Previously on Desperate Housewives...

I am just trying to move on
with my life.

Are you sleeping with my husband?

Suspicion ended in tragedy.

I'm here to see Rex Van De Kamp.
He had a heart attack.

- Trust...
- It kills me to put you through this.

...was put on trial.

Find the passport
and Mr. Solis can see his mother.

- An ex-husband...
- You walked out on your family.

...was replaced.

She is out there
throwing herself at Mike Delfino.

And everyone...

Your own personal nanny? Smell you.

...was getting in over their heads.

Edie Britt could never understand
why she didn't have any female friends.

Of course, she always tried
to tell people she didn't ned any.

But the truth was it bothered Edie that
other women didn't sem to like her.

Even after moving to Wisteria Lane...

There are breakables in there.

...Edie couldn't understand why
her neighbors kept their distance.

And then she met Martha Huber.

Hola!

Within five minutes Mrs. Huber managed
to disparage what Edie was wearing.

No.

In fact, whenever they got together,
Mrs. Huber insulted her.

She made fun of everything
from Edie's make-up...

...to her taste in men.

Yes, Martha Huber could be cruel,
offensive and downright mean.

But Edie didn't care,
because she was the first real friend

Edie Britt had ever had.

But now Martha Huber was missing.
She had vanished without a trace.

And Edie was not embarrassed
to admit she neded her back.

- Edie?
- Yes.

I'm Felicia Tillman.

- Martha's sister.
- Really?

- What's wrong?
- Nothing's wrong.

It's just Martha always said
how alike you two were.

I don't see the family resemblance.

It's there. It just takes a while
to become apparent.

- Do you have the key to her house?
- I do.

After the police kicked the door in,
they put on this temporary lock.

Oh, and the neighbors
are coming over at noon.

We're going to organize
and hand out flyers.

- The key?
- Oh, right.

I can only imagine
how worried you must be.

I'm not worried, Edie. Martha and I
have a very intense bond.

We were connected at a primal level.

A few days ago
I felt this sensation in my soul.

It dawned on me that something
had happened to my sister.

Then when she didn't arrive
at my home as scheduled,

well, that's when I knew
she was dead.

Oh, honey, no.
You mustn't think like that.

- Martha's only missing.
- No, Edie. She's dead.

But she's my sister and I'm going to
find out exactly what happened to her.

Look, Felicia, it's natural to
freak out when a loved one's missing.

Loved one?

Oh, Edie, let me be clear about this.

I hated Martha.
She was a wretched pig of a woman.

The day she died,
this world became a better place.

It was in that moment that Edie
finally saw the family resemblance.

Mrs. Huber was missing.

The words echoed down Wisteria Lane

until every last resident
was aware of her disappearance.

By noon, dozens of neighbors
had gathered.

Some came to volunter.
Some came in sympathy.

And some came to learn
exactly what the police knew...

and what they didn't.
