"Previously on" Desperate Housewives...

The police showed me your rap sheet.
You killed a man.

- Want to hear what happened?
- It doesn't matter.

I will never believe
anything you say ever again.

[Mary Alice] Unexpected visitors...

- She's cheating on you?
- I think so.

- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you, Mama.

... lead to unexpected consequences.

Andrew, you almost killed
another human being.

She's lived her life.

I have my whole life ahead of me
and now it might be screwed up.

In the coma ward
at Sacred Heart Hospital,


the dreams begin just after midnight.

The pitch black of night
gives way to vivid images


that comfort the dreamer
until the morning.


Gus, the custodian,

dreams of some day winning the lottery

and quitting his thankless job.

Howard, the security guard,

envisions a luxurious retirement
in the tropics.


Ruth Ann, the night nurse,

fantasizes about leaving her husband.

But the most vivid dreams of all
belong to the patient in Room 312.


Yes, Juanita Solis had been
dreaming steadily for five months.


Sometimes,

of the shocking secret
she had uncovered.


Other times, she dreamt of the accident
that had put her in the hospital.


But her most common dream

was the one in which
she finally told her son the truth.


And then one night,

Juanita Solis decided it was time...

... to wake up.

[Coughs hoarsely] Hello?

Is anybody here?

Hello?

I have to call my son!

Huh!

Aah!

[Juanita groans and grunts]

Even though she knew she was
about to die, Juanita didn't care.


The truth was finally going to come out.

Tell my son his wife is cheating on him.

Oh, my God!

Sadly for Juanita, this was
one dream that would never come true.


[Music filters from headphones]

We all honor heroes
for different reasons.


Sometimes for their bravery,

sometimes for their daring,

sometimes for their goodness.

But mostly we honor heroes
because, at one point or another,


we all dream of being rescued.

[Knock on door]

[Mike] Susan, I know you're in there.
We have to talk.

This is crazy.

I know.
