Previously on Desperate Housewives, Mrs. McCluskey had reached her limit.

Five kids are tough enough, but your husband made six. That's where I draw

line.

An old friend paid Adam a visit.

Sylvia. Aren't you going to invite me in?

After you ruined my life? I don't think so.

You should have told the truth about us.

Mike got help from an unexpected source.

Victor laughed out. Get up!

And Carlos and Gabby. We need to ask a few questions.

Sorry? I guess I don't remember anything.

Finally met their match.

I remembered everything.

It was supposed to be a beautiful day.

Kids should have been playing in the park.

Husbands should have been doing their chores.

Women should have been tending their flowers.

But at 2 .26 that afternoon, a tornado came to Wisteria Lane.

Bring with it?

Unbelievable.

Disgusting.

No one could have anticipated it.

given how the day started.

Sorry, can you say that again? I don't think I heard you right.

Carlos and I are back together.

Gabby, you just got married.

And some of us gave you very expensive wedding gifts.

You want the fondue set back? Fine, but don't act like it cost a bundle because

it clearly didn't.

I got you the fondue set.

Oh, right.

It's nice.

Oh, my God.

He's going to kill Edie. You would think so, but no such luck.

That vindictive hag told Victor everything.

Victor knows?

Yeah, and seeing how he's the rich mayor of a small town with various thugs and

cops at his disposal, Carlos and I thought it would be safer if we got the

out of Dodge.

You're leaving Fairview?

Yeah, this afternoon.

No. You can't be serious.

Look, we'll be back.

Some day, we just have to wait till this all blows over.

I can't believe this.

I know this is a loudly way to say goodbye, and I'm sorry, but I don't have

choice.

Do you guys have any idea how much I'm going to miss you?

Hey, you heard the news?

A tornado just hit Mount Pleasant, and they think we could get one, too.

Y 'all better head inside and start getting ready.

You guys go.

Yeah, and we don't need to say goodbye anyway, because we're going to see you

real soon.

And everything will be just the way it was.

Sadly, this was not to be.

In four short hours, one of these women would lose a husband, and all of them

would lose a friend.

But how could they have known this?

It was supposed to be.

A beautiful day.

By noon that day, a tornado watch was in effect on Wisteria Lane, and every one

of its residents was preparing for the storm.

Everyone, that is, except Gabrielle Solis.

who was more concerned about another storm on the horizon.

Mayor Lang, recovering from his injuries, will reportedly be released

hospital tomorrow.

Until then, the deputy mayor will be coordinating Fairview's emergency

as the city remains on tornado watch.

I turned off the gas and locked your car in the garage. I'm going to go grab my

passport from the safe deposit box before they close the bank.

What's wrong?

They said Victor's getting out of the hospital.

Tomorrow. Relax.

We're going to be gone before they give him his last bunch bath.

And remember, the accountant's dropping off the papers for my Cayman Island

account. I can't deal with that right now. I'm packing.

Gabby, those documents give us access to $10 million.

Multitask.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I told you just to pack the essentials.

That's what I'm doing.

Is that a boa?

Carlos, if you were taking me somewhere where I don't need a boa, then I don't

want to go.

Fine.

You could be a little bit more sensitive. I had to say goodbye to my

today. Yes, I'm sorry.

I should probably go over and say something to Edie. Like what?

Rot in hell, you maggoty whore?

That woman ruined our lives. If she had kept her mouth shut, we wouldn't be

running away.

I know, but I can't help feeling a little guilty.

I mean, do you ever even think about what we did to Edie? Who cares?

Thanks to her, I'm giving up my home, my friends, half my wardrobe. So do me a

favor and never mention her name again. Unless it's followed by the phrase, that

conniving skank.

You think you can do that?

Hey, Lynette. Hi. Did you hear they declared a tornado watch?

Scary, huh?

Yeah, well, don't worry about me. I'm ready for anything.

It's sweet of you to drop by, though.

Oh, yeah.

You're welcome.

Can we stay in your basement?

What? Well, if this tornado watch gets upgraded to a warning, we're going to

need a place to wait it out.

Who exactly is we?

We, me, Tom, the kids.

That family you've come to know and love.

All seven of you? Yeah.

Well, first of all, I only love four of you.

And second, no way in hell.

McCluskey, please.

It's a small basement, Lynette. I've already invited Ida over.

We just want to play some cards and wait this thing out in peace and quiet.

We can be quiet.

Relative to the storm.

Look, there's a shelter over at Third and Grove. Why don't you go over there?

That's in the middle of Skid Row. You think I want my kids around a bunch of

winos? Ida's off the wagon. It's not going to be much better here.

I am asking you as a friend, please.

You're not going to let this thing go, are you?

Thanks. And don't worry, I'll have a talk with my kids. I promise they'll

lid on the destruction.

Relative to the storm.

Yeah.

Dylan, we're fine.

It's a tornado bot.

No.

You paid a lot of money for this class trip, and I want you to stay and enjoy

it. Tell Julie I'll keep an eye on her mom.

Gotta go.

What the hell are you doing here?

I just came to talk to Adam.

I like your hair long.

This is harassment.

I won't call the police.

I don't think so.

You'd have to tell them what happened with me and your husband.

You don't want people knowing about that.

In case you'd forgotten, Adam wants nothing to do with you.

Oh?

Didn't seem that way yesterday.

He didn't tell you I'd stop by?

Uh -oh.

I hope he's not starting to keep things from you.

Again.

Here, I brought you a few things in case there is a tornado.

Wow, tape, batteries, a radio.

How'd you know I need this stuff? An educated guest.

Hey, actually, since you're here, I was thinking that maybe it would be a good

idea to tell Orson about Mike's, you know, drug problem.

Good, because I already told him.

You did? When?

Last week.

I was afraid that Mike might go to Orson for pills.

I'm sorry, so Orson already knows about Mike?

Did I do something wrong?

No. No, you didn't do anything wrong.

Thanks. I

don't believe a word

you say.

So you still don't think I slept with Adam? Of course not.

Oh, well, let me paint a picture for you.

Me lying in his arms, him wondering out loud how he ended up marrying such a

cold, hard bitch.

Catherine, are you all right? I couldn't help noticing. Of course you couldn't.

And everything's fine.

Thank you.

Hi there. I don't mean to intrude, but are you all right?

Not really, no.

Would you like a nice cup of tea?

The National Weather Service has extended the tornado watch to the Tri

area. Funnel clouds have been spotted in the counties of Mansfield and... I

can't believe you're being so nice.

You don't even know me. Well, I know Catherine, and believe me, you're not

only person I've seen her reduce to tears.

Did you see her spit on me?

Yeah. That was unfortunate.

If you need any antibacterial soap, I... No, I'm good.

So, um, why on earth would Catherine treat you so dreadfully?

Oh, she's just mad because her husband's in love with me.

I was one of his patients back in Chicago.

From the moment we met, there was this intense passion.

We tried to fight it, but we couldn't.

Well, you're only human.

I know he's miserable without me, even though she tries to pretend that they're

happy.

I mean, you're their neighbor.

You think they're happy?

Well, they seem content.

Well, they're not.

It was just an observation.

Yeah, a stupid one.

Okay.

This has been lovely.

We really should do it again sometime.

You think I'm making this up?

We were lovers. I can prove it. He has a snake tattoo on his right shoulder.

I licked it.

Be that as it may, I really think you should go now. No one believes me.

She has you all brainwashed.

Sylvia, where are you going?

Sylvia, you need to come out of there.

Ask Adam. He'll tell you the truth.

Well, Adam is not here, and there is a tornado coming.

And as you may have gleaned from the batteries and bottled water, that

is where we are planning on riding it out.

I need to talk.

Susan, I'm with a patient.

Yeah, I can see that. Hi, I'm his neighbor.

I'm curious, why the hell would you give Mike drugs?

Uh, Mrs.

Kowalski, we're going to step out for just a moment.

No need. I'll be quick, because I'm sure you have a very good reason for giving

Mike pills when you know that he has a drug problem.

So, what is your very good reason?

Okay, this may take a while. You might want to spit.

Mike was having a lot of pain with his shoulder.

Oh, of course. And you know all about shoulder pain, being a dentist.

I thought I was helping. By giving pills to an addict?

Does that sound helpful to you, Mrs. Glossy? Ah.

Thank you. Finally, some sanity.

Susan, you have to leave.

Fine.

But you know, if I find out that you have given Mike so much as a breath

Trust me, there is not enough Novocaine in this office to numb the pain I will

inflict on you.

Hi, Miss Britt.

Need some bottled water before the storm hits?

Well, thanks, Jeremy.

Twenty bucks.

Hold it.

You are price scouting right before a tornado?

I was just trying to make some money.

You really want to make some money?

Go hit up Gabrielle Solis. She hasn't met a price tag she doesn't like.

I already tried.

She and Mr. Solis are moving.

Moving?

Yeah, they're loading up their car and everything.

They didn't tell you?

Well, they probably didn't want a big emotional scene.

Too bad.

What are you supposed to do, Mike? Leave him in your truck? I'm not going to sit

back and watch you spin out of control.

Out of control?

Have I ever missed a mortgage payment?

What? Or disappeared for days on end? Or OD'd in an alley?

No. I go to work every day. I help out around the house. I take care of you and

Julie. What's the problem?

What's the problem?

Let's see. You lied to me.

Your drug dealer almost dated my daughter. You lied to me some more.

And then I find out that you hit up my best friend's husband for more pills.

You're pulling this out of proportion.

And you're kind of yelling at me. Also a problem. I'm sorry.

I'm in pain.

You might think you have things under control, but they're only going to get

worse. And with a baby on the way.

I'm sick of explaining myself. If I need a pill now and then, I'll take one. So

where are they?

I'm serious, Susan.

Give them to me.

Forget it. Hey, don't walk away from me. Susan!

Let go of me!

Tomatoes touching down outside Mount Pleasant. We can confirm six dead...

My wife

needs to be seen immediately.

She's pregnant and she fell down the stairs. Any bleeding?

Uh, no.

Cramping? I think I just twisted my ankle, but I would like to get checked

anyway. Sure, but for non -emergency cases, it's going to be a long wait.

Well, she's pregnant. Doesn't that make it an emergency?

Sir, I'm sorry. You're just going to have to wait.

How could you not have told me Sylvia was here? I was trying not to upset you.

Well, you failed.

At least if you had warned me, I wouldn't have been blindsided when she

on our front lawn. I'm sorry.

Look, I'll call the police. I'll get a restraining order. I'll do whatever it

takes to get this woman out of our lives.

Brie, hello.

Hi, Catherine.

Could I borrow Adam for a second?

Situation on my hands.

She's over there. First door on the left. And please hurry.

What is she doing there in the first place?

I saw her weeping. I wanted to help.

You wanted dirt.

And I'll bet she told you plenty.

I can't help having a sympathetic face.

Sylvia? I need you to come out here, okay?

Adam?

Is that you, darling?

Don't call him that.

Catherine, I'm not coming out of Steve here. I'm not leaving you alone with my

husband. Just come out. I'll get rid of her.

Ladies.

What's she tell you?

That she had an affair with Adam.

Well, she didn't.

She was a patient, pathetic, lonely woman.

One day, for no other reason than sheer pity, he gave her a little kiss.

Sylvia took this to mean that they were in love.

And when Adam told her otherwise, she had a breakdown and accused him of

assault.

What did you do?

We settled out of court.

I wanted to fight it.

But Adam was afraid of losing his license.

Of course, we lost everything else.

Our home, our savings, and our friends.

So this is why you moved back to Fairview?

It was supposed to be our friend of the dark.

Well, Catherine, for what it's worth, I would have bitten her face, too.

What's that noise?

Is that the tornado?

It's worse. It's the scabbles.

Hey, we're here.

I know.

All right, guys, come on. Stick up the places.

This is our...

I'm begging.

Oh, it's all right. I'm going to get used to it. Come here. Keep that to

Hey, guys.

Come on now.

Knock it off.

Here you go.

And first base, second base, third base, sit.

We're going to have a nice and quiet tornado watch, and nobody's going to

any problems. Is there a cat here?

Oh, yes. I brought Toby.

Wow.

Is something wrong?

I didn't realize there'd be a cat.

Tom's really allergic.

It sets off my asthma.

Ida, is there any chance that we could put little Toby upstairs?

Upstairs? Yeah, he'd be very safe. We could put him in a closet.

Sure.

Why don't we put Penny with him?

Since it's safe.

What?

Toby is Ida's baby, Lynette.

No, Toby's an animal, and my husband, a human being, will get very sick if he

stays down here, so please, put the cat upstairs.

Look, I invited Ida to come here. You I'm doing a favor for. If you're not

with the accommodations, you're free to leave.

Hey, I'll just stay over here.

Maybe it won't get any worse.

No, that's ridiculous.

Karen, come on.

Sorry, the cat stays.

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worried about you.

How long are they going to keep us waiting?

You sure that's all it is?

Hey, hey, we were here way before these people. Sir, they're seeing everyone on

an emergency basis. This woman is hemorrhaging. Danny, can you take her

What, you're going to see blood before you'll treat somebody? My wife's

pregnant, and she fell down a flight of stairs.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to be patient. These people are

bleeding. I can absolutely wait.

I'm just asking to take a look at you, okay? Hell, you could have done it while

you're standing here talking to me, right? Sure. We'll get to your wife as

as we can. Now, please, take a seat. Just take a look at her. Get the hell

of me.

Mike! Stop!

I need security here now.

Let me out of these things.

When your wife's done and you're ready to go home?

The doctor said the baby's fine.

Oh, my God.

Your ankle?

Just a mild sprain.

I've had better days.

I'm so sorry.

It's going to be okay.

I talked to the doctor, and they have a rehab facility they work with.

I can kick this myself.

I've done it before.

You keep saying that, and it just keeps getting worse.

Susan, look at me.

I'm handcuffed to a chair.

I think I've hit bottom here.

I'll fix this.

Just know what you have.

Mr. Delfino, the doctor asked me to give you these for the pain.

God, are you kidding me?

I've kind of had a rough day here.

No.

I've just got to get going.

No.

There's no tomorrow.

It's now.

You will quit this now. You will go to rehab or so help me. I will leave you.

I will take this baby and I will leave you.

Gabriel! Excuse me?

Sorry, I'm in a rush. My wife's alone with the kids, and I have to get home

before this storm hits.

This is the information Carlos asked for.

About what?

About the Cayman Island account.

Didn't he tell you I was coming?

Yeah, of course he did. He said you'd be stopping by.

This is everything you need to access the money.

I washed my hands of this, so whatever you do, don't lose that folder. Got it?

Believe me, I won't let it out of my sight. All right. Nice to finally meet

Gabrielle. You're just as pretty as Carlos said you were.

Oh, no.

I'm prettier.

You're home.

Lynette! What the hell did I tell you?

I'm not going to sit and watch my husband suffocate.

Well, I don't want Ida to wake up and find her cat missing.

Karen, after all our years of friendship, how can you choose a cat

husband?

You think we're friends?

Of course.

Really? Do you ever stop by just to say hi or invite me for a cup of tea? Ida

does. What are you talking about? I had you over for lemonade last week. And

while I was drinking it, you went to the store and I watched the kids.

Face it, the only time we're friends is when you need something.

That is not true. I genuinely care about you.

You mean like today when you came by to check on me?

Oh, that's right.

You only wanted a basement.

That is worth a lot to me.

Give me my money!

Your money?

Carlos embezzled it!

Oh, now you're moral all of a sudden? You didn't care where the money was

from when you thought Carlos was going to spend it on you.

Okay, I'm not unreasonable.

Cut me in for, say, 60%, and I'll go away.

Please open the door.

Sylvia!

Thank God you're here. We need to get into the bathroom.

We can't. There's a woman in there.

Well, tell her to hurry it up.

No, no. She's barricaded herself in there.

She's a patient of mine who's had a little meltdown. Just give me five

We don't have time.

There's a funnel cloud out there.

Open the damn door!

we hurt you and i wish it didn't happen the way it did and i just want you to

know that why are you talking like that well i thought just in case we oh no you

don't you just set the hell up we're not doing deathbed confessions here

i'm gonna get through this i'm gonna go on hating you for years to come

you really hate me

It's just that I really let myself fall for him.

Which was stupid, because I always knew that he'd go back to you.

I'm so sorry, though.

We should shut the hell up.

I think it's possible Benjamin might be changing.

That went beyond the hypothetical a good ten minutes ago.

We're giving you shelter. You could at least be gracious.

We wouldn't need shelter if you hadn't dragged us over here. Oh, you know it's

my fault that that lunatic commandeered our safe room? If you hadn't been dying

to know our business, you wouldn't have gotten in there. Can we stop pointing

fingers?

This isn't Bree's fault.

You're right.

Sorry.

You can understand why I'm...

It's a bet, having that insane woman back in our lives.

I can only imagine I had to listen to her babble for an hour.

What kind of things was she saying?

She said that she and Adam were lovers and she could prove it because he had a

tattoo.

What? He said he had a tattoo on his shoulder, which I know isn't true

I've seen him at the pool and I would have remembered because tattooed people

make me very uncomfortable.

Did you say what kind of tattoo it was?

Um, a snake.

What's the difference? He doesn't have one.

You have to understand.

No, I...

You've got to get in the basement now!

Debbie!

Damn it, where are you?

Where's Gabby?

I thought she was with you.

I don't know where she is.

I guess we'll have to wait for her together.

Do you mind if I say something?

Gabby and I never planned to get back together, Victor.

We tried to keep away from each other. We really did.

I don't know. It's like we're two halves of the same person or something.

And when we're apart, we just aren't happy, which is why we...

We never set out to

hurt you, Victor.

And I'm sorry we did.

Are you done?

Yeah.

Did you hear that?

It was supposed to be a beautiful day.

But then the winds came and changed everything.

And not just the houses and the lawns. Oh my God!

The people had changed too.

While the storm had raged, each of them, had learned something

about friendship

and forgiveness

and redemption.

And some had learned the hardest lesson of all.

that life is always fragile and very often unfair.
