Lynette (Felicity Huffman) states Bree is still after Trip and Bree thinks he's an "intelligent, charming, caring man." That Scott is in real life too, one huge fan of his right here!! She hasn't met anyone like him in ages. She's sure he feels the same too, but Lynette notices him through the window, getting picked up by a blonde in a car. Mary Alice: (Brenda Strong) "After Bree was arrested she felt a range of emotions...But the one thing she didn't expect to feel was jealousy."
Mary Alice; "At the Fairview Childbirth Centre there are certain conversations you expect to hear...discussions about the magic of childbirth...but Julie Meyer (Andrea Bowen) found herself having a conversation that was rather unexpected." Susan (Teri Hatcher) can't believe Bree is on trial for murder. "Killer's don't wear aprons." That's debatable, ha. Julie wants to punch Porter (Charlie Carver) for being late and he's late for class since he's out making money. He then faints at the child birthing DVD.
Bree visits Trip at the office and finds he's out to lunch with the blonde woman. Gaby picks outfits for Bree's trials and Bree doesn't want stripes, giving the jury the wrong impression, or ruffles. Bree is innocent Gaby tells her and Trip is a brilliant lawyer, but Bree feels he's distracted. Gaby isn't worried at all but she's not the one on trial, allowing Bree to take the blame still.
Tom (Doug Savant) is heading out to Mumbai as he breaks the news to the children who don't want him to go. Jane (Andrea Parker) and Tom aren't in a good place. Lynette thinks time apart will do them good, but will be hard on the children. Tom doesn't want to be away from Lynette, who will tell him what to do? and they haven't been apart from each other for more than a month. He'll miss her.
Bree meets up with Lindsay (Brit Morgan) and asks if "part of your discretion is falling out of your bra?" Lindsay quits, she's a PI and was working for Trip. Lynette won't let Tom get on the plane and Lee (Kevin Rahm) adds she won't fit into that garish purple dress as Renee's (Vanessa Williams) bridesmaid if she keeps eating. Hey purple is my fave colour but it did nothing for that dress! Ha. Bree turns up where Lindsay is surveilling, how'd she track her down then? She apologizes for being rude and claims she's not jealous. Lindsay says Trip's a good lawyer (we get the picture by now! ha) but female clients get the wrong idea, "he's into your case, not you."
Susan tries to comfort Julie by telling her the men think the birthing DVD is like a video game when they see the blood. Mike almost passed out when he saw it too, but he always knew what to do, especially when MJ fell. There are so many memories of Mike for her here. Julie doesn't believe Porter wants to be with the baby anymore.
Lynette doesn't want Greg (Reed Diamond) to send Tom to Mumbai and she dumps him when he agrees. Bree can't sleep, neither can Susan or Lynette. They take a walk and have't been out so late since they buried Alejandro. If only they could go back. Gaby comes out cos she saw them walking but was asleep. She knows Bree will be fine cos she's innocent and as the saying goes, innocent people have been convicted for less, thought I'd add that. Susan was thinking Gaby should tell the truth and so was Lynette. Gaby still thinks all will be back to normal if they just hold on longer. They're mad at Gaby cos Lynette says if Gaby cares about Bree being convicted then she'd not be sleeping now either.
Bree is polishing the silver and Trip comes over with donuts and a Casablanca DVD. He hasn't seen the film when Bree mentions "of all the gin joints in all the world you had to walk into mine..." so he doesn't know what that means. Funny Sam would have known what it means in Quantum Leap!! Ha. Wouldn't Bree have anything already baked, would have thought she'd be in the kitchen, not polishing if she couldn't sleep. It's Bree's fave movie, mine too.
Prosecutor Stone (Christina Chang) asks how well they know their neighbours? They have secrets, like Bree does and can poison Wisteria Lane. Trip replies that she knows her neighbours and they're honest, have integrity and compassion. Stone describes Bree as a woman of loose morals. Trip responds if it's criminal to pick up people, there are one or two in the courtroom who is guilty of picking up in bars, pointing to himself. Bree made questionable choices which doesn't make her a killer but human like them. Stone adds secrets like bodies don't stay buried.
Susan sees Porter to help Julie, he's making money for her and the baby and he needs to find his own life right now. So Susan wants to leave with Julie and help her. It will be good for her to move. Greg takes his anger over Lynette dumping him out in the office, calling her a real piece of work and a psycho. She's hung up on another man. Tom punches him over this and gets fired.
Susan is called to the stand and has known Bree nearly 20 years. Lynette says they're like sisters. Gaby talks about the progressive dinner party and Susan wasn't with Bree the entire time. She went home to check on her course and Lynette says she had sex with her boyfriend. Gaby says she stayed with the others to help her clear up until 2. TOD was between 10 and midnight. Susan adds Bree didn't kill Ramon and Gaby concurs.
Jane asks Tom why he didn't like his boss, cos he was dating Lynette? Tom still loves Lynette. Stone shows Bree photos of all those men she was with. She admitted her transgressions and didn't kill Ramon. Stone says Bree has a clear conscience and rebuts this by introducing her suicide note into evidence. Chuck was killed in a hit and run later and she reads out the letter, "...can't go on living with a secret." Bree was in a dark place when she wrote that. Trip believes her and hopes the jury does too.
Lynette is trying to control Tom's life as she laments to Lee. That dress is horrible and if Lynette tells Renee, she'll just pick another one. She did that with Tom all the time and maybe she's just unhappy. Lee helped her get out of her dress and Tom sees them through the window. Juanita (Madison De la Garza) and Celia (Daniella Baltodano) break Gaby's grandmother's vase and Juanita was going to let Celia takl the blame "for something you did...own up to it. Don't you see how bad..." Gaby realizes she has to do the same. Trip gets the file on Alejandro and Bree tells him they all made a pact. He asks if she cares enough to lie for them cos she'll end up in jail. The jury think she's hiding something and she is. She wants him to win this case. Bree posits it won't work without her betraying her friend. Trip says it's her only way out, to tell the truth about Gaby.
Mary Alice: "Yes...recent events in the lives of my friends had stirred up intense emotions, excitement about starting a new chapter, guilt over causing another's pain, disappointment in a failure to change. Then there are those who are asked to put all emotion aside in order to make a cold hearted decision." Gaby brings a scarf for Bree, she's sacrificing herself (now she can hang herself with the scarf, sorry). Gaby insists she's a better person than Gaby could be. Well Bree is a better person since it was all Gaby's fault to begin with for not coming clean in the first place. Of course then there'd be no story!
The title is yet another song from a Stephen Sondheim musical All That Glitters. Surely Chuck Vance died on the Valentine's Day ep so he couldn't have bee killed in May. Also how did the coroner manage to determine TOD since Alejandro was buried for months, let alone the date of his death. Bloops writers!!
Tom and Lynette let's face it will always be a couple. How could Tom not know that was Lee from behind. and it was always doubtful Porter and Julie would be able to bring up their baby together. Gaby realizing she has to do the right thing but still doesn't come clean and own up but buys Bree a scarf instead! My scarf comment I've already made!
