51
endured domestic dramas,
52
and planned romantic conquests.
53
But since my death, my friends had
lost their interest in fiction.
54
So... what did everybody think?
55
Their own problems had become absorbing enough.
56
I thought the character of Madame
Bovary was very inspirational.
57
Inspirational?
58
She poisons herself with arsenic1.
59
Really?
60
You didn't read until the end?
61
I stopped after page 50.
62
Am I the only one who read the book?
63
I saw the movie.
It was really good.
64
Ladies, I'm sorry, but
65
what is the point of having a book club
if we don't read the book?
66
More wine?
67
So, uh, Reba, Emma, and Laurie,
68
would you girls come to the kitchen
and help me with the snacks?
69
Sure.
70
I will be right in.
71
God, I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
72
Okay,
73
so Lynette said that you found Zach.
74
He's at a rehabilitation2 center,
75
and Julie snuck in and actually talked to him.
76
Did he say anything about his mother's suicide?
77
There wasn't enough time, but he did say
one thing that was kind of mysterious.
78
He said something happened to someone named Dana,
79
and that he could never, ever talk about it.
80
Who the hell's Dana?
81
That's the mystery part.
82
I figure Dana has something to do with
what Mary Alice was trying to hide.
83
So somebody found out Mary Alice's secret...
84
and sent the note.
85
So who the hell is that?
86
The stationery3 is parchment
number 17, 100% cotton.
87
It's made by Cypress4 Office Products.
88
They have stores in 12 cities, including yours.
89
Now, I traced that postmark
back to your local post office.
90
Meaning?
91
Meaning that the blackmailer5 is
probably someone you know --
92
a neighbor, milkman...
93
pool boy, soccer mom.
94
Soccer mom?
95
Mr. Young, sometimes evil drives a minivan.
96
I had this gig once
97
tracking down this PTA mom who was hell-bent on landing her daughter
98
a spot on the parade float.
99
Fed antifreeze to half the homecoming committee.
100
Did you catch her?
