Edie, would you like to join us for dinner?
Oh, that's so sweet.

No, I don't want to intrude. Three's a crowd.

No, it's not like that. I mean, Susan's bringing Julie.

Yeah, it's not like that.

The more, the merrier.

- Well, this will be fun.- All right.

- Tomorrow night.We'll eat at 6:00.- Great.

Oh, and, Susan...- Yeah.

This will make up for the dinner that you never threw me.

Right. Ha ha.

Should I have told her we were having steak?

She's not, like, a vegetarian or something, is she?

Oh, no, no.

No, edie's definitely a carnivore.

Here's, um...

Here's what I pulled for Edie.

I should warn you that most of the clothes in there aren't that stylish.

Oh, don't worry about it. Edie's a beggar now,

which means she can'be a chooser.

Of course, we don't have to add salt to the wound.

Listen, I was just getting dinner ready.

Say no more.

- I'll get out of your hair.- No, no.

By the way, was that you I saw getting pulled over by a policeman?

Yeah, the boys were acting up in the car,

and I couldn't get them to sit down.

Young boys can be so willful.

I try everything.

I scream, I threaten, I reason, I beg. Nothing works.

I don't know if it's because they're too young and they don't understand,

or if they're just getting some perverse joy out of testing me.

My mother used to have the worst time with me in the car,

so one time when I was acting up, she stopped

and left me on the side of the road, and she drove off.

You're kidding.

Oh, she came back immediately,

but I never misbehaved in the car again.

You should try that.

Mrs. Huber, I could never leave my kids by the side of the road.

When it comes to discipline, sometimes you must be creative.

My mother knew that. Smart lady.

Of course, she's in a home now,

and her mind has just turned to mush.

Well, like I said, I should go back and get dinner ready.

Oh, right, right.

- Goodbye.- Goodbye.

Susan, have you been able to find old clothes for Edie?

She has nothing to wear.

I thought that was the look she was going for.

Oh, Susan.

Edie may be trash, but she's still a human being.

Zach? Is your dad home?

I need to talk to him.

- Hey, Paul.- Hey.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

Actually, I was getting ready to go somewhere.

I just wanted to come by and say hello, you know,

see how you guys a doing.

We're trying to move on. It's been pretty tough.

Yeah, I could only imagine.

I mean, not knowing why Mary Alice...

Why what?

Why she did it. Oh, here, let me help you.

I've got it, I've got it.

I'm sorry if I upset you.

Can I be frank?

Of course.

I don't care what her reasons were.

Maybe she was depressed, maybe she was bored.

It doesn't matter.

She abandoned her husband and her son, and I'll never forgive her.

As I watched Ssusan, I couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

She wanted so much to know why I did it...

Why I killed myself.

It's not enough to want the truth.

You must know where to look for it.

And the truth is elusive, because it knows where to hide.

Hello, Julie.

I talked to your mom about donating some clothes for Edie.

She's at mrs. Van de Kamp's,

but I'll see if she left some stuff upstairs.

I-I was, um, just admiring your new measuring cup.

Yeah, we lost ours.
