What's to Discuss, Old Friend? - Recap

A depressed and unhappy Bree decides to end it all in a hotel room with a gun. She gets drunk, slips into a nightgown, writes a suicide note, grabs her handgun. Suddenly, a fierce pounding is heard on the door. Bree hears an angry Renee demanding to be let in. Renee thinks her Ben is with Bree, but he is not, as Renee finds out when she breaks down the door. Renee searches the room, sees Bree with the gun, wants to know why she is doing this, reads Bree's note. Bree asks her to leave; the two embrace as Bree sobs.

Lynette and Tom sit down over pancakes at the breakfast table while he tells their kids to get ready for school, meet him out at the car. The two discuss Lynette being an accessory to murder; what is to be done?
Tom leaves to take the kids to school. Lynette hears, on tv, about Detective Chuck Vance's death by car.

A worried Gabby is at the rehab center where Carlos was convalescing, trying to locate her husband by questioning a male nurse who is less than helpful. He tells her the center is not a prison, that
Carlos checked himself out last night, to please leave. While there, she overhears, on tv, that Vance had been killed last night.

A now sober Bree wakes up at her own house to Renee making breakfast. With a pounding hangover, Bree refuses to eat. Renee announces that she is moving in to take care of Bree, to watch over her.
Bree will not reveal the reason she was going to commit suicide, but Renee is determined to find out. She tells Bree about Vance's death.

At Susan's home, her husband wakes up to find Susan packing her bags into a waiting taxi. He rushes out to talk to her; they go inside to discuss why she is going to New York, as planned. A knock
on the door reveals the neighborhood women who inform Susan of Vance's death. Was this a good thing? Could someone be trying to protect them? Could the missing Carlos have done it?

Lynette returns home to find Tom talking to Bob about her being an accessory to murder. She informs them about Vance's death; they decide the trouble is over, Bob leaves. Who could have done it?

Susan is upset, teary, not sure why, but depressed that she helped bury Alejandro's body. Has someone found out? Her husband tells her to cheer up.

Gabby, at the local police station, questions a detective: have they found any clues as to who might have run into Vance last night? No, he says, but they are definitely on the lookout! Gabby offers
her condolences, suggests that perhaps drunken teenagers might have done it.

At Lynette's house, Bree and she discuss who might have killed Vance, who might know about Alejandro's murder. They make a chart showing whom they told, who might have sent the note
saying they knew about the murder.

Gabby comes home to the babysitting Karen, who tells her that a very drunken Carlos is sleeping it off upstairs. Karen leaves, Gabby accosts Carlos angrily, asking where he had been all this time?
She tells him Vance is dead. Could he have hit Vance accidentally? They go to check his car, do not find it in the driveway. Where can it be?

Renee tells Bree that she thinks Bree is depressed, that she should talk about her suicide attempt. Bree says she doesn't feel like it, that they are not really friends.

At Vance's funeral, Lynette tries not to smile as Tom tells her it's not over yet, to be careful. He accepts her invitation to movie night that evening with their kids.

Susan is attending the funeral also, talking to Vance's aged aunt about death, thanks her for her good advice. Gabby and Carlos pay their respects too, talking to a police officer who says that
a very drunk Carlos had come to the police station the other night, wanting to confess about beating someone with a candlestick, but had left before doing so. Did he still want to confess? No,
Carlos says, it was just a tiff between himself and his wife. Did Gabby want to press charges? No, she says, but thanks him anyway.

Renee tells Bree that her mother committed suicide when Renee was a young girl, left Renee confused and hurt. Bree apologizes; the women mend their friendship.

At bedtime, Gabby tells Carlos that the police found his car in a local parking lot, that they will bring it over tomorrow. She tells Carlos that she loves him, to never go missing on her again
or there might just be another murder soon.

At Lynette's house, the pizza is delivered. Lynette is unhappy because Tom has ordered a thick crust, which she doesn't like, that he never listens to her. Tom allows that he does not. After dinner
is cleaned up, he asks if he can still stay to watch "Old Yeller". Lynette agrees to it. She asks Tom to apologize to Jane for the missed trip to Paris, that he really should go next time around.

Susan is back at the curb next morning, getting into a taxi. Her husband asks her why. She tells him about Alejandro's cell phone ringing when she was helping to put his body into
the grave, that she realizes he has an innocent family somewhere, that she has to find out if they are alright. He agrees and she leaves.

Bree walks out to her mailbox only to find another anonymous note saying, "You're welcome." Who could have sent this one?
