Desperate Housewives s01e14

Previously on Desperate Housewives...
If someone hurt her,
I want them dead.
Sometimes...
I'm out of money.
In a few weeks I'll be screwed.
- Think about looking for a job.
- Ha!
The answers...
Tell me what he said
and I can fix it.
- I can't.
...to life's biggest questions...
[Mary Alice on tape]
I had the nightmare.
[Dr. Goldfine] And the name "Angela"?
- [Tape] My real name.
...are buried...
She's not been dead a month
and it's like she never existed.
...under bigger lies.
- Zach was telling Julie about Dana.
- He didn't mean to kill Dana.
Most mothers will tell you
their children are a gift from God.
Most mothers will also tell you
the gifts their children give them
are less than heavenly.
Lynette had suffered through art work
made in kindergarten...
...spice racks made in summer camp...
...and jewelry
made at the scout jambore.
On this day...
...Lynette Scavo received a gift
every mother dreams of.
One she wasn't embarrassed to display.
- Where did you guys get this pot?
- [Twins] We made it.
Really? I love it.
Well, this is the nicest present
you boys have ever given me.
I'll put it out on the front porch
so the whole neighborhood can enjoy it.
Lynette would cherish
the memory of that moment
for the rest of her life.
The memory of that moment
was ruined the very next day.
Mrs. McCluskey,
why are you taking my flower pot?
It's mine. Your boys stole it.
No, no, no. My sons made that
for me for Valentine's Day!
I bought this in Costa Rica
on my last cruise. You see?
It's still got the price tag on it.
What? Nothing more to say?
Cat got your tongue?
You listen to me,
keep your brats off my property.
Yes, most mothers will tell you
their children are a gift from God.
Most mothers will also tell you
there are some days
when you wish you could return them.
It was the day before Valentine's Day
and every man on Wisteria Lane
was preparing for this
most dangerous of holidays.
While some purchased
romantic cards...
...and some brought home
candy and flowers...
and some made dinner reservations
at fancy restaurants...
...others managed to forget
about the day entirely... again.
This flurry of activity was lost
on the women of Wisteria Lane.
They were busy learning
a secret about their neighbors.
A secret
that was positively heartbreaking.
So Paul said
that Zachary killed Dana?
Yeah.
It must have been an accident.
Boys don't just kill their sisters.
That boy is seriously disturbed and
I've forbidden Julie from seeing him.
So this is it. This is the secret
that Mary Alice was trying to protect.
The guilt she lived with.
I never thought I'd say this,
but I kind of feel sorry for Paul.
I wish I could.
I still feel like something's not right.
- What do you mean?
- We've all been in their house.
Have you ever seen a picture
of another kid?
Why keep Dana's baby blanket
and throw out all the photos?
That's a good point.
And why did Mary Alice refer to herself
as "Angela" in therapy?
Mary Alice loved Zach
more than anything in the world.
When you love a child that much...
You're capable of doing
all sorts of things.
Yeah.
[Knocking]
Hello? These were delivered
to my house by mistake. May I?
They're for Mary Alice Young.
Oh, my God.
I, uh... had a standing order
with the florist.
I.. . forgot to cancel it.
Mary Alice was my wife.
She passed away a few months ago.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
