrielle calls to him from upstairs.



Gabrielle: "Carlos, could you come help me?"



Carlos: "I'm watching the game."



Gabrielle: "It'll just take a second. Please?"



Carlos walks into Gabrielle's room.



Carlos: "What, Gaby?"



He sees she's wearing a skimpy black dress.



Carlos: "Whoa. You look nice."



Gabrielle: "Oh, thanks. I'm gonna go meet some new friends for dinner. But my zipper's stuck. Can you help me?"



Carlos: "Man, this is really stuck. It's like somebody put superglue on it or something."



Gabrielle: "Huh. Weird. Well, you know what? I don't wanna be late, so I should, um, probably change."



She shimmies out of the dress and stands before Carlos wearing only lingerie.



Carlos: "Wow."



Gabrielle: "Oh, Carlos, this old thing? You've seen it all before. I'm just gonna wear the little blue number. Will you hand me those stockings? Oh, I've got a raggedy nail. You're gonna have to help me put those on."



Carlos: "Are you sure about that?"



Gabrielle: "Well, I'd do it myself, but I don't wanna get a snag."



Carlos: "It's been a long time."



Gabrielle: "Really? It seems like yesterday to me."



Carlos: "You want me to help you hook that?"



Gabrielle: "Sure. Why not? For old time's sake."



She wraps her leg around him, pulling him down to her.



Carlos: "What about your new friends?"



Gabrielle: "I've decided I'd rather catch up with an old one."



They begin kissing.



Carolyn's House



Harvey is outside his house watering his yard when Detective Ridley drives up. From inside the house, Carolyn watches through the window.



Detective Ridley: "Mr. Bigsby, Detective Ridley, homicide. I understand you know her."



He shows Harvey a picture of Monique.



Harvey: "Uh, all right, yes, we were sleeping together. Can we do this somewhere else?"



Detective Ridley: "Sure."



Carolyn continues watching them.



Gabrielle's House



Carlos and Gabrielle are lying in bed together.



Gabrielle: "Carlos, do you think we're making a mistake?"



Carlos: "What do you mean?"



Gabrielle: "The whole divorce thing. Maybe we shouldn't go through with it. It's not like we're gonna find this kind of passion with anyone else."



Carlos: "Are you saying you wanna stay together?"



Gabrielle: "Yeah. Yeah, I guess I am. Why don't we just put all of this behind us and stay together? What do you say?"



Carlos: "Oh, baby, if you knew how long I waited to hear you say that..."



He begins to laugh.



Gabrielle: "Well, what? What's so funny?"



Carlos: "Oh, man. I thought I'd be able to get through this without cracking up, but you are just too funny. There's a little something that I need to own up to. I know that the only reason you slept with me was because I got a new job."



Gabrielle: "You got a new job? Honey, that's wonderful!"



Carlos: "Gaby, please. You were a model, not a model slash actress. There is no job. The contracts in my desk were fake. I mailed them to myself."



Gabrielle: "What? Why would you do that?"



Carlos: "Well, let's see..."



He lifts the covers off of her and peers down at her body. She gasps and gets out of bed. He gets out of bed and begins to get dressed.



Gabrielle: "You did this just to get me in bed?"



Carlos: "No, I did it because I knew you'd smell money and come crawling back. Then I could turn you down and walk out on my own terms."



Gabrielle: Your terms?"



Carlos: "You don't get to screw around on me, take my money, and then walk away without a scratch. I want you hurtin', baby, and judging by the look on your face when you saw two million imaginary dollars disappear, I succeeded."



Gabrielle: "You are a bastard!"



Carlos: "Better a bastard than a whore."



She pushes him. He breaks through the window and lands on the front lawn, two stories below them.



Gabrielle: "Oh, god!"



She picks up the phone and dials a number.



Gabrielle: "Oh! Hello? Uh, there's been an accident. My husband, he..."



She looks out the window and sees that Carlos has disappeared.



Gabrielle: "I'm gonna have to call you back."



The front door slams.



Gabrielle: "Carlos? Honey?"



Gabrielle rushes downstairs and sees Carlos, furious, walking inside, broken glass stuck to his body.



Gabrielle: "Carlos?"



Carlos: "Oh, yeah. It's on."



He limps out of the room.



Church



"There is a place in St. Timothy's church where sinners go to confess their sins and once they're done, they expect absolution."



A woman leaves the confessional.



Nora's Apartment



"But the truth is, not all confessions are worthy of such forgiveness. Most who unveil hidden agendas deserve the condemnation they receive."



Nora, wearing a towel, sits behind her couch.



Gabrielle's House



"Most who disclose vengeful motives merit the punishment that follows."



Carlos sits on the bed, looking pained.



Susan's House



"Only the truly repentant have any right at all to expect a second chance..."



Susan and Ian lie together on the couch.



Hospital - Mike's Room



Mike: "C'mon, what's my surprise?"



Edie, wearing a slutty outfit, opens a door leading into the room. She strikes a post. Mike looks happy, then his brow furrows as a flashback comes to him.



Flashback: A door leading into the room opens and Monique, wearing a slutty outfit, strikes a post.



Monique: "I thought you'd never get here."



Present Time



"...which is why it's best to think twice before you confess..."



Edie: "Mike? What's wrong?"



Mike: "The girl who died."



"...especially if you don't know what it is you're confessing to."



Mike: "I think I knew her."
