Mary Alice: "No matter what the circumstances Bree Van de Kamp always found a way to stay in control...curved her impulses, maintained a strong moral centre - so when it came to handling a crisis - it made perfect sense that she was in the driving seat." Gaby (Eva Longoria) says they'll end up in prison, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) will start a gang, Bree (Marcia Cross) will cook and she'll be the shortest one there. Gaby then thinks of the note. Bree takes deep breathes and suggests the answers are in front of them. Bree mentions Susan (Teri Hatcher). Gaby says she's crazy. Lynette doesn't think Susan would have moved the body and calls her 'Cuckoo', so they can imagine what she would do if she knew Alejandro was missing. They leave it to Bree.
Mary Alice (Brenda strong) "When it came to a crisis everyone was happy to have Bree in the driver seat even if Bree preferred to be a passenger."
Mary Alice: "As a mother of five, Lynette Scavo was used to uncomfortable questions" like being caught eating Santa's cookies, "after five children Lynette thought she'd heard it all, until there was one question she never saw coming." Penny (Darcy Rose Byrnes) asks if Tom (Doug Savant) and Jane (Andrea Parker) are getting married. Lynette replies that's like Renee (Vanessa Williams) getting married. Renee says they're not getting married until Lynette makes more money. They're both taking Penny to see Wicked and Jane and Penny have their hair plaited the same as Jane taught her. Renee tells Lynette Jane must have a nickname for her, "doormat." Renee suggests she should fight dirty and Lynette went to school with Renee.
Andre (Miguel Ferrer) is conducing a portfolio review. He doesn't want bowls of fruit, portraits of children. Susan thinks he looked in her portfolio. As a former teacher she says his style is not the way to motivate people. She never surprises Andre. His pet is Amy (Becky Wu) and she bleeds.
Juanita (Madison De la Garza) wants Gaby to rent the cabin for the Spring. They'll worry about that later, maybe in jail she mutters. Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira) tells her it's been two months and nothing's happened yet so they'll be fine. Susan is the girl's guardian and Gaby comments she'll be her roommate in jail. She thinks Lee (Kevin Rahm) and Bob (Tuc Watkins) will make good guardians.
Lynette looks at Penny's photos in the babybook, they were a family. Things are different now cos of Jane. Penny wants to stay with her after Lynette tells her how Jane is stealing her. Bree goes to tell Susan about the missing body and she tells her she can't get that voice out of her head, taking about Andre. Bree asks if Susan digs things up. Mike (James Denton) comes home and tells her they had to close the project down cos something happened at the site.
Lee can't recall Celia's (Daniella Baltodano) name and they already have Susan as guardian. Gaby calls her racist. Carlos is having problems with who the girls go to and Lee calls them "monsters." Gaby invites them to dinner to see how they behave. Gaby tells the girls she has nine hours to teach them how to behave, well she had many more years than that! Juanita asks what salad is. Tom has left messages for Penny who isn't coming over. Tom decides to see Penny alone. Lynette tells him he made "his bed with someone else."
Ben (Charles Mesure) tells Bree his men found a body in the park, it's in the storage shed. She hints about what he should do with the body and realizes there's no way out as he wants to call the police. Ben finds Bree by the grave and she tells him about Alejandro, so much for Susan blabbing to strangers. Ben can't hide it.
At dinner, Gaby bribes Juanita with money and Celia with sweets. Juanita likes musicals. Susan can't paint and she sees Amy at Andre's place. He tells Susan she's getting the best grade in class. To Susan that won't mean anything if he lies. He tells her that her fear is holding her back and she shouldn't come to his class anymore. When Bob and Lee leave, Carlos closes the garage door which reads, "gays are stupid." Couldn't Carlos open the door back. Juanita is sad as she thinks Carlos is dying. Gaby promises nothing's wrong and they'll rent the cabin.
Renee and Lynette see Tom alone at the park and Renee says he looks like a "lonesome" to me. Penny doesn't come. Lynette realizes she's breaking up her family on her own. Oh finally, she was the one who started all this, not to mention she still can't find a way to ensure Penny isn't caught in the middle.
Vance (Jonathan Cake) scares Bree and is working on a missing person case. She doesn't recognize Alejandro but he reminds her they passed him on the Lane when Gaby had the dinner party. He talks about micro expressions passing across a person's face (what is he Cal (Tim Roth) from Lie to Me now?) This is what police look at and she's stressing out and has lines across her forehead. He knows Bree is lying from personal experience. Right he has to go now and Ben will be the suspect since he rescues Bree from him. Ben tells her there's no case without a body. One day he may need something from her (well that was cryptic and suspicious).
Penny doesn't want to leave them for Jane. Tom left her and not Penny. She thinks Lynette is prettier and plays ball with Tom. Ben asks Mike to bury the body, talk about getting the entire Lane involved as accessories, well practically. Mike agrees to take care of it. He tells Susan and she storms over ranting they kept it from her. Susan was already feeling guilty so they wanted to protect her. Gaby calls her a loose cannon and Susan reminds her Carlos told Mike, she didn't. Gaby blabs about the letter. Bree knows Susan wouldn't handle the letter. Susan is angry they weren't meant to be keeping all the secrets from each other. Lynette agrees with Susan and asks what their excuse was for not telling her about the letter. She can't count on them.
Susan paints as Mike buries the body. Mary Alice: "Yes, we're all seeking control over something in our lives. We may want to cover up... the remains of a troubling set - erase the mistake of our children. Sometimes the only way we can truly change our lives is by letting go completely no matter what the cost."
Lynette getting emotional and finally crying when she realizes she may lose Tom for good his time round. She takes it hard especially as her scheming comes undone when she tries to keep Penny from going over to Tom's cos of Jane. Usually she always got everything her own way and this time she knows what she's doing with Penny and keeping her from her father is wrong. On the contrary Tom sat there at the park without calling to find what had happened and didn't even notice Lynette's car out there twice! Not to mention the way Lynette drove there first time round to check up on them. Did she think Jane would tag along?
Reminded me of that scene from Grease after the race when Danny finally spots Sandy and sees her leave and he knows it's doomed and he'll never have her, til she transforms into her leathers. Not the same thing of course, since Tom didn't notice Lynette and was oblivious to her being there, but it was the same for Lynette and for the first time since they separated she feels there's nothing she can do to get him back. At least not until tomorrow, cos tomorrow is another day and another episode. Well next week.
Great to see their friendships built up over the years finally crumbling under the secrets and strain. They started of the season making a pact and end up breaking their pact. Renee may have a few words to say to Lynette keeping Alejandro a secret when she finds out, eventually she must. They're best friends, also Lynette leaving them in the lurch - she has Renee to fall back on. Loved the way they were all meant to be together but ended up taking sides: Bree and Gaby, then Bree, Gaby and Lynette,finally leaving Lynette agreeing with Susan. Susan painting and expressing her emotions finally, since she was lost for words, for once, ha. One way to let the secret out for the world to see! So what next?
The slur on the garage door was something similar to 10.2 Coming Home. Where Susan found the word "whore" on her garage door. Also in this episode Susan tells Bree she's glad George is dead and yet she was going ballistic over Alejandro being dead and having to bury him. Lynette's line from this episode, to the receptionist, "I'm holding the baby hostage" in another attempt to manipulate as she's manipulated Penny in this episode to get her own way. Also Andrew threatened to destroy Bree when she slips up one day. Just thinking out loud here as to possible suspects about the letter, but then they did make up so...
Then Mike burying the body or should I say re-burying was also similar to Paul in the Pilot when he dug up Deidre from the pool.
