Gabriella who lives down the block brought a spicy paella. Since her modeling days in New York, Gabriella had developed a taste for rich food, and rich man. Carlos, who worked in mergers and acquisitions, proposed on their third date. Gabriella was touched when tears welled up in his eyes. But she soon discovered this happened every time Carlos closed a big deal. Gabriella liked her paella piping hot. However her relationship with her husband was considerably cooler.If you talk to AL MASON at this thing, I want you to casually mention how much I paid for your necklace. Why not pin the receipt to my chest? He let me know how much he paid for his wife’s convertible. Look, just work it into the conversation. There is no way I can just work that in, Carlos. Why not? At the Donahue party, everyone was talking mutual fund. You found a way to mentioned you slept with half the Yankee outfield. I’m telling you, it came up in the context of the conversation. Hey, people are starting to stare. Can you keep your voice down, please? Absolutely, we wouldn’t want them to think we are not happy.Bree Van who lives next door, brought baskets of muffins she baked from scratch. Bree was known for her cooking, and for making her own clothes, and for doing her gardening, and for re-upholstering her own furniture. Yes, Bree’s many talents were known throughout the neighborhood. Everyone on Wisteria Lane thought of Bree as the perfect wife and mother. Everyone, that is, except her own family.Paul, Zachary. Hello, Mrs. Van. Bree, you shouldn’t have gone to all this trouble. It was no trouble at all. Now the basket with red ribbon is filled with desserts for your guests, but the one with the blue ribbon is just for you and Zachary. It’s got rolls, muffins, breakfast type things. Thanks you. Well, the least thing I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal to look forward to in the morning. I know you are out of your minds with grief. Yes, we are. Of course, I will need baskets back once you’re done. Of course.Susan, who lived across the street, brought macaroni and cheese. Her husband, Karl, always teased her about her macaroni, saying it was the only thing she knew how to cook and she rarely made it well. It was too salt the night she and Karl moved into their house. It was too watery the night she found lipstick on Karl’s shirt. She burned it the night Karl told her he was leaving her for his secretary. A year had passed since the divorce. Susan had started to think how nice it would be to have a man in her life. Even one who would make fun of her cooking.Mum, why would someone kill themselves? Well, sometimes people are so unhappy, they think that’s the only way to solve their problems. Mrs. Yang always seemed happy. Yeah. Sometimes people pretend to be one way, when they’re totally different on the inside. Oh, you mean like how dad’s girlfriend always smiling and says nice things but we know she’s a bitch. I don’t like that word, Julie. But, yeah, that’s a great example.Sorry, I’m late. Hi Susan. Hey. So, what did Karl say when you confronted him? You’ll love this. He said… it doesn’t mean anything, it was just sex. Ah, yea, page one of the philanderer’s handbook. Yeah, and then he got this zen look on his face, and he said, you know Susan, most men live lives of quiet desperation. Please tell me you punched him. No. I said, “really? And what do most women lead lives of noisy fulfillment? Hmm, good for you. I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary? I had that woman over for brunch. It’s like my grandmother always said, an erect penis doesn’t have a conscience. Even the limp ones aren’t that ethical. This is half the reason I joined the NRA. Well, when Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted it in the back of his mind that he had a loving life at home, with a loaded Smith& Wesson. Lynnie, Tom’s always away on business. Do you ever worry he might? Oh, please, the man’s gotten mepregnant three times in four years. I wish he was having sex with someone else. So, Susan, is he gonna stop seeing that woman? I don’t know. I’m sorry, you guys, I just…I just don’t know how I’m gonna survive this. listen to me, we all have moments of desperation. If we have face them head-on, that’s when we’d find out how strong we really are.Susan, Susan. I was just saying Paul wants us to go over on Friday. He needs us to go to Mary Alice’s closet and help pack up her things. He says he can’t face doing it by himself. Sure, that’s fine. Are you OK? Yeah, I’m just so angry. If Mary Alice was having problems, she should have come to us. She should’ve let us help her. What problems could she have had? She was healthy, had a great home and a nice family. Her life was… our life. No. if Mary Alice was having a crisis, we’d have known. She lives 50 feet away, for god sake. Gabby, the woman killed herself. Something must’ve been going on.I wouldn’t eat that if I were you. Why? I made it, trust me. Hey, hey, do you have a death wish? No, I just refused to believe that anybody can screw up macaroni and cheese. Oh, my god. How did you… it tastes like it’s burned and overcooked. Yeah, I get that a lot. Here you go. Thanks, I’m Mark Delfino. I just started renting the Sim’s house next door. Susan Mayer, I live across the street. Mrs. Huber told me about you, said you illustrate children’s books. Yeah, I’m very big with the under-five set. What do you do? Plumber, so if you ever have a clog… or something… now that everybody’s seen that I brought something, I should probably just throw this out.Ease up, you little vampire. Lynette, I have been looking all over for you. Are you aware of what your sons are doing? Cannonball! Stop! What are you doing? We are at a wake. Oh my god. You said we could go in the pool. I said you could go by the pool. Do you have your swimsuits on? Yeah, we put’em on ourselves before we left. You three planned this? all right. that’s it. get out. No. no? I am your mother. You have to do what I say. Come on. We want to swim and you can’t stop us. Here. No. get out. Think I won’t get in this pool and just grab you? Get out! Get over here. All right, give me your arm. You… that’s right, get over here. Go, go, go, go, go. Move it. out, get out. Paul, we have to leave now. once again, I’m so sorry for your loss. Go.Lynette shouldn’t have been so concerned about my husband. He had other things on his mind. Things below the surface. The morning after my funeral, my friends and neighbors quietly went back to their busy, busy lives. While some did their cooking, and some did their cleaning, and some did their yoga, others, did their ‘homework’.Hi, I’m Julie, I kicked my soccer ball into your backyard. Oh, OK, well, let’s go round and get it. stay. His wife died a year ago, he wanted to stay in LA, but here were too many memories. He’s renting for tax purposes, but hopes to buy a place soon. I can’t believe you went over there. Hey, I saw you both flirting at the wake. You are obviously into each other. Now you know he’s single, you can ask him out. Julie, I like Mr. Delfino, I do. I just… I don’t know if I’m ready to start dating yet. You need to get back out there. Come on, how long has it been since you’ve had sex? Are you mad that I asked you that? No, I’m trying to remember. I don’t want to talk to you about my love life anymore. It warns me out. I wouldn’t have said anything. It’s just… what. I heard dad’s girlfriend ask if you’d dated anyone since the divorce. And dad said he doubted it. and then they both laughed. Hey, Susan. Hi, Mike, I brought you a little house-warming gift. I should’ve brought something by earlier, but… actually, you’re the first to stop by. Really?Susan knew she was lucky. An eligible bachelor had moved on to Wisteria Lane. Welcome. And she was the first to find out. But she also knew that good news… hello there. Travels quickly. Edie Bree was the most predatory divorce in a five-block radius. Her conquests were numerous.Varied. And legendary.Hi Susan, I hope I’m not interrupting. You must be Mike Delfino. Hi, I’m Edie, Britt. I live over there. Welcome to Wisteria Lane.Susan had met the enemy, and she was a slut.Thank you. What’s this? sausage puttanesca. It’s just something I threw together. Well, thanks, Edie. That’s, great. I’d invite you both in. but I was sort of in the middle of something. I’m late for an appointment. I just wanted to say hi.And just like that, the race for Mike Delfino had begun. For a moment, Susan wondered if her rivalry with Edie would remain friendly.Oh, Mike, I heard you’re a plumber.But she was reminded that when it came to men…Do you think you could stop by later and take a look at my pipes?Women don’t fight fare.Sure. Thanks. bye, Susan. You can’t order me around like I am a child. Gabbi. No, no, I’m not going. It’s business. Tanaka expects everyone to bring their wives. Every I’m around that man, he tries to grab my ass. I made over 200,000 doing business with him last year. If he wants to grab your ass, you let him. John. Mr. Solis, you scared me. Why is that bush there? You were supposed to dip it up last week. I didn’t have time. I don’t want to hear your excuses. Just take care of it. I really hate the way you talk to me. And I hate that I spent 15,000 on your diamond necklace which you couldn’t live without. But I’m learning to do with it. so can I tell Tanaka we’ll be there tomorrow? John, we have bandages top shelf in the kitchen. Thanks, Mrs. Solis. Fine, I’ll go. But I’m keeping my back pressed against the wall the entire time.You know what I don’t get? What? Why you married Mr. Solis. Well, he promised to give me everything I’ve ever wanted. And did he? Yes. Then why you aren’t happy? Turns out I wanted all the wrong things. So do you love him? I do. Well, then, why are we here, why are we doing this. because I don’t want to wake up one morning with a sudden urges to blow my brains out. Hey, can I have a drag? Absolutely not. You are much too young to smoke. How would you feel about me using your child-support payments for plastic surgery? Stop being so nervous, you’re just asking him to dinner. No big deal. You are right. so is that your project for school? You know when I was in fifth grade, I made the White House out of sugar cubes. Stop stalling and go. Before Mike figures out he can do better. Tell me again why I fought for custody of you. You were using me hurt dad. Oh, that’s right. oh, god. Hi. Hey, Susan. Are you busy? Not, not at all, what’s up? Well, I… I just, uh, was wondering if there was any chance that you, uh…I just wanted to ask if…Edie. Hey, there, Susan. What are you…I was making ambrosia. And I made too much so I thought I’d bring some over to Mike. What’s going on? Susan was just going to ask me something. I have a clog. Excuse me? And you’re a plumber, right? yeah. The clog’s in the pipe. Yeah, that’s usually where they are. Well, I’ve got one. OK, let me get my tools. Now? you want to come over now? you have company. I don’t mind. Just give me 2 minutes, I’ll be right over. Just stuff the hair down here. I stuffed it. it’s not enough to clog it. here. OK, look. Put in this peanut butter. And this cooking oil. Mom. And these olives. Mom, I’m telling you, it’s not working. Oh, god, that’s him. How am I going to stop up the sink. Well, here’s your problem. Looks like somebody stuffed a bunch of popsicles sticks down here.。

And for a m oment, Mrs. Huber stood m otionless不动的in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy悲剧. But, only for a moment. If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side.I was laid to rest on a Monday. After the funeral葬礼, all the residents of Wisteria Lane cam e to pay their respects. And as people do in this situation, they brought food.Lynette Scavo brought fried chicken. Lynette had a great family recipe 食谱for fried chicken. Of course, she didn't cook m uch as she was m oving up the corporate ladder. She didn't have the tim e. But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea. Why not quit your job? Kids do much better with stay at hom e mums; it was so m uch less stressful压力大的. But this was not the case事实不是这样. In fact, Lynette's life had becom e so hectic发热的she was now forced to get her chicken from a fast food restaurant. Lynette would have appreciated the irony of it if she stopped to think about it, but she couldn't. She didn't have the tim e.Gabrielle Solis, who lives down the block, brought a spicy paella.

Her husband Carl always teased her about her m acaroni, saying it was the only thing she knew how to cook, and she rarely made it well. It was too salty the night she and Carl moved into their new house. It was too watery the night she found lipstick on Carl's shirt. She burned it the night Carl told her he was leaving her for his secretary.A year had passed since the divorce. Susan was starting to think how nice it would be to have a m an in her life, even one who would m ake fun of her cooking.Lynette shouldn't have been so concerned about m y husband. He had other things on his mind. Things below the surface.The m orning after m y funeral, m y friends and neighbours quietly went back to their busy, busy lives. Som e did their cooking. And som e did their cleaning. And some did their yoga. Others did their homework.Susan knew she was lucky. An eligible合格的bachelor单身男子had moved onto Wisteria Lane, and she was the first to find out. But she also knew that good news travels quickly. Edie Britt was the m ost predatory掠夺的divorcee in a 5 block radius半径. Her conquests were numerous很多的.Varied? And legendary. Susan had m et the enem y, and she was a slut泼妇.And just like that, the race for Mike Delfino had begun. For a m oment, Susan wondered if her rivalry敌对抗with Edie would remain friendly. But she was rem inded that when it cam e to m en? Women don't fight fair.Three days after m y funeral, Lynette replaced her grief with a m uch m ore useful emotion – indignation愤怒.To those who asked it, only one answer was acceptable. So, Lynette responded as she always did - she lied.The sound that awakened m y son was som ething he'd heard only once before, m any years ago, when he was quite young. But he recognized it instantly. It was the sound of family secret.Seven days after m y funeral, life on Wisteria Lane finally returned to norm al. Which, for som e of my friends, was unfortunate.BREE sobbed 哭泣quietly in the bathroom for 5 minutes. But her husband never knew. Because when Bree finally emerged浮现, she was perfect.And just like that, the possibility that Susan had clung onto, the m aybe of Mike Delfino was gone forever. And despite 尽管the precariousness 不安全不稳定of the situation, Susan took a m oment to m ourn哀痛her loss.It didn't take long for Susan to realize, this was just not her night.And just like that, Susan was happy. Life was suddenly full of possibilities. Not to m ention a few unexpe cted surprises.The next day, m y friends cam e together to pack away m y clothes, m y personal belongings, and what was left of m y life. Not quite, Gabrielle, not quite. I'm so sorry, girls. I never wanted you to be burdened负担with this. 第二集An odd thing happens when we die. Our senses感觉vanish. Taste, touch, sm ell and sound becom e a distant memory. But our sight, ah, our sight expands. And we can suddenly see the world we've left behind so clearly. Of course, m ost of what's visible to the dead can also be seen by the living, if they only take the tim e to look. Like m y friend Gabrielle. I should've seen how unhappy she was. But I didn't. I only saw her clothes from Paris; And her platinum白金jewellery; And her brand new diamond watch. Had I looked closer, I've seen that Gabrielle was a drowning淹没的woman, desperately in search of a life raft橡皮艇. Luckily for her, she found one. Of course, Gabrielle only saw her young gardener as a way to infuse注入her life with a little excitem ent. But now, she was about to discover just how exciting her life could get.Gabrielle was panicked. She knew if her husband discovered her secret, she would feel the full force of his wrath 愤怒.The peaceful facade正面表面外观of Wisteria Lane had recently been shattered心烦意乱的. First by my suicide, and then by the discovery of a note am ong my belongings that suggested a suspicious可疑的reason for my desperate act. My friends gathered to discuss its im plications含义.My friends were right to be concerned. They knew that every family has it s secrets. And as my son and husband could've told them, you need to think carefully before digging them up.After talking for hours, m y friends still hadn't agreed on what to do with the note. So, they decided to talk about it in the m orning after a good night's rest. But no one could fall asleep that night. They each kept thinking of m y suicide, and how terribly alone I must've felt. You see, loneliness was som ething my friend's understood all too well.Susan awoke that night alone and parched焦躁的. A nd as she gazed out her window, she saw the tall drink of water she needed to quench压制her thirst.Julie was glad Susan was rekindling再振作her love life. Of course, she was unaware of her m other's recent track record with fire.Doctor Albert Goldfine was the m ost accom plished marriage counsellor顾问in the city. He had dealt with problems ranging from substance abuse, to infidelity无信仰, to dom estic violence家庭暴力. Yes, Dr. Goldfine thought he had seen it all. And then, he m et the Van De Kamp's.Though he's been a policem an for 6 years, Officer Hayes had never found himself in a truly dangerous situation. Then again, he had never before told a wom an how to raise her children.For John, this was no longer a meaningless无意义的l ittle affair. Gabrielle could now clearly see he was falling in love with her.Susan suddenly had an awful可怕的feeling in the pit of her stom ach. As if she was watching an accident in slow m otion. She knew it would happen, but was powerless 无力的to stop it.As I watched Susan, I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She wanted so m uch to know why I did it. Why I killed myself. It's not enough to want the truth. You m ust know where to look for it. And the truth is elusive难懂的,难捉摸的, because it knows where to hide.For the first tim e, Lynette could see this was not the innocent play of children. She was being challenged. So she decided it was tim e to get creative.Gabrielle could see what this gesture had cost Carlos, so she responded the only way she knew how.She had a feeling the truth would've been lost on her husband anyway. After all, it's the rare m an who understands the value of a single, perfect rose.Round one第一回合had started. It was everything Susan could do to keep a smile on her face. Round two was under way, and she was already taking a beating.What Edie hadn't c ounted on was Susan had som eone else in her corner.Susan was furious狂怒的at Edie for using a dog to ingratiate 讨好herself with its owner. She was also furious with Mike for not seeing through this blatant喧闹的manoeuvre演习. But m ostly, she was furious at herself for not having thought of it first.And just like that, Susan could suddenly see som et hing she's never seen before. Mike Delfino was still in love with his late wife. And she knew right then, that neither she nor Edie would be laying claim to his heart anytim e soon. So, she decided, for now, she could settle for just being his friend.Yes, as I look back at the world I left behind, it's all so clear to m e. The beauty that waits to be unveiled显露, the m ysteries that long to be uncovered. But, people so rarely stop to take a look. They just keep m oving. It's a sham e, really. There's so much to see.第三集Susan took dating tips from her 12 year old daughter. Bree accidentally poisoned her husband. Lynette indulged沉溺于in creative parenting. While Gabrielle indulged in the company of her gardener. And everybody's wondering-Why their best friend just killed herself. Everyone has a little dirty laundry.After I died, I began to surrender交出投向the parts of m yself that were no longer necessary. My desires, beliefs, am bitions, doubts, every trace痕迹of m y humanity人性was discarded抛弃. I discovered when m oving through eternity, it helps to travel lightly. In fact, I held on to only one thing - m y memory. It's astonishing to look back on the world I left behind. I remember it all, every single detail. Like m y friend, Bree Van De Kamp. I remember the easy confidence of her smile,the gentle elegance优雅of her hands,the refined精确的优雅的warm t h of her voice.But what I rem ember m ost about Bree-was the look of fear in her eyes.Bree had started to realize her world was unravelling阐明解释,散开, and for a wom an who despised轻视loose ends, that was unacceptable.Yes Bree was afraid of m any things,but there was one thing she wasn’t afraid of-It was challenge.The day on Wisteria Lane began like any other, with a cup of coffee and the m orning paper. And while Lynette read the business section- And Gabrielle studied the fall collections-And Bree searched for decorating ideas.Susan scanned the front page and saw som ething that caught her eye.Gabrielle spent her morning searching for the m ysterious little girl. Sadly for her, the m ystery was solved a bit too quickly.And the next day, Gabrielle calm ed her own nerves by giving som ething to her new best friend.After her talk with Lynette, Susan decided to take a look at her old photo album. And she began to see herself in a whole new light. And the picture wasn't flattering讨人喜欢的.Susan was proud of herself. She was finally ready to let go of her anger. Well, almost.It was in that mom ent that Gabrielle realized this ride was far from over.On Wisteria Lane, an unsettled Susan racked her brain to find a way into her own house.Lying naked in her shrubs矮树, it occurred to Susan that this could be the m ost humiliating丢脸moment of her life.Bree searched for Rex's audio tape, hoping to find answers. She found answers, all right. But to an entirely different question.Yes, I rem ember the world. Every detail. And what I rem ember most is how afraid I was. What a waste. You see, to live in fear is not to live at all. I wish I could tell this to those I left behind, but would it do any good? Probably not. I understand now there will always be those who face their fears, and there will always be those who run away.第四集Susan played with fire-And could get burned .Gabrielle found herself a playmate.Whilst同时Lynette couldn't get her kids to stop playing. And Bree played hardball. Everyone has a little dirty laundry.When I was alive I maintained many different identit ies.Lover, wife and ultimately终极的最终victim. Yes, labels are important to the living, they dictate命令支配how people see them selves, like my friend Lynette. She used to see herself as a career woman, and a hugely巨大的successful one at that. She was known for her power lunches. Her eye catching 迷人的presentations. And her ruthlessness无情冷酷at wiping 消除out the competition. But Lynette gave up all that to assum e a new label. The incredibly难以置信的satisfying role of full time mother. But unfortunately for Lynette this new label frequently fell short of what was advertised.It suddenly occurred to Lynette that her label was about to change again. And that for the next few years she would be known as the m other of the boys who painted Tiffany Astelrod blue.It looked to be an interesting afternoon on wisteria lane. A mysterious cassette tape had been discovered by my friend Bree. She had stolen it from her m arriage counsellor顾问, a counsellor I had once spoken to in strictest confidence.I had the night m are again.Yes. But this tim e I was standing in a river and I saw the girl under the water and she kept scream ing "Angela"over and over again.Actually,that’s m y real name.Gabrielle knew her vacation from the world had ended. What she didn't know was that John had left behind a souvenir.纪念品In that m oment, Lynette m ade a decision. When it cam e to dealing with her children--m edication was no longer an option. Of course, given her continuing bundle of frustration挫折, Lynette also felt that a little "self medication"couldn't hurt.What type of person would send such a note? Was it an enem y? Of course. But what kind? An acquaintance?A stranger?Or how about a neighbour that lives a few feet away?第五集Ultimatums基本原理,最后通牒were m ade-Questions were asked- And lots of evidence was uncovered Every neighbourhood has a wom an like Alberta Fom e. And every wom an like Mrs Fom e has a cat. When she travelled, Mrs Fome would arrange for friends to look after her beloved 喜爱的pet. This tim e, she was forced to ask her neighbour Susan Mayer. Mrs Fom e liked Susan. But it was common knowledge on Wisteria Lane that wherever Susan Mayer went, bad luck was sure to follow. Her m isfortunes不幸ranged from the common place- -To the unusual- -To the truly bizarre奇异的.As she waved goodbye, she worried that Susan's streak of bad luck would continue. For that m atter, so did her cat. Though she didn't know it at the tim e Susan's luck-..had finally started to change.News that an intruder入侵者had breached破坏侵害the security安全of Wisteria Lane spread like wildfire. At a neighbourhood watch m eeting the next night, residents居民voiced their concerns over the increasing增加dangers their community faced.Mrs Eida Greenberg announced that som eone was looking through her bathroom window whenever she took a shower.Bob Fisk warned those present that an unnam ed government agency was listening in to their phone conversations. Helen veil spoke of a ruthless local teenage gang that had egged her mini van货车.The evening concluded with Officer Thompson offering safety tips and a plan of action.The next day as residents began to patrol 巡逻Wisteria Lane in the hope of foiling击退potential burglars窃贼, Gabrielle was about to experience a hom e invasion侵犯of her own.Whilst the residents of Wisteria Lane kept up their patrols巡逻in an effort to prevent future break-ins, Lynette hatched策划a plan to break her children into Barcliff Academ y.People by their very nature are always on the lookout for intruders入侵者.Trying to prevent those on the outside getting in. But there will always be those who force their way into our lives.Just as there will be those that we invite in.But the most troubling of all will be the ones that stand on the outside looking in. The one s we never truly get to know.第六集Secrets were revealed.Relationships got complicated.And the m ystery...deepened.Suburbia郊区,郊区居民is a battleground, an arena舞台for all forms of dom estic com bat. Husbands clash 冲突with wives, parents cross swords武力,战争with children, but the bloodiest血腥的battles often involve wom en and their m others-in-law.The war for control of Carlos began the night he proposed计划, and Gabrielle had been losing ground to Juanita ever since. From the prenuptial agreement which she reluctantly不情愿的signed, to the selection of wedding music she despised轻视, the color of the house paint she hadn't wanted ... Gabrielle had suffered one defeat after another. And now that Juanita suspected her daughter-in-law of having an affair, it had becam e increasingly apparent that in this war......no prisoners would be taken.Sadly for Juanita, she had ignored the first rule of war...never underestimate低估your enemy!Of the m any suburban郊外的rituals仪式,典礼, none is quite so cherished as the neighborhood yard sale. The shoppers顾客com e to sift through the discarded belongings of someone they don't really know, in hopes of finding bargains they don't really need, each so determined to save a few pennies, they often miss hiddentreasures...She was convinced he was deliberately故意的谨慎的从容的hiding Zach, and hiding the truth. She hoped that finding one would lead to the other. To succeed, Susan would have to be evasive逃避的托辞的herself.Juanita m ight have been the gambler of the family.But Gabrielle was the one who knew how to bluff虚张声势,吓唬.That night, while m ost of Wisteria Lane dreamt the night away, Lynette was in the middle of her own personal night m are. Determined her boys would not miss their fairy tale仙女故事debut, Lynette stayed up 18 hours staright, sewing. But she began to fear her story would not have a happy ending.Luckily for Lynette, she had a magic potion handy.And once she had taken it...the m agic kept working.......and working......and working.It wasn't until noon that lynette finally took a break. And the reality of what she had done began to sink in.Juanita was now m ore convinced than ever that her treacherous背叛的e daughter-in-law was having an affair. But the question rem ained, with whom?And suddenly, Juanita remembered it wasn't the m en Gabrielle talked to that she had to worry about.The search for power begins when we're quite young. As children, we're taught that the power of good triumphs胜利over the power of evil.But as we get older, we realize that nothing is ever that simple. Traces of evil always remain...第七集Som e secrets were uncovered...And som e secrets......were shared.Competition竞争. It m eans different things to different people. In Suburbia, it m eans keeping up with the Jones's. On Wisteria Lane, that m eans keeping up with Bree Van de Kamp. Everyone knew Bree had the nicest lawn草坪in the neighborhood. And no one begrudged her this. No one, that is, except Martha Huber, whose own lawn paled in com parison. No matter how carefully she trimmed修剪... ...or how lovingly she watered... ...or how generously she fertilized施肥... ...the grass was always greener on the other side of the fence围墙.Ye s. Mrs. Huber understood the first rule of competition. In order to win, you have to want it m ore...When I was alive, m y friends and I cam e together once a m onth for a m eeting of the Wisteria Lane Book Club. We found the problems of literary characters so absorbing...the way they dealt with adversity不幸,厄运......conducted illicit非法的,不正当的affairs......endured domestic dramas......and planned romantic conquests.But since m y death, m y friends had lost their interest in fiction. Their own problems had becom e absorbing enough.Luckily for Tom, Lynette ha d a recipe for success…unfortunately for her, she was m issing the secret ingredient 成分.Paul had always known Edie Brit was capable of doing anything to close a deal.But now he realized she was capable of so much m ore.As Lynette swallowed the stolen m edication of an eight-year-old child, she vowed she'd never again sink to such depths...... any tim e soon.While Lynette was commanding everyone's attention......Susan was trying to rem ain inconspicuous.不显眼的As Juanita hovered dangerously close to the white light, Lynette and Tom were heading into a black void空间.Com petition, it m eans different things to different people. But whether it's a friendly rivalry......or a fight to the death,the end result is the sam e. There will be winners -and there will be losers.Of course, the trick诡计is to know which battles to fight. You see, no victory com es without a price.第八集Som e neighbors hired help.And som e helped them selves.Some just couldn't stop.And one didn't stop in tim e.There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner罪人. Of course, not everyone who reads this book feels guilt over the bad things that they do.But Bree Van de Kamp did. In fact, Bree had spent m ost of her life, feeling guilty.As a child, she felt guilty about not getting straight "A"s...As a teenager, she felt guilty about letting her boyfriend go to second base...As a newlywed新婚的人, she felt guilty about taking three weeks to get out her thank-you cards...she knew the transgressions违法,罪过of her past were nothing com pared with the sin过失she was about to commit.Bree knew what she was about to do was wrong, but like m ost sinners罪人, she would worry about her guilt tom orrow.Not since m y own suicide had violence intruded闯入upon the serenity 晴朗of life on Wisteria Lane in such a conspicuous显著的,出众的fashion. And needless to say, m y friends attacked the problem head on.Lynettebrought the broom扫帚. Susan brought the trash垃圾bags. And Bree brought the industrial strength solvent溶剂.Like every city, Fairview had a neighborhood that was less than desirable. It was an accepted fact: anyone who lingered逗留there after midnight was usually up to no good. Rex and Bree Van de Kamp were no exception 例外.A weary疲倦的Lynette drank her potent有效的tea in hopes of finally finding the sleep that had eluded逃避her. Unfortunately for Lynette, there would be no rest for the weary.While Susan was hopelessly stuck, Gabrielle was moving to confront the issue of her young lover's restless conscience.Although she would need to be discrete离散的.There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone feels guilt over the bad things they do.In contrast对比, there are those who assum e more than their share of the blam e.There are others, who sooth真实的温柔的抚慰的their consciences良心with sm all acts of kindness.Or by telling themselves their sins were justified情有可原的e.Finally, there are the ones who simply vow to do better next tim e, and pray for forgiveness.Sometimes, their prayers are answered.第九集One said goodbye...One almost lost it...And one got exactly确实的what she deserved.Gabrielle was waiting for her next great idea. Her first great idea cam e when she was fifteen, after her stepfather继父paid her a late-night visit. She bought a bus ticket to New York the very next day. Her ne xt occurred five years later when she decided to seduce 诱惑a fam ous fashion photographer. One week later, she began her career as a runway m odel, which soon led to her next great idea--her decision to m arry Carlos Solis.Before she knew it, she had jumped off the runway and m oved to the suburbs郊区. Her most recent great idea was born out of her boredo m无聊with her new life. That's how she cam e to start an affair with her teenage gardener, which was cut short by a tragic悲惨的accident. So once again, Gabrielle was in need of a great idea.It was then that Gabrielle got her next great idea.She decided to throw the first annual Sacred宗教的Heart Charity Fashion Show, to raise m oney for m ore nursing staff.And that night, when she went to bed, Gabrielle slept like a baby.News of the fashion show spread quickly on Wisteria Lane. Though the event was for charity, Gabrielle soon discovered that when it cam e to the latest fashions, wom en are seldom charitable慈悲的. No one knew this better than Edie Britt. She understood that treachery背叛never goes out of style.Sadly for Mrs. Huber, this was no longer the case.Since the accident, Bree had started to worry that her son's sense of morality道德was going up in smoke.Bree had given Lynette the low down on Valley View Park. It was a gathering place for upscale nannies and their young charges. It was Lynette's first tim e there, and she was determined not to go hom e alone.Of course, Lynette had high standards, so making a connection......wasn't easy. Still, she was desperate to find that special som eone...And that's exactly who she found.From the moment she saw her......Lynette knew she had to have her.Bree had resorted求助,经常去to extrem e measures to save her son's soul. As she rummaged搜查t hrough Andrew's private possessions......it occurred to her that som etimes a little betrayal is good for the soul.Elsewhere在别处, another darker secret was the object of an investigation.调查Gabrielle believed there was an excellent chance Helen Rowland would inform Carlos of his wife's extram arital 婚外的,私通的activities. Gabrielle knew she had to com e clean.People are com plicated creatures复杂的动物. On the one hand, able to perform great acts of charity.On the other, capable of the m ost underhanded秘密的,人手不足的,卑劣的forms of betrayal.It's a constant不变的battle that ranges within all of us, between the better angels of our nature, and the tem ptation诱惑of our inner dem ons 魔鬼,残忍的人.And sometimes the only way to ward守护保卫off the darkness.....is to shine照耀the light of com passion同情,怜悯.第十集Som etimes...No m atter how hard you try...Som e problems......can't be easily solved.To understand Maisy Gibbons, you first need to know how she spent her afternoons.Her m ornings were spent running errands任务for her husband. Her evenings were spent washing dishes and helping with homework.But her afternoons, well, they were spent in the com pany of m en.Frustrated. Misunderstood. Lonely m en. Willing to pay m oney to feel a little less lonely. And Maisy Gibbons was willing to help them.Every m orality play has its cast of characters. There is always an innocent victim...a deceitful villain坏人...aprosecutor告发者who seeks the truth...a m agistrate that dispenses分发分配,免除justice...and a lawyer律师who charges too m uch.This morality play was being produced at the Fairview County Courthouse. Its them es 主题were trust and betrayal.The next m orning started with a banging.猛击No one knew where Martha Huber was, and Edie Britt was starting to worry. Edie didn't like worrying. She felt it gave her wrinkles皱纹. So, out of concern for her face and Mrs. Huber, Edie decided to find out what was going on.Later that day, while Claire was out getting the boys wired on ice cream, Lynett e did som e wiring of her own.As Claire prepared for bed, she was unaware that som ewhere else in the Scavo house, the day she had just finished, was starting all over again.Lynette was relieved to see that Claire was doing a good job. And after further viewing, it dawned on Lynette...Claire might be doing her job...a little too well.As Gabrielle considered the vast em ptiness of her new surroundings, she was surprised to find there was only one thing she truly missed. Her husband.That night, Lynette settled in to watch her personal pick for feel-good m ovie of the year.Trust is a fragile thing...Once earned, it affords us trem endous freedom.But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover.Of course the truth is, we never know who we can t rust. Those we're closest to can betray us.And total strangers can com e to our rescue.In the end, m ost people decide to trust only them selves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned.第十一集Suspicion ended in tragedy.Trust......was put on trial.And ex-husband......was replaced.And everyone......was getting in over their heads.Edie Britt could never understand why she didn't have any fem ale friends. Of course, she always tried to tell people she didn't need any, but the truth was, it bothered Edie that other women didn't seem to like her. Even after m oving to Wisteria Lane, Edie couldn't understand why her neighbors kept their distance.And then she met Martha Huber.Within five minutes, Mrs. Huber m anaged to disparage what Edie was wearing. In fact, whenever they got together, Mrs. Huber insulted her. She m ade fun of everything from Edie's m akeup to her taste in m en. Yes, Martha Huber could be cruel, offensive, and downright m ean. But Ed ie didn't care, because she was the first real friend Edie Britt had ever had. But now Martha Huber was missing. She had vanished without a trace, and Edie was not em barrassed to admit, she needed her back.It was in that mom ent that Edie finally saw the fa m ily resemblance.Mrs. Huber was missing. The words echoed down Wisteria Lane until every last resident was aware of her disappearance. By noon, dozens of neighbors had gathered. Some cam e to volunteer, som e cam e in sym pathy, and som e, cam e to learn exactly what the police knew and what they didn't.The next m orning while the search for Martha Huber continued, Lynette discovered a little family secret. One she wasn't even looking for.As the word's 'Constant Care' echoed in her head, Bree caught a sickening glimpse into her future,which prompted her to seek an old-fashioned remedy.In spite of Mrs. Huber's disappearance, life on Wisteria Lane started to return to normal. Until an intriguing discovery was m ade on a dirt road next to the interstate.As news spread of this m ysterious development, everyone in the neighborhood decided to band t ogether, to show their support, and to look for clues. Or worse.In spite of her mounting debt, Gabrielle was determined to prove she could get along just fine without Carlos' money.It wasn't until the electricity went out that she finally began to see the light.As the police interviewed the residents of Wisteria Lane about the m ysterious disappearance of Martha Huber, my husband, Paul, reasoned it would only be a m atter of tim e before their digging would begin to yield answers. Since he knew the police had no suspects, he decided to point them to the m ost logical candidate.You see, if there's one thing that Paul understood about the suburbs, it was t his:No one's ever m ore suspicious than a new neighbor who's just m oved in.We are all searching for som eone. That special person who will provide us what's missing in our lives. Som eone who can offer com panionship...or assistance...or security...And sometimes if we search very hard, we can find。
绝望的主妇1BREE: Paul, Zachary.ZACH: Hello Mrs. Van De Kamp.P AUL: Bree, you shouldn't have gone to all this trouble.(PAUL extends his hands to take the baskets from BREE, who moves the baskets out of his reach as he tries to take them from her.)BREE: It was no trouble at all. Now the basket with the red ribbon (holds up the basket) is filled with desserts for your guests. But the one with the blue ribbon (holds up the other basket) is just for you and Zachary. It's got rolls, muffins, breakfast type things.P AUL: Thank you.BREE: Well, the least I could do is make sure you boys had a decent meal to look forward to in the morning.

Her husband Karl always teased her about her macaroni, saying it wasthe only thing she knew how to cook, and she rarely made it well.

But yeah, that's a great example.(Cut to: YOUNG HOUSE - LIVING ROOM -- WAKE --- DAY SU SAN and JULIE walkin the front door. SUSAN puts the dish down on the table and takes the tinfoil off .

And what do most women lead, lives of noisy fulfillment?GABRIELLE: (raises her eyebrows) Hmm.MARY ALICE: Good for you.SUSAN: I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary? I hadthat woman over for brunch. GABRIELLE: It's like my grandmother always said,an erect penis doesn't have a conscience.L YNETTE: Even the limp ones aren't that ethical.BREE: This is half the reason I joined the NRA. (SUSAN looks at her.) Well, when Rex started going to those medical conferences, I wanted at the back ofhis mind that he had a loving wife at home, with a loaded Smith and Wesson.MARY ALICE: Lynnie?

He needs us to go through Mary Alice's closet, and help pack up her things. He says he can't face doing it by himself.SUSAN: Sure, that's fine.BREE: Are you OK?SUSAN: Yeah. I'm just so angry. If Mary Alice was having problems, she should have come to us; she should have let us help her.GABRIELLE: What kind of problems could she have had? She was healthy, had a great home, a nice family. Her life was? -L YNETTE: -our life.GABRIELLE: No, if Mary Alice was having some sort of crisis, we'd have known. She lives 50 feet away, for god's sakes.SUSAN: Gabby, the woman killed herself. Something must've been going on.(They all look down and consider this point, as P AUL, unseen, leans against the living room doorway, eavesdropping on their conversation.

GABRIELLE jogs past a fence on the sidewalk.Pan to:(EXT.YOUNG HOUSE - FRONT YARD)(MARY ALICE comes out of her front door and down the porch steps, carrying a basket of flowers. She kneels in front of her flowerbed, and smells a flower, smiling faintly.)NARRATOR: My name is Mary Alice Young. When you read this morning's paper, you may come across an article about the unusual day I had last week. Normally, there's never anything newsworthy about my life. That all changed last Thursday. Of course everything seemed as normal at first. I made my breakfast for my family.(Cut to:MARY ALICE, carrying a plate of waffles to the breakfast table, where PAUL and ZACH are sitting.

She sighs with satisfaction, a contented smile on her face.)NARRATOR: That's why it was so astonishing when I decided to go to my hallway closet to retrieve a revolver that had never been used.(Cut to:MARY ALICE takes a box off a shelf in the closet. Looking worried and distraught, she shakily puts a revolver to her temple. We see a finger pulling the trigger, and a loud shot is heard. The camera stays on the YOUNG family picture, as the blurred reflection of MARY ALICE is shown in the frame of the picture falling to the ground.)(Cut to: MRS. HUBER'S HOUSE - KITCHEN)(MRS. HUBER's finger dips into a pool of red sauce (resembling blood). She licks the sauce on her finger, as she turns her head towards the YOUNG house, puzzled by the sound she's heard.)NARRATOR: My body was discovered by my neighbour, Mrs. Martha Huber, who had been startled by a strange popping sound. Her curiosity aroused, Mrs. Huber tried to think of a reason for dropping in on me unannounced. After some initial hesitation, she decided to return the blender she had borrowed from me 6 months before.(MRS. HUBER takes a blender labeled Property of MARY ALICE YOUNG off a shelf, and hurries next door to ring the doorbell. Hearing no answer, she hurries to the side of the house, where she peers inside thewindow and sees MARY ALICE's dead body lying on the ground, a pool of blood next to her. She screams. We see MRS. HUBER hurry back to her own house.)MRS HUBER: (on the phone) It's my neighbour. I think she's been shot, there's blood everywhere. Yes, you've got to send an ambulance. You've got to send one right now!(MRS. HUBER hangs up the phone. She stands in the kitchen, lips trembling, fighting tears.) NARRATOR: And for a moment, Mrs. Huber stood motionless in her kitchen, grief-stricken by this senseless tragedy. But, only for a moment.(MRS. HUBER turns her head sideways, noticing the blender sitting on the kitchen counter.She rips the label off the blender, and puts it back on her shelf.)NARRATOR: If there was one thing Mrs. Huber was known for, it was her ability to look on the bright side.

Lynette had a great family recipe for fried chicken. (Flashback to: LYNETTE talking animatedly in a conference room as she points at a projected screen with charts and figures, a room full of corporate businesspeople taking notes or watching as she shows her presentation, smiling with confidence.)NARRATOR: Of course, she didn't cook much as she was moving up the corporate ladder. She didn't have the time.(Fade to: The doctor's office, where he performs a sonogram on LYNETTE's exposed belly, as LYNETTE lies in a chair watching the screen, laughing with excitement. Her husband, TOM, sits next to her as he watches with amazement at the sonogram, holding LYNETTE's hand.)NARRATOR: But when her doctor announced Lynette was pregnant, her husband Tom had an idea. Why not quit your job?

Look, just work it into the conversation.GABRIELLE: There's no way I can just work that in, Carlos.CARLOS: Why not? At the Donohue party, everyone was talking about mutual funds.

And what do most women lead, lives of noisy fulfillment?GABRIELLE: (raises her eyebrows) Hmm.MARY ALICE: Good for you.SUSAN: I mean, of all people, did he have to bang his secretary?

Tom's always away on business. Do you ever worry he might..?LYNETTE: Oh, please, the man's gotten me pregnant three times in four years. I wish he was having sex with someone else.

Her life was?-LYNETTE: -our life.GABRIELLE: No, if Mary Alice was having some sort of crisis, we'd have known. She lives 50 feet away, for god's sakes.SUSAN: Gabby, the woman killed herself. Something must've been going on.(They all look down and consider this point, as PAUL, unseen, leans against the living room doorway, eavesdropping on their conversation.
