Mary Alice: "It's always easy to know who our friends are...when we're deluding ourselves - but the best of friends will tell you the truth even when they know it will upset you." Bree (Marcia Cross) shows the note to Lynette (Felicity Huffman) and Gaby (Eva Longoria). Gaby asks why someone would kill for them. Susan isn't here and so can't be pencilled in with the news. She'll accuse them of keeping yet another secret from her. Then she's keeping one from them too. Lynette says they're still angry about each other. Gaby implies Bree knows about the letters and the link between them and Lynette agrees. Bree doesn't believe this is about her. Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) "Yes, only your friends will tell you the truth, so when they warn you about someone suspicious; maybe you should listen to them." Someone watches Bree.
Mary Alice: "Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher) was on a mission and planned it down to the last detail, the right ID, plenty of cash...the small detail she hadn't planned was what to do when she got there." Susan calls Mike (James Denton) cos she doesn't know how to get into the house. Renee (Vanessa Williams) calls on Ben (Charles Mesure) and she misses him. That's unusual cos she never misses people. Renee tells Bree Ben will never be "down under again." Another of her sexual references. Renee thinks her friends suggested botox to Bree and that's why she's drinking.
Gaby and Lynette forgive each other and decide to stay angry at Bree. Renee suggests taking Bree to a 'naughty place' (that had connotations of its own as far as Renee's mind is concerned!) and she reluctantly agrees. Bree just can't stop drinking maybe she should try rehab.. Marilyn (Jayne Entwhistle) brings by Carlo's mail and Gaby rakes the leaves over to her neighbour's lawn. He can't make it to the meeting to land a major client. Connie (Edie McClurg) [remember her from Valerie and the Hogan Family: the busy body neighbour] tells Susan Claudia Sanchez's husband disappeared so she's selling the house. He has a step child. Susan wants to help by buying Claudia's (Justina Machado) Lego pieces. Marissa (Daniela Bobadilla) the step daughter is being abused just like Gaby was, it's obvious by the look on her face. Susan buying them off with money as if that will ease her guilt.
Lynette decides to change the wiring in the house for herself and why doesn't she know where Tom keeps the flashlights. Mike hasn't got any money and hasn't been paid and Susan's off squandering money. Gaby needs needs Lynette's help with the meeting and maybe she should have just taken Lynette with her. She wants Lynette to teach her. Bree hates the "dive" Renee's taken her to and refers to Renee's assets as "Brontee sisters." Ah there were three of them, not two! Gaby overdoes the use of "fiduciary" and even Penny (Darcy Rose Byrnes) knows what it means. Lynette thinks Gaby should apply herself instead of using her looks and charms, which she's done "for as long as I've known you."
Bree talks to a man, Bradley (Rick Peters) who claims was at his reunion and he was "about to blow my brains out." What a thing to say especially as Bree was just doing the same last episode. Susan talks with Marissa telling her she's got nothing to worry about cos Alejandro won't be back, ever. Bree decides to swim naked in the pool with a complete stranger. She's way out of her comfort zone. He's caught by his boss and he's just his assistant. In fact, the pants on him weren't even his.
Ben is stopped from taking a loan from a loan shark (Sal Landi) by Mike, who will remember his name. Now that's another enemy Mike has so it increasingly looks like he'll be the one killed off. Well I have to say it again. Ben will never be able to pay him back and later when they share a drink together, Mike tells him about Renee's divorce settlement of $12 million. Gaby uses big words at the dinner with the use of her trusty menu, which is given back to the waiter. Oh those fake Brit accents were so irritating.
Lynette tells the kids she needs to learn this stuff cos Tom won't be back. Ben comes over to wine and dine Renee by sweet talking her. Renee knows he's sorry cos the wine is expensive...he's more interested in her now cos he can get money from her. Lynette apologizes to Gaby, she's forever lectured Tom and now she misses him, as does Gaby miss Carlos. Gaby thinks Lynette is right she can't use her looks anymore. Lynette asks cos she's "getting older." Gaby replies cos Carlos isn't here. They have each other and keep touching each other's hands. Also reminded me of last season when Carlos told Gaby to stay away from Bree and she did exactly the opposite, turning up in places like the two of them were having a secret affair.
Susan returns home, "I think this whole Alejandro nightmare is finally over." She spoke too soon. Marissa suggests Claudia sell his bike since he won't be back. Yes Susan give her a cheque with an address on it. Who writes addresses on cheques anyway, they have the bank address, not home address? Renee thinks Ben enjoyed himself.
Mary Alice: "Yes good friends will tell you the truth...even when the truth might be something we're reluctant to hear...we still have a great deal to learn...need to ask for help..we may be overlooking a golden opportunity. Hearing the truth can often set us on another path but we never know where that path might take us or who might be watching."
I think Orson's watching Bree. I just have this feeling. Mind you it could be Rex, know I've said that before, come to think of it, let's just throw her entire family into the mix. Susan just goes on repeating the same mistakes she's always made in the past and hasn't developed as a character a great deal. Going round telling things to complete strangers which could get her and her friends into strife, hasn't she learned anything from Vance and that entire fiasco? As long as she gets a bee in her bonnet and attempts to appease herself, that's all that matters. What happened to Gaby and the account? Think she probably lost it which is why she's so readily forgiving of Lynette, who is her usual self-controlling self. Any wonder Tom saw sense and left.
In 1.15 Impossible, Susan caught Andrew and Justin in the pool. Here Bradley is caught by his boss. Bree's morality was abundant in this early episode, also here she just loses the plot. Though she wasn't perfect in the past, don't think even Bree realizes what she's doing and how far she's unravelled as the person she once was.
In contrast to this season, in 1.15 again, the women decided to call the police regarding Martha's murder as they didn't want to withhold evidence. Here they just covered up Alejandro's death. Also in this episode Susan broke up with Mike after she found out the extent of his lies and what he had really done. Just thought I'd mention it here for future reference, though I could be wrong with what's to befall them. Not a patch on last week's episode which was more entertaining.
