Previously on Desperate Housewives...

- These are nice people.
- My money says one of'em isn't.

- How creepy is Mrs. Huber's sister?
- Promises were made.

I'm going to find out
exactly what happened to her.

- Marriages came undone.
- We are starting a family.

We're not negotiating my uterus.

- Would you go out to dinner with me?
- Like a date?

- A date?
- And the truth...

- You burned her house down.
...was denied.

I absolutely did not
do that thing you accused me of.

Martha Huber waited her whole life
for something to happen to her,

something exciting.

As a child she hoped to be
kidnapped by a band of pirates.

As a tenager she dreamt of being
discovered by a Hollywood talent scout.

As a young woman she fantasized

a handsome millionaire
would swep her off her fet.

But the years had flown by
and still nothing exciting

had ever happened to Martha Huber.

Until the night she was murdered.

Hello, Mrs. Huber.
Let me give you a hand.

- That's really not necessary.
- I insist.

In those last moments it occurred
to her, in addition to being boring,

life could also be very cruel.

Luckily for Mrs. Huber,
death was far more merciful.

What do you think?

That's our missing woman all right.

Oh, jeez. Didn't take the media long
to get wind of this.

Make sure no one contaminates
my crime scene.

Hey, little lady. A lot of people
are looking for you. You know that?

Your face is gonna be on the front page
of every paper in this state.

How's that for exciting?

Officer Jackson couldn't be sure,
but for a brief moment,

he thought he saw the corpse
of Martha Huber smile.

Death had come once again
to Wisteria Lane.

I'm afraid I have
some bad news for you.

We found your sister's body.

Word of the tragedy would soon spread
throughout the neighborhood.

But for now people went about
their lives as they always did,

blissfully unaware.

[Knocking]

- Hello? Anybody home?
- [Mike] In the kitchen.

Good news. I finished my book.

So I thought to celebrate
you could take me out to lunch.

- Susan.
- Can we do a rain check?

We're looking at the plans
for her house.

My insurance company's
cutting my check.

There's only one plumber I want.

Don't expect to see this guy for a few
months. I'm gonna be riding him hard.

Well, if anybody can go the distance,
he can. I should know.

See ya.

Mike.

Mike, we're on the clock.

[Phone rings]

Hey, Felicia. What's up?

Edie?

They found Martha.

Here, blow. Good.
All right, come on.

This is gonna be fun. Follow me.
