On the coffee table are magazines, including a tabloid with Mary Alices picture reading: Inside the Suburban Suicide Mom! When I was alive, I maintained many different identities: lover, wife, and ultimately, victim. Yes, labels are important to the living. They dictate how people see themselves.Its Lynettes house. She bends down and picks up some clothing, looking tired. Like my friend, Lynette. She used to see herself as a career woman. And a hugely successful one at that. She was known for her power lunches.Lynette, yawning, feeds the baby her bottle. .her eye catching presentations.Lynette slaps a magnet on a crayoned drawing shes putting on the refrigerator. .and her ruthlessness in wiping out the competition.Lynette sprays a glass cleaner on some windows and scrubs furiously at the hand prints smudging it. Lynette gave up her career to assume a new label: incredibly satisfying role of full-time mother.The phone rings, interrupting Lynette, whos washing dishes. She goes over to answer it. Scavo residence. Yes, this is me. She sighs. -Elementary SchoolLynette walks down the hallway. But, unfortunately for Lynette, this new label frequently fell short of what was advertised. Lynette comes upon Parker and Porter sitting outside of a classroom. They look up at her and each raise a hand in hello. Their hands and clothes are liberally splattered with blue paint. She goes inside of the classroom. Lynette: How in the world did they. Ms. Butters: I left the door to the art supply cupboard open for five minutes. Thats all. Lynette: Five minutes. She sits down. The little girl. Why didnt she say anything? Ms. Butters: Your boys work quickly. Lynette: Well, obviously, they will be punished for this. Severely. Ms. Butters: I hesitate bringing this up since you got so ugly about it last time. Lynette: They dont have attention deficit disorder. And Im not going to drug my boys just to make your job easier. Id rather change teachers. She stands up. Ms. Butters: The boys are in my class because Im the only teacher who can handle them. Lynette: What if we separate the twins? Put them in different classes. Theyre much calmer when theyre not bouncing off one another. Ms. Butters: We can try that. But if it doesnt work, we may not longer be able to accommodate them.Lynette leaves the classroom and begins walking down the hallway with the twins. It suddenly occurred to Lynette her label was about to change yet again. And for the next few years, she would be known as the mother of the boys who painted Tiffany Axelrod blue. A little girl completely covered in blue paint walks by with her mother. The mother stares at Lynette accusingly. -Credits-Focus on a tape recorder thats on. The four women stand around it, listening to it. It looked to be an interesting afternoon on Wisteria Lane. A mysterious cassette tape had been discovered by my friend, Bree. She had stolen it from her marriage counselor. A counselor I had once spoken to in strictest confidence.On the tape, Dr. Goldfine and Mary Alice speak. Dr. Goldfine: So, how have you been? Mary Alice: I had the nightmare again.Gabrielle interrupts. Its so weird to hear Mary Alice. Dr. Goldfine: Still the same one. Mary Alice: Yes. But this time, I was standing in a river, and I saw the girl under the water. She kept screaming Angela over and over again. Dr. Goldfine: So what do you think the significance of the name Angela is? Mary Alice: Actually, thats my real name.Gabrielle reaches over and turns off the tape recorder. Gabrielle: Her real name? Bree nods. Gabrielle: That doesnt make any sense. Ive seen her drivers license. It did not say Angela. Susan: Bree, what does it say on the rest of the tape? Bree: Just more about her nightmares and this girl she was afraid of. Gabrielle: So what the hell do we do now? Susan looks past her and sees Paul watering his lawn. All of the woman turn to look. He waves and they wave back. Susan: I think we should show Paul the note. Lynette: Are you sure? Hes gonna freak. Bree: Well, its now or never. I mean, I saw what hes asking for the place. Its gonna sell quickly. Gabrielle: Can I say something? Im glad Pauls moving. Bree: (placing a hand over her heart in shock): Gabby! Gabrielle: Im sorry. Hes just always giving me the creeps. Havent you guys noticed? Hes got this dark thing going on. Theres something about him that just feels. Lynette: Malignant? Gabrielle: Yes. Susan: Weve all sort of felt it.They watch him continue watering his lawn. Bree: That being said, I do love what hes done with that lawn.The women look at her. -Susans HouseSusan is standing at the kitchen sink, absent-mindedly washing a plate, while staring out the window. Julie comes over and looks out the window to see what Susans looking at. Its Mike, shirtless and sweaty, tending to his lawn. Julie looks at the dish that Susans washing. Julie: Mom, the dish is clean. Susan: Huh? Oh. Julie: I still dont understand why you dont just ask him out on an official date date! Susan: Oh, Im trying a new strategy. Im playing hard to get. Julie: How long do you think you can keep that up? Susan: Oh, maybe until noon. Then Im gonna have to run over there and beg him to love me. Julie laughs, then looks out the window in the other direction. Uh, mom. I dont think youre gonna be able to wait that long.Susan follows her gaze to where Edie is washing her car, wearing very short shirts and a revealing white top. Susan: Youve got to be kidding. She washed her car yesterday!As Edie washes, she glances over at Mike, who glances back. She takes the sponge shes using and squeezes the water from it over her chest and Susan cant believe it. Susan: Oh, no, shes not.Mike stops working to watch. Susan: Yep. Shes bringing out the big guns. Julie: You better get over there. Shes wearing cotton.She walks over to a drawer and pulls out an envelope. Susan: What am I supposed to say to Mike? I saw you half naked and thought Id drop by? Julie hands Susan the note. Susan: Whats that? Julie: A piece of Mikes junk mail we got by mistake. I held onto it in case of an emergency. Susan is thrilled. God bless you!She kisses Julie and rushes out the door. -Susan crosses her lawn to go to Mike, looking over at Edie as she does so. She comes up to Mike. Susan: Hi. Mike: Hey, Susan. Susan: I, uh, got this by mistake. MikeOh, thanks. He opens it. Susan: I hope its not important. MikeOh, not, its just a promotion for the Realto. Theyre having a film festival. Susan: Oh.Edie watches them. SusanWell, guess Ive done my good deed for the day. Ill just head back home. Bye. She turns to go and walks a few steps. Mike: Hey, you like old movies? Susan: I love old movies.As they talk, Edie, annoyed, throws her sponge into the bucket of water by her feet and walks off into Mrs. Hubers house, where shes staying. Edie: I hate Susan Mayer. Every time I see those big doe eyes of hers, I swear to God, I just want to go out and shoot a deer. Mrs. Hubers eyes light up. What has she done this time? Edie: She is out there throwing herself at Mike Delfino. Again. Mrs. Huber: Susan likes Mike? Edie: Where the hell have you been, Martha? Shes been lusting after him ever since he moved in.Edie walks away and Mrs. Huber looks thoughtfully out the window. -Elementary SchoolLynette comes running down the hallway of the twins school, ending up at the twins teacher, whos standing outside the classroom. Lynette: I got your message. Whats going on? Ms. Butters: The boys refuse to be separated. Lynette: They refuse? Theyre six years old. Make them. Ms. Butters: Well, school regulations are pretty strict about me wrestling with the boys. But if you want to give it a shot, be my guest. Lynette: Fine.She walks around the teacher to go inside the classroom, and then stops and turns around. Lynette: Oh. Which one goes and which one stays? Ms. Butters: You pick.Lynette opens the classroom door and Ms. Butters listens from outside. Screaming and shouting can be heard from within. Ms. Butters opens up the door and peeks in. One twin is holding onto a table while Lynette grabs him by the feet, pulling. The other twin is on the other side of the table, trying to prevent Lynette from pulling it. Ms. Butters smiles. Ooh!-Gabrielles BathroomGabrielle and John are in a bubble bath together. She squeezes some water over his back with a washcloth. Gabrielle: I love taking baths. Especially with you. Its like taking a vacation from the world. John: I hated taking baths when I was a kid. Course back then, the only thing I had to play with was my rubber ducky.He leans back, turning slightly, and he leans in to kiss her. Right before they can, the doorbell rings and John gets nervous. John: Whos that? He gets out of the tub and begins putting on his clothes. Its Mr. Solis. Gabrielle: Relax! Carlos is at work. And he doesnt ring the doorbell.She gets out more casually and puts on a bathrobe. She looks out the window and calls to John. Gabrielle: Its the cable guy. Hes three hours late. Use the side entrance.John finishes getting dressed quickly and rushes out the door. Gabrielle knew her vacation from the world had ended. What she didnt know was John had left behind a souvenir. Underneath the bed, a lone sock of Johns lies there. -Brees HomeDanielle and Andrew come home. Danielle: Im telling you. Dad didnt come home last night. They had a fight. A bad one. Andrew: How bad? Danielle: Like, divorce court bad.They hear Bree humming and through a small opening into the dining room, see her setting up dinner candles. Danielle: Listen to her. She always overcompensates when shes worried. Andrew: Dad moves out and leaves us with her.Ill lose my mind.Bree opens the door from the dining room, smiling. Bree: Dinner is on the table. Andrew: Mom, whered dad go last night? Bree: He got a last minute call to speak at a medical conference in Philadelphia. Take your seats.On the table is a huge fancy meal, with a freshly-cooked turkey in the middle of the table. Danielle: This marriage is so over.Andrew nods. He then turns and walks out the front door. Bree: Andrew?He slams out of the door. -Gabrielles HouseGabrielle begins putting away the remnants of her bubble bath as the cable guy is there. The Cable Guy: Again, sorry I was late. The schedule overbooked me. Gabrielle: How long are you going to be? The Cable Guy: Almost done. What is that scent? Is that sage and citrus? He looks at the candle shes holding in her hands. Its amazing. Gabrielle: Try to hurry. I have stuff to do. He walks over to the wall and pulls on a cable cord, yanking at it. He suddenly loses his balance and falls on his back, having slipped on the bubble bath. Gabrielle is shocked. Later, the cable guy is strapped to a gurney by paramedics as Gabrielle watches. Carlos comes up to her. Carlos: Whats happening? Gabrielle: The cable guy fell. He hit his head on the tub. He may have a concussion. Carlos: Its almost eight. Gabrielle: He was late.She walks out with Carlos looking at her. He sniffs and looks at the lit candles around the bathtub and the bubble bath in the tub. -Susans HouseSusan opens her front door to find Mrs. Huber standing there with a pie in her hands. Susan: Mrs. Huber! Mrs. Huber: Hello, Susan. I made you a pie. Susan: Oh. Wow. Why? Mrs. Huber: Do I need a motive to do something nice?Susan shrugs. In Susans kitchen, Mrs. Huber is delicately cutting the pie. Mrs. Huber: I cant wait for you to try this. Its mincemeat. Susan: Actually, I just had dinner. Mrs. Huber: Thats okay. You can save it for later.She licks some off of her fingers and chuckles to herself. Susan: Whats so funny? Mrs. Huber: I was just thinking of that expression: Ill make mincemeat out of you. Mincemeat. It used to be an entree made up of mostly chopped meat, so it was like saying Ill chop you up into little bits. She chuckles. But that was centuries ago. Today, mincemeat is mostly made up of fruit, spices, and rum. Theres no meat in it. And still people say Ill make mincemeat out of you. Susan: I dont know that people really say that anymore. Mrs. Huber: I do. So, Susan. How are you? Susan: Im fine. Mrs. Huber: Good. You know, I have a confession to make. Ive always wished Id have been more supportive when Carl left you. Susan: Oh, you dont have to apologize about Carl. Really, Carl and I are over. Ive moved on. Mrs. Huber: Yes, I know. Youve moved on to that nice Mike Delfino. Hes quite a catch, isnt he? You like him dont you? Susan: Uh, sure. As a friend. Mrs. Huber: Oh, Susan. Being coy is a strategy best employed by virgins at their first dance. For women of our age, its just annoying. Are you sure you dont want pie? Susan: No, thank you. Mrs. Huber: I hope it works out with you and Mike. Youve been so desperate to land him. Susan: I am not desperate. Mrs. Huber: Oh, good Lord, Susan. You burned your rivals house down. If that isnt desperate, I dont know what is. Susan: Mrs. Huber, with all due respect, youre crazy. Mrs. Huber puts down the knife she had been using to transfer the pie to a plate and reaches into her purse, pulling out the charred measuring cup she found in the ruins of Edies burnt house. She places it on the table in front of Susan. Susan: Whats that? Mrs. Huber: I think you recognize it. I found it in the ruins of Edies home. Susan: Well, thats not - Mrs. Huber: Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. My point is this. I wasnt there for you when Carl left, but Im here for you now. As far as Im concerned, this is our secret. And no one ever need know. Oh, Susan. You dont know how good it feels to finally be able to help you. You look so pale. Now. I insist you try some of my pie.She puts some on a fork and brings it near Susan, who automatically opens her mouth for Mrs. Huber to insert the pie. Mrs. Huber: Go on. Did I mention its mincemeat? Susan swallows the pie with an audible gulp. -Brees HouseBree stands in front of her sons door and knocks on it. Bree: Open the door, please. Andrew: Hang on.He opens it. Andrew: What? Bree: May I come in? Andrew: No. Bree: Well, I want to talk to you. Andrew: Then, talk. Bree: Where were you last night? Andrew: Brians. Bree: I just spoke to Brians mother. Now tell me again where you were last night and this time dont lie to me. Andrew: Whered you say Dad was again? In Philadelphia? Bree: Andrew, dont change the subject. Andrew: Im sorry. I thought the subject was telling lies. I called Dads cell phone. I know he moved out. Bree: Well, its just temporary and.I thought it would upset you, so I was protecting you. Andrew: Whatever. You lied, so stop pretending like you have some sort of moral authority. Bree: Andrew, just because I chose not to share my marital problems with you does not give you the right to be rude. Andrew: How about driving my father away? Do I get to be rude then?He shuts the door in her face. -Gabrielles HouseCarlos is getting dressed in the bedroom by the bed while Gabrielle is in the bathroom. He drops his tie clip and gets on his hands and knees to look for it. While on the floor, he sees Johns sock underneath the bed. He picks it up and stands up. As he looks at it, Gabrielle notices and quickly walks away to the laundry basket, where she grabs some
