Eight Weeks Before the Wedding

Mary Alice talks about sin in the suburbs including tax cheats (Tom), overimbibers (Orson), and kids looking at their dad's porn (Parker) and then Karl and Bree making out.

Bree points out she's married. Karl thinks having sex with him would be a good way to get back at Orson who is blackmailing her. Bree doesn't want to have a quickie on the couch. He says he'll set up a hotel.

At the Solis house, their bratty niece is walking out with a sweatshirt on. Gaby makes her lift it and shows a midriff baring outfit. Gaby makes her change. Carlos wonders why Gaby is so hard on her since she's had such at tough life. Carlos wants to be her legal guardians. Gaby wants to see a change in her behavior first.

Tom and Lynette are freaking out about having twins. Tom says it might be fun. Lynette does not agree.

Mike has told Katherine the bad news. She very calmly admits she was never able to picture them old together. He apologizes. She gives the ring back. He goes back to Susan and says Katherine was okay, he thinks she's trying to take the high road. Susan hugs him. He thinks she should talk to her also. Susan wants to put it off, since Julie is coming home. Mike says she can't avoid her. He tells her not to worry, that Katherine will surprise her. Susan looks out her window and see Katherine staring menacingly at her.

Lee is showing a house to the new family, the Bolens. He's taken over for Edie. The wife, Andrea (played by Drea DeMatteo) thinks at this price there's something wrong with it. She says if they do buy it and it turns out to be a money pit she'll come after him. He admits that Mary Alice killed herself there. She's not bothered by this. They decide to take it. The husband thinks they could be happy. The teenage son is not happy, he didn't want to move. The mom wonders whose faul that was. As he stares sullenly out the window he sees Julie's happy reunion with Susan.

Six Weeks Before the Wedding

Angie is wowing Gaby, Lynette, and Susan with her cookies and Jersey brio. Not so much Bree. Angie's son is starting college soon. Katherine stops by to drop off a menu for an event three months from now. She says she has a lot of free time these days. She says hello to Susan and wonders why she hsasn't seen her. Susan says she's been using the back door. Katherine's buttons are done up wrong and she says she wonders where her head is these days and walks out. Angie wonders if it was the most awkward moment ever. It was.

Lynette goes to the doctor and chats with a woman expecting her first, who thinks Lynette is so blessed. The woman can't imagine anything better than being a mommy. Lynette schools her on what her husband and motherhood is really going to be like, mean Lynette-style. The woman is confused saying she was always told motherhood was the best. Lynette says everyone has been lying for generations. She makes the woman cry.

Karl and Bree meet up at a hotel. He's ready. She's less so. He picked a fleabag and she's disgusted. She makes them go sheet-shopping. She wants the affair to be nice. He realizes she doesn't want it at all. She says she does. He says it's not her fault, she's a good girl who doesn't break rules and would rather be good than happy.

Susan isn't home so the delivery guy drops off her gown with Katherine.

Susan freaks when she sees the note from the delivery guy. She goes to Katherine's. She's wearing the dress, she says she couldn't resist. Susan asks her to slip it off and drop it off. Katherine says she has to check on her spaghetti sauce. Susan asks her to step away from the bubbling pot. Katherine comments on the expensive fabric. She offers to give Mike some sauce and tastes it. Susan puts the lid on and tells her to take the dress off now. Tearfully she agrees and has Susan unzip her. Back at home Susan and Julie work on getting the red flecks off. Mike wonders if he should go talk to her. Susan is mad that everyone is worried about Katherine and making her feel like the other woman.

Gaby is taking Mrs. McCluskey to the store. She's got a new man in her life and she says she's back in the saddle. Gaby doesn't want the details. She comes home and bratty niece is washing the car because she wants to go to a party the next night. Gaby says she can go since she's trying to make an effort. Gaby tells her to be home by ten. The party starts at 11. Gaby says no and she kicks the bucket over angrily.

Julie is giving Danny math tutoring. Even though he's not in school yet. He asks her out to a movie, as a friend. She says okay. He's happy. Mr. Bolen comes in and asks Danny to take the trash out. The dad thanks Julie for not shooting Danny down. She says she likes him. Mr. Bolen says he's not in her league though. She smiles at this.

Gaby goes to say goodnight to Anna and she's not there. Juanita is in her bed because Anna paid her five dollars. Gaby goes to the club to find her. She interrupts the deejay and bribes him to let her get on the microphone to find Anna. The crowd boos her. The crowd outs her and lifts her up to the front. Gaby tells her she told her not to mess with her. She drives her home. She tells her she can't keep doing this. Anna thinks she's going to throw her out and she can take care of herself. Gaby wonders how she'll make money. She says she'll be a model and she will be rich and famous and no one will ever tell her what to do again. Gaby says it's not that easy. Anna says it was for her, since Gaby left home at 15. Gaby says her stepfather wasn't nice and her mother didn't care. Anna says her father left when she was three and her mother has been in and out of prison. And she says she overheard Gaby saying she was keeping her options open by not signing the guardianship papers. Gaby goes in and grabs the papers, sits Anna down and signs them. She says she's going to watch her like a hawk. Anna says she's mean. Gaby says she wishes someone was this mean to her when she was Anna's age.

Mrs. McCluskey, who was babysitting for the Solis' leaves and happens to catch Danny and Julie arguing. She says it's really complicated. He says she only cares about herself and stalks away.

One Day Before the Wedding

Bree is setting up the church for Susan and Mike. Orson comes to visit to schedule some counseling with the pastor. Bree says she doesn't need counseling she needs a divorce. He exposits they've been in separate beds and that he's not giving up on them just because she's withholding sex. In prison he went three years without. She thanks him for clearing up a question she never knew how to ask. He says 8 years ago they stood at the altar and made a vow with God. She says she's struggled with this too. He says he can make her happy again. She wonders how since he's blackmailing her. She says she's not a wife she's a captive. She wonders if he feels any remorse. He says he does but that sometimes guilt is a small price to pay for happiness.

Tom and Lynette are at the doctor and checking out the sonogram. They have strong hearbeats. Tom is excited. Lynette is faking it. He wonders what's wrong, why she's acting like she doesn't care. She says she's tired. He wonders when she's going to start getting excited. She tearfully says she doesn't love them. He looks at her oddly. She says if she can't talk to him about this she's in trouble. He says it's just a shock. She says that's not it. Every time before she loved them from the moment she knew about them, but not these. He tells her to stop saying that and when she holds them, she will. She's unsure but says okay.

The Wedding

Karl drives by Bree and Orson. She tells him to go ahead and sits in Karl's car and tells him she booked a room. They kiss. He wonders what happened to the good girl. She says she decided guilt's a small price to pay for happiness.

Susan is ready and Katherine shows up. She says she's been out of sorts because Susan never bothered to cross the street to see how she was doing and didn't have the decency to apologize. She tries to apologize, but Katherine wants a public one in the middle of her wedding. Susan says she won't. Katherine says she will or she will create a scene so ugly people will be talking about it for years. Susan says okay but she's not happy about it. She then pushes Katherine into the closet and locks her in.

Susan and Mike swap rings as Katherine busts out. And now we're back to the moment from the opening with Katherine confronting them in the aisle. Mike asks her nicely to leave. And if she doesn't he will drag her out himself. She apologizes and leaves. Susan stops her. She runs up to the altar and does what Katherine asked. She does it very sweetly explaining that she was selfish and is truly sorry for changing Katherine's path and hopes she can find it in her heart to forgive her and be her friend again. Katherine hugs her. Susan says he hopes it helped. Katherine says "honestly, it didn't."

At the Bolen's Angie is mad about Danny. It's been hours since the wedding and he's still not home and she knows he picked a fight with Julie. She says they can't make waves since everyone has to think they're nice normal people here. Nick sighs and says yep. Angie undoes her dress and we see she has a big burn on her lower back.

Mary Alice returns to tells us about sin in the suburbs: cheaters (Karl and Bree), those who resent their children (Lynette), and those plotting against friends (Katherine).

But Mary Alice says there's a difference between sin and evil as we see Julie take out the recycling. Someone grabs her from behind and starts choking her. He drops her and runs. He's wearing a brown hoodie.
