Mary Alice: "Bree Van de Kamp had always enjoyed a sterling reputation...kind to strangers and for greeting them with a warm welcome...never had the heart to turn anyone away...her generosity knew no bounds." Bree (Marcia Cross) tells her latest conquest to leave, as she's clearly out of control when it comes to men. The alarm rings so that Karen (Kathryn Joosten) doesn't see them leaving her house. Bree isn't in a relationship with anyone. Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) "Yes Bree had always enjoyed a sterling reputation and she saw no reason that should change."
Mary Alice: "In the life of every housewife there comes a time for renovation...when a romantic evening becomes an unsightly mess - sometimes the only thing that needs to be removed is a memory." Gaby (Eva Longoria) wants her place redecorated by Renee (Vanessa Williams) and Lynette (Felicity Huffman), especially the room where Alejandro carked it. Lynette has other ideas in wanting them to set her up on a date. Gaby responds it's a challenge setting her up. Lynette feels someone must like her qualities. Renee thinks Lynette always wins and gets her own way cos she's so feisty.
Bree finds a man still in her bed when Karen comes over wanting help with the bake sale. Karen sees the man. So much for Bree trying to hide him, and she saw the others too, as well as the empty wine bottle. Ben (Charles Mesure) is getting rid of his fave stuffed swordfish for Renee. Claudia (Justina Machado) arrives in search of Alejandro/Ramon.
Renee confirms her appointment with Frank, (Patrick Fabian) her hair dresser, who likes Lynette's hair. Lynette wants a date with him. Claudia plasters missing posters of Alejandro everywhere on the Lane and in the papers, which Gaby sees. Susan (Teri Hatcher) tells her what she did in Oklahoma and Gaby asks when her guilt will end. Susan saw that look in Marissa's (Daniela Bobadilla) eyes that she's seen in Gaby eyes before. Marissa hasn't told anyone and Gaby thinks she should just talk about it. She agrees to talk to Claudia. "The one woman who's gonna tell her the truth about her husband."
Frank's ex wanted things her own way like Lynette. She wants to help Frank as a motivational technique she just can't help herself. Rev Sikes (Dakin Matthews) finds Bree at a bar cos Karen blabbed, well she had her best interests at heart or was it just the bake sale she was worried about? Rev doesn't believe Bree's behaviour is representative of who she really is. Bree says she'll find out who she is in a bar.
Lynette works out a business pan for Frank. Next day he messes up Renee's hair cos of Lynette. She looks like an "extra from Foxy Brown." Ben proposes to Renee. She opens up not trusting anyone until he came along. He sees sense and takes the ring back, admitting he wanted to marry her for the money but she doesn't wait to hear him say he loves her.
Marissa hasn't told anyone about being abused by Alejandro and Gaby tells Claudia about him. Take it Renee's moved out of Bree's place then, obviously so Bree could bring men over. Lynette knows Renee was right about her and Renee is determined Lynette can do anything she wants. Ben meets with the loan shark (Sal Landi) who finds out where Mike (James Denton) lives, so we know what's coming next...
Claudia decides to leave and Gaby tells her about her own mother not believing her and she sees the red stain on the carpet again. She advises Gaby should get rid of it, so she knows about him.
Bree bakes and drinks and makes a nuisance of herself at the sale especially when she finds out Greg (Cameron Mathison) is married and his wife confronts her. Bree: "Every bake sale needs a tart." She's really let herself go and for what? There's no one around to see her falling to pieces and her friends don't want to know her. Thus the cavalry will arrive with Orson no doubt. Also so much for the wife calling her a whore, what about her letting her husband get away with sleeping around! Yeah well the man never gets the blame for such things. It's always the woman's fault oh sorry was I ranting.
Mary Alice: "Yes in the life of every housewife there comes a time for renovation...she may be doing away with an unpleasant memory...but no matter how a housewife may embrace the life she's making, the people in her street, may take a different view." So Bree decides to act like the street whore now in public. Bree's storyline just gets recycled over. She has been on the drinking binge, going after men bender before and quite frankly it's getting old. Hard to believe Claudia accepted what happened to Alejandro so easily, even if he was an abuser. She doesn't seem like the type to just back down. Though Gaby saw sense and told her the truth for Marissa's sake.
Lynette was just Lynette. Can't imagine her changing for anyone, she didn't even try when she was on the date and it was played for laughs that scene. Yes but it is the series finale after all, so they could have had her making an effort. Renee finally didn't want anything more to do with Ben when he came clean about wanting money. He could have asked her for a loan without proposing but now she doesn't even want to hear him out. At least she didn't stay with him just cos of wanting/needing a man - as she would have done last season. So she's come some way in changing. Susan still remains dormant Susan. Still guilt ridden. Next thing you know she'll feel guilty over bringing Claudia down and her finding out Marissa suffered the same way Gaby did.
Bree becoming the very thing at the end of the episode that she despised at the start: people seeing her as a drunken whore and her criticizing Greg's wife over her "dry muffins" was a gem. It was an appropriate episode title for for Bree. What's the point of being good, if you're gonna get found out? This applies to Bree. Also Ben admitting he wants Renee's money when he ended up losing her.
On the downside Lynette's awful Brit accent! Susan being seen as a husband stealing skank again, as in the episode That's Good, That's Bad, where Carol Prudy thought she was with her husband, Addison, who was actually Susan's birth father.
