is that a hard rule or just a general guide line?
Rest assured, everyone's secrets are safe.

That's good to hear.

I'll keep yours, too, if you want to talk.

Oh, me?

No, no.

Confession's not really my thing.

That's a shame.

Okay, you can stop condemning me with your eyes.

Right now.

I know you know about the affair,

but you know nothing about my life.

Look, it's not even an issue anymore. John and I are finished.

Gabrielle, the church is pretty clear on this.

If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting,

you go to hell.

Well, aren't you just a ball of fun.

So if I confess, it'll clean the slate, right?

Not only that.

If you want god's forgiveness, you have to be truly sorry,

and you have to promise not to commit the sin again.

So what happens if I repent later,

like, say, when I'm 75?

I wouldn't recommend waiting. What if you die before then?

Well, let's say I don't die.

I do yoga, I eat well.

If I wait, does my repenting still count?

If you mean it, yes.

Thank you, father Crowley.

You have been a tremendous comfort.

Um, I will let you do your thing.

Gabrielle.

You know, we're all responsible for the choices we make.

Don't you want to be a good person?

What I want is to be happy.

That's the answer of a selfish child.

I know.

Then I started taking the pills because they gave me energy,

but then I couldn't sleep at night,

and I was getting so tired in the daytime,

and it totally messed me up.

I love my kids so much.

I'm so sorry they have me as a mother.

Lynette, you are a great mother.

No, I'm not.

I can't do it.

I'm so tired of feeling like a failure.

It's so humiliating.

No, it's not.

So you got addicted to your kids' A.D.D. medication.

It happens.

You've got four kids. That's a lot of stress.

Honey, you just need some help.

That's what's so humiliating.

Other moms don't need help.

Other moms make it look so easy.

All I do is complain.

That's not true.

When -- when Julie was a baby,

I-I was out of my mind almost every day.

I used to get so upset when Andrew and Danielle were little,

I used their nap times to cry.

Why didn't you ever tell me this?

Oh, baby.

Nobody likes to admit that they can't handle the pressure.

I think it's just like we think, you know,

it's easier to keep it all in.

Oh, we shouldn't.

We should tell each other this stuff.

It helps, huh?

Yeah.

It really does.

So it was Martha Huber all along.

Seems so.

Edie didn't move in with Huber until after your wife received the blackmail note.

My god. We almost killed an innocent woman.

Like I said, I don't do refunds,

but if you'd like,

I'm willing to pay Mrs. Huber a visit.

No. Just keep the money.

This whole thing's been tearing me up --

the nightmares, the guilt.

This isn't what Mary Alice would have wanted.

What would she have wanted?

Answers.

Hello, Mrs. Huber.

Paul.

Let me give you a hand.

That's really not necessary.

I insist.

Ants, huh?
