Desperate Housewives

Previously on desperate housewives.

Dylan and katherine raised their profile

And attracted the attention of an unwanted admirer.

Mike made a surprising request...

do you think you can forgive me?

Which brought orson's guilt to the surface.

- I'm sorry, mike. - Oh, you're sleepwalking.

I'm sorry i ran you over, mike.

Gaby was learning to deal with carlos being blind...

i'm sorry for what i'm putting you through.

If it for anyone but you, it wouldn't be worth it.

And lynette worried...

it's rick's place-- Totally went up in flames.

That jealousy could drive tom to an act of violence.

The thing you have to know about lynette scavo

Is that she had always trusted her husband tom,

Mostly because she could always tell when he was lying.

Sometimes he would ask her to repeat the question...

Did i eat... your ice cream? Is that what you're asking?

Or he would use odd words he had never used before...

oh, i think it looks...

spiffy.

Or his voice would get higher...

I guess she's pretty. I mean...

i didn't really notice.

Clearly, tom scavo was at a distinct disadvantage

When lying to his wife.

And on this particular morning,

That's exactly what lynette...

was unting on.

Whatcha doing?

I am onesing for a cup of coffee,

But the stupid burner is acting up again.

Need a little caffeine fix?

Big-Time.

Too much booze last night. I'm really draggin'.

The open bar is no longer your friend, huh?

Guess not.

But they were pouring top-Shelf stuff,

And i couldn't resist.

Is that where you were during bree's acceptance speech--

Doing free shots at the bar?

No. Uh,

I think that's when i snuck out to the car to listen to the game.

- You go alone? - Well,

I would've invited carlos, except...

obviously, he can't really sneak around anymore, so...

yeah.

I was thinkin',

If anyone asks about that fire at rick's,

It'd be good if you had someone to account for where you were.

Why would it matter? I didn't start the fire.

Right, right.

It's just... if anyone thinks you did,

It'd be handy if y could prove them wrong, wouldn't it?

You think i did it.

No.

One stupid brick, and now i'm an arsonist?

No, no. Of course not. It's just,

If the police came here to ask us about the brick,

They're probably gonna ask us about the fire,

So you might wanna be ready.

Listen to me, lynette.

As mad as i have been at rick,

I had absolutely nothing to do with this fire.

We're fine.

Okay.

- Good. - Uh-Huh.

Lynette scavo had always trusted her husband.

She had no idea that trust...

was about to go up in flames.

Everyone breaks the rules now and again,

And when they do, they always have an excuse...

like the neighbor whose own trash was already full...

or the blonde who forgot to eat her breakfast...

or the employee who needed an advance on his salary...

it's true--

Everyone has a reason for not following the rules...

even the people who are meant to enforce them.

Cense and registration, please.

Well, what did i do? I wasn't speeding.

There's a construction zone back there. You failed to slow down.

Are you sure? I didn't see a sign or anything.

You wanna step out of the car, please?

You're not gonna give me a ticket, are you?

My mom will kill me.

Where do you go to school?

Fairview high.

Pretty necklace.

Oh, thanks.

Listen, i'm really sorry about the construction zone.

I would have slowed down if i had seen the sign, i swear.

I'll tell you what.

I'll let you go with a warning.

Just pay more attention next time, okay?

Thank you. That's very nice of you. Thank you.

That's everything, i guess.

Well, if you forgot something, you can just come back for it,

Or... you could just not leave.

Oh, that's so sweet, but...

our house is livable again--

The downstairs anyway--

And we have imposed long enough.

Besides, mike is comingome tonight,

And you're gonna need the house to yourselves.

Well, before you go, i just want to say that, um...

having you here these last few weeks--

Susan, i'm just going across the street.

There's no need to act like a silent movie heroine.

I know.

I just... i can't stop now.

I broke the seal.

Well, um, as much as i appreciate

This naked display of emotion,

You know how this sort of thing makes me uncomfortable.

I can't help it.

My hormones are in overdrive.

Didn't you get that way when you were pregnant?

No. Never.

Really? Not even when you heard an acoustic guitar?

No. Never.

Oh, i just can't control myself like that.

Oh, sure, you can.

Whenever i feel my emotions getting the best of me,

I simply picture an empty box,

And i take whatever i'm feeling and put that in the box,

And then i picture myself putting the box away

In a big, empty closet and closing the door.

Then if i have time, i go back

And open the box and

Deal with the emotion...

in private, like a lady.

Thanks.

I'm gonna try that.

So you don't think i act like a lady?

Prove me wrong, sweetie.

Prove me wrong.

All right.

Come on, girl.

Okay, carlos, here's the harness.

There you are!

Oh, you must be roxy!

Aren't you the cutest thing! Oh!

Okay, not too close. It's silk.

Gaby, this is steve. He's the head trainer at the dog school.

Ah, nice to meet you.

How much he enjoyed taking classes with roxy.

Well, they make a great team.

Well, i have got a million questions about this little lifesaver here.

Okay, shoot.

Okay, hypothetical situation--

Carlos and i are sitting on the couch.

I'm doing my nails. He's whining for the remote.

How do i get roxy to fetch it for him?

She's serious.

Oh.

Roxy doesn't do that.

Um, her job is to get carlos from point "a" to point "b"

As safely as possible.

I get that, but surely she's trained to do other stuff,

You know, like find his keys or turn off the radio

Or lick up his spills.

Yeah, and after that, she can go solve crimes with shaggy and the gang.

Don't ve me i saw a collie on tv who could push a lawn mower.

Do you have one of those? Gaby, roxy's fantastic.

Really? Well, for a dog who's supposed to help us,

She sounds kind of limited.

Sorry, but it's true.

She's not here to help us. She's here to help me,

Which you would know if you had bothered to show up to the spouses' orientation.

Well, i'm sorry. I was on my hands and knees that day,

Scouring the bathroom floor

Because you fused to pee like a girl.

So...

any other questions?

No, it's crystal clear.

Carlos gets a new best friend,

And i get to check the sofa for ticks.

Yay for gaby!

Did i exaggerate?

Actually, you were kin

Oh, it feels good to take a shower in my own house.

At you doing?

In honor of you coming home, we are making your favorite meal--

Steak and mashed potatoes.

Oh, that sounds great. For future reference,

My favorite is potatoes au gratin. Mmm.

Since when?

Since always. Since i was 3. Hmm.

You could say "au gratin" when you were 3?

Oh, it's fine. Susan, mashed is great, too.

It's not your favorite?

What are you doing? Excuse me.

I have to put something in a box and stick it in the closet.

Hormones.

Oh. Got it.

Pretty much anything sets her off these days.

Uh, which is why
