that caught her eye
What's about time.

Be nice. I come bearing Snacks.

Lynette, these cards are sticky

I know. Preston used the three of diamonds to took scoop jam out of the jar.

Gorgeous, thankful we have 49 cards to play with.

- Hello. Sorry I'm late - Hey.

So, Susan and I was just telling the girls, I want to throw a dinner party

- Really? - Yes.

Well how long have we all lived on this street we've never done a big group thing

I think it's a great idea

Paul never likes to have people over but the heck with him I'm doing it.

So when is this shindig?

How about a month from tonight?

That would be the 16th. Good for everyone?

Works for me. Should we all make something?

Oh, no. This is my party.

I've been wanting to have everyone over for years.

I'm so happy we're finally doing this.

It's gonna be so much fun.

Hey.

I know. Her dinner.

How could we have all forgotten about this?

We didn't exactly forget, it's just usually when the hostess dies the party's off.

Lynette
Lynette

I'm not being flip. I'm just pointing out a reality.

Mary Alice was so excited about it. It's so sad.

I think we should go through with it.

Really? Wouldn't that be in poor taste?

No. It's sort of a way to honor Mary Alice.

It was so important to her

We could all use a fun night.

Well, good, because I have some new flour that I have been just dying to show off.

Lynette?
Lynette?

- I'm in. - I'll make braised lamb shanks.

I'm still in.

So how many I will be cooking for?

Seven. Three couples and Susan. Does that sound right?

No, it sounds very, very wrong.

- Oh - Is there somebody you'd like to invite?

I have an idea.

A dinner party.

Honey, I may be working late.

The Dillman proposal's a complete mess.

No, no, you promised to be home every night this week.

I'll try but I can't guarantee anything.

This is business.

says the prince as he rides off into the sunset.

Boy the movies ever get the wrong.

You know what your problem is?

You're very tense.

You should go to a spa or go shopping.

Find a way to relax.

Hello?

Where are you?

Algebra.

You free at 4:00?

I'm not sure. I got track after school.

Well, get here as fast as you can.

My husband says I need to relax.

You, uh, want me to keep my gym clothes on like last time?

If you would, please.

A dinner party?

Yeah, it'll be fun.

Bree's cooking, everyone's coming.

You know what? I haven't even had a chance to unpack yet, honey.

I just, uh, I just need to chill out for the next few days.

Oh, Tom.

There'll be liquor and hors d'oeuvres and grownups without children and -- and silverware.

Remember silverware?

Honey, can you take this in for me?

Have you heard anything I just said?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just -- I'm wiped out.

Three cities in six days -- my head is just pounding. I'm not ready for a dinner party.

I already got a sitter.

Can you cancel her?

Please? Look, let's just stay in tomorrow night.

We can get a bottle of wine and rent a video,

and I-I just want to hang out with my best gal.

That's all.

I was looking so forward to a night out.

I know, sweetie, I'm sorry, but...

I'm beat.

I mean, do you remember what it was like to work a 60-hour week?

A dinner party?

Do I have to go?

Well, given that we're hosting it, I'd say so.

By the way, you won't be drinking at this party.

Why is that?

Because when you drink, you get chatty.

No one needs to know that we're seeing Dr. Goldfine.

You know, if you spent half as much time working on our problems as you do covering them --

not a drop.

You know, this -- this is ridiculous.

And this whole thing about us taking tennis lessons?

Well, the nurses at your office may start wondering why you're disappearing three times a week.

Tennis lessons are a plausible alibi.

All right so, these tennis lessons we're taking --

how are we doing?

My backhand's improving immensely, but you're still having problems with your serve.

Of course.

A dinner party?

It's tomorrow night, so if you could just keep Julie an extra day.

Fine, but that's all. Brandi and I leave sunday for a week up at the cabin.

What cabin?

Brandi wanted some place where we could get away.

Escrow just closed yesterday.

You can afford a cabin, but you can't scrape up child support?
