Previously on Desperate Housewives...

One was careless...

You put a woman into a coma.
Surely, that arouses some emotion.

- Well, it doesn't.
- You and I are finished.

One said goodbye.

I'm tired of feeling like a failure.

One almost lost it.

Your wife didn't kill herself
because of my note,

but because of what she did
to that poor baby.

And one got exactly
what she deserved.

Gabrielle was waiting
for her next great idea.

Her first great idea
came when she was 15,

after her stepfather
paid her a late-night visit.

She bought a bus ticket to New York
the very next day.

Her next occurred five years later

when she decided to seduce
a famous fashion photographer.

One wek later she began her carer
as a runway model,

which soon led
to her next great idea,

her decision to marry Carlos Solis.

Before she knew it, she had jumped off
the runway and moved to the suburbs.

Her most recent great idea was born
out of her boredom with her new life.

That's how she came to start an affair
with her tenage gardener,

which was cut short
by a tragic accident.

So, once again, Gabrielle
was in ned of a great idea.

I know you're worried,
but it's gonna take time.

Hm? What is?

You look sad. I assumed you were
thinking about your mother-in-law.

- Oh, no.
- So, uh, what were you thinking about?

My life. It hasn't turned out
like I thought it would.

- Oh, honey.
- Oh, no. I know I shouldn't complain.

It's just there's something missing
and I don't know what it is.

- Do you ever feel that way?
- No.

When I go home at night,
I sleep like a baby.

I know I did something
that day that helped people.

- That must be a nice feeling.
- Hm. It is.

There's times I wish
I didn't have to work so hard.

We got a nursing shortage
and they cut our budget.

Attention, all available personnel.
Code blue, stat, room 214.

- Excuse me.
- All available personnel.

Code blue, stat.

[Rapid bleping]

Get a doctor in here.
I don't have an airway.

No time. I have to intubate.
Mr. Getz. Mr. Getz, listen.

You're not dying on me, OK?
This tube is to help you breathe.

I need you to be brave now.

It was then that Gabrielle
got her next great idea.

She decided to throw the first Annual
Sacred Heart Charity Fashion Show

to raise money for more nursing staff.

Gaby, I can't do it. I cannot walk down
a runway in one of these dresses.

They all make me look so fat.
Please get someone to take my place.

Listen, Betty! OK?
You're not quitting on me now.

We'll find you a gown that's black
and slimming and you'll look great.

- I need you to be brave now.
- OK.

And that night when she went to bed,
Gabrielle slept like a baby.

News of the fashion show
spread quickly on Wisteria Lane.

Though the event was for charity,
Gabrielle soon discovered

when it came to the latest fashions,

women are seldom charitable.

No one knew this better
than Edie Britt.

She understood that treachery
never goes out of style.

- Susan.
- Give me the dress.

- I gave it a shot.
- Hm.

Hi, Helen. How's the dress fitting?
