Previously on Desperate Housewives...

John, you're a toy.
You and me, no future.

Once some things are said...

Remember what it's like
to work a 60-hour week?

...you can't take them back.

No one cares as much
about finding Deidre as I do.

- You shot yourself?
- Pretty lame, huh?

- The damage is already done.
- Mom!

- You're not taking her away from me.
- Get out.

I needed you to see something.
They stole it from Mike's garage.

Is that blood?

[Mary Alice] Bre Van De Kamp
believed in old-fashioned values.

Things like respect for God,

the importance of family,

and love of country.

In fact, Bre believed
so strongly in her values,

it was always a shock
whenever she was confronted

with those who didn't.

- It's not mine.
- You promised the cheating had stopped.

Could we not yell at each other?
I'm feeling lousy today.

- I want you out of the house.
- Bree, look at me. It's not mine.

It didn't just magically appear
in my laundry basket.

I'm not the only guy in this house
that uses that hamper.

- No!
- Sorry.

- Andrew's still a child.
- He's 16. It's not unheard of.

- Honey, talk to him.
- And tell him what?

That we found his condom and
that he is forbidden from... You know.

I can tell him we think he's too young,
but it won't do any good.

We can search his room and if we find
any more, we'll confiscate them.

- That will accomplish what?
- If we take away his condoms...

He's a teenage boy. We could take away
his penis, he'd still try to have sex.

Well, we can't put it back in his room.

That would be like we're condoning
pre-marital sex.

Bree, let me put this another way.

Do you want to become a grandmother?

Yes, Bre believed
in old-fashioned values.

But she also believed

it was better to be safe than sorry.

Each new morning
in suburbia brings with it

a new set of lies.

Little white lies, told not to hurt...

Morning, Mrs. Petchul,
you look lovely today.

...but to make life more pleasant.

They tell these lies
to protect themselves

and their reputations.

Oh, for God's sake,
this is unbelievable.

This is the last time
I do my banking online.

Of course, every now and then,

the day arrives when someone
finally decides to tell the truth.

He was shot?
How could you not tell us about this?

He was embarrassed.
He said it was an accident.

Oh, don't look at me like that.
Accidents happen.

We know you want to trust Mike,

but he had a dead woman's
jewelry in his garage.

Now did he?
We don't know that for sure.

All we know is that Lynette's kids
turned up with it.

Are you saying
the twins murdered Martha?

Well, I wouldn't put it past them.

That is about
as likely as Mike having done it.

He's a good guy. I know him.
I mean, he's... he's Mike.

I don't think Mike did it either,

but if we don't call,
we're guilty of withholding evidence.

If he is innocent, this should be
a simple matter to clear up.

But... we will do
whatever you want us to do.

OK, call.

- Shall I just dial 911?
- It's not really an emergency.
