00:04Susan Meyer had always believed the one good thing about hard times is that you get to find
00:10out who your friends really are. When her grandmother died, it was Brie who brought
00:16homemade cookies. When the critics panned her third book, it was Gabrielle who hired
00:22the handsome masseur. When her divorce became final, it was Lynette who poured the scotch.
00:31Sadly, Susan's life had been shattered once again. But as always, her friends had
00:37come to help pick up the pieces.
00:40Susan?
00:42We've all been talking. We've decided you and Julie should stay with Brie.
00:46Oh, thanks. No, that's okay. We'll stay in a motel.
00:48Absolutely not. Just give me an hour or two to straighten up Andrew's room and then you can bring your...
00:53selves over. I don't deserve friends like you.
00:57We're aware of that.
01:01Susan, you're running low on trash bags. I'm going to run to the store.
01:05Thanks, Orson. Thanks for coming. You know you didn't have to do this.
01:08Hey, it's my pleasure.
01:14Mrs. Meyer!
01:18Hi. Bud Penrod, Town and Country Insurance. The can-do people.
01:23Oh, it's nice to meet you.
01:24Yeah. Look at that. Well, that's no fun at all, is it?
01:29No. No, it isn't. So, when am I going to get the check? Because I have a lot of rebuilding
01:34to do. I need to get started.
01:35Yeah. Well, I'm afraid that's going to be a while. You see, the fire department has ruled that this was
01:39arson.
01:42Arson?
01:42Yeah. So, we can't give you any money until we finish our investigation.
01:46Who would want to burn down my house?
01:48I don't know. Do you have any enemies?
01:51No. Oh, look at the whole neighborhood turned out to help. I'm very popular.
01:57And there's no one among them that wishes you ill?
02:01Oh, no. No. Everybody's been very helpful. Everybody likes me. Absolutely. Everyone.
02:10Yes. Hard times were what Susan used to distinguish who was a friend and who wasn't.
02:21Not everyone enjoys being a small part of a large community. Indeed, some yearn to leave the stress and noise
02:29of constant companionship behind them.
02:32So, they strike out on their own, hoping their solitude will bring a little peace and quiet.
02:37It's only then they discover how dangerous it is to be alone in the world.
03:07Oh, no.
03:14Zach, did you get the trash?
03:18How'd you get in here?
03:19Hiya, Paul. I stood at the back door shouting and shouting. Were you in the little boys' room?
03:24I'm calling the police.
03:25No need. I just needed to borrow some flour. I'm a little bit psychic and I predict fresh baked cookies
03:29in your future.
03:30Zachary.
03:33What'd she want?
03:33She was in the cupboard.
03:36Get a trash bag. We're throwing everything away.
03:38You think she was trying to poison us?
03:40All I know is, we're eating out tonight.
03:49What do you want?
03:50Uh, this is a little awkward and I apologize in advance for how this is gonna sound, but, um, by
03:58any chance, did you burn down my house?
04:03Yes.
04:04What?
04:05Yes, I burned down your house, you sleazy little whore.
04:08Edie, why would you do that?
04:11Can you blame me after sending me that acid letter?
04:15Letter?
04:16What letter?
04:17The one where you admitted to stabbing me in the back by sleeping with Carl.
04:22You weren't supposed to get that. I stole that back from the mailman.
04:25So you were trying to hide the truth from me?
04:27This is not what we should focus on right now. The point is, you maliciously set fire to my house.
04:33Look, I admit I might have overreacted a tad.
04:36A tad? Edie, I have no roof.
04:38You can't just go around burning down people's homes.
04:41Why not? You burnt down my home, you stole a mic from me, you slept with my fiance.
04:46That's the trifecta.
04:47You're lucky I didn't torch your car.
04:49That's it.
04:50I'm going to the police and I'm telling them what you did.
04:53Did what?
04:54I didn't do anything.
04:55Well, you just confessed.
04:57No, I didn't.
04:58Did anyone else hear me confess?
05:02Hello?
05:03Hello?
05:05No witnesses.
05:07No evidence?
05:08No confession.
05:10I guess we're done here.
05:11You can go home now.
05:13Oh wait, that's right.
05:15You don't have one.
05:26No, no, Chame, I've told you a million times.
05:28No red meat for Mr. Solis.
05:30My triglycerides are through the roof.
05:33Sweetie, I need some more cream.
05:40Chame, what's wrong?
05:44She smells.
05:46Who smells, Gabby?
05:48Excuse me, what?
05:50Her perfume make me sick.
05:53Honey, it's a hundred bucks an ounce.
05:55That tends to make everyone a little nauseous.
05:58Chame, your boobs, are they tender?
06:01Mm-hmm.
06:02Carlos, her boobs are none of your business.
06:04Gabby, think.
06:06She's sensitive to smell, nauseous, and has swollen breasts.
06:20Well, I just ran her blood work.
06:23Looks like the insemination was successful.
06:25Oh my god.
06:26We're gonna have a baby.
06:28Now, you should know, since she's experiencing early symptoms, this might be a tough pregnancy for her.
06:34Not a problem.
06:35We are gonna treat her like a queen.
06:37Absolutely, you have nothing to worry about here.
06:41Oh, Mr. Solis, you smell.
06:44Oh, yeah, okay, sorry.
06:52I think it's gonna be a kick having Susan and Julie stay with us.
06:55It'll be like living in a sorority.
06:57We'll stay up late and we'll gossip and make s'mores.
07:00Doesn't that sound like fun?
07:02Why are you pretending to be happy?
07:05I heard you walking around your room all night long.
07:08Crying.
07:10I don't wanna talk about it.
07:12Look, I know why you're worried, but Andrew can take care of himself.
07:16And if he can't, he shouldn't run away in the first place.
07:18You know what?
07:19Maybe Andrew leaving will be good for us.
07:21You are all I have left and I am gonna be the best mother that I can be.
07:27There's definitely room for improvement.
07:31It's just...
07:34You kind of forgot my birthday.
07:37What?
07:38Yeah.
07:39It was six weeks ago.
07:42Oh, my God, Danielle.
07:43I am so sorry.
07:45It's okay.
07:46You had a lot going on.
07:47I mean, Andrew was suing you and you were pretty wasted that month.
07:51Honey, you gotta let me make it up to you.
07:54I'm gonna throw you a birthday party with all your friends, okay?
07:58That could be cool.
08:01You know what else I'd like?
08:02Name it. It's yours.
08:05I want Andrew's room.
08:08You said he's probably not coming back and I could really use the extra closet space.
08:12But, sweetheart, this is...
08:14This is his room.
08:16Mom, you forgot my birthday.
08:18You're really in no position to negotiate.
08:21Honey, where am I gonna put all of his things?
08:23And, you know, he might come back at some point.
08:26He won't.
08:28Like you said, I'm all you have left.
08:34Atlantic City?
08:35Yeah, it's last minute.
08:37But Jerry got a great deal on a suite at one of the casinos.
08:39And a bunch of the old gang is coming in from New York.
08:41And, God, it's been forever since I've been, so...
08:44How can I turn that down?
08:45Yeah, how indeed?
08:48What?
08:49I didn't say anything.
08:50No, but you have that look.
08:53Is something wrong?
08:54No!
08:59Except that I know you've been to Atlantic City three times in the last month without telling me Ed found
09:04the receipts when he did the office audit.
09:06Other than that, no, nothing's wrong.
09:10Tom, it would be better for your general well-being if you did not laugh at this moment in time.
09:14Am I gonna have to ruin the surprise? Because it's a really good surprise.
09:19I'm thinking, yeah, I'll ruin it.
09:20I have been going to Atlantic City for business.
09:23I am up for a top spot with Jerry's firm, Huffington Promotions.
09:26And, if you don't believe me, you can call the CEO himself.
09:34I am so happy and I'm so relieved.
09:41Did you think I was cheating?
09:42No, absolutely not.
09:43Lynette?
09:44No!
09:45Okay, a little bit.
09:46I'm sorry.
09:47I'm sorry.
09:48Ed found receipts for flowers and theater tickets.
09:51I mean, by the way, did you-
09:53Jerry and I went to a show and the flowers were for Milt's wife.
09:56I knew that.
09:57You didn't have to tell me that.
09:58Why did you buy flowers for Milt's wife?
10:00Lynette.
10:01Sorry.
10:01Stop done talking.
10:02That's fantastic.
10:05I love you.
10:06I love you.

28:57Nine months of long nights on the couch loomed before Gabrielle, and she had decided
29:05she would not take it lying down, so she dipped into her supply of forbidden perfumes, determined
29:15that in this battle, she would be the one to come out smelling like a rose.
29:23I think I take a nap now.
29:25Yeah, sure.
29:26Knock yourself out.
29:44Honey?
29:45Honey?

30:01Hey, Mrs. McClussey, you haven't seen Lynette around, have you?
30:05She's not at home?
30:06She's not answering your cell phone?
30:08She packed up the kids and the puppy and left.
30:11Packed them up?
30:11Why?
30:12She followed you to Atlantic City.
30:14She knows about your other woman.
30:16Boy, you're just lucky you're not my husband.
30:27Hi.
30:33Okay.
30:37First, let me say I'm really sorry about the yellow jackets.
30:44And also, no matter how mad I am about what you did, I don't want to see you go to
30:48prison.
30:49So, I came up with a solution.
30:52Why don't you just come forward and tell the police that you saw some vagrant lurking
30:57by my garage with a can of gasoline, and if you do that, then I'll destroy the tape.
31:04And then the insurance company will pay the claim, nobody gets hurt.
31:08Does that sound good?
31:11Come closer.
31:13Oh.
31:14Oh.
31:21Take your stinking deal and shove it.
31:25Edie.
31:25Every time something bad happens to me, you're standing nearby.
31:29Well, I've had it.
31:31No more pretending to be friends.
31:33When I get out of here, I'm gonna destroy you.
31:36Okay, I'm just gonna think that this is the meds talking and I'll come back tomorrow.
31:42Don't bother.
31:44Okay, Edie.
31:45I'm in trouble here.
31:47Oh, I'm sure you'll turn on the waterworks and the whole neighborhood will come running.
31:51They always do.
31:52That's not true.
31:53Sure it is.
31:54You never miss an opportunity to play the victim.
31:57And you think just because everybody always comes to your rescue, it means that you're loved.
32:04Well, it doesn't.
32:05It means that you're helpless.
32:09Now get out.
32:11Just get out.
32:22Hey there.
32:23Hi.
32:25So you given any thought to staying at my place?
32:28Oh, yeah, that.
32:31Look, I really appreciate the offer but I think I'm gonna have to pass.
32:35Really?
32:36Yeah.
32:37I think it's best.
32:38I don't want to get a rep around here for being a charity case.
32:41Well, I didn't mean it that way.
32:42Just one friend helping out another.
32:46I know.
32:47But I can figure this out on my own.
32:49At least I'm gonna try.
32:52You know, I'm stronger than people give me credit for.
32:55I really am.
32:57Well, if there's anything I can do.
33:01You know what would be nice?
33:03Why don't you just stop over for coffee sometime?
33:07Okay.
33:08I mean, that is after I get running water and electricity again.
33:12And a coffee maker.
33:20I hope you're happy.
33:22That poor girl can hardly even come upstairs now because of you.
33:26Carlos, stop with the dance.
33:27It's already in the wallpaper.
33:28I swear, if anything happens to that kid because of you...
33:31Oh, it's perfume, not toxic gas.
33:34Why are you acting this way?
33:36Because I see the writing on the wall and it scares the hell out of me.
33:39Meaning what?
33:40From the second Chalmé got pregnant, you have found a million and one ways
33:43to tell me that that baby is more important to you than me.
33:46Oh, come on, Gabby.
33:47No, men can't help it.
33:49When they become fathers, they become lousy husbands.
33:52And some wives don't mind, but you didn't marry one of those women.
33:55I don't think I can sleep in here tonight.
33:57The air is just a little too toxic.
34:07Did she kick you out too?
34:11Marriage is complicated, Chalmé.
34:13You'll find that out someday.
34:15I feel like watching some trashy American TV.
34:17Gabby.
34:21I make you a sandwich.
34:23Roasted beef.
34:26Gabby's got me on this health kick thing.
34:27She'll kill me if I eat red meat.
34:30I will not tell.
34:41Tastes good?
34:44Real good.
34:47Matthew!
34:48Wake up!
34:49I have your breakfast!
34:51I might be furious with you but never let it be said that I'm cruel.
34:56I advise you not to charge this door because I am not in the mood for the unpleasantness.
35:03Matthew?
35:05Matthew!
35:07Ah!
35:15Geez, Anya.
35:16I thought you were just going to steal the key.
35:17Let's just get out of here.
35:33Mother, Matthew and I are running away together and we're never coming back.
35:36If you want me to be happy, you won't try to find us.
35:40Living in that house with you was like being in a prison.
35:43You drove me to do this, so I hope you blame yourself.
35:46Have a nice life, Danielle.
35:55Hello. My name is Bree Vandekamp and I'd like to admit myself for psychiatric observation.
36:00Alright, what seems to be the problem?
36:01I think I'm about to have a nervous breakdown.
36:13Dammit!
36:19What the hell?
36:27That psychotic bitch.
36:52What the hell?
36:58I'm so sorry.
36:59I'm so sorry.
36:59You're gonna be kidding me, lady.
37:00I didn't have to be a person.
37:02There was no confrontation.
37:04Felicia Tillman's the one who made the call.
37:05She's the anonymous tip.
37:07Let's just go over there right now.
37:08I guarantee you the woman is having a cocktail,
37:10laughing her ass off.
37:12We're not going anywhere yet, sir.
37:16Yes, I know there's blood everywhere.
37:19She probably got it from a pig
37:20so she can vandalize everything I own.
37:25Sergeant.
37:28What is it?
37:29Put your hands where I can see them.
37:37Man, she's good.
37:43It's a shocking moment for each of us.
37:45That moment we realize we are all alone in this world.
37:51The family we take for granted
37:53could one day abandon us.
37:59The husband we trust so implicitly
38:01might betray us.
38:05The daughter we love so deeply
38:07perhaps won't return to us.
38:10And then we could end up all by ourselves.
38:17Of course,
38:18some see great value in going it alone.
38:23For example...
38:24Sorry about the dust, Mrs. Huber.
38:26We don't get too many tourists this far up the mountain.
38:29First snow has come and this place is completely cut off.
38:32Dropping off the face of the air.
38:34Now that's what I call a vacation.
38:37I'm sorry.
38:38Oh.
38:42Sometimes I'm just all thumbs.
38:45Thanks, Sarah's.
38:46Nice.
38:46Bye-bye.
38:46Bye-bye.
