00:04The annual block party was a winter tradition on Wisteria Lane.
00:11It was a way for the residents to spread holiday cheer.
00:16Everyone was invited, including Art Shepard, the newest resident of Wisteria Lane.
00:26But as the big night drew near, more than holiday cheer was being spread around.
00:32Hey, did you hear about the new guy that just moved in?
00:35Well, get a load of this.
00:38Apparently, the pervs got all this weird stuff in his basement.
00:41No, seriously. It's like this big kiddie trap full of degrees.
00:48By Sunday evening, most of the gossiping had subsided,
00:51and the neighborhood was once again consumed by the spirit of the season.
00:56Friends laughed over eggnog.
00:59Lovers kissed under mistletoe.
01:02And the mood was jolly.
01:06That is, until a certain guest made his appearance.
01:18Ho, ho, ho!
01:22Look who's here!
01:26Merry Christmas, everybody!
01:29Merry Christmas!
01:31Don't you do that, don't you.
01:33Now, kids, who's been good this year?
01:46Oh, come on! Everybody was naughty?
01:50What am I gonna do with this fire truck?
01:53Toby, get back here!
01:58What's going on?
02:01I'm not sure.
02:04Let's go, girls.
02:08I knew we should go.
02:13Yes, for the residents of Wisteria Lane, it was the most wonderful time of the year.
02:23But for Arthur Shepard and his sister, it had turned out to be a very silent night.
02:31For the residents of Wisteria Lane, the holiday season could only begin once the decorations came out.
02:41For some, that meant pulling out the colored lights.
02:46For others, it meant locating that holiday wreath.
02:51And then there were those eager to display their nativity scene.
02:57But for a romantic view, it was all about the mistletoe.
03:03You have to kiss me, it's the law.
03:08While you're in a good mood, I thought I'd spring something on you.
03:10My parents are coming to town.
03:12Your parents? Really?
03:13And I wondered if you might be free to join us for dinner, Saturday.
03:17Absolutely.
03:19So, I assume this means they know about me?
03:21Well, of course.
03:22And they know about me as in, mum, dad, bloody good news, I've got myself a smashy new girlfriend.
03:27That's adorable. Please don't do it in front of them.
03:30Right.
03:32So, do you want me to make reservations at that little French place?
03:35We could do that, but it's a four-hour layover and they're going to be exhausted.
03:39And I thought we might have a more enjoyable time if they came here and you made dinner for them.
03:46Okay. I guess it's time we have the conversation.
03:52Ian, haven't you ever wondered why I've never cooked for you?
03:55I just assumed that you were lazy.
03:58I wish.
04:00My cooking is not good.
04:03Well, my parents won't be expecting a gourmet meal.
04:06Will they be expecting stomach cramps, acid reflux, night sweats?
04:09Come on, you can't be that bad.
04:16Oh, is it really important that I make them a home-cooked meal?
04:21It's just that they're very old-fashioned, hearth and home types, and they might wonder why you didn't make the
04:26effort.
04:28But it's okay. You win them over. Eventually.
04:34Okay. I'll give it a shot.
04:40No, nothing elaborate. Just a simple roast and something appropriate to go with it.
04:44Right. Like an ambulance.
04:54Amy, small steps. Small. Let them stop like glides. She doesn't stomp.
05:00Is that better?
05:01Getting there, sweetie.
05:04If she was a horse, we'd have to shoot her.
05:07Poor thing. She tries so hard.
05:09Yeah, she's a trooper. Let's dump her.
05:11What? Why?
05:13Pageant consultants are judged on the strength of their roster.
05:15You know, we can't afford to bounce every nose-picking no talent, but we can definitely lose the one who's
05:19dragging us down, and that's Amy.
05:20We can't do that. Her mother died last year.
05:23Yes, I know, I know, and it's tragic, but we are running a business.
05:26Amy is sucking up all of our time, and we should be focusing on Sherry. She actually has a shot
05:30at winning.
05:32How will they tell her family?
05:34We'll do it together. We'll be very diplomatic.
05:36Are you sure about this? The poor kid's been through the wringer.
05:38Amy! For God's sakes! Little Miss Snowflake does not scratch down there!
05:44Well, that didn't get her mother died a year ago. How long is she gonna milk it?
05:50Mother Hodge, I have your breakfast.
05:52Just put it over there. I'll pick through it later.
05:58What are you watching?
05:59Home movies.
06:01It's fun looking back at the past, isn't it?
06:04Well, it's one way to kill time while you're waiting for death.
06:09We also have cable.
06:12Have you decided what you're gonna do about Orson?
06:15Decided? Yes.
06:16Have you called a lawyer yet?
06:17I don't think that's any of your concern.
06:19I don't mean to pry, but I think you're a good Christian woman, and you deserve better than my son.
06:26Well, I will take that under advisement.
06:28If you give him a chance, he'll draw you back in. It's what he does.
06:33Just walk away.
06:34It's not that easy.
06:36I love him.
06:38You'll get over it.
06:40I did.
06:44Hi!
06:49Hello?
06:53Merry Christmas!
06:54Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:58Well, believe me, Rita, he scares me too.
07:01You know what? We should have a meeting.
07:03Get all the moms together and figure out what to do about this guy.
07:08It's Saturday. Your house sounds good.
07:15Hey, Rita, I gotta go.
07:21Sorry, I can't talk now. I have somewhere to go.
07:23Well, my brother doesn't.
07:24The youth center just fired him.
07:27Are you happy?
07:29I'm not sad. He shouldn't be around kids.
07:31I saw those pictures.
07:32Those boys were on his swim team.
07:35He was proud of them.
07:37Turning that into something dirty says more about you than him.
07:40You can defend him all you want.
07:41I know what I know.
07:47Did you know my brother got spit on at the hardware store yesterday?
07:51That they refused to serve us at the diner?
07:55That our tire got slashed at the church parking lot?
08:01I am not a well woman.
08:03I don't need this stress.
08:08Well, I am sorry that happened.
08:11Have you considered, even for a moment, that you could be wrong?
08:14That you misinterpreted what you saw?
08:16That you are ruining my brother's life and mine over nothing?
08:23I have kids.
08:24Okay?
08:25Better safe than sorry.
08:28As long as you're safe, what do you care who's sorry?
08:45So I'm cooking dinner for Ian's parents tomorrow night.
08:48And it's the first time I'm meeting them, so I sort of want to impress them.
08:52And yet you're cooking?
08:54Well, that's the thing.
08:55So I was hoping, you know, if you're not too busy.
08:58Oh, no, no.
08:59These things practically build themselves.
09:02You are a lifesaver.
09:04Actually, I could probably use the distraction.
09:09Oh?
09:11I asked Orson to move out last night.
09:16Oh, come on.
09:17Why would you bury your toolbox in the woods?
09:19I knew the cops were looking for it, and I panicked.
09:22I'm just trying to buy myself some time.
09:23Well, you may have bought yourself 20 to life.
09:25I'll let the guy enjoy his breakfast.
09:27Stay out of this, Carlos.
09:29Mike, I want you to look at me.
09:30You look me in the eye, and you swear to me that you didn't kill anybody.
09:34How many times do I have to tell you I can't remember?
09:37You can't remember, or you don't want to remember.
09:39Um, gosh.
09:41Thanks.
09:52Brie, you have got to go to the police with all of this.
09:54I can't.
09:55Not yet.
09:55I need some time to think.
09:57His wife goes missing, then his mistress turns up dead.
10:00What is there to think about?
10:04I know it sounds suspicious, but in my heart of hearts,
10:07I just can't believe that Orson could do such a thing.
10:09Sweetie, we all want to believe the best of the people we care about,
10:12but you cannot let your feelings for a man blind you to cold, hard facts.
10:18What in the world?
10:23Oh, my God.
10:28What's going on?
10:29They just arrested Mike for murder.
10:31What?
10:32You're saying he killed that woman on the news, that Monique person.
10:37Oh, thank God.
10:41I can't believe we're going to break that little girl's heart.
10:44Do not wimp out on me here.
10:45We're going to do what's best for the business.
10:46What if the father yells at me?
10:47Then I will jump in and defend you.
10:49Okay, but if you do, try and be diplomatic.
10:51I'm always diplomatic.
10:52No, just get in there, you spineless mo.
10:56Excuse me, Mr. Pierce.
10:59I'm so glad you could come today.
11:01This is my partner, Gabrielle.
11:04Pleasure to meet you.
11:07Shall we?
11:11So, what did you want to talk to me about?
11:13Is there a problem with Amy?
11:14Not a problem, per se.
11:15We're just a little concerned that she might not have the temperament for pageant competitions.
11:21And what does that mean?
11:22Well, when it comes to performing, she's not exactly...
11:28Well, she tends to be.
11:30Feel free to jump in.
11:31I have no idea where you're going with this.
11:37Well, as Gabby and I discussed, Amy has certain limitations.
11:41And her odds of winning are slim.
11:42Fern!
11:44He is so competitive.
11:45I constantly have to remind him they're just kids.
11:49When did you lose the joy?
11:50Oh, I think you know.
11:52Wait, I'm confused.
11:53Are you dumping Amy?
11:55Of course not.
11:55Bill?
11:56Can I call you Bill?
11:59It's just we feel that Amy would benefit from some private coaching.
12:02Maybe I could come to your house, say, Friday 5 o'clock?
12:08Sure.
12:09Yeah, I guess.
12:10Great!
12:11It's a date.
12:13Maybe I should come, too.
12:15After the harsh things you said about Amy, I don't think so.
12:21I'm going to need a good lawyer.
12:23And that may take a little research.
12:25Uh-huh.
12:25And whoever takes my case will need a retainer.
12:27So if you don't mind, I promise I'll pay you back.
12:30Oh, okay.
12:32And make sure he knows about my wrench.
12:33Apparently they tested it and found traces of this Monique's blood.
12:40What's wrong?
12:42I don't know if you picked up on this, Mike, but...
12:46I haven't been happy.
12:49No, I didn't pick up on it.
12:51Well, I wanted to tell you this weeks ago, and I wish that I had,
12:54because now I know you're going to think that I'm breaking up with you
12:56over this whole blood on the axe thing.
12:58Wrench.
12:59Whatever.
13:00But believe me, that's not it.
13:04It's just...
13:06We are moving too fast.
13:09What are you trying to say?
13:11Well, maybe we should just take a break, you know?
13:15To hit other people.
13:18You're telling me this on the day I'm put in a man's prison?
13:22Well, I said the timing was bad.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:28I...
13:28I really am.
13:30I just can't do this.
13:49They told me somebody was coming, but I did not expect it to be you.
13:53Is Edie getting you a good lawyer?
13:56I doubt it.
13:58She dumped me today.
14:00What?
14:00Why?
14:01Well, I was arrested for murder.
14:04Still...
14:06It's tacky.
14:09Okay, then.
14:12I'll help get you out.
14:15What's your bail?
14:18A million dollars.
14:21Oh.
14:23You don't have to help me, Susan.
14:28I want to.
14:32Aren't you going to ask?
14:35What?
14:37If I killed that woman.
14:41I don't have to.
14:42I know you didn't.
14:46I wish I was that sure.
14:52I...
14:53I have these flashes.
14:54Where I see her face.
14:56So I must have known her.
14:57If I did, maybe something happened.
14:59Maybe I got angry.
15:00Maybe...
15:00There's an explanation for this.
15:02We're going to figure it out.
15:05Don't worry about a thing.
15:16Miss Gabrielle!
15:17When are you going to come outside and watch me?
15:18Oh, um...
15:20The grass, honey, and my allergies.
15:22Go ahead and practice.
15:23I'll watch you from here.
15:26Are you sure I can't help with anything?
15:28I've been a single dad for a while now.
15:31I've got the dinner thing down.
15:32I've got the restaurant thing down.
15:34I can't bring myself to cook for one.
15:37Not that I ever cooked for two.
15:39Well, no restaurant tonight.
15:41You are having dinner with us.
15:43Oh, that's sweet.
15:44That's the least I can do to thank you for helping Amy.
15:46No, it's nothing.
15:54Yeah, she's a special girl.
15:57So?
15:59How was it for you?
16:01Being single again.
16:03Oh, honestly, um...
16:06I hate it.
16:07It's like I've forgotten how to date.
16:09Me too.
16:10You know, I even let a friend of mine
16:11talk me into one of those speed dating things.
16:13How was it?
16:14I didn't even go in.
16:15I just sat in this hotel lobby.
16:17Watched all these lonely, desperate,
16:18single people filing in,
16:19and then it hit me.
16:21I'm one of them.
16:23I know what you mean.
16:28Did you see that?
16:29It's been three times and then I caught it.
16:32You didn't see?
16:33Yeah, I'm sorry, sweetie.
16:35I was distracting Gabrielle.
16:36Oh, no, no, it's totally my fault.
16:38I'm sorry, sweetie.
16:39Go outside and do it again.
16:40I promise.
16:41This time we're going to watch.
17:00Hey.
17:01Wow.
17:02Oh, those are gorgeous.
17:03Well, I figured you'd be too busy cooking
17:05to manage a centerpiece.
17:08Well, you may not be a good cook,
17:11but you're certainly a tidy one.
17:12Don't worry.
17:13Dinner's all taken care of.
17:14We're having Blanquette de Vaux
17:16and Grand Marnier souffle.
17:18Well, that's very ambitious of you.
17:20And when will Bree be done making it?
17:235.30.
17:24But I am rewarming it all by myself.
17:27Oh, what's all this?
17:30Mike was arrested for murder.
17:32My God.
17:34I mean, of course, he's totally innocent.
17:36I'm just trying to help him find a lawyer.
17:38Oh.
17:38Shouldn't his girlfriend be doing that?
17:41Yeah.
17:42Maybe he dumped him.
17:43Hmm.
17:46Okay, I know how this looks,
17:48but I just feel bad.
17:51He's just a friend now.
17:53Yes.
17:54Yes, a friend you sat by for six months
17:56hoping he'd wake up and ravish you again.
17:59You are the only one allowed to ravish me these days.
18:02So stop worrying.
18:09Orson, it's me again.
18:11Please call.
18:12I need to talk.
18:14You always do the chips.
18:15I think you're so good.
18:16Well, I'll do the chips.
18:18You got it.
18:21Guys, why has it been so long since we played poker?
18:24I really need this.
18:25Oh, me too.
18:25There's nothing more relaxing
18:27than an afternoon of finger food and girl talk.
18:30Hi, ladies.
18:31Hey, how are you doing?
18:33So did you tell the police
18:34that you think Orson killed Monique?
18:36What?
18:37No, I did not.
18:39And I don't want to.
18:40But Mike is in jail.
18:41And you said yourself you thought Orson did it.
18:43I said I had concerns.
18:44Concerns that have disappeared
18:46now that Mike has been arrested.
18:48What are you saying?
18:48You think Mike is guilty?
18:50Hey, why don't we start that girl talk?
18:51I'll get the ball rolling.
18:53Anybody have a yeast infection?
18:55They found Monique's blood on the wrench
18:57that Mike was trying to dispose of.
18:59I mean, that hardly screams innocence.
19:01Her teeth were pulled.
19:02You don't think that's worth telling the cops
19:04she was messing around with a dentist?
19:06Orson was slipping it to the dead chick.
19:08Mike is innocent.
19:09I know that in my heart.
19:11We all have convictions, Susan.
19:12I believe Mike's last one was for manslaughter.
19:14Okay, okay.
19:15We've all made some excellent points
19:17and blown off a little steam.
19:19Whew.
19:19Let's play some cards.
19:22If you're so sure that Orson is innocent,
19:24why don't we go through his things?
19:25Where's his desk?
19:26At his office.
19:27And what did you think you'd find there anyway?
19:29I don't know.
19:30A blackmail letter?
19:31A necklace made of teeth?
19:32We're not going to play cards, are we?
19:34Nope.
19:35Well, I am certainly not playing with a woman
19:36that is willing to let Mike take the ball
19:38for her psycho husband.
19:39Well, needless to say,
19:40I won't be cooking dinner for Ian's parents.
19:42Fine.
19:42I'll cook myself.
19:44Good.
19:44Let me know if there are any survivors.
19:46And if you take Orson back,
19:48you do the same.
19:55Well, that was incredibly awkward.
19:57I'm sorry you both had to sit through it.
20:00Was it mean?
20:00Was I out of line?
20:02Mm-mm.
20:02No, I am taking sides.
20:04This will blow over.
20:05All right?
20:06I hope so.
20:07But you can't bet.
20:08Take it off.
20:09All right.
20:10I'm sorry.
20:11I'm sorry.
20:11I'm sorry.
20:12I'm sorry.
20:15I'm sorry.
20:16I'm sorry.
20:17I'm sorry.
20:21Hey, come on in.
20:22You're just in time.
20:22Thanks so much, Rita.
20:24I think it's such a good idea
20:25that we all get together and talk.
20:28Wow.
20:29Wow.
20:30What is all this?
20:32Oh, we decided to stage a protest
20:33in front of Art's house.
20:35A protest?
20:36Mm-hmm.
20:36Rita, I want the word pedophile
20:38to really stand out.
20:40Do we have any glitter?
20:41Say molester.
20:42It sounds scarier.
20:44I'm sorry.
20:45I thought we were all
20:46going to talk about
20:48how to keep an eye
20:49on this guy.
20:50We're past talking.
20:51The guy's a menace.
20:51Well, that's what we think,
20:53but we don't exactly have proof.
20:55The youth center just fired him.
20:56How much proof do you need?
20:58But, see,
20:59the only reason they fired him
21:00is because people were gossiping,
21:02and the only reason they're gossiping
21:03is because of what I told
21:04Mrs. McCluskey.
21:06Yeah.
21:06And you told me to spread the word.
21:08So that people could watch
21:09their kids and be vigilant.
21:11So you want to wait
21:12until he actually molests
21:13one of our kids.
21:14Whose side are you on, Lynette?
21:15Knock it off, Gert.
21:16Remember,
21:17if it weren't for Lynette,
21:18we never would have found out
21:19about this creep.
21:21She's our hero.
21:39She's our hero.
22:23Bye-bye, Daddy.
22:24See you, sweetie.
22:26So I was thinking,
22:28you want to grab a cup of coffee
22:29or something after class?
22:31I'd love to grab a cup of coffee
22:33or something.
22:40You're so lucky to have
22:41such a nice dad.
22:43Yeah, I know.
22:45Leave him alone.
22:47Excuse me?
22:48You heard me.
22:49I don't want you dating him.
22:54Oh, sweetheart.
22:56I have a feeling
22:57I know what this is about.
22:59No, you don't.
23:00I think I do.
23:01You miss your mommy
23:02and it feels funny
23:03seeing your daddy
23:04be nice to somebody else.
23:06But believe me,
23:07I'm not trying
23:08to replace your mom.
23:10Well, I am.
23:12And I have someone
23:13all picked out.
23:15What?
23:16I want my dad
23:17to marry Sherry's mom.
23:20Sherry from class?
23:21We're best friends
23:22and we have it all planned out.
23:24Our parents are going
23:24to get married
23:25and then we'll be
23:26real sisters.
23:27What about your dad?
23:28Don't you care
23:28what he wants?
23:29My mom died.
23:31All my dad wants
23:32is for me to be happy.
23:34Now,
23:35get in there
23:36and teach me
23:36how to work the runway.
23:38That's what we're
23:38paying you for, right?
23:45Over to the left,
23:46please surrender
23:47quite the way
23:47to this 25
23:48for another first down
23:49and that should
23:50just about do it.
23:51I take one 12 left
23:52on the block of the stage
23:53with no time ever remaining.
24:17Corson?
24:21Rhi?
24:22Corson.
24:25Why haven't you
24:25returned any of my calls?
24:28I was afraid
24:28you were calling
24:29to ask me for a divorce.
24:31No, I wasn't.
24:34They arrested Mike
24:35for the murder
24:35of Monique Paulyer.
24:37They did?
24:38The other night
24:39you wanted a chance
24:39to explain everything.
24:40Well, here it is.
24:41And I want it all.
24:43If I find out
24:44you've left anything out
24:45then I will ask
24:46for that divorce.
25:07you're working so hard, Sherry.
25:10You must really want
25:10to win this pageant.
25:12More than anything.
25:13Oh, well I think
25:15dedication should be rewarded
25:16so I have a little
25:17surprise for you.
25:18What is it?
25:19Well, you know how
25:19the pageant starts
25:20with a big opening number?
25:22This year all the contestants
25:23are going to dance
25:24in pairs
25:24and I've arranged
25:25for you to dance
25:26with your best friend Amy.
25:31What's wrong, sweetie?
25:35Well...
25:35Amy sucks.
25:39Well, I thought you two
25:41were practically sisters.
25:43We are.
25:44But she still sucks.
25:46And first impressions
25:47are everything.
25:48You said so yourself.
25:49Well, that's true.
25:51And this is the opening number.
25:52The judges see me
25:53tripping all over that club.
25:54There's no way
25:55I'm gonna win.
25:56That's a good point.
25:57Now I wish
25:58I hadn't told Amy.
25:59You already told her?
26:01She was so excited.
26:06Well, she's your best friend.
26:08Why don't you just
26:08tell her the truth?
26:09She'll understand.
26:11What if she doesn't?
26:13Well, friends come and go.
26:17But a crown is forever.
26:23I never loved Alma.
26:25My mother pushed us together
26:27and I was stupid enough
26:29to get her pregnant.
26:31You had a child?
26:33Alma miscarried
26:34a month after the wedding.
26:36I was trapped.
26:38Well, you could have left her.
26:39Mother wouldn't hear of it.
26:41Divorce is a sin.
26:45So I stayed in the marriage
26:48hoping I would come to feel
26:49what I was supposed to.
26:52But I never did.
26:53So I resigned myself
26:54to a life without love.
26:57And then I met Monique.
27:01It went wrong.
27:02I didn't care.
27:05I loved her more
27:06than I'd loved anyone.
27:08Until you.
27:09So why couldn't you
27:10tell me this?
27:12Because you told me
27:13about Rex.
27:14How he cheated on you.
27:15How hurt you were.
27:16Bree, I needed you
27:17to feel safe with me.
27:33So you stayed in a
27:34loveless marriage
27:35because of your mother?
27:36I know how it sounds.
27:38But after my father died
27:40she was all I had.
27:50I would have done
27:51anything for her.
27:59She saw that
28:00weakness
28:02and she ran with it.
28:08You've got no idea
28:09how manipulative
28:10she can be.
28:17I've told you everything.
28:20What happens now?
28:22Well,
28:24first you pack up
28:25your things
28:25and come home.
28:28And then
28:29we toss your mother
28:31out on her evil ass.
28:33God,
28:34I love you.
28:54Hi.
28:56Sorry I'm late.
28:57Where are your folks?
28:58They're not coming.
28:59The plane was snowed in
29:00at O'Hare.
29:01Oh.
29:02Well, that's too bad.
29:03Well,
29:04no harm done then, huh?
29:06You're 40 minutes late.
29:07But they're not here.
29:09You didn't know that
29:09and where's dinner?
29:11Uh,
29:12Bree and I
29:12sort of had a fight.
29:14Um,
29:15look,
29:16I'm awfully sorry
29:16that I'm late.
29:17I had an emergency.
29:19Did this emergency
29:20have anything
29:21to do with Mike?
29:28I'm pretty sure
29:29that Bree's husband
29:30murdered the woman
29:30the cops think Mike killed.
29:33I went to his office.
29:34Oh, for God's sake, Susan.
29:36No, I found evidence.
29:37Look,
29:38Orson
29:39was committed
29:40to a mental institution
29:41for over a year.
29:42I mean,
29:43doesn't that suggest
29:43he's some sort of...
29:44I don't care.
29:47Tonight meant
29:47a great deal to me
29:48and you blew it off.
29:50I said I was sorry.
29:51I didn't see him.
29:57I have to help Mike.
29:58I'm all he's got.
30:01Actually,
30:01you're wrong.
30:02He's got me.
30:04What?
30:05Tomorrow,
30:06I'll hire the best lawyer
30:07in town to defend him
30:08and I'll pay
30:08every cent of his bill.
30:11You would do that
30:12for Mike?
30:13Yes.
30:14On one condition.
30:19You can't see him anymore.
30:23Why?
30:23If you start visiting him,
30:25being a friend to him,
30:26he'll fall in love
30:26with you again.
30:27Then you'll have to decide
30:28whose heart to break,
30:29his or mine.
30:32As jealous ultimatums go,
30:34that's very flattering,
30:35but I don't think
30:36that's necessary.
30:37Mike and I
30:38are done.
30:39Then you should have
30:40no problem accepting
30:41my generous offer.
30:43You would really get him
30:44the best lawyer in town.
30:46An absolute piranha.
30:48Do we have a deal?
30:53Well, okay then.
31:02You know,
31:03Mike barely remembers me.
31:06What makes you so sure
31:07he would fall in love
31:08with me again?
31:10What a perfectly
31:11asinine question.
31:14How could he not?
31:27God,
31:28I was only in the house
31:2915 minutes.
31:30Are there more of them now?
31:32Yep.
31:36Go ahead,
31:36say it.
31:36I know you want to.
31:37This is all your fault?
31:38You should have listened to me.
31:40I know.
31:42But be fair,
31:43there is no way
31:44I could have
31:44anticipated this.
31:46You tell people
31:47Frankenstein's on the loose,
31:48then you're surprised
31:49to see the torch-wielding villagers?
31:53Putting the kids to bed early,
31:54I don't want them to see this.
31:58Is that an ambulance?
32:03I can't believe
32:03you're doing this.
32:04Amy,
32:05don't you want me
32:06to have a chance?
32:07God,
32:07I hate you.
32:08I hate you.
32:11Don't ever talk
32:12to me again!
32:16Hi,
32:17Bill?
32:18I was wondering,
32:19do you plan Saturday night?
32:27Excuse me,
32:28can you tell me
32:29what happened?
32:29Ma'am,
32:30I need you to step back.
32:31Okay.
32:31We're bringing in a female,
32:32late 30s.
32:33Get her crash car ready.
32:34She's in cardiac arrest.
32:39that's too soon.
32:44Jerry!
32:47Jerry!
32:51Now!
32:51Now!
32:52No!
32:52No!
32:53Now you can!
32:54Stop it!
32:57Stop it!
32:57You can't do this to people.
32:59If you want, you're fine.
33:01Well, excuse us for wanting to feel safe in our own pool.
33:03Well, that is my own, and I don't feel very safe right now.
33:05Please, please, all of you, just leave this street.
33:09Please, I beg of you, go.
33:12Get off my street, please.
33:13Wait, wait, Mark, wait.
33:20I'm sorry.
33:40You're an idiot to take him back.
33:42I am no longer interested in your opinion.
33:45I thought I made that clear.
33:46Where are you sending me?
33:47Oh, we've rented you a condo in a lovely retirement community.
33:51It's our Christmas gift to you.
33:52So you're exiling me?
33:54Cutting me off for my new grandchildren?
33:57That's our gift to them.
34:04You'll think you can be rid of me that easily?
34:06It's over, Mother.
34:07I told her everything.
34:09Oh, I doubt that very much.
34:12You still have secrets, my boy.
34:14So do you, Mother.
34:16And if you want them kept, you'll keep mine.
34:30It's me.
34:31I have some bad news.
34:32She's taking him back.
34:35Meet me on the corner in an hour.
34:37We need to deal with this.
34:48I heard about Rebecca on the news.
34:51If there's anything I can do to help with funeral arrangements or help you call relatives.
35:02Wow.
35:04You must be feeling really guilty.
35:07Oh.
35:08Of course.
35:10I feel just terrible.
35:14I mean, if you knew, if you could just know how sorry I am.
35:28Hey.
35:30You know, in a weird way, I should thank you.
35:38My sister was a really wonderful person.
35:45She always saw the best in me.
35:50But there are things she couldn't see.
35:53Or chose not to.
35:55God love her.
36:01What do you mean?
36:02I think you know.
36:05See, I always knew that I had to take care of Rebecca, so I could never let myself slip and
36:12do something that would hurt her.
36:15But now, I'm free.
36:23And all because of you.
36:32You can't stay here.
36:34Well, don't worry.
36:35I'm already back.
36:38Where are you going?
36:40Why?
36:40You're going to write?
36:45Well.
36:49Goodbye, Lynette.
36:53You take care of that beautiful family of yours.
37:02Do you?
37:03What?
37:09Oh, my?
37:27There's a reason people can't wait for Christmas.
37:33And it has little to do with family reunions.
37:39Or curling up with a cup of eggnog, or that unexpected kiss beneath the mistletoe, or receiving
37:57a present from that special someone.
38:07No, people look forward to Christmas because they know it's a time for miracles.
38:20Hello, Alma.
38:21Don't just stand there.
38:23Tell me everything.
