- I'm not kidding, old woman!
- Stay away from me! Don't touch me!
No.

No, you go home. I'll take care of this.

And you were never here. Go.

Go!

Did you see that? A guy came barreling
around the corner and just hit her.

- Do you have a cell phone?
- Yeah.

Call 911.

- What happened?
- Is she breathing?

As Juanita tetered dangerously close
to the white light,

Lynette and Tom were headed
into a black hole.

I was just participating.

Your participation was supposed
to be limited to making dinner,

not making my ideas look bad.

Maybe you need better ideas.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

No, we both know that your career

was going better than mine
before we had kids.

- You never let me forget that.
- That is not fair.

You were always competing with me,
and judging by tonight, you still are.

Tom, I am sorry about tonight. Truly.

But if I'm competing it's with
the Bree Van De Kamps of the world,

with their spotless kitchens
and their perfect kids,

who throw fabulous parties
where nothing ever goes wrong.

I try so hard to keep up but I can't.

And when you work on a pitch,
I am reminded of a world I left behind,

where I was the winner
and people tried to keep up with me.

I can't go back,
I can't win where I am.

I am stuck in the middle
and it is really starting to get to me.

Whoa! For your information, I thought
you threw an amazing dinner party.

I was thrilled. I don't know
how you pulled it all together.

- Yeah, well...
- And whether you believe it or not,

everyone who knows you thinks
that you are a great wife and mother.

- No, they don't.
- Yes, they do.

Especially me.

Thanks.

What's wrong with your eyes?

Nothing. I'm tired. [scoffs]

- Turn around. I want to look at you.
- I'm fine.

[Siren blares]

What's going on outside?

[Medic] Right there.

Thank God you're here. Will you take
care of Gabrielle for a minute?

All right.

Oh, Andrew. Thank God you're back.
I need your help, honey.

There's been an accident.

Andrew?

Mama?

[Gasps] Andrew!

Rex, you need to come home.

Something's happened and we need you.

Competition. It means different things
to different people.

But whether it's a friendly rivalry

or a fight to the death...

Cheers.

...the end result is the same.

There will be winners...

and there will be losers.

Of course, the trick is...

to know which battles to fight.

You se,

no victory comes without a price.
