(Mary Alice’s House * On a table is a picture of Mary Alice, Bree, Susan, Gabrielle and Lynette hugging and smiling.

"My name is Mary Alice Young, and before I died, my life was filled with love, laughter, friendship, and, sadly, secrets."

(Mary Alice exiting her front door, taking out the trash. )

"The secrets had begun fifteen years earlier when my name was Angela Forrest, and I was living a life of quiet desperation."

(Mary Alice serving breakfast to Paul, who is pouring orange juice while sitting at the dining room table.)

"I'd feel it every morning as I made breakfast for my husband."

Paul: "If you could stop by the market today, that would be great. I'm out of shaving cream."

(Mary Alice in the supermarket parking lot. )

"And during the errands I ran in the afternoons."

(With a supermarket apron on, a bag boy loads groceries into Mary Alice’s car. She hands a tip to him.)

Bag Boy: "So Friday's double coupon day. You'll save a bunch if you come on Fridays."

"Even at my work every evening."

(Mary Alice at the hospital. She approaches the nurse’s station with a file folder. A younger Felicia Tilman is talking to a nurse who is looking at a calendar at the desk.)

Nurse: "What a lovely calendar. Was this taken around here?"

Felicia: "Oh, no. That's way out in Fairview. I have family there. Isn't it idyllic?"

(Mary Alice begins putting files away. Felicia hands her another file. )

Felicia: "Here, Angela. You can file this."

Mary Alice: "Oh."

"To me, each day was gray and meaningless. And then one night, suddenly..."

(Mary Alice taking out the trash. A young woman approaches in the dark, carrying a baby.)

Deirdre: "Hey, Angela."

"There was color."

Mary Alice: "Deirdre. What are you doing here?"

Deirdre: "I need some money."
