Anybody home?

Previously on Desperate Housewives...

- Susan played with fire...
- That's not my cup.

And could get burned,

Go to a spa, go shopping.
Find a way to reIax.

- Gabrielle...found herself a playmate,
- Get here as fast as you can.

Lynette couldn't get her kids
to stop playing,

- Do you know why I pulled you over?
- I have a theory.

If I don't get some sIeep, I'll be
forced back upstairs out of exhaustion.

And Bree played hard ball,

Everyone has a little dirty laundry,

When I was alive, I maintained
many different identities,

Lover, wife and, ultimately, victim,

Yes, labels are important to the living,
They dictate how people see themselves,

Like my friend Lynette,

She used to see herself as a career
woman, and a hugely successful one,

She was known for her power lunches,

her eye-catching presentations,

and her ruthlessness
in wiping out the competition,

But Lynette gave up
her career to assume a new label,

The incredibly satisfying role
of full-time mother,

Scavo residence. Yes, this is me.

But, unfortunately for Lynette,

this new label frequently
fell short of what was advertised,

How in the worId did they...?

I Ieft the door to the art suppIy
cupboard open for five minutes.

That's all. Five minutes.

The IittIe girI,
why didn't she say anything?

Your boys work quickIy.

Well, obviousIy they will be
punished for this severeIy.

I hesitate bringing this up, since you
got so ugIy about it Iast time...

They don't have Attention Deficit
Disorder, and I won't drug my boys

just to make your job easier.

I'd rather change teachers.

They're in my cIass because I'm
the onIy teacher who can handIe them.

What if we separate the twins,
put them in different cIasses?

They're caImer when they're not
bouncing off one another.

We can try that,
but if it doesn't work,

we may no Ionger
be abIe to accommodate them.

It suddenly occurred to Lynette,

her label was about
to change yet again,

And for the next few years,
she would be known as

the mother of the boys
who painted Tiffany Axelrod blue,

It looked to be an interesting
afternoon on Wisteria Lane,

A mysterious cassette tape had been
discovered by my friend Bree,

She had stolen it
from her marriage counselor,

A counselor I'd once spoken to
in strictest confidence,

How have you been?

- I had the nightmare again,
- It's weird to hear Mary AIice.

- Still the same one?
- Yes,

But this time I was standing in a river
and I saw the girl under the water,

She kept screaming “Angela
over and over again,

What do you think the significance
of the name “Angela” is?

Actually, that's my real name,

Her reaI name?

I've seen her driver's Iicense.
I did not say AngeIa.

- What does the rest of the tape say?
- More about her nightmares,

and this girI she was afraid of.

So what the hell do we do now?

I think we shouId show PauI the note.
