00:01Previously on Desperate Housewives...
00:03Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm in love with you.
00:04Victor caught Gabby by surprise.
00:07Why would a four-star chef want a slum at a pizza joint?
00:10Lynette took a gamble.
00:11He has a history of using cocaine.
00:13I know, no way.
00:14Well, he's been clean for almost a year.
00:16Mike bet on love.
00:17Why when you leave me and Susan alone?
00:19And lost.
00:20Don't panic.
00:21But still came to Susan's rescue.
00:24You okay?
00:25Yeah.
00:27And Mrs. McCluskey revealed her secret for a lasting relationship.
00:34It was late on a Tuesday night when the power went out all over Fairview.
00:41For most of the residents, it was a minor inconvenience.
00:45But for those with secrets, the darkness proved quite useful indeed.
00:53Millie Russell was able to indulge in another night of midnight binging.
00:58Timmy Cooper was able to sneak another peek at his father's adult magazines.
01:05Marilyn Quinn was able to steal a few more puffs of her forbidden tobacco.
01:13But these secrets paled compared to the one a certain old woman was hiding in her basement.
01:19You sit tight, Ida.
01:21I got batteries here.
01:23I keep them in the freezer for just such an emergency.
01:26I'll run them over to you.
01:29By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any extra ice laying around, would you?
01:34No, I've just got some stuff in my freezer I don't want thawing out any time soon.
01:39Yes.
01:41As a rule, darkness helps us keep our secrets safely hidden.
01:46Oh, crap!
01:55But every rule...
01:57Karen, what happened? Are you okay?
02:00...has its exceptions.
02:03One Are you okay?
02:21We're good!
02:47When the lights went out on Wisteria Lane,
02:49Karen McCluskey wasn't the only resident left in the dark.
02:55Everyone else felt the pain of going without power as well.
03:01Ow, damn thumbtack!
03:03Susan, please let me help.
03:05Oh, no, I got it.
03:07Ah, wait. Here we go.
03:13But it's hardly a long-term solution.
03:15Well, at least it'll keep me from stabbing myself while I look.
03:19This is silly. Why don't we just borrow a flashlight from Mike?
03:24Mike?
03:25He's a plumber. He's bound to have a spare.
03:28Sure, but we can't keep leaning on him for everything.
03:32Mike, we're drowning. Save us.
03:33Mike, it's dark. Give us a flashlight. Let's go ask Gabby.
03:35Actually, I just wanted to talk to him anyway.
03:37I thought we might ask him over for dinner.
03:39Dinner? Ow!
03:42You know, as a thank-you gesture.
03:44Well, Ian, you've tasted my cooking.
03:45It's not a thank-you. It's revenge.
03:48Well, and I'll cook.
03:50You know, you told me I should put my jealousy behind me.
03:52I think breaking bread together would be a great start.
03:54Well, let's not bother him tonight.
03:56You know, I don't really even need a flashlight.
03:58My eyes have totally adjusted to the dark.
04:03What was that?
04:05Don't walk in the kitchen.
04:08Anyway, where is your sense of romance?
04:11With a blackout, you have a defenseless lady.
04:15Getting any ideas?
04:17Well, I'm starting to, yes.
04:20It's funny.
04:21All that time I wasted worrying Mike would come between us.
04:25Seems a laughable now, doesn't it?
04:31Kiss me.
04:36Hey, Carlos. We had a blackout.
04:39Need a flashlight?
04:42Carlos, you okay?
04:47Oh, uh, sorry, man. I thought I heard a thud.
04:51I just, uh, bumped into a chair.
04:56I didn't think that you were coming home till tomorrow.
04:59No, the fish weren't biting.
05:02So, uh, I got a girl in here.
05:05No. Why?
05:07Oh, because when I came home, I thought I heard sex noises.
05:11No, that was just me.
05:16Okay.
05:18Night.
05:21God, that was close.
05:22All this sneaking around is ridiculous.
05:27Mike and I dated for five minutes.
05:31He's not gonna care.
05:33What if Travers finds out?
05:34Look, I don't want him to be confused,
05:36and until we figure out where this is going,
05:38I just think we should keep things on the down low.
05:43Hey, I didn't say we had to stop.
05:44I just said we had to be quiet.
05:46What?
05:46I suppose we should tiptoe around like school children
05:48so our parents don't catch us doing it?
05:51I feel like I'm 12 again.
05:52I'm just saying,
05:53I don't think that the whole world needs to know our...
05:5612?
05:57Okay, look.
05:59I will find us another place to rendezvous.
06:03But I'm not gonna skulk around forever.
06:06And no one's asking you to.
06:08I respect you too much for that.
06:14Um...
06:16If you don't mind.
06:18Oh, for God's sake.
06:33I'm gonna be right there.
06:35There you go.
06:37So, can you still cook with a power round?
06:39Of course.
06:41Absolutely.
06:42Please, please tell me we can still make pizza.
06:44No dice.
06:45Some genius installed pizza ovens with electric starters.
06:48Oh, this is awful.
06:50And a good night.
06:51We barely break even.
06:52Tonight is gonna kill the whole week.
06:56Not necessarily.
06:58The stove top's gas.
07:00I bought pasta for the staff dinner.
07:01You give me 10 minutes,
07:02I will whip up a spaghetti carbonata
07:04that'll knock their socks off.
07:09Oh, my God.
07:11You are a lifesaver.
07:13And, uh, since it's not on the menu,
07:15you can charge whatever you want.
07:16Say, 20 bucks.
07:19For pasta?
07:19Are you crazy?
07:20Won't hurt to ask.
07:21Oh, I don't wanna scare them away.
07:23Okay.
07:24Okay.
07:28So, good news.
07:30Our chef is preparing his special spaghetti carbonara.
07:33Ooh, yummy.
07:34And we're offering that for $12.
07:36Great.
07:37For the appetizer portion, the entree is 20.
07:41Fine.
07:41Two.
07:42Twenty.
07:43Two.
07:44Okay.
07:51Shouldn't there be an emergency light?
07:53Sometimes in these elevators, there's a...
07:56Ta-da!
07:56Well, aren't you clever?
07:58I'll just call hotel security and let them know we're in.
08:01No, wait.
08:02This is the first time I've had you to myself all night.
08:05I'm sorry.
08:06It's those fundraisers.
08:07Everybody wants a piece of the candidate.
08:09What are you doing?
08:11Taking my piece.
08:13Are you insane?
08:14We're in an elevator.
08:15Exactly.
08:16Going down.
08:18No, come on, cut it out.
08:20The power could come on at any moment.
08:23I know.
08:24That's what makes it so exciting.
08:26The risk.
08:27But, uh, I'm kind of running for mayor here.
08:29Remember.
08:30It's an elevator, silly.
08:31It has an emergency stopper, hmm?
08:35I don't.
08:37What?
08:38No.
08:39Yeah.
08:45Oh, my God.
08:46It's amazing.
08:47What are you doing?
08:48That's my phone.
08:49It's unvibrating.
08:51Oh!
08:52Oh, man.
08:53I was just starting to get into it.
08:55Less talking, more dressing.
09:03You two okay?
09:05Yeah, fine.
09:05Thanks.
09:09Must have gotten pretty hot in there.
09:13You have no idea.
09:25Karen, don't worry about a thing.
09:26I'll collect your mail till you get back.
09:28Well, how long is this blackout supposed to last?
09:30Well, they say it may last for days.
09:33Days?
09:34Uh, hey, Blondie.
09:35Come here.
09:36Come here.
09:37Listen, I don't really need to go to the hospital.
09:39I'm fine.
09:40You fractured a ribbon.
09:41You might have a concussion.
09:42You need looking after.
09:43Some of the stuff in my freezer might melt.
09:45How about I just run out and get some ice and then meet you at the hospital?
09:48Ma'am, you can replace groceries.
09:50You don't understand.
09:51Some of my groceries, they have sentimental value.
09:55Sorry.
09:56I don't need to ask your permission.
09:57Ma'am, no.
09:58Get your hands off me, you big ape.
10:01Oh.
10:02Get the restraints.
10:03I'm gonna sue your ass.
10:16Well, what are we waiting for?
10:17Get me to the hospital.
10:18I'm not a well woman.
10:23What was that all about?
10:25Your friend's afraid the stuff in her freezer is gonna spoil.
10:28Oh, thank God the power's back on.
10:30Now she won't have to worry.
10:52I made you waffles.
10:55Eat them while they're hot.
11:03What?
11:06Will you marry me?
11:09They're just toaster waffles.
11:11Ah, that was just the pre-proposal actually.
11:14The real one will be much more romantic with a big diamond the size of a doorknob.
11:17But just so you're prepared, I do want to marry you.
11:21Well, just so you're prepared, consider this my pre-refusal.
11:24Come on.
11:24What's wrong?
11:25You're wearing my shirts.
11:25You burn my breakfast.
11:26You're here every night.
11:27It's like we're married already.
11:29We're having a good time.
11:31Why risk ruining it?
11:32See, what happened to the thrill seeker that seduced me in the elevator?
11:35She wouldn't be afraid of taking a little risk.
11:37Oh, you don't want to marry her?
11:38She's a tramp.
11:39Hold up for a good girl.
11:40I found what I'm looking for.
11:44Come on.
11:45What gives?
11:48Look, Victor, getting divorced really kicked my ass.
11:54I'm sorry, just next time I get married, I've got to be sure.
12:00Okay, I get it.
12:03Just wish there was a way I could prove how much I love and adore you.
12:06Well, if you can choke down that lousy waffle I made you, that'd be a start.
12:29Oh, there's Mike.
12:32Should we see if he's free Friday night?
12:34Yeah.
12:35Yeah, why not?
12:36Sure.
12:37You know what, do you want to run this ice cream inside before it melts?
12:50Look, Ian is going to come invite you to dinner Friday and you are not, I repeat, not going to
12:55accept.
12:57Why is Ian inviting me to dinner?
12:59He wants to thank you for saving us and he wants to show that he's not jealous of you.
13:03How's that for irony?
13:04I didn't plan to kiss you, but you didn't exactly resist.
13:08I was in shock.
13:10Why were you so upset when you mentioned Ian?
13:13Because we just had a fight about you.
13:18Really?
13:19You talk about me a lot.
13:21Mike, I am marrying Ian.
13:23We have hired a caterer.
13:24We are going with the salmon.
13:25So just back off.
13:27Hey, Ian.
13:28Hi, Ian.
13:30I just asked Mike.
13:31He can't make it.
13:32Yeah.
13:33I'm sorry.
13:34I've got plans for tonight.
13:35Oh, but didn't we say Friday?
13:37Friday?
13:38Oh, Friday.
13:39I'm wide open.
13:41Splendid.
13:42Shall we say 7.30?
13:44It's a date.
13:57Edie.
13:58This is Epstein.
13:59Listen, I'm late for my Hadassah meeting.
14:01Here's the key.
14:02Take your time.
14:03Oh, and don't be shy.
14:05Check out those closets.
14:06They're very spacious.
14:08Oh.
14:10Edie, what are we doing here?
14:12Checking out a house.
14:14I told you I'm not looking to buy right now.
14:16Who's talking about buying anything?
14:18I am giving it away.
14:22Edie, we cannot have sex in here.
14:24It's someone else's bed.
14:26This is wrong.
14:26We can't use my place.
14:28We can't use yours.
14:30And I'll be damned if I am going to pay for a hotel room
14:32when there are all these empty houses all over town
14:35that I have the keys to.
14:39Though reluctant at first,
14:40Carlos soon saw the wisdom in Edie's plan.
14:45Secret affairs are a lot like real estate.
14:48The three keys to success are
14:50location, location, location.
15:00Get careful.
15:01I can't sit down that fast.
15:03Sorry.
15:03I'm sorry.
15:03But it's going to be worth it.
15:05Okay.
15:06So, tell Tom the secret of your risotto.
15:08Well, I saute spinach and onions and white wine.
15:11No, no.
15:12The profit margin.
15:15Basically, it costs a dollar to make.
15:16And we charge 20.
15:17So, four people who would have shared a $15 pizza
15:20are now spending 80 bucks.
15:25Okay, kids.
15:27Dig in.
15:28There's just one little problem with that, Lynette.
15:30Yeah.
15:30Those families you're talking about have kids.
15:33And there's no kids going to eat anything with spinach in it.
15:36Um, Tom.
15:44It's delicious, huh?
15:46Mm-hmm.
15:46Oh, yeah.
15:48Yeah?
15:48Rick learned how to make this in Italy.
15:51Go ahead.
15:51Try it.
15:52I want to see what you think.
16:02Hmm.
16:02Hmm.
16:05It's good.
16:06It's awesome.
16:07It's good.
16:11But?
16:12But it's just not us.
16:15Us?
16:16What is us?
16:17Look, we're a neighborhood pizza place.
16:20We serve pizza.
16:21I like this better.
16:22I'm getting bored of pizza.
16:23Porter.
16:24The adults are talking.
16:26Look, we serve good food at good prices.
16:28We're not looking to be the next, you know, trendy, flash in the pan.
16:31That's not what I'm looking for, either.
16:33Um, see, my food, it's not trendy.
16:35It's classic.
16:36Rick.
16:39Obviously, you're a great cook.
16:40And when you have your own place, I will definitely eat there.
16:43But I see no reason to change my menu.
16:50More, please.
16:59Please.
17:07Hi.
17:08Can I help you?
17:10Uh, yeah.
17:12I'm here to see Mr. Lang.
17:13He's not here.
17:14Is that for him?
17:17Yeah.
17:18But it's very personal.
17:20Okay.
17:21I don't think I should leave it with the maid.
17:24Do I look like the maid?
17:25Give me that.
17:48You!
17:50What?
17:50Blackmailer!
17:51Oh, man.
17:52You weren't supposed to look.
18:01Get off me!
18:03Ah!
18:05$50,000!
18:06Are you insane?
18:07No, it's not for you to decide!
18:09I want all the negatives of those photos, all right?
18:11Start breaking fingers!
18:12No, you can't break my fingers!
18:13Come on!
18:16Give me the picture!
18:17Hey, hey, hey!
18:18Stop breaking up!
18:19Breaking up!
18:19Breaking up!
18:19Come on!
18:20She's crazy!
18:21Hey, hey!
18:21She's crazy!
18:22That's for calling me a maid!
18:23Oh!
18:24Hey, hey, hey!
18:25Oh!
18:30He works the hotel security monitors.
18:31That's how we got the photos.
18:33That miserable cockroach.
18:36If you want to smack him around a little, I can go inside and turn up the radio.
18:39Again, no thank you, but I will need those photos.
18:42Oh, no, no.
18:43I'm gonna hang onto these.
18:45They're a little revealing.
18:46Ma'am, we can't charge him without evidence.
18:48And if he walks, he can do what he wants with the originals.
18:52Okay, yeah.
18:55Guard them with your life.
19:00Yeah, especially that one.
19:04We've been open for three months now and we've barely turned a profit.
19:08We are building a customer base.
19:10That takes time.
19:11Go on, ask her.
19:13No, you ask her.
19:15Why are you being so stubborn?
19:18You would rather see the restaurant fail than succeed with Rick's idea.
19:21And I can't believe that you two are ready to toss out my concept.
19:25You know, why don't you just rename the restaurant Lynette and Rick's?
19:28Can we have fuzzicles?
19:29No!
19:32Sorry, Lynette, but the menu is not changing.
19:34End of discussion.
19:35I don't think so.
19:38Giving it a try.
19:41That's not your decision to make.
19:43Yeah?
19:44Well, then why don't you come down to the restaurant and stop me?
19:47Oh, that's right.
19:47You can.
19:52I told you she'd say no.
19:57Miss McCuskey always has some fuzzicles.
20:01Yeah, but she's in the hospital.
20:48Where's the ice cream?
20:51She didn't have any.
20:52Oh, man.
20:54Wasn't anything good in there?
20:57No.
20:59Oh.
21:23But what the hell were you thinking?
21:25How was I supposed to know the cops were going to release the photos to the press?
21:28Everybody in town knows the police chief is the mayor's brother-in-law. Everyone!
21:31Enough, Jerome.
21:32I want you to organize a press conference, and then I want you to help me prep for it.
21:35Well, this is going to be a bloodbath. I don't know how you're going to prep.
21:37Just get me a bucket of piranhas, and I'll stick my head in it.
21:47You know, you're a single guy. Maybe people won't care.
21:50I'm running a family values campaign, and I had sex in an elevator. I think they will care.
22:00Look, I know this is my fault, so if you want to bite my head off, go ahead.
22:04You know, Gabby, there are only two things that matter to me these days. My campaign and you.
22:09And if I had to lose one of them, I'd rather it was the campaign.
22:19Is there anything I can do?
22:22Uh, yeah. You can stick around on election night.
22:24I have a feeling I'm going to need some serious consoling.
22:33Mmm. God, they're so good.
22:36I know. It's hard to decide, huh?
22:38No. No, I'm going to go with the crab cakes and the little quesadillas.
22:42Well, all we need is a wedding cake, and we're done.
22:45You were the most decisive bride I've ever met.
22:48I just guess I'm in a rush.
22:51Oh? Oh. Gotcha.
22:53Well, don't worry. You are not showing at all.
22:56Oh, no, no, no. No, I'm not pregnant.
22:58No, I just know what I want, which is Ian.
23:02So I'm just eager to, you know, not get it over with, per se,
23:06but just to get to the good part, which is the marriage to Ian.
23:12Seems like a great guy. I don't suppose he has a brother.
23:20Oh, so you're not seeing anyone?
23:22No. I'm between disappointments.
23:25Well, are you free for dinner tomorrow?
23:27Is this some lame setup? Please say yes.
23:30Well, there's this guy coming to dinner,
23:33and he's single and handsome and charming and...
23:38You had me at guy.
23:40So how do you know him?
23:41Oh, uh, he's just a neighbor.
23:53Hi, buddy. What you doing?
23:55Nothing.
23:58You seem a little hopey lately. Is everything okay?
24:03Yeah. Can we go see Mrs. McCluskey?
24:07You guys didn't have to come down here.
24:09No matter what that CAT scan says, I'm breaking out tomorrow.
24:12Well, Parker really wanted to come visit you.
24:14I'm gonna put a little water in these.
24:19Don't tell your brothers. You were always my favorite.
24:22I sold them manna in your freezer.
24:27Lynette?
24:28Yeah?
24:29Could you run down to the snack bar and get me some green jello?
24:31Oh, sure.
24:38Okay. Time for a little grown-up talk.
24:49So can you understand now why I had to do what I did?
24:53Mm-hmm.
24:54And how you can never tell anyone, not even your mom?
24:57Hey, they didn't have jello, so...
24:59I hope pudding is okay.
25:03You know, let's give it to Parker.
25:05A good boy like him deserves a treat.
25:18What are you thinking about?
25:21Just...
25:22This room doesn't really work.
25:25It's just too sterile.
25:27Can we go back to that Spanish colonial in Third?
25:30Sure.
25:32Fine.
25:34You know what I was thinking?
25:35Hmm.
25:38I'm really happy.
25:40And I haven't felt this happy in a long time.
25:45How about you?
25:47Are you happy?
25:50Oh, my God!
25:52Oh!
25:52Oops.
25:53Sorry.
25:54The bed's not made.
25:55Whistle!
25:56Well, why don't you check out the Sub-Zero in the kitchen?
25:58It's to die.
26:01Well, I see you can't close a sale without opening something else.
26:04Oh, please.
26:05I heard about your open house on Holly Drive.
26:09They're still disinfecting the jacuzzi.
26:12Slut.
26:13Bitch!
26:17You think he's gonna tell anyone?
26:19He's a gay realtor.
26:21He's speed dialing as we speak.
26:23Then go stop him.
26:24What's the big deal?
26:25Who cares if people find out?
26:27I do.
26:28Why?
26:29Are you embarrassed to be dating me?
26:31No.
26:34If Gabby finds out, she's gonna hit the ceiling.
26:37Why would she care?
26:38She's dating that Victor guy.
26:41Please.
26:41That's not gonna last.
26:46Oh, my God.
26:49You're still in love with her.
26:52No, I just...
26:54I mean, we've been getting along, and I don't wanna...
26:58I don't know who the bigger moron is.
27:00It's you or me.
27:03Hey, don't be like this.
27:06Look, we're having fun, right?
27:08Apparently, that's all we're having.
27:10Edie, come on!
27:11No, fun's over.
27:22Ah, Mike.
27:24Thanks for coming.
27:25Thanks for asking me.
27:29Susan.
27:35Hi.
27:36Um, Mike.
27:38I want you to meet Maggie Gilroy.
27:47I don't believe this.
27:48You're setting me up.
27:50You need to move on, okay?
27:52I don't wanna move on.
27:54I came here to see you.
27:55Well, I'm not available.
27:56So if you feel like kissing someone tonight, point those lips at Maggie.
28:02Here we go.
28:04Your beer.
28:08Did I mention that Maggie is an amazing chef?
28:11We're embarrassed to be cooking for her.
28:12Stop.
28:14So, Mike, do you have a favorite type of cuisine?
28:20No.
28:21After three months of prison food, everything tastes good to me.
28:26So, you were in prison?
28:28He was totally innocent.
28:30Yeah, a woman was bludgeoned to death and her blood wound up on my wrench.
28:34Oh, my God.
28:36But he was cleared.
28:37All charges dropped.
28:39Here.
28:39Eat this.
28:40It's just so awful to go to jail for a crime you didn't commit.
28:45It was just a few months.
28:46Now, my first stretch for manslaughter?
28:49That was brutal.
28:54My worst cellmate was this guy called Stiltz.
28:57When they arrested him, they found a bowl full of ears.
29:02Ow.
29:03I think that was meant for you.
29:06Sorry.
29:07So, why don't I just go and brew some coffee?
29:10And I brought a little surprise for dessert.
29:13Wedding cakes for you to sample.
29:15Great.
29:22Thanks a lot.
29:23Now Maggie thinks you're Charles Manson.
29:25I don't care.
29:26I love you.
29:28Don't say that.
29:29It's true.
29:30I remember everything now.
29:31When I got run over, I was on my way to propose to you.
29:34I don't want to talk about it.
29:35I do.
29:37What would you have said?
29:42You know what I would have said.
29:43It doesn't matter now.
29:44The hell it doesn't, Susan.
29:46If you can look me in the eye and tell me that when we kissed, you felt nothing.
29:50Then I'll just go.
29:51But only if you can say that and really mean it.
29:55Can you?
29:58Who wants wedding cake?
30:06Maggie, these cakes are fantastic.
30:08Great.
30:09Well, all you have to do is choose one and we're done.
30:11Did you notice the themes?
30:13Themes?
30:13Yes.
30:14This one is very British.
30:16Fondant icing and toffee ganache.
30:19And this is your classic American.
30:22White cake with buttercream frosting.
30:25So which one do you like the best?
30:32Well, it's kind of hard to decide.
30:35Well, that depends on what you're looking for.
30:37Rich and elegant or down-to-earth and sweet.
30:47I don't know.
30:49You wanna taste them again?
30:50No, I know what they taste like.
30:52I'm just torn, okay?
30:54There's no need to get upset.
30:55It's just a cake.
30:56It's not just a cake.
30:58It's a major decision.
31:00Well, hey, if you like them both so much, why don't you have two cakes?
31:04How would that look?
31:05Oh, hey, everybody.
31:06Here's my wedding cake.
31:08Oh, and what's that over there?
31:09It's my other wedding cake.
31:11I have to pick, and I will.
31:14So just stop pressuring me, okay?
31:24I'm sorry.
31:28I think I was just having a little sugar rush.
31:35Thanks again.
31:36I'm sorry.
31:45I'm sorry.
31:47I'm sorry.
31:47I'm sorry.
31:48I'm sorry.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:49I'm sorry.
31:50I'm sorry.
31:53I'm sorry.
31:53I'm sorry.
31:53I'm sorry.
31:54Just put it on.
31:55Excuse me.
31:57Am I interrupting something?
31:59No.
32:00It's nothing.
32:02I think it's time to level with him.
32:04I just told Susan I want her back.
32:08Excuse me?
32:09Look, I know it puts a crimp in your plans.
32:12I'm sorry.
32:13But I love her.
32:14But that's too damn bad, isn't it?
32:16Because she doesn't love you.
32:17Really.
32:18She didn't seem to mind when I kissed her.
32:21What?
32:21Did he just kiss you?
32:23No.
32:24It was days ago.
32:25And you let him?
32:26No.
32:26He pounced.
32:27It was hardly a pound.
32:29You bastard.
32:30We...
32:31We had an agreement.
32:32Susan doesn't have to marry you because you won her in a game of cards.
32:37What, he didn't tell you how we played poker for you?
32:41You bet me in a game of poker?
32:44That's not how it sounds.
32:45I merely suggested that if I won the hand, then he would stop badgering you.
32:51And if he won?
32:53Well, I forget the exact terms, but the point is he lost, as I knew he would.
32:57I never would have waged you if I didn't have a very good hand.
33:03Get out.
33:04Susan, please.
33:05You heard her.
33:06You too.
33:07I've had it with both of you.
33:08You're tugging at me like I'm some kind of wishbone.
33:11You're just upset.
33:12No, I am beyond upset.
33:14You two want a decision.
33:15Well, here's what I decide.
33:17There will be no kissing.
33:18And there will be no wedding.
33:19And there will be no damn cake.
33:38What's this?
33:39Uh, pumpkin sage ravioli.
33:41Just a little thank you for taking a chance on me.
33:45Are you kidding?
33:46I should be thanking you.
33:47We took in three grand tonight.
33:50Oh, wow.
33:52Candles too.
33:53Yeah.
33:54I think we should use them all the time.
33:56It softens up the ambiance.
34:00So, come on, eat.
34:02Oh.
34:11Oh, my God.
34:13If we serve this for tomorrow's special, we will clear four grand.
34:18Great.
34:19Um, be sure to run it by Tom.
34:22Why?
34:22You know, just shoot it down.
34:24I mean, I get it.
34:26He's in pain.
34:27He doesn't like being sidelined.
34:29But there is no reason to...
34:33You know what?
34:33Let's talk about something else.
34:34Yeah, sure.
34:37I mean, unless you'd like to go.
34:38You're here so late all the time.
34:40No.
34:41No, I like being here.
34:42It beats going home to an empty apartment.
34:44Don't you have any friends to hang out with?
34:46My friends come in two varieties.
34:48The ones I drove away before I got clean
34:49and the ones I should avoid if I want to stay clean.
34:53Oh.
34:54Yeah.
34:55I gotcha.
35:01You ever wear your hair down?
35:03What?
35:04Yeah.
35:05Sometimes.
35:06Why?
35:08Looks really good.
35:11Should do more often.
35:14Oh, well.
35:16Thanks.
35:27This is delicious.
35:29Thanks.
35:31Dad, you want some more wine?
35:33Sure.
35:42Daddy!
35:44The paper has a story about your restaurant.
35:47You're kidding.
35:49Come here.
35:50What does it say?
35:53When Scavo's Pizzeria opened its doors,
35:55you could almost hear the city groan.
35:58Just what we need.
35:59Another pizza joint.
36:01But with an updated menu from new chef, Rick Coletti,
36:04is he the man who cooked us that really, really...
36:07Yeah, that's the one.
36:09Okay.
36:09What else does it say, honey?
36:10There's more than just crayons on the table.
36:13The veal piccata is divine,
36:15and the mushroom risotto is an...
36:18ex...
36:18q... u...
36:20Exquisite.
36:21An exquisite treat.
36:23Scavo's has been transformed from a mundane family eatery
36:26into the area's hottest...
36:28That's enough, Kayla.
36:33Daddy's tired.
36:35Okay.
36:56Okay, okay, okay, okay.
36:58I know you guys like a good scandal,
36:59but I think the citizens of Fairview
37:01are more interested in the real issues.
37:09Mr. Lang, given your 15-point drop in the polls,
37:13what do you have to say to your constituents?
37:15Well, I would ask them to, uh,
37:18not base their view of me on a single...
37:20It's not going very well, is it?
37:21You picked up on that, did you?
37:25Who is she, Mr. Lang?
37:26Give us a name.
37:27No, I will not identify the woman.
37:29What are you hiding?
37:30Is she a prostitute?
37:31No!
37:32No, she's not a prostitute.
37:34I'll answer your questions one at a time.
37:43That does it.
37:45Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing?
37:47Stop, please, stop.
37:49Excuse me.
37:50Excuse me.
37:51Excuse me.
37:54Excuse me!
37:55I am the woman in the photos.
38:05What are you doing?
38:06Standing by my man.
38:09What is your name?
38:10What is r name?
38:11What is your name?
38:11Are you all in notice?
38:13What's your name?
38:13My name is Gabrielle Marquez,
38:15and I want you to know
38:16right before those photos were taken,
38:19Victor asked me to marry him.
38:22I know.
38:23What did you say?
38:26I said yes.
38:27I would be thrilled to be Mrs. Victor Lang.
38:30Mrs. Lang, are you going to get married?
38:34Have you said a date?
38:36Are you really getting married?
38:37Mr. Lang!
38:38In fact, I was so overcome that when we were trapped in the elevator,
38:41I seized the moment to express my joy.
38:46So this is a love story?
38:48The only reason Victor kept it from you was to protect me.
38:52Because he's the kind of man who puts a woman's honor before his own.
38:57And that's the kind of man you marry.
38:59That's the kind of man you vote for.
39:01What kind of man, Mr. Lang?
39:04What are you gonna have to go in?
39:07I'm ready to get married!
39:09Where did you meet?
39:09I'm ready to get married!
39:11Where did you meet?
39:11We're married!
39:13Hey!
39:25What's that smell?
39:46Ma'am, are you Karen McCluskey?
39:53That little bastard gave me up, didn't he?
39:57Today, at the mayoral candidates' press conference,
40:01a woman identified as Gabrielle Marquez,
40:04a former model, surprised reporters
40:07by announcing her engagement to Mr. Lange.
40:10The only reason he didn't tell you was because he was protecting her.
40:16Carlos?
40:18I don't know if you've heard.
40:20Yeah.
40:22I heard.
40:23In a few months, I will be Mrs. Victor Lange.
40:39I just heard on the radio the power company is still having problems
40:42and there might be another rolling blackout today.
40:45Do you want me to leave Ida's number in case something happens?
40:47I'm sure I'll be fine.
40:50Did you read our review in the paper?
40:54Yep.
40:57Okay.
40:58Okay.
41:00I'm off.
41:01I'm off.
41:02I'm off.
41:03I'm off.
41:26I'm not off.
41:28You'll be not off.
41:30I'm off.
41:31Maybe.
41:31until it's taken away.
41:35Whether it's the political power of the many,
41:44or a lover's influence over just one.
41:50We all want some sort of power in our lives,
41:55if only to give ourselves choices.
42:02Yes, to be without choices,
42:06to feel utterly powerless,
42:09well, it's a lot.
42:13Like being alone in the dark.
43:02Thank you very much.
