The show starts with Mary Alice telling us that Bree is known as the perfect hostess (as she is hosting a party at her place), she knows how to take care of guests, serve dinner promptly, pass liquor freely and her anecdotes are enjoyable. But to look out when there are imperfect predicaments and we are brought to George singing outside her place, she runs out to see what he's doing, he says he wants to make things right, she said they broke up. Bree goes back in the house, gets a gun from under her bed, loads it and fires a shot out the window in George's direction. (it missed him)

(Mary Alice's voice then says "Bree knows how to take care of her guests, especially those who weren't invited")

(Mary Alice also said kids distinguish good guys as the ones in white hats and bad guys in black, showing 2 kids playing)

George begs Bree for a second chance. She went to see Dr.Goldfein in the hospital to ask his opinion. He tells her there is good in everyone, even the man on the blue bkie who through him off the bridge. Bree puts 2 and 2 together and knows it was George who did it.
George headed home with grocery bags and sees cops at his place, going through all his things. He calls Bree and she tells him to turn himself in and get the help he needs. He runs off.

Bree was one of those in charge at a hotel party. George was up in a room, called up a hotel worker, gave him a aletter to give to Bree which said he was going to overdose on pills upstairs etc...

Bree calls the detective who has worked with her on Rex's death to talk about George and he tells her they have concluded that George is responsible for Rex's death and tells her about the pills.

*we see George taking pills a few at a time*

Bree gets in the elevator and she was in shock and she breaks down. She stops the elevator and just remains in shock...great scenes.

George OD'd on pills , wakes up feeling ill, calls hotel operator to call the ambulance but then there was a knock at the door and he tells them never mind.
Bree walks in the room and asks what he was thinking taking the pills. He asks her to call the ambulance, and remain friends with him so he has something to live for.

She tells him she can't call the ambulance until he admits what he's done, he said he didn't throw Dr.Goldfein off the bridgr, she said "yes you did, but that's not what I'm talking about" "you killed Rex, be honest and I'll forgive you"
George says to call the ambulance, she tells him to admit what he's done.

He tells her he loves her and he did it, that she wanted him to. he passes out a bit, wakes back up and says to call the ambulance, she said "I did while you were sleeping"  Bree!

Lynette went to Stu's house to convince him to go to the big boss and tell him about Nina and said he can sue for sexual harrassment. Tells him to ask Ed to give him back his job and he won't sur for millions. Ed said o.k.
The next day Lynette sees everything is chaotic at work. Ed fired Nina and made Lynette VP of accounts.Told her that Ed is suing them for everything and he can't afford any other staff members so it'll just be him and Lynette. Nina in hall and congratulates Lynette, tells her how hectic working for a disorgabized boss is and that she can kiss her 4 kids goodbye seeing she'll always be at work.

Mary Alice then tells us
It's not always that easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys

Sinners can surprise you and the same is true for saints

-we see sister Mary putting out a candle

why do we try to define people as simply good or simply evil?

-Nina teary eyed

because no-one wants to admit that compassion and cruelty can live side by side in 1 heart

Susan's dad with his wife

-shows us Bree fixing the chair in the hotel room
