Previously on Desperate Housewives...

- I want a child.
- We made a deal. No kids.

- Tampering with prescriptions...
- File on Noah's daughter.

...uncovering evidence...

What are we looking for?

- What was that?
...breaking and entering...

- Bree is a lady.
- A very beautiful, classy lady.

Remember, they tend to end up
with doctors, not pharmacists.

...and a whole lot of revenge.

[Mary Alice]
Since she was a little girl,

Susan Mayer wanted to be a mother
in the worst way.

OK, I'm gonna get your bottle.
You're so cute, yeah!

And from the first day she brought Julie
home from the hospital...

[baby grunts]

Oh! How did you...

She was.

Oh, my gosh!

Despite her desire
to do well by her daughter...

[baby cries]

...Susan suffered
through countless failures.

So sorry!

Of course, it took Susan
a few years to realize

that even the best of parents
make mistakes now and then.

[Tapping]

But now that Julie was a tenage girl,

Susan had started to realize...

- [sighs]
...there was no room for error.

Julie, what is Zach doing out there?
I told you not to speak to him.

That's why he's throwing gravel
at my window.

Right, that's it.
I'm gonna handle this once and for all.

Zach, what do you think you're... Ow!

[Susan] Ow! Ow!

Mrs. Mayer, I am so sorry.

One pebble wasn't working
so I tried a whole handful.

- Ow... ow...
- I'll make it up to you.

- How, will you give me your corneas?
- Mom, lay back.

I wanted to talk to Julie. She hasn't
been returning my phone calls.

Well, I'm here now.
What do you want?

Come on, Julie.
I just wanna see you again.

You know. Talk, hang out.

Maybe it would be better
if we just cooled it for a while, OK?

Why?

You threw rocks in her mother's face.
How's that for a start?

Thank you so much.

I've been trying to break up with him
for weeks. Finally, an excuse.

Yes, Susan had failed
many times as a mother.

You did good, Mom.

So she took her victories
where she found them.

You're welcome.

Spring comes every year
to Wisteria Lane.

It's the time when flowers
start to bloom.

When butterflies
emerge from their cocoons.

When bes begin to search for nectar.

[Buzzing]

Spring is also the time
when a young man's fancy turns to...

...obsession.

We must buy that.

Hello, there.

Oh, my heavenly days!

Rex, look, it's George.

Nice to see you, Bree.

Dr. Van De Kamp.

George.

So, how's your health?

Not good. My cardiologist is an idiot.

The doctor upped his dosage twice
and it's still not helping.

I'm sure it'll all work itself out.

It's funny running into you both.

I have tickets to a bonsai exposition
in Mount Pleasant Friday night.

- Would you like to go?
- I would love to! Rex?

A whole evening of bonsai trees?
Wouldn't it be easier to shoot me?

Probably.

Well, why don't we
just go by ourselves, then?

Actually, Bree,
we have that thing, Friday night.

What? We don't have a thing.

I think your husband's trying to say
he doesn't want you going out with me.

Rex, are you still jealous?

No.

We dated during the separation
but we're just friends now, aren't we?

Strictly platonic.

- But if you feel threatened...
- I don't feel threatened.
