- I gave it a shot.
- Hm.
Hi, Helen. How's the dress fitting?

Great. Maybe it could be taken out
in the shoulder a little.

Sure. No problem.

There you go.

Gabrielle,
I never thanked you properly.

- For what?
- For what you did for my son.

It was so nice of you to hire John
as your gardener.

Believe me, it's been my pleasure.

- How's he doing?
- Good, good.

I hear he's dating
Danielle Van De Kamp.

For now. It's just a matter of time
before they break up for good.

What's wrong?

She just seems to want much more
of a relationship than he does.

You remember what it was like
dating teenage boys.

- Vaguely.
- Thank you.

Tell Tanaka that if he doesn't call me

I'm gonna go down to his office,
find him and kick his ass!

Ladies.

- Trouble at work?
- I don't know.

He's making money left and right.
I just wish he'd relax.

Crap, crap, crap! I'm telling you,
all of the good dresses are taken.

Now, what the hell
am I supposed to wear?

Well, Mrs. Huber never showed up.
Why don't you wear this one?

This is an old-lady dress.
You won't even be able to see my body.

Edie, you're always thinking of others.

So why isn't Mrs. Huber here?

Last I heard,
she went to visit her sister.

I just can't believe that Martha
would agree to wear this.

She always says she'd never be
caught dead in black.

Sadly for Mrs. Huber,
this was no longer the case.

- [Door closes]
- Hey, Mom.

Julie, you got a letter from Zach.

- Isn't that weird, him writing you?
- Yeah.

Well, open. Open, open. He could
have said something about Dana.

- I'll read it later.
- Later? What's wrong with now?

I've got tons of homework, Mom.

- Julie, what's going on?
- [Sighs]

This isn't the first letter from Zach.

We've been writing each other
the last couple of weeks.

- Are you mad?
- No. Just when I was your age,

my pen pal lived on a farm in Ohio,
not in a mental institution.

That letter is one notch
above prison mail.

Zach's not crazy.
He's just upset over his Mom,

and his Dad doesn't
even seem to care.

He just... needs a friend.

I've packed the diapers, I'm getting
the juice boxes and carrot sticks...

- Sunscreen?
- Got it.

I go pick up the boys, we hit the park,

and that should give you
a good couple of hours.

Enjoy the vacation.

- [Baby coughs]
- What?

While you're gone, I'll be paying bills
and sorting laundry and cooking dinner.

So what part of that
sounds like a vacation?

OK, right. We'll pick up dinner.

You just take a hot bath,
relax, recharge.

OK, I get it. It's gonna take
more than a hot bath to recharge.

But don't forget, I'm here all week.

Then what?

And then we go back to normal?

Tom, our last version of normal
had me popping pills.

Normal is a bad, bad plan.

We'll put our heads together
and come up with a solution.

I think we need to hire
a nanny full time.

- God, it's just such a big commitment.
- I know, and we can't afford it.

And I know everything
that's happened is my fault,

but if I don't get some help,

there's an excellent chance
I will lose my mind.

OK. Well, then,
we have to make it work.

[Sighs]

[Boy] No, no, no.

Next up: 200-meter frestyle.

- It's just not right.
- What?
