Desperate Housewives

Previously on...

Lynette found that dating Tom's boss...

If I asked you to have Tom work a few nights this week,

you'd do it?

You just say the word.

Had its advantages.

I'm sending Tom to Mumbai for a year.

Julie made a big decision about her baby...

I'm gonna keep her.

And the baby's father made a commitment.

I'll get a job. I'll take... I'll take classes.

I'll do whatever it takes.

- Carlos and Gaby argued... - Carlos.

I am not gonna let Bree

take the fall for a crime I committed.

After Bree was arrested for murder.

This is one of those times where the best things you can do

is do nothing.

But Bree's attorney was confident...

Did you, uh, have some new thoughts on the case?

Why don't we discuss them over dinner?

As well as convincing.

Since Bree Van de Kamp was arrested,

she had experienced a wide range of emotions.

One moment, she felt afraid.

The next, she was angry.

And through it all, she felt ashamed.

But now that her trial was approaching,

she was beginning to feel...

a little rattled.

Bree, are you okay?

Yeah. Just all this witness preparation

is making me nervous.

Gaby's been in there for ages.

Trip's very thorough.

He just wants to make sure we're all ready.

- There you are. That took a while. - No kidding.

I haven't been grilled like that

since Carlos got my last credit card bill.

Well, as alibi witnesses,

you're gonna be asked about every detail of the night

that Ramon disappeared.

And we can't afford any slip-ups.

So... how many dinner guests were there that night?

14.

- What color dress was Bree wearing? - Red.

What sauce did she serve with the chicken?

Oh. I got this.

Barbecue?

Gaby, of all the things I've been accused of,

the idea that I would serve barbecue sauce

at a dinner party!

Oh, you're right. I'm sorry.

That sounds way worse than saying you killed Alejandro.

Wait. Uh... Who's Alejandro?

Uh, my gardener.

I'm always getting... my mexicans confused...

which I'm allowed to do, because I'm mexican.

I gotta run. You, uh, you gonna be all right?

Of course. With you in my corner,

how can I not be?

Okay. What was that little prom photo moment

with the hands?

We warned you about this.

You're still going after him, aren't you?

Of course not. I am totally focused on the case,

and so is he.

Okay, fine. What am I supposed to do?

He is the most intelligent, caring, charming man

I have met in ages.

And by the way, it isn't exactly a one-way street.

He's been showing quite a bit of interesting in me, too.

- Um, Bree... - And besides, if I reject him,

he might be too humiliated

- to do a good job on my case. - Yeah?

Something tells me he's gonna bounce back.

Yes, after Bree Van de Kamp was arrested,

she felt a range of emotions.

But the one thing she didn't expect to feel...

was jealousy.

At the Fairview childbirth center,

there are certain conversations you expect to hear...

discussions about the magic of a changing body...

Look at me. I'm a cow.

The beauty of natural childbirth.

Just so you know, I'm getting the drugs.

Or the importance of healthy nutrition.

Take a chip, lose a hand.

But Julie Meyer found herself having a conversation...

I can't believe Bree's on trial for murder.

I mean, come on. Killers don't wear aprons.

That was rather unexpected.

I know. It sucks. You know what else sucks?

Somebody trying to relax you by talking about a murder.

You're right. I'm sorry.

So what would be a good thing for you to visualize

that might help relax you?

Me punching Porter in the face for being late.

Okay. Forget visualization. How about we try

some of that breathing stuff again?

Ugh. No. I hate that "Hee-hee-hee."

Feels stupid.

I know. But it works.

Relaxes you when you start to get stressed out.

Okay, nice job, everyone.

We're gonna show the birthing DVD now.

Julie, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I had to clean out the fryer before I could leave.

No worries. Plus you smell like french fries.

I love french fries.

It's because you're about to go through...

You missed, like, the whole class.

She did great. Let me tell you, this girl can visualize.

I planned on getting out early, but a shift opened up,

and I had to take it. What do you want me to say?

I want you to say that you'll be on time

for one thing we do as we get ready to have this baby.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee."

It's not funny, Mrs. Delfino.

Look. I said I'm sorry.

The point is, I'm here now,

and I'm 100% focused and ready to help.

Just stay calm.

The crowning begins,

and the head of the baby becomes visible.

Hello. This is Bree Van de Kamp. May I please speak with Trip?

Oh. Was he having lunch alone?

Oh, right. The blonde woman with the convertible.

I see. Right.

Thank you.

Okay, I know there's been a lot of talk

about what you should wear to the trial,

so I've selected a few outfits that just scream "Acquittal."

What do you think?

Black and white stripes?

Oh, good point. Don't need to put an idea in the jury's mind.

How about ruffles? I read somewhere

that no one has ever been convicted while wearing ruffles.

- Well... - Okay. You're right.

There's always a first time. To hell with ruffles.

How about this one?

It's lovely, but I am being accused of sleeping

with a total stranger and killing him.

And red is the color of blood and whores. Got it.

Don't worry. We'll find something else.

Bree, something wrong?

Apart from me standing trial for murder in three days, no.

Life is good.

Relax. It's gonna be okay.

And remember, you're actually innocent.

Juries can sense things like that.

- I hope you're right. - Of course I am.

And Trip's a brilliant lawyer.

He's gonna get you off in no time.

I'm just worried that he's been a little distracted lately.

He seems fine to me.

I have some other dresses in the back.

Let me bring 'em out for you.

It's gonna turn out fine, Bree.

Honestly, I'm not worried at all.

India?

Not India. He said he's going to Mumbai.

That's in India, you idiot.

- How long are you gonna be gone? - A year.

What? Dad, you're gonna miss my eighth grade graduation.

It won't be so bad. We can send him pictures.

We can skype.

So he's supposed to teach me to drive over the computer?

And he's gonna miss the birth of my baby.

I am sorry, guys. Look, I talked to my boss.

He's not changing his mind. There's nothing I can do.

Besides, it's... it's just for a year.

It'll go by like that.

Daddy, no!

I don't want you to go.

I know. I love you so much, baby.

Guys, could I have a minute alone with your dad?

Yeah, sure.

Guys, it's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get through this!

I don't know how we're gonna get through this.

So how did Jane take the news?

Um, timing could've been better.

We're not exactly in a good place right now.

Well, maybe some time apart will do you good.

Hmm. Maybe.

It's gonna be...

really weird being so far away.

I know. It's gonna be so hard on the kids.

Actually, I was talking about you.

I don't think we've ever been apart

for more than a month.

Who's gonna tell me what to do?

What to think?

Whether your shoes are on the right feet.

Exactly.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm...

so sorry.

Why?
