Continuity: At the funeral reception at Paul Young's house, Lynette enters and exits the pool wearing high-heeled shoes. She walks towards Paul, still wearing shoes. In the very next shot, just as she's walking up to Paul to extend her apologies and say good-bye, the camera shows her barefoot. There's no way she had time to take her shoes off. moreQuotes:
Mary Alice: We all have moments of desperation, but when we face them head on we find out how strong we truly are. moreFAQ

I loved this episode! I bought the Desperate Housewives box, but i had only seen one episode. So i sat down and watched the first episode (pilot) and laughed so much! My favorite character is Lynette (Felicity Hauffman). She was so funny! I also loved all the other characters; Susan (Teri Hatcher), Bree (Marcia Cross), and the other girls and boys. Bree was such a cool woman, when everything had to be perfect. And Susans food was a great sequence! Lynette was a great woman who had so many children's (i loved went in the pool at the funeral). How can i say this... Well, great episode with great actresses. Many quick and funny lines and it felt good. I'm looking forwards to the other episodes!
