Desperate Housewives

Previously on...

Ben took money from a loan shark.

If you're not good for it,

I understand that pretty girlfriend of yours is loaded.

Julie had more then one surprise for Susan.

I'm giving it up for adoption.

What?

You slammed your doors in my face!

Bree rejected her friends.

Let go of me!

But it was Orson who came to her rescue.

Your friends called me.

Orson Hodge had always known one thing...

Bree Van de Kamp was the perfect woman for him.

When he was sick, she nursed him back to health.

When he was arrested,

she promised to wait for him.

And when he suffered a terrible injury,

she did everything he couldn't.

So now that Bree was suffering,

Orson intended to care for her.

I've found that whatever the problem,

a cup of tea always makes things a little better.

Thank you.

To think, if you hadn't been there,

what that terrible man might've done...

Don't think about that.

You're safe now. I'm here.

You really are a good friend.

Perhaps my only one.

What a thing to say.

You're still close with Gabrielle, Lynette, and Susan, aren't you?

Is something wrong?

We're estranged.

Really?

I thought the four of you were inseparable.

I know, but something happened a few months ago, and...

Bree?

After everything we've been through,

I promise you can trust me.

I don't want you to know.

You're the only one who still believes in me.

And I always will.

Please, I can see this is tearing you up.

For your own good tell me.

About six months ago...

we threw a dinner part

but before the guests arrived at Gaby's,

something terrible happened.

Orson, I understand you're shocked, but please talk to me.

I am shocked.

You agree help cover up Carlos' crime,

and then they just abandon you? How can your friends do that?

You're angry at them?

Yes.

They took advantage of you and then hung you out to dry.

It's appalling.

So even after hearing what I've done,

you still believe in me?

Yes, Orson Hodge knew that Bree was the perfect woman for him.

And now that he had her back...

I believe in you more than ever.

He had no intention of letting her go.

Lynette Scavo had discovered

the silver lining of separation...

shared custody.

For three glorious days a week,

she had no child demanding her attention...

no one to set an example for...

and plenty of time to exercise.

But Lynette forgot that when it comes to being a mother,

you can run...

Hey, mom!

But you can never hide.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

Nothing. Jeez, do we need a reason to bring flowers

to the woman who gave us life?

Suitcases? Why are there suitcases?

Okay, we had a little disagreement with our landlord,

and we were kind of evicted.

No! No! No! No! No!

Go away! You are not moving back here.

Mom, come on...

I spent 18 years getting you out of here.

There's no damn way I'm letting you back in.

Okay, mom.

We understand.

Yeah, we have to learn to live on our own.

No.

Come on! Just for a week.

I know you guys. A week would turn into a year,

a year into 20,

and pretty soon, you're taking me off the respirator,

saying "It's what mom would've wanted."

Please let us in. We're children of divorce.

Exactly. Go to your dad's.

But we like you so much more.

Don't give me that.

No, seriously, dad has that stupid girlfriend.

And he's been so unfair to you.

You had me at "Stupid girlfriend."

Hey, sweetie. Whatcha doing?

Oh, the adoption agency sent me a few more couples to check out.

Okay, that guy's got serial killer eyes.

Oh, he does not. That's from the flash.

Fine. You want your baby to be on the run.

Any other choices?

I like them.

Oh, gay couple.

Uh, that's not a man.

Oh, too bad. They're great with kids.

Okay, that's it. Nobody's ever gonna be good enough for you.

So you've totally ruled out keeping it?

Yes, totally.

And I get no say in the matter?

Now you're talkin'.

You need to stop hassling her.

I just wish there was something I could do

to keep her from giving this baby away.

Hey, what if I talk to the father?

Susan...

No, does he even know that she's doing this?

Maybe if I find him,

I tell him, and then he'll stop her.

That's a very bad idea.

- Says you. - What do your friends think?

I don't know. Not allowed to tell them.

Julie wants to keep this a big secret.

So you are the only one I'm allowed to talk to,

and I would really appreciate it if you would agree with me.

Look, this is killing me, too.

But it's her decision.

You keep pushing her,

it's not just a grandkid you're gonna lose.

Girls, let's go home now.

All right, I'm gonna count to three.

One...

two...

two and a half...

two and three-quarters...

You don't know any more fractions, do you?

All right, that is it, smart-ass.

I am calling your father.

And you better watch out,

because this phone has a whup-ass app.

Hi, sweetie. I am just getting ready to meditate.

Can I call you back?

No! No, no, no. Enough nurturing your inner child.

I need you to come home

and whack a couple of your outer ones.

I can't come home until my treatment is complete.

That's another 16 days.

In 16 days, I can't guarantee

you're gonna have children to come home to.

You wouldn't believe the things that are going through my mind.

Gaby.

I'm just saying, I've got rocks, they've got backpacks,

and there's a lake on the way to school.

Look... I know that it has been tough on you

with me being in rehab.

You have no idea. I am losing my mind.

I'm looking after your business,

I'm running the house,

I'm trying to keep the girls in line.

Let me talk to Juanita.

Juanita, talk to your father.

Hey, daddy.

Anything biting?

Karen kicked me out.

Oh, my god. What happened?

I don't know.

Seems like everything I do lately gets her mad.

"Lately"? She's a grouchy old lady.

That's why we love and fear her.

Nah, this is different.

I think it's gonna take a while for her to cool down.

And in the meantime, I got no place to go.

Yeah. Well, you know, it's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

Not for me.

I slept there once.

Woke up at 2:00 in the morning with a guy massaging my feet.

Well, at least she gave me my fishing pole

so I won't starve to death.

The church has a koi pond, right?

There's that frontier spirit.

Okay, Gaby. It's obvious you're not picking up my hints.

No, I am. I'm just ignoring them.

Look, I'd offer you a room at my place,

but my kids are young and loud...

And I'm old and deaf. It's perfect.

Thanks, Gaby.

I'd ask Bree if I could crash with her,

but she's got Orson over there.

You need to be helping your mother out more.

You know, helping around the house...

Thanks, honey. You've been a big help.

- I gotta call the girls. Bye. - Gaby!

Ladies.

I saw you through the window

and just had to come out to say hello.
