Desperate Housewives

Previously on Desperate Housewives...

Susan's new boyfriend met the family...

Who are you?

Hi

I'm Mike. Her ex-Husband.

Gaby's life was no long glamorous.

Now it's official. I've lost everything.

First our money, then my figure,

Now the last shreds of our social standing.

Baby, we have a home, and we have two beautiful little girls...

Danielle's decision was devastating.

Please, just don't take him!

Benjamin's all I have!

You're just gonna have to find something else.

And Edie's new husband showed the dark side.

I would consider it a personal favor

If you'd apologize to Edie.

No.

And it seems to me

That a woman you would like to keep

The few friends that she has left.

I think you'd better go.

Now why would you bring me flowers?

'Cause you've got a computer,

And I need to find out some stuff about Edie's husband.

Benjamin Katz was 6 years old,

And there were a lot of things he didn't understand.

He wasn't sure why the woman you call "mommy"

Isn't always your mother.

Or how the man who was always there for him

Could suddenly be taken away.

Or why you could go for a ride...

And never come back home.

Yes, there were a lot of things

Benjamin Katz couldn't understand,

And no one seemed in a hurry

To explain them.

Here they come, finally.

You know, Bree, things will be a little strange at first,

So please, be on your best behavior.

I do not require lectures on tact.

I know. It's just that we've missed Benjy so much,

And it's taken so many olive branches

To get them to come back. I'm aware of what's at stake, Orson.

Good. So if you feel an impulse to criticize something,

You'll keep the thought to yourself.

Hi!

I've already started.

Danielle! What a dightfully ethnic ensemble.

Hey, mom, Orson. Hi, Danielle.

Oh, I want to meet my husband Leo.

It's nice to finally meet both of you in person. Lovely to meet you, Leo.

Hey, who's this little linebacker?

Hi, Benjy. Remember me? I'm not sure.

That's okay. That's what this visit is for, right?

Getting to know each other.

Now we have you for the whole weekend, right?

Yep, whole three days.

Oh, good. 'Cause we've made lots of plans.

We're gonna take you to the circus

If it's okay with your folks. Can I go, Danielle?

"Danielle"? Did he just call you "Danielle"?

Well, it is my name.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I picked it.

I'm just concerned

People might view it as a sign of, um, disrespect.

By "people," you mean you?

Uh... Leo. Look at all the luggage you have here.

I'll give you a hand here. Okay. Oh, thanks.

Um... let me be clear.

I do no want him calling me "Bree."

Oh, don't worry. Td him to call you "granny."

Yes, Benjamin Katz was only 6 years old,

But even he could understand

This was going to be...

A long weekend.

Any child will tell you

That where you find a playground,

You will also find...

Bullies--

Young tyrants who bring pain...

Intimidation...

And violence.

What can children do in the face of such torment?

Well, there is one obvious option,

But not every child is eager to go running home to mother.

Ugh. Hey. Hon.

How was the park? Wait. Hold on.

Mommy just found her first gray hair.

I need you to grab it, yank it and never speak of it again.

Oh. Look at your face.

It's scratched.

What happened?

Nothing.

And your shirt is ripped.

That's the second time this week.

Is someone picking on you?

Who is it?

Is it jeffrey hixon, that weird kid who eats paper?

Is it timmy crowley?

His mom slept in her car last night.

Who knows what's going on there?

Is it that boy from your birthday,

The one who slugged the pony?

Oh, sweetie. I know you're upset,

But you'll feel better if you talk about it.

And there's nothing you can't tell me. I'm your mommy.

I wanna talk to daddy.

Okay.

We'll give him a call.

You're not gonna find another one in this condition.

I mean, the car is a classic.

Well, what do you think, Nabila?

Eh. I like it. I don't love it.

Tell you what.

Gaby and I want to find our car a nice home.

So I'm prepared to knock a grand off.

What do you say? I say knock off 5 grand, and we'll talk

Oh, come on. It's already priced way below blue book,

Not to mention it's mint. This is not mint.

Hey,an you not see this ding in the bumper here?

Okay, this car goes zero to 60 in 5 seconds.

By the time someone says, "wow, a ding,"

You're in the next county. 4 grand, you got yourself a deal.

Deal.

What? No! No, no deal!

The nondriving blind guy does not speak for me.

Would you excuse us?

Gaby, we've been trying to move this car for a month.

We need the cash.

God,sn't there any way we can keep it?

I mean, this car's the last thing I have

That tells the world, "I'm better than you."

Sorry, babe. We have to pay the mortgage.

We can't afford to be better than anyone.

Here.

Take good care of her.

Actually, it's not for us. It's for our nanny.

Okay, that one hurt.

So what'd you dig up on mr. X.?

You mean Dave? Yeah.

Nothing yet. It's been two days. What gives?

Well, for starters, when I search for "Dave Williams,"

I get a million and a half hits.

To narrow it down, I'm gonna need more information,

Like where he was born, where he went to school.

Did he serve time in the military? Oh, believe me,

If he served time, it was in the state pen.

Hey! Dave!

Morning, ladies.

Si bastard. How are you?

Hey, Katherine,

Your sprinkler system working okay now?

Like a charm. And thanks again.

I've never been able to get that to work. Oh, I hear ya.

To program those things, you need an engineering degree.

Oh, yeah? You got one of those?

Anyway... really appreciate it.

Take care.

I just can't go through with this.

He--He just strikes me as so nice.

That's supposed to comfort me,

Given your track record with men?

Katherine, please.

The guy is bad news.

I can't prove it, but I feel it in my bones.

And I can't sit around doing nothing when I know

That Edie's waking up every morning next to him.

If anyone finds out we're doing this...

No one will know.

And when they do, they'll probably thank us.

Because I'm telling ya, this guy is up to something.

Cleaning out the old garage-- My deepest sympathy.

Hey, Dave. You--You settling in okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, they finally delivered my flat screen.

I was dying without it. I mean, it is 65 inches.

Wow. Sweet!

Hey, w--The play-Offs are on. You should come check it out.

It's like being right on the field.

Yeah...

Um, Lynette's really busting my hump

About clearing this place out, so...

Well, maybe later.

The game doesn't start for a couple hours.

We could order one of those giant

Sandwiches. Sorry, but, you know, check back with me

Make sure I survive this whole thing. Okay.

Hi, Dave.

Hi.

Hey, Tom?

Yeah?

Why are there two piles?

Well, that's the pile that I'm throwing away,

And, uh, this is the stuff I still need.

You need unopened mountain climbing equipment from 1986?

You don't climb mountains.

Not yet, but someday. I mean, you know... who knows?

I know. You get winded just climbing out of the tub.

You're never gonna climb a mountain.
