PREVIOUSLY ON...

MIKE WAS THE VICTIM...

(engine revving)

OF A HIT AND RUN.

LYNETTE COULDN'T FORGIVE
HER MOTHER'S PAST.

YOU HAD TOM TO COME HOME TO.
I HAD YOUR STEPFATHER.

HEY, GLEN MAY HAVE BORED YOU,

BUT THE YEARS WE HAD A FATHER
IN THAT HOUSE

WERE THE HAPPIEST OF MY LIFE.
YOU DROVE HIM AWAY.
MOM, WHERE'S GRANDMA GOING?

BREE GOT HER SECOND CHANCE
TO BE A GOOD MOTHER.
(cries)

MIKE'S DEPENDENCY GREW...

ADDICTS ARE EXPERTS
AT DECEPTION.

(Gabrielle) VICTOR!
GET UP. I WANNA SEE
THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE

WHEN THE KNIFE GOES IN.
UHH!

AND VICTOR WAS LOST AT SEA.

(Mary Alice)
WE THINK OF THE PAST

AS WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE,

A CURRENT THAT CARRIES AWAY
THE MISTAKES OF OUR YOUTH--

THE LOVES WE LOST...

THE ADDICTIONS WE GAVE INTO...

THE OPPORTUNITIES
WE THREW AWAY...

BUT SOONER OR LATER,

REMINDERS DRIFT BACK
INTO OUR LIVES...

OF THE MISTAKES WE MADE...

AND THE SINS WE COMMITTED.

(hushed voice) CARLOS,
WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?

I TOLD YOU
WE CAN'T BE SEEN TOGETHER.
(hushed voice)
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

WE GOTTA GO TO THE COPS.
OH, OKAY. AND SAY WHAT?
"YES, OFFICER,

"MY LOVER AND I KNOCKED
MY HUSBAND OVERBOARD TWICE

AND LEFT HIM FOR DEAD. OKAY.
BYE-BYE." I DON'T THINK SO.

BUT HE'S THE MAYOR.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GONNA
NOTICE HE'S MISSING,

AND THEN
THEY'RE GONNA ASK QUESTIONS.

LET THEM ASK. NO ONE KNOWS
WE WERE ON THAT BOAT.

LET'S JUST PLAY DUMB
AND RIDE THIS THING OUT.
GABY, DON'T YOU FEEL GUILTY?
A MAN IS DEAD.

YES, I FEEL AWFUL,
BUT HE THREATENED OUR LIVES.

IT WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

EXACTLY. SO THEN WHY DON'T WE
GO AND TELL THE POLICE?

O-OW!

HE TOOK THE LORD'S NAME
IN VAIN. (scoffs)

(lowers voice)
LOOK, WE HAVE A GOOD PLAN.

LET'S JUST STICK TO IT.

OKAY, OKAY.
I WON'T SAY ANYTHING.

GOOD. NOW UNTIL THIS BLOWS OVER,
DON'T CALL ME AGAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I'M PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE.

CARLOS, IF VICTOR HAD LIVED,
HE WOULD'VE KILLED US.

I'M THINKING WE ALREADY
HAD OUR MIRACLE.

YES, THE MISTAKES OF OUR PAST

HAVE A WAY OF DRIFTING BACK
INTO OUR LIVES...

AND WHEN THEY DO...

WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM.

ONE DAY IN THE EARLY FALL,

MIKE DELFINO HURT HIS SHOULDER.

OW! GOD.

TO EASE HIS PAIN,

HE TOOK A LITTLE WHITE PILL
RECOMMENDED BY HIS DOCTOR.

THE PAIN PERSISTED,
SO HE TOOK ANOTHER...

AND ANOTHER.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN MIKE'S PAIN
BEGAN TO SUBSIDE,

HIS NEED
FOR THE LITTLE WHITE PILLS...

DID NOT.

BUT MIKE NEVER SHARED THIS
WITH THOSE WHO CARED ABOUT HIM,

ONLY WITH THOSE WHO COULD NOT
HAVE CARED LESS.

(beeping)

HEY, IT'S MIKE. I'M OUT.
I NEED TO MEET YOU TOMORROW.

GREAT.
GOT THAT MONEY YOU OWE ME?

NO, BUT YOU KNOW
I'M GOOD FOR IT.

YOU PRICE
CHEMISTRY TEXTBOOKS LATELY?

THEY'RE, LIKE, 300 BUCKS.

I NEED MY MONEY, MIKE.

AND YOU'LL GET IT, ALL RIGHT?

CAN'T YOU JUST FRONT ME
SOMETHING FOR NOW?

WELL, ADVICE IS FREE.
PILLS AREN'T.

MY ADVICE--GET SOME CASH.

(beep)

(water running)

(vehicle approaches)

OH.

SO, HEY, YOU KNOW,
I BETTER GET GOING.

(Julie)
YEAH, UM, I SHOULD, TOO.

HEY!

MOM.

CAN WE TALK?
THIS WILL JUST TAKE A SECOND.

DID YOU KISS THAT BOY?

NO, I WAS
KIND OF INTERRUPTED.
OH, WELL,
YOU'RE GONNA THANK ME.

DO YOU KNOW THAT HE HAS
HIS TONGUE PIERCED?

YEAH. HE SHOWED ME.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I CHECKED OUT HIS WEB PAGE.

YOU DID NOT.
I DID, TOO, AND DO YOU KNOW
WHAT ELSE HE HAS PIERCED?

AND IF YOU DO,
YOU'RE GROUNDED.
OKAY, YES, MOM,

DEREK HAS BOUGHT
INTO THE WHOLE PIERCING CRAZE,

BUT AREN'T YOU THE ONE
WHO TOLD ME TO NOT JUDGE A BOOK

BY ITS COVER?
IF THE COVER HAS HOLES IN IT,
THE BOOK IS NO GOOD.

OKAY,
THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER.

I AM GOING TO KISS DEREK
GOOD NIGHT.
OH, FINE. BREAK MY HEART.

WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT?
WE'RE JUST DATING.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S TRYING
TO PUT A RING ON MY FINGER.

TRUST ME. YOUR FINGER
IS NOT WHERE HE'D PUT IT.
(scoffs)

(door slams)

(sighs)

AW, HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
WHEN HE SLEEPS.

I'LL PUT HIM IN THE CRIB.

NO,
HE'LL BE SLEEPING WITH US.

WHY?
IS HE RUNNING A FEVER?

HE'S FINE, BUT I'VE BEEN
DOING SOME READING,

AND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE SAY

THAT BABIES SLEEP BETTER
NEXT TO THEIR PARENTS.

IT'S CALLED THE "FAMILY BED."
NO, I'VE HEARD OF THAT.

ISN'T IT DESIGNED
TO FACILITATE BREAST-FEEDING?

PARTLY. WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

YOU'RE NOT LACTATING. IF OUR SON
WANTS TO BE NEAR THE MILK,

HE'LL HAVE TO SLEEP
IN THE REFRIGERATOR.

(scoffs) THIS ISN'T
JUST FOR ME AND BENJAMIN.

THIS WILL HELP YOU
BOND WITH HIM, TOO.

OH, PERHAPS, BUT IT'S SURE NOT
GONNA HELP ME BOND WITH YOU.

DARLING, SEX IS
THE LAST THING WOMEN WANT

RIGHT AFTER
THEY'VE GIVEN BIRTH.

BUT YOU DIDN'T GIVE BIRTH. YOU
WATCHED AND SERVED REFRESHMENTS.

WELL, THAT DOESN'T MAKE CARING
FOR AN INFANT ANY LESS TIRING.

CAN'T WE
JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE?

I SUPPOSE.

WHAT IF I ROLL OVER
AND CRUSH HIM?

DON'T.

(sighs)

YES, HI.
I'M LOOKING FOR MY MOM.

SHE HANGS OUT
AT YOUR BAR SOMETIMES.

STELLA WINGFIELD?

UH, OLDER LADY, BIG SMOKER,
TALKS LIKE A TEAMSTER.

WELL, THAT'S YOUR FAULT
FOR LETTING HER RUN A TAB.

LOOK,IFYOU SEE HER, COULD YOU
TELL HER TO CALL LYNETTE?

THANK YOU.

(beep)

I KNOW
THAT YOU ARE WORRIED,

BUT I AM SURE
YOUR MOTHER IS FINE.

SHE'S BROKE AND OLD AND RUDE.

THAT IS NOT A WINNING
COMBINATION ON THE STREET.

STELLA
IS VERY RESOURCEFUL.
(beeping)

DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT
SHE ONCE MADE HER OWN BOOZE

BY PUTTING A BAG OF ORANGES
UNDER THE RADIATOR?

LUCY, LYDIA AND I FOUGHT
OVER WHOHADTO TAKE HER.

SHE WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE. GOD ONLY
KNOWS WHAT SHE HEARD US SAY.
YEAH, WELL, AFTER THE CRAP
SHE PUT YOU GUYS THROUGH,

YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO RESENT HER.
IT IS A LOT EASIER
TO RESENT YOUR PARENTS

WHEN YOU KNOW THEY'RE SAFE
IN SOME RETIREMENT VILLAGE,

BUT TO KNOW
THAT SHE'S OUT THERE,

MAYBE LYING FACEDOWN
IN AN ALLEY...

THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO DO.

SHE WANTS YOU TO FEEL GUILTY.
DON'T BUY INTO IT.

OKAY. OKAY.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

(sighs)

LYNETTE.

THE MORGUE IS LISTED
UNDER GOVERNMENT OFFICES, RIGHT?

(knock on door, door opens)

MRS. LANG?

THE POLICE ARE HERE.

(sighs)

OH.

(ring clatters on table)

MA'AM.

I'M DETECTIVE BERRY.
THIS IS DETECTIVE LYONS.

CAN WE ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS?

OF COURSE.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW MR. LANG?

I GUESS TWO DAYS AGO.
WHY? WHAT'S WRONG?

HIS OFFICE
HAS REPORTED HIM MISSING.
OH, NO. THEY DID?

AND THIS MORNING,
THE COAST GUARD

FOUND HIS EMPTY BOAT
FLOATING IN THE BAY.

OH, MY GOD.
I HOPE THIS ISN'T...

OH.

LAST TIME I SAW HIM,
I TOLD HIM I WAS LEAVING HIM.

HOW DID HE REACT
TO THAT NEWS?

WELL, HE TOOK IT
PRETTY HARD.

OH, YOU DON'T THINK HE DID
ANYTHING STUPID, DO YOU?

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE DON'T.

YOU DON'T?

WHEN WE EXAMINED THE BOAT,

WE DIDN'T FIND
A SINGLE FINGERPRINT,

NOT EVEN MR. LANG'S.

WELL, THAT'S WEIRD.

WHAT--WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT MEANS?

IT WOULD INDICATE SOMEBODY
WIPED THAT BOAT DOWN

AFTER MR. LANG WAS...
GONE.

WHOEVER WAS ON THAT BOAT
IS CLEARLY NOT THAT BRIGHT.

OKAY, THIS IS NO TIME FOR
NAME-CALLING. A MAN IS MISSING.

WELL, DON'T WORRY, MA'AM.

WE GOT OUR BEST MEN
ON THIS CASE, 'ROUND THE CLOCK.

WE'LL FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HUSBAND.

GREAT.

OH. (sighs)

(knock on door)

(sighs)

HI.

HI. I'M BARRETT.
IS MIKE HOME?
NO, HE'S AT WORK.

OH, SHOOT.
I NEEDED TO TALK TO HIM.

WE'RE, UH, JUST DOING
SOME BUSINESS TOGETHER.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHEN HE'S GONNA BE HOME,

BUT YOU COULD COME BACK
LATER TONIGHT.
OH, I CAN'T DO THAT. I HAVE
TO STUDY FOR AN ORGO TEST.

ORGO?
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.
I'M PRE-MED.

PRE-MED?

REALLY?

(sighs deeply)

OH, HELLO, DEAR.

ANDREW, GET ORSON'S PLATE
FROM THE OVEN.

ASK ME
HOW MY MORNING WAS.

ALL RIGHT. HOW WAS IT?

AFTER TWO NIGHTS

OF SLEEPLESS BONDING
WITH MY SON,

I NEARLY DOZED OFF

WHILE REPAIRING
MRS. COLBY'S CRACKED MOLAR.

I DOUBT IF THE CROWN I PUT IN
WILL LAST HER A YEAR.

SO YOU'LL REPLACE IT
FOR FREE.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

HOW IS A DENTIST
SUPPOSED TO FEEL

WHEN HE CAN'T GIVE A 90-YEAR-OLD
A LIFETIME GUARANTEE?

BREE, I'M SORRY, BUT THIS WHOLE
FAMILY BED THING HAS TO STOP.

OH, GIVE IT SOME TIME.
WE'RE STILL ADJUSTING,

AND BENJAMIN
IS SLEEPING SO SOUNDLY.

WELL, HE CAN SLEEP
JUST AS SOUNDLY IN A CRIB.

FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD ME,

YOU AND REX DIDN'T HAUL ANDREW
INTO BED WITH YOU.
NO, AND I WISH WE HAD.

IF WE DID, HE MIGHTN'T
HAVE TURNED OUT SO...

SO WHAT?

STUPID? LAZY? SHORT?

I WAS GOING TO SAY ANGRY,

AND PERHAPS
THAT ANGER BEGAN

WHEN WE EXILED YOU
TO THE NURSERY.

I'M JUST TRYING TO LEARN
FROM MY MISTAKES.

SO I'M--I'M WHAT,
LIKE THE FIRST PANCAKE?

DON'T BE SO SENSITIVE.

WE'LL FIND SOMETHING TO HELP
YOU SLEEP--MAYBE SOME WARM MILK.

I KNOW SOMETHING
THAT USED TO HELP ME SLEEP.

OF COURSE, THAT'S OFF THE MENU
THESE DAYS.
COULD THE MISTAKE
HAVE THE SALT?

AND IF YOU'RE AS TIRED
AS YOU SAY YOU ARE,

THEN YOU'RE BOUND
TO SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT.

YES, I WILL, BECAUSE I'LL BE
SLEEPING IN THE DEN.
YOU'RE LEAVING OUR BED?

DARLING, I NEED TO EITHER SLEEP
OR GET LUCKY TONIGHT.

I'LL HAVE A BETTER SHOT
AT BOTH IF I'M ALONE.

GOSH, YOU'RE STUDYING
TO BE A DOCTOR.

THAT MUST NOT LEAVE YOU
A LOT OF FREE TIME FOR HOBBIES

OR... A GIRLFRIEND.

WELL, I HAVE THE TIME. I JUST
DON'T HAVE THE GIRLFRIEND.

OH. WELL, NO RUSH.

YOU KNOW, JUST YESTERDAY, I WAS
TELLING MY DAUGHTER JULIE--

OH, YOU KNOW,
THAT IS SO RUDE.

I-I'M TALKING
ABOUT MY DAUGHTER,

AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE.

THAT'S HER.

SHE'S CUTE.

OH, BARRETT, I WASN'T
FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS.

IF IWAS...

I WOULD'VE
SHOWN YOU THIS ONE.

WOW.

(cell phone rings)

OH, EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY.
I GOTTA TAKE THIS.

OH, SURE. I HAVE
TO CHECK ON THE LAUNDRY.

(beep)

YEAH?

(lowers voice) NO, BONEHEAD,
I DON'T SELL THAT STUFF.

JUST PILLS, SMOKES
AND 'SHROOMAGE. THAT'S IT.

20 BUCKS, CASH ONLY.
MEET YOU AT THE DORM.
(beep)

LOOK WHAT I FOUND
ON THE DRYER.

JULIE WON SECOND PLACE
IN THE STATE SCIENCE FAIR.

THAT'S AWESOME.

YEAH,
GOOD-LOOKINGANDSMART.

ONLY PROBLEM IS,

WHERE IS SHE GONNA FIND
SOMEONE ELSE LIKE THAT?

WELL, I GOTTA GET GOING.
MY STUDY PARTNER'S

GIVING ME A HARD TIME
ABOUT THAT TEST, SO...

OH, THAT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW,
WHY DON'T YOU COME BACK TOMORROW

TO SEE MIKE, AND IF JULIE
HAPPENS TO BE HERE,

MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE HER
SOME ADVICE

ON PICKING OUT COLLEGES
AND STUFF.

YEAH, SOUNDS GREAT.
SEE YOU TOMORROW, MRS. DELFINO.
OH, PLEASE, CALL ME "MOM."

UH, BECAUSE...

THAT'S WHAT ALL THE KIDS
CALL ME.

(door shuts)

(sighs)

OH, THANK YOU.

HEY, BREE. (chuckles)
TABLE FOR, UH, ONE AND A HALF?

NO, THANKS. I'M JUST DROPPING
OFF ANDREW'S CELL PHONE.

HE FORGOT IT AGAIN.
OKAY. I'LL GIVE IT TO HIM.

UM, TOM,
MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
MM-HMM.

DID YOU AND LYNETTE
DO THE FAMILY BED

WHEN YOUR CHILDREN
WERE BABIES?
WELL, IT WASN'T
EXACTLY A CHOICE.

THEY JUST KEPT CRAWLING
IN THERE. (chuckles)

SO, UM, NOT TO PRY,
BUT, UM,

DID THAT CREATE ANY,
UH, ISSUES FOR YOU?

YOU MEAN SEX?
(chuckles nervously) APPARENTLY,
"NOT TO PRY" WASN'T NECESSARY.

WELL, IT DID PUT A CRIMP
ON THINGS AT FIRST,

BUT THAT JUST FORCED US
TO BE MORE CREATIVE.

OH. AGAIN, NOT TO PRY,
BUT--

THE OFFICE.
(gasps)

WE DID IT AT THE OFFICE,
ONCE IN THE CAR,

AND YOU REMEMBER WHEN YOU
ASKED US TO WATCH THE HOUSE

WHEN YOU GUYS
WERE GOING OUT OF TOWN?

OKAY. THANKS.
YES, UM, WE'LL BE GOING NOW.

HEY, OTHER THAN YOUR ISSUE,
HOW DOES ORSON LIKE BEING A DAD?

OH, HE JUST ADORES IT.

THE THREE OF US ARE
SUCH A HAPPY LITTLE FAMILY.

AREN'T WE? MM.
THAT IS GREAT.

BYE.
BYE.

(front door opens)

(door shuts)

WELL, I REPLACED THAT GASKET.
(groans) SHOULDN'T LEAK ANYMORE.

GREAT.
(doorbell rings)

WHY DON'T YOU GRAB US
A COUPLE BEERS?

SYLVIA.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.

LOOK, YOU NEED TO LEAVE.

I DON'T WANT KATHERINE
FINDING YOU HERE.

OH, BUT KATHERINE'S GONE.

I WAITED UNTIL SHE DROVE AWAY
SO WE COULD BE ALONE.

AREN'T YOU GONNA
INVITE ME IN?

AFTER YOU RUINED MY LIFE?
I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU RUINED YOUR OWN LIFE.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT US.

SYLVIA, WHY DON'T YOU
DO US BOTH A FAVOR

AND GO BACK TO CHICAGO?

ADAM, LET ME IN.

HEY, MAN. YOUR, UH,
YOUR BEER'S GETTING WARM.

OH, YOU HAVE GUESTS.

WELL,

I GUESS I'LL JUST DROP BY
SOME OTHER TIME.

(locks door)

I'M SORRY, MAN. IT JUST SOUNDED
LIKE YOU NEEDED A LITTLE HELP.

THANKS. THAT'S, UM,
A-AN EX-PATIENT...
OH.

WITH SOME PRETTY SERIOUS
MENTAL PROBLEMS.

UH, COULD YOU DO ME
A BIG FAVOR?

I'D RATHER KATHERINE
DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS HERE.

OH. OH, YEAH.

YEAH, THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, I WAS
GONNA ASK YOU A FAVOR, TOO.

I'VE GOT THIS PAIN
IN MY SHOULDER.

YOU--YOU THINK YOU COULD
WRITE ME A PRESCRIPTION?

OH, I WISH
I COULD HELP YOU OUT,

BUT A GYNECOLOGIST WRITING
A PRESCRIPTION FOR A MAN?

IT KIND OF RAISES
A RED FLAG.

YEAH.

AH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

THIS FAVOR THING

DOESN'T HAVE
TO GO BOTH WAYS.

LINDA, IS MRS. ZIMMERMAN HERE?

HELLO, DOCTOR.

BREE.
WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE.

UH, I'VE GOT
A NEW PATIENT COMING IN.

MMM, YES, YOU DO.

I'M MRS. ZIMMERMAN.

UH, YOUR MESSAGE SAID YOU HAD
A CAVITY THAT NEEDED FILLING?

I WAS IN A VERY NAUGHTY MOOD
WHEN I LEFT THAT.

(whirring)

YOU'RE WAITING OUTSIDE.
WHY ARE YOU WAITING OUTSIDE?

EVERYTHING IS FINE.
IT'S JUST, UM, SOMEONE'S HERE.

OH, MY GOD.
IT'S THE POLICE?

NO, NO.
NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S YOUR STEPFATHER.

GLEN?

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

LYNNIE.

OH, IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

OH, GOD. ONLY THREE DECADES
GIVE OR TAKE A YEAR,

BUT WHO CARES?
(chuckles)

OH, GOSH.
YOU LOOK GREAT.

OH, SO DO YOU, ALTHOUGH
WHAT--WHAT--WHAT'S THIS?

OH, JUST A LITTLE CANCER.

NO, BUT I KICKED ITS ASS.
I'M GOOD NOW.

OH.

OH.

(laughs)

HI. HI. HI. HI!

YOU COME HERE. OH!

SO WHY--WHY ARE YOU HERE?

WELL...

YOUR MOTHER CALLED ME.

SHE DID? IS SHE OKAY?

UH, SHE SOUNDS FINE.
SHE ASKED FOR MONEY.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS
HAD KEPT IN TOUCH.

WELL, WE HADN'T.
I'M MEETING HER TOMORROW

AT FAIRVIEW PARK
TO GIVE IT TO HER,

AND I'M GUESSING
YOU'LL WANT TO COME WITH ME.

YES, YES, THANK YOU,
BUT WHERE HAS SHE BEEN STAYING?

SHE BROKE INTO A CAR
AND SPENT THE NIGHT THERE.

OH, MY GOD.

BUT SHE DID SAY
IT WAS A CADILLAC.

OH, WELL, GOOD. AT LEAST
SHE'S NOT LIVING LIKE A HOBO.

OH, MY GOD. I'M SO GLAD
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

OH, YOU, TOO, LYNNIE.

MM.

HEY, BREE.

OH. (chuckles)
HELLO, ADAM.

I JUST DROPPED BY TO SEE
YOUR HUSBAND. IS HE HERE?

HE'S IN THE EXAM ROOM,
READJUSTING THE CHAIR.

LOOK, I'M SORRY
MIKE IS IN SUCH PAIN,

BUT IT'S NOT REALLY ETHICAL

FOR ME TO WRITE HIM
A PRESCRIPTION.

I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE DICEY,

BUT YOU'D REALLY
BE DOING ME A BIG FAVOR.

BY THE WAY, BREE LOOKS GREAT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE
I DELIVERED DANIELLE'S BABY.

SORRY. YOUR BABY.

HEY, ANDREW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

JUST GIVING YOU THAT SEWING ROOM
YOU ALWAYS WANTED.

YOU'RE MOVING OUT?

BUT YOU CAN'T
AFFORD AN APARTMENT.

I CAN AFFORD THIS ONE,

WHICH WILL GIVE YOU SOME IDEA
HOW CRAPPY THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS.

I'M SORRY.
I DON'T--I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I'M DOING THIS FOR YOU. HOW ARE
YOU GONNA GET A FRESH START

WITH YOUR PAST MISTAKES
STINKING UP THE PLACE?

IS THIS
ABOUT THE OTHER MORNING?

OH, FOR HEAVEN SAKES,
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

I AM. IN FACT, I ALREADY
GAVE THE LANDLORD A CHECK.

SO I HOPE THE THREE OF YOU
ARE VERY HAPPY.

WELL, TO BE HONEST,

I'M NOT ENTIRELY COMFORTABLE
GIVING THIS TO YOU, MIKE.

PAIN MEDICATION
ONLY HELPS YOUR SYMPTOMS.

IF THIS IS CHRONIC, YOU NEED TO
BE SEEING A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED, ORSON?
I NEED TO TAKE A FEW WEEKS OFF,

BUT I CAN'T,
'CAUSE I'VE GOT TO WORK...

FOR THE BABY,
FOR JULIE'S CLASS TRIP,

THE PATIO FURNITURE

AND EVERYTHING ELSE
SUSAN'S GOT ME PAYING FOR.

ARE YOU OKAY, MIKE?
YOU SOUND A LITTLE UNHAPPY.

(sighs) NO, NO, I'M HAPPY,

AND I DON'T MEAN TO PUT
ALL OF THIS ON SUSAN.

IT'S JUST, WHEN I SIGNED UP
FOR THIS SUBURBAN DAD THING,

I DIDN'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT
I WAS GETTING MYSELF INTO.

NO, I UNDERSTAND.

STILL, THIS IS NO WAY
TO DEAL WITH STRESS.

IT'S NOT ABOUT STRESS.

IT'S ABOUT THE PAIN
I'VE BEEN IN EVERY DAY

SINCE I GOT HIT BY THAT CAR.

YOU MEAN THIS PAIN
IS RELATED TO YOUR ACCIDENT?

IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.

SOME SON OF A BITCH
RAN ME DOWN AND TOOK OFF.

RIGHT.

WELL, I HOPE THIS HELPS.

MM.

OH, MIKE, YOU'RE HOME.

I WAS DREAMING
WE WERE PONIES.

THAT'S NICE.
GO BACK TO SLEEP.

HEY, THAT KID, UM, BARRETT
CAME BY TODAY.

WHAT?

YEAH, HE SAID THAT YOU
OWED HIM MONEY FOR SOME...

PLUMBING JOB
THAT HE HELPED YOU ON.

YEAH. YEAH,
I GOTTA GET THAT TO HIM.

OH.

HE'S COMING BACK TOMORROW.

(water running)
DON'T YOU THINK
HE WOULD BE PERFECT FOR JULIE?

(beeping)

BARRETT, IT'S DELFINO.

I'M ONLY GONNA SAY THIS ONCE.
I'LL GET YOU YOUR MONEY,

BUT DON'TEVER
COME TO MY HOUSE AGAIN.

YOU GOT IT?

EVER.

(beeping)

YES, HELLO.

I'D, UH, LIKE TO LEAVE
AN ANONYMOUS TIP

ABOUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

UH, DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND
OF VOICE MAIL MENU FOR THAT?

WELL, IT'S ABOUT THE MAYOR.

OH, I DON'T THINK HE'S MISSING.

I THINK HE'S DEAD.

LOOK, THAT'S IT.
WE GOTTA GO TO THE COPS.

CARLOS, PLEASE.

LOOK, WE BLEW IT WITH
THE FINGERPRINTS, ALL RIGHT?

NOW THEY KNOW SOMEONE ELSE
WAS WITH HIM ON THE BOAT.

THEY DON'T KNOW
THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS US.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

I MEAN, MAKE A LIST OF PEOPLE
WITH A MOTIVE TO KILL VICTOR.

NUMBER ONE--YOU.
NUMBER TWO--YOU.

NUMBER THREE--MAYBE ME,
PROBABLY STILL YOU.

OKAY, IF WE JUST STAY CALM
AND STICK TO THE STORY...

WE TRIED THAT.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

I'M GOING TO THE COPS.

NOW YOU CAN EITHER
COME WITH ME

OR WAIT FOR THEM
TO COME AND GET YOU.

FINE. I'LL GO.

THANK YOU.

CAN WE AT LEAST HAVE A DRINK
BEFORE WE GO? CALM OUR NERVES?

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T TALK
TO THE COPS

THE WAY
YOU'VE BEEN BABBLING TO ME.

(sighs) I GUESS ONE DRINK
WOULDN'T HURT.

(raises voice)
YOU OKAY WITH TEQUILA?

ONLY IF
IT'S THE GOOD STUFF!

OH, I THINK YOU'LL FIND
THIS HAS A REAL KICK.

OH, AND THIS IS THE WORST.
DURING A DISSECTION,

MY ANATOMY LAB PARTNER SQUIRTED
STOMACH JUICE IN MY EYE.

EW. THAT IS SO DISGUSTING.
OH, IT WAS TERRIBLE.

(laughs) SO GROSS. EW.

HEY. WHAT ARE YOU
SMILING ABOUT?

MY MATCHMAKING SKILLS.

JULIE AND BARRETT
ARE REALLY HITTING IT OFF.

BARRETT?

YEAH, YOUR FRIEND.

I TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT
HE WAS COMING BY AGAIN.

(milk pours)

I APPRECIATE ALL THE PRESSURE
YOU'RE PUTTING ON ME.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

UH, JULIE,
COULD YOU GIVE US A MINUTE?

BARRETT AND I HAVE
A LITTLE BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.

SURE.
I'LL JUST GRAB MY JACKET.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
TO STAY AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.

BUT YOUR WIFE INVITED ME.

AND, HEY, YOU MARRIED
INTO A CUTE FAMILY. KUDOS.

HERE'S YOUR MONEY.
NOW GET OUT.

WE WERE JUST LEAVING. I'M TAKING
JULIE ON A TOUR OF MY CAMPUS.

THERE IS NO WAY
I'M LETTING HER GO ANYWHERE

WITH A LOWLIFE DRUG DEALER.

LOWLIFE? DUDE, I'M A PRE-MED
STUDENT WHO'S FOUND

AN ENTERPRISING WAY TO EARN
HIS WAY THROUGH COLLEGE.

YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND,
ARE A JUNKIE,

AND I DON'T THINK YOU WANT
YOUR CUTE FAMILY KNOWING THAT,

DO YA?

I'LL HAVE HER HOME
BY 10:00.

MMM. THIS IS DELICIOUS,
MRS. DELFINO.

THANK YOU. HEY, YOU KNOW,
WOULD YOU LIKE ME

TO PACK SOME UP
FOR YOU GUYS TO TAKE?

THIS GUY'S A DRUG DEALER.

WHAT?

YOU REMEMBER THOSE PILLS
YOU FOUND? HE SOLD THEM TO ME.

LOOK, MRS. DELFINO--

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

GET HIM OUT OF MY HOUSE!

OKAY. I'LL GO.

IT'S A SHAME, THOUGH.

HE WAS SUCH A GOOD CUSTOMER.

(door opens, slams)

HEY.

WHERE'D BARRETT GO?

WHY AM I SO SLEEPY
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

OH, I DON'T KNOW,

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING WELL,
MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THIS OFF.

NO, NO, NO.
WE GOTTA GO NOW.

CRAP!
WHAT?

(grunts)

OW. OH!

DETECTIVES!

ANY, UH, NEWS
ON MY HUSBAND?

NOT YET, BUT WE'VE GOT
SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

OH, OKAY. SO ASK AWAY.

MRS. LANG, WERE YOU HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR EX-HUSBAND?

CARLOS?

THAT'S CRAZY.
WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT?

YOUR NEIGHBOR CALLED US.

OH. WELL, YOU TELL EDIE BRITT
JUST BECAUSE CARLOS DUMPED HER,

DOESN'T MEAN SHE HAS TO GO
AROUND TRASHING MY REPUTATION,

ESPECIALLY
WHENSHE'STHE SLUT.

WELL,
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM LATELY?

BOY, LET ME THINK. UH...

MM...

NO. NO, I HAVEN'T.

(cell phone rings)

(beep)

THIS IS LYONS.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

GOOD NEWS, MRS. LANG.
THEY FOUND YOUR HUSBAND.

HUH?

A COUPLE OF FISHERMEN FOUND HIM
WASHED UP ON THE BEACH.

HE'S UNCONSCIOUS
BUT IN STABLE CONDITION.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL?

WELL, WHY WOULDN'T I?

JUST LET ME GRAB MY PURSE.

WELL, YOU CAN STOP
FEELING GUILTY.

VICTOR'S ALIVE,
AND WE'RE SCREWED.

(snores)

OKAY, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

ONCE SHE SHOWS UP, YOU'LL MEET
HER AND GIVE HER THE MONEY.

THEN ASK HER
TO WALK YOU BACK TO THE CAR.

I'LL JUMP OUT, GRAB HER,
AND WHILE YOU OPEN THE TRUNK...
LYNETTE.

FINE, THE BACKSEAT, BUT YOU'RE
JUST GONNA SPOIL HER.

I SEE YOU STILL HAVE
THAT WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR.

YEAH. IT'S THE ONE GOOD THING
YOU GET FROM A CRAPPY CHILDHOOD.

YOU KNOW, I...

I ALWAYS REGRETTED
THE WAY THINGS ENDED.

WHY? MOM CHEATED ON YOU.
NO ONE BLAMES YOU FOR LEAVING.

IT WAS, UH,
MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

HEY, I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

WELL--

AH, THERE'S BOOZE-ILLA NOW.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL GO GET HER.
(door beeps)

HE BOUGHT THOSE PILLS
A LONG TIME AGO

AND NEVER GOT AROUND
TO PAYING THE GUY.

(scoffs) WOW.

JULIE, IT'S NOT LIKE
IT WAS HEROIN OR CRACK.

IT WAS JUST PAIN PILLS
FOR HIS SHOULDER,

BUT WE HAD A TALK, AND HE HAS
TOTALLY STOPPED TAKING THEM.

ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE?

YEAH.

WHY?

WELL, I WAS AT THE DRUGSTORE
THIS MORNING,

AND I SAW MIKE THERE,
PICKING UP A PRESCRIPTION.

(sighs)

HELLO, STELLA.

GLEN. WHAT THE HELL?

(taps bench)

I KNOW WE'RE THE SAME AGE.

HOW IS IT YOU LOOK SO MUCH
BETTER THAN ME?

WELL, I DON'T DRINK
OR SLEEP IN CARS.

OH, SO THAT'S YOUR SECRET.
WHO KNEW?

STELL, HERE'S THE MONEY.

THANKS, DOLL.

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL,
BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING.

YOU SON OF A BITCH.
YOU SET ME UP.

LYNETTE!

OH, CRAP!

NOW WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?

I'M OFF TO DIE IN A DITCH.
WHAT DO YOU CARE?

OKAY, ENOUGH WITH THE DRAMA.
I WANT YOU TO COME HOME WITH ME.

OH, REALLY? THAT'S NOT
WHAT YOU SAID TO LYDIA AND LUCY.

I AM SORRY ABOUT THAT, MOM.
WE WERE JUST VENTING.

PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU
NEED TO DO THAT.

I WAS NOT
A HORRIBLE MOTHER,

AND EVEN IF I WAS,

IT'S OLD NEWS,
SO DROP IT.

DROP IT?

DO YOU HEAR THAT?
SHE WANTS ME TO DROP IT.

AND WHEN SHE CHEATED ON YOU,
AND WHEN SHE WRECKED OUR FAMILY,

I BET SHE WANTED YOU
TO DROP THAT, TOO.
OKAY, GUYS--

WHAT'S DONE IS DONE,
AND IF YOU CAN'T GET OVER IT,

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN SAY
THAT'LL MAKE YOU STOP HATING ME.

THERE IS ONE THING
YOU COULD SAY.
YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

STELLA, SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN.
SHE CAN HANDLE IT.

HANDLE WHAT?

GLEN, DON'T.

LYNNIE...

I DIDN'T LEAVE YOUR MOTHER
BECAUSE SHE CHEATED ON ME.

I LEFT BECAUSE I'M GAY.

(siren wailing in distance)
MOM. YOU OKAY?

JUST A BIT DIZZY FROM HOLDING
MY BREATH IN YOUR STAIRWELL.

MAY I COME IN?

OH, I'D--I'D KIND OF
RATHER YOU NOT SEE THE PLACE

UNTIL I GET IT FIXED UP.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE
TO TAKE MY VEAL SCALOPPINI

AND GO HOME.

MMM.

(mouth full) I'VE BEEN SO BUSY
WITH MOVING, I FORGOT TO EAT.

THIS IS REALLY GOOD, MOM.

THANK YOU. YOU KNOW,
I'D MAKE IT FOR YOU EVERY DAY

IF YOU'D MOVE BACK HOME.

MOM, THIS...
THIS IS MY HOME.

SERIOUSLY, ANDREW,
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A BED.

ACTUALLY, YOU'RE SITTING ON IT.
IT'S A FOLDOUT.

OH, DEAR GOD. AT LEAST LET ME
BUY YOU SOME DECENT FURNITURE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. MOM, I'M--
I'M GONNA DO THIS ON MY OWN.

(sighs)
ANDREW, I UNDERSTAND

YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME
ABOUT WHAT I SAID, BUT...

I DO HAVE A GOOD REASON

FOR WANTING
TO RAISE BENJAMIN DIFFERENTLY.

I MEAN, LET'S BE HONEST.
YOU PUT ME THROUGH HELL.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
I-I KNOW I DID,

BUT THAT'S WHY I'M MAD.

BECAUSE I-I CHANGED,
AND YOU NEVER NOTICED.

YOU KNOW,
I-I GOT A JOB, A CAR,

MY OWN HEALTH INSURANCE.

I'VE--
I'VE TURNED THINGS AROUND.

WELL, I KNOW THAT.

THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU
SAID ANYTHING?

IT'S BECAUSE
YOU'VE BEEN SO FOCUSED

ON YOUR NEW HUSBAND
AND BABY.

OH, ANDREW.

MOM, IT'S OKAY. YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE GOT A NEW LIFE,

AND I THINK IT'S TIME
I DID, TOO.

I JUST DON'T WANT US TO PART
ON BAD TERMS AGAIN,

LIKE WE DID TWO YEARS AGO.

YOU MEAN WHEN YOU LEFT ME
ON THE SIDE OF THAT ROAD?

LOOK, MOM...

I WAS
SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL.

YOU FORCED ME TO GROW UP.

IF I HAVEN'T SAID IT
BEFORE,

THANK YOU.

YOU FORGIVE ME?

I FORGAVE YOU
A LONG TIME AGO.

YOU JUST...

YOU JUST NEVER NOTICED.

OH, UH, MOM?

UH, WOULD YOU MIND
USING A COASTER?

OKAY. NOW I...

I REALLYAMGONNA CRY.

DAVE PASSED AWAY LAST SPRING.

WE WERE TOGETHER
ALMOST 20 YEARS.

OH.

HE SEEMS NICE.

I KNOW
IT'S A LOT TO DEAL WITH.

KINDA.

SO, UH,
COFFEE'S PROBABLY READY.

UH, CREAM AND SUGAR?

SHOT OF BOURBON?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

IT WASN'T MY PROUDEST MOMENT,
LYNETTE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I FAILED AS A WOMAN.

TWO YEARS BEING MARRIED TO ME,
AND HE TURNS GAY.

I DON'T THINK
THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

ALL I KNOW IS

I WAS... SO ASHAMED.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER ANYWAY?

IT WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED
ANYTHING BETWEEN US.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

IT WOULD'VE CHANGED
EVERYTHING.

OH, Y-YOU WOULD'VE GIVEN ME
A PASS ON MY DRINKING

AND MY--MY SWEARING,
MY--MY MEN?

IF I UNDERSTOODWHYYOU COULDN'T
STAY MARRIED TO THE ONLY FATHER,

THE ONLY STABLE PARENT
I'D EVER KNOWN,

YEAH, I COULD'VE FOUND A WAY

TO FORGIVE YOU
ALL SORTS OF THINGS.

WE CAN TALK
ABOUT THIS LATER.

LET'S GO HOME.

I DON'T THINK SO.

LISTEN TO ME.

I WOULD BE HONORED IF YOU
WOULD COME AND LIVE WITH US.

HAVING YOU AROUND THESE
PAST FEW MONTHS WAS SORT OF...

FUN.

(chuckles) IT WASGREAT.

WE ACTUALLY FIGURED OUT A WAY
TO STOP TORTURING EACH OTHER.

THEN WHY NOT COME BACK?

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO SCREW THAT UP,

AND LET'S FACE IT, LYNETTE.
YOU KNOW I WOULD.

SO WHY DON'T
WE JUST TAKE OUR CHIPS

AND LEAVE THE TABLE
WINNERS?

BUT WHERE WILL YOU LIVE?

ACTUALLY, I HAVE A THOUGHT.

UH, SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO EAVESDROP,

BUT, UM...

I HAPPEN TO HAVE

AN IMMACULATELY DECORATED
GUEST ROOM.

YOU KNOW,
HE'S ALWAYS TALKED LIKE THAT.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW
YOU WERE QUEER?

(laughs)
I'M SORRY.
YOUWANTTHIS AROUND?

WELL,
WE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD TIME,

AND TO TELL THE TRUTH, I'VE BEEN
A LITTLE LONELY LATELY.

OH.

SO I WOULD BE DOING YOU
A FAVOR.

HMM.

FINE,
BUT I'M KEEPING THE MONEY.

(laughs) IT'S A DEAL.

DOES THIS WORK FOR YOU?

IT DOES.

IT REALLY DOES.

SO I'VE BEEN DOING
SOME STRETCHES,

AND THE SHOULDER FEELS GREAT.

THAT'S A RELIEF.

YOU, UH,
GONNA TAKE A SHOWER?

YEAH.

I MIGHT, UM, GO DOWN
FOR A SNACK IN A MINUTE.

OKAY.

(door shuts)

(sighs)

(water running)

(truck door shuts)

(woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

MRS. LANG?

UH, I'M DR. WHEELER,
YOUR HUSBAND'S NEUROLOGIST.

HOW IS HE?
UH, HE'S STARTING
TO WAKE UP NOW.

WOULD YOU
LIKE TO TALK TO HIM?

OF COURSE!
I-I BET HE'S PRETTY DELIRIOUS.

I MEAN, AFTER HIS ORDEAL,
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED

IF HE'S JUST BABBLING LIKE
A CRAZY PERSON!

(laughs nervously)

(Dr. Wheeler)
MR. LANG, YOUR WIFE IS HERE.

GABY. HI.

DON'T STRAIN YOURSELF,
VICTOR.

THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME
TO TALK LATER.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT NOW
IS THAT YOU REST.

JUST STAY QUIET AND REST...
QUIETLY.

MR. MAYOR,
I'M DETECTIVE BERRY.

WE NEED TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS.

WHAT TIME DID YOU
TAKE YOUR BOAT OUT?

I WAS ON THE BOAT?

WE THINK. WE FOUND IT FLOATING
IN THE BAY, AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY,

YOU'D BEEN IN THE WATER
FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

UH, THE LAST THING
I REMEMBER...

WAS FRIDAY'S STAFF MEETING.

REALLY?

I MEAN, WHAT?

GABY, DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING
ABOUT ME BEING ON THE BOAT?

NO.

NO.

SORRY.

I GUESS
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

NOT UNCOMMON
IN THESE SITUATIONS.

HE'S SUFFERED
BOTH A MILD CONCUSSION

AND HYPOTHERMIA,

EITHER OF WHICH COULD RESULT
IN MEMORY LOSS.

WELL, WHO CARES?

THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT HE'S SAFE,

AND WE'RE GONNA NURSE YOU
BACK TO HEALTH,

AND I THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN
A LOT FASTER

IF WE ALL CLEAR OUT.

THANK YOU.

GABY, CAN YOU STAY WITH ME
FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

OF COURSE.

(sighs) SOUNDS LIKE I WAS
IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE THERE.

BUT YOU'RE OKAY NOW.
THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

(whispers) COME HERE.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING.

WHAT?

I THINK IWILLREST NOW.

I'M GONNA NEED
ALL MY STRENGTH.

THE PAST
IS NEVER TRULY BEHIND US.

(reporters speaking at once)

GHOSTS LURK IN THE SHADOWS,

EAGER TO REMIND US
OF THE CHOICES WE MADE.

BUT IF WE LOOK BACK,

WE MIGHT FIND AN OLD FRIEND
WITH OPEN ARMS...

OR AN OLD ENEMY
WITH A HIDDEN AGENDA...

OR A GROWN-UP SON

WITH A FORGIVING HEART...

SADLY, SOME OF US
REFUSE TO LOOK BACK,

NEVER UNDERSTANDING
THAT BY DENYING THE PAST...

WE ARE CONDEMNED...

TO REPEAT IT.
