1
Previously on "desperate housewives,"

2
Susan played with fire...

3
that's not my cup.

4
And could get burned.

5
Go to a spa or go shopping.
Find a way to relax.

6
- Gabrielle...
- Get here as fast as you can.

7
...found herself a playmate.

8
Lynette couldn't get her kids to stop playing.

9
Ma'am, you know why I pulled you over?

10
Yeah, I have a theory.

11
If I don't start getting some sleep pretty soon,

12
I'll be forced to move back
upstairs out of sheer exhaustion1.

13
And Bree played hardball.

14
Everyone has a little dirty laundry.

15
When I was alive, I maintained
many different identities --

16
lover, wife, and ultimately, victim.

17
Yes, labels are important to the living.

18
They dictate2 how people see themselves,

19
like my friend Lynette.

20
She used to see herself as a career woman,

21
and a hugely successful one at that.

22
She was known for her power lunches,

23
her eye-catching presentations,

24
and her ruthlessness in wiping out the competition.

25
But Lynette gave up her career to assume a new label --

26
the incredibly satisfying role of full-time3 mother.

27
Scavo residence.

28
Yes, this is me.

29
But unfortunately for Lynette,

30
this new label frequently fell
short of what was advertised.

31
How in the world did they...

32
I left the door to the art supply
cupboard open for five minutes.

33
That's all.

34
Five minutes.

35
The little girl --
why didn't she say anything?

36
Your boys work quickly.

37
Well...obviously, they will
be punished for this -- severely4.

38
I hesitate bringing this up, since
you got so ugly about it last time...

39
they don't have attention-deficit disorder5,

40
and I'm not going to drug my boys
just to make your job easier.

41
I'd rather change teachers.

42
The boys are in my class because I'm
the only teacher who can handle them.

43
What if we separate the twins?

44
Put them in different classes?

45
They're much calmer when they're
not bouncing off one another.

46
We can try that.

47
But if it doesn't work, we may
no longer be able to accommodate them.

48
It suddenly occurred to Lynette
her label was about to change yet again...

49
come on.

50
And for the next few years,
she would be known as...
