[edit] Plot
On a visit to Rex's grave, Bree is horrified to discover that they've dug up his body. Her mother-in-law Phyllis has "forgotten" to tell her about the insurance investigator's suspicions that Rex was poisoned. Bree promptly packs Phyllis's bags and sends her off in a taxi -- and then insists on taking a polygraph test to clear herself of all suspicion. But when they ask her if she loves George, the readout spikes. She tells George that he has to take a polygraph test too, because now they suspect the two of them of conspiring to poison Rex. When he asks why she didn't pass her test, she admits she might have feelings for him after all. George agrees -- and aces his test by telling lies so convincing that the detector shows he even believes them himself.
Carlos tells Gabrielle she's never really apologized for her affair and she throws in his face how much John said he loved her. On a nostalgic impulse, she follows John to his new job and is horrified to see him disappearing inside with the woman whose lawn he's cutting. After seeing them kissing, she grabs an electric hedge trimmer and destroys the woman's rose bushes. When John confronts her, she admits she did it, and asks how he can be with someone new if he still loves her. He says he'll dump the other woman if she wants him back but she reluctantly says no, it's better this way. At last she can go back to Carlos and tell him she is truly sorry. Carlos tells her it's the best anniversary present she ever gave him. And she tells him that his - an Aston Martin she purchased for herself without his knowing - is the best present he's ever given her.
Lynette's new boss, Nina, says no when she asks to take the morning off to bring Parker to school for his first day. So Lynette rigs up a remote camera so she can be there -- only she keeps getting called away to meetings. She maneuvers a piping hot mug of coffee so that it spills in Nina's lap, canceling the meeting. She's then free to talk Parker through his first day.
Mike goes to see how Felicia is doing and asks if she knows where he might be able to find Zach. She says that after he beat her and pushed her down the stairs, she's a little less interested in his well being. She's also disappointed to hear that he didn't end up killing Paul and warns he'll be back looking for Zach himself.
Susan is furious to find out that Edie is going to accompany Julie on guitar in a church family talent show. She goes to Betty for help in brushing up her piano playing skills, but she catches her at a bad time, just as their mysterious prisoner in the basement has gotten free and had to be forcibly subdued. Betty refuses to help or let her in and explains the red stains on her shirt are because she was making a cherry pie.
[edit] Quotes
- Bree: (About Phyllis) She is my mother in law, of course she said horrible stuff about me.
- Bree: You want a statement? Fine, I'll give you a statement! My husband died of a heart attack, I loved him very deeply, and your mother did a lousy job!
- Gabrielle: You forgot our anniversary!? How could you forget our anniversary when you sit in a cell all day looking at a calendar?
- Nina: Ok, but how about the people that don't have the kids? Maybe they want to go see a play, or come in late after a crazy night out. Or maybe they just wanna get a haircut, which I myself haven't been able to do for two months. So no, this is about fairness to those who are childless by choice, ok?
Lynette: Ok. Good point. And sorry about the hair. I can see why you're upset. - (After Mike questions Felicia about Zach's whereabouts)
Felicia: I'm sorry, but after he beat me and threw me down the stairs, we don't stay in touch like we should anymore. - Bree: (To Danielle and Andrew) Will you two stop looking at me like that? Obviously I did not kill your father!
- Susan: Hey guys. I tried knocking but I guess you didn't hear me.
Edie: Oh we heard you, we were just hoping that whoever it was would go away. I'm still wanting that to happen. - Edie: Remember,it's church. They will be judging you.
- Susan: (In church) I'm just gonna need a few seconds, so feel free to pray!
- George: (Surprised as Bree approaches his desk at the pharmacy) Bree, hi, what can I do for you?
Bree: Well, for starters, you can help me prove to the police that we didn't conspire to kill my husband!
George: (stunned and confused) O'...k.
