Season 9, Episode 183 “Those magic changes”

“Often in life, we find ourselves parting from people. People we care for and people we despise. Whether desirable or not… these people can sometimes Re-enter your life without notice… or warning” 

        After hearing a knock on the door Lynette opened it to see Kayla on the other side. Kayla lifted her sunglasses. “Hi Lynette.” Lynette managed a faux smile. “Hi Kayla, Tom isn’t here right now.” Kayla smiled. “I’m not here for him Lynette. Actually I wanted to see you.” Lynette stood still for a while then motioned for her to come in. Kayla walked past her into the living room. Lynette shut the door and walked toward her. “Why?” she questioned. Kayla looked upset. “I wanted to apologize for what I put you through… In the years I’ve come to realize that what happened to my mother wasn’t your fault.” Lynette looked down. “Do you know what could have happened to me after the stunts you pulled?” Lynette asked. They both looked at each other. Kayla smirked. “Well I’m sorry… if it matters.” Kayla walked around Lynette and out the door. 

        Bree said goodbye and hung up the phone as Trip walked in. “Who was that?” Trip asked. Smiling, Bree replied “That was Andrew, He wanted me to let you know he appreciates you getting him a job at the office” Trip smiled and gave Bree a kiss on the forehead. As he walked out of the room there was a knock on the door. Bree answered the door to see Roy. “Roy, Come in.” Roy smiled then shook his head. “Thank you Bree, but I’m just going to be a second, I found Karen’s Recipe for that Rhubarb pie, and I think she would want you to have it, even though…” Bree smirked “…Even though last time I had a piece it was filled with meds and unknown liquid.” Roy smiled as Bree continued. “This is very thoughtful Roy, thank you so much.” Roy smiled, waved and walked the other way as Bree watched she smiled.

        “Hey Bree.” Bree snapped from her trance and watched Gaby walk up to her. “Was that Roy?” Bree just nodded at Gaby’s question. “Haven’t seen him since the funeral.” Bree still silent chimed in. “He misses Karen, We all do.” Gaby Looked at Bree. “She was one of a kind.” 

Bree broke the sadness, “What are you doing home? Don’t they need you at work?” Gaby rolled her eyes… “I’ve got to spend time with the girls, you know how it is being a mother” Bree looked around and back at Gaby, “Gaby, Where are the girls.” Gaby shrugged “I don’t know”

        Jennifer was tossing and turning in bed that night having the bad dream she has had so many times before… “I can’t get my foot out!” Jennifer screamed as the loud siren was breaking the silence of the night.

She was yelling at a woman on the other side of the barbed wire fence. “Hurry they are coming!” Yelled the other woman. Jennifer pulled hard till her foot was free. The woman stuck her head and arm through the hole. “Ok! Now me hurry!” She reached for Jennifer. Jennifer gave her a tug but it was no use, the guards were approaching quickly. “I’m so sorry” Jennifer ran, leaving the woman to be dragged from the hole screaming. Jennifer sat up quickly, with sweat pouring from her head. Steve sat up next to her rubbing her back. “Bad dream?” Jennifer just nodded and laid back down.

        The next morning Gaby was getting ready for work when her cell phone rang. “Hello?” Gaby was still getting ready and listing at the same time, until she stopped… “That’s not possible, her father put her on the bus this morning…”Gaby’s face filled with anger and worry. “Yes, well thank you… I will give you a call when were on our way” Gaby closed her phone and ran upstairs “Juanita Solis! You had better have a good reason to why you…” upon entering the girls room Gaby found a note on Juanita’s bed, with the word “Daddy” written in colored pencil on the front.

        “Yes, Parting can be such sweet sorrow… Parting from those who have ulterior motives.” Kayla is sitting in a hotel room with pictures of Lynette torn up and marked all over. “Parting from those who had no choice but to leave us.” Roy is holding a picture of Karen, then slips it into his packed luggage. “Parting from those who we feel we have chased away.” Gaby is crying in Carlos’ arms…

Season 9, Episode 182 “Out Of My Mind”

        “When I was alive I tried to live in the utmost of normal, of course we all know that, no matter how hard you try, things come out of the blue to destroy you, this is where we get the saying… when life gives you lemons, make lemonade… However when life gives you garbage… Burn it!”

        Bree heard a knock at the door, and was elated to see Jennifer standing on her stoop. “Jennifer, I’m glad you could make it… I have to go pop something in the oven, meanwhile go ahead and chat with the other ladies, I’m sure they will be happy to meet you.” Bree took off into the kitchen, As Jennifer made her way into the family room. When she stepped in Lynette and Gaby stopped taking and looked at her. “Hi I’m Jennifer I just bought…” Lynette stood up and hugged her. “It’s so nice to finally meet you; you’re the one who bought Susan’s old house.” Gaby stood as well “Which means you have some very large shoes to fill.” the girls laughed and sat down to talk.

        Kayla sat on the couch next to Tom. All was quiet till… “Why did you come back Kayla? Don’t get me wrong it’s great to see you after all this time, but the way things were ended…”

Kayla looked at Tom, “Actually, I come back every year to lay flowers on Mom’s grave, and every year I've thought about coming to visit…” There was a noise from behind them. Penny came running down the stairs and stopped when she saw the two on the couch. Kayla stood up, “This isn't little Penny Scavo?!” Penny smirked and said “Well no not so little, not anymore… Who are you?” Tom stood up and swallowed hard.

        As Bree put down her coffee mug she asked Jennifer what her husband did. “Well he’s a doctor… a very educated doctor.” Gaby laughed as all the women looked at her, still giggling, she stopped. Cleared her throat… “Well that’s nice, you’re all set.” Lynette shook her head. “So Jennifer, how did you two meet?” Jennifer paused and looked at them all. “It’s a long story but... I've always believed in fate, and I guess that’s what brought us together in the first place.” “Oh well that’s wonderful dear.” Bree said as she smiled. Jennifer Smiled and took another sip of her drink.

        “Why is she even here?” Penny Exclaimed. Tom put his hands in front of her mouth as to shush her. “Penny! She’s going to hear you!” Penny grabbed tom and dragged him into the den. “Parker told me what she did to mom and having her around isn't such a great idea…” Tom stood with his arms crossed “That happened 13 years ago, we don’t know why she’s here she could be ashamed and wants to apologize.” Now Penny crossing her arms says “I hope so, for mom’s sake.” Penny walked out of the den and passed Kayla with a dirty look. 

        “Carlos, I’m home” After Gaby shut the door, she walked into the kitchen, where Carlos was finishing up dishes… “Oh honey, I could have done those” Carlos turned the water off, threw the sponge at the sink and walked past her. Gaby turned to follow him. “Carlos! What now?” Carlos Stopped and spun around. “What did we discuss this morning Gaby?” Gaby looked stumped. Carlos threw hints at her “It involves kids…And there missing mother…” Carlos looked at Gaby, waiting for a response. “I told you I was going over to Bree’s, I’m Home now.” Gaby smiled. “The girls are in bed Gaby, they waited up as long as they could, Juanita passed out and Celia was sleep chewing on her blanket.” Gaby looked at the floor “That explains the cotton mouth” Carlos stood tall. “I’m serious Gaby.” “ OK! Fine, Tomorrow I’ll call off work and spend the day with the girls…” Carlos smiled at the thought. However Gaby stormed off into the kitchen. “But I won’t like it!” She yelled. 

“Yes things come out of the blue to destroy you… Whether it be an object, or a person. But once the storm settles it gives you a much better perspective on life when you finally decide to… fight back”

    

Season 9, Episode 181 “Crazy On You”

        “As I watched Susan travel into the distance and finally disappear, I realized that life on wisteria lane would never be the same. However things were starting to stir up in Fairview much like they usually do and I realized the way the girls came to the lane, left the lane the same way.”

        Jennifer Michaels always had a hidden secret from her husband Steve and she made sure that when she got to the new house she would lock up that secret tight. Shortly after the moving truck had arrived so did Steve and their son Hunter. The Next morning there was a knock on the door. Jennifer answered and there stood Bree VanDeKamp, Now Bree Weston. “Hello I’m Bree Weston, I live in the blue house across the street, and I just wanted to welcome you to the lane by inviting you over to my house for a little get together I have to welcome new neighbors. When Bree was finished the door opened a bit more and out stepped Steve with a smile on his face. “Hi, I’m Steve Michaels, this is my wife Jen.”

Bree smiled and nodded her head just before Steve gave Jennifer a kiss on her forehead and looked at Bree again. “I’ve got to be off for work it was nice meeting you, Mrs.?” Bree smiled even wider “Weston, Bree Weston” Steve smiled and nodded and made his way past Bree and drove out of the driveway and down the lane.

        “Lynette we have so much to do, will you stop looking at things!” Lynette smiled as she held a coffee mug her twins had made her when they were younger. “Oh Tom, you know when I see things I get all reminiscent…”  Tom put down the box he was holding when he noticed a tear leaving her eye. “Everything is going to be ok honey, the kids are going to love New York, It’s an exciting new experience… a chance to start all over” Lynette wiped the tear out of her face and looked up at Tom with a forced yet comforting smile. “Just think, we can get away from the past…” There was a knock on the door as Tom said this. He continued as he went to the door “And nothing is going to stop us from starting a new!” Tom opened the door and there stood a beautiful girl in her 20’s. “Can I help you? Tom asked with a smile. “You don’t recognize me?” the girl asked, Tom just shook his head still smiling. “It’s me, Kayla” Tom’s smile dropped and so did Lynette’s coffee mug, from behind.

        “Gaby, the girls haven’t had there breakfast yet!” Gaby looked at Carlos swooped past him, walked into the kitchen, opened the cupboard and took out a box of cereal bars. She looked at him, smiled and headed out the door. As she walked down the steps the door behind her opened… “Ok Gaby, who are you?” She turned. “What?” Carlos closed the door behind him. “The girls are starting to wonder when the hell they’ll ever see you again” Gaby lifted her phone from her pocket. “I don’t have time for this Carlos, I’ll spend time with the girls soon, don’t worry about them.” Gaby got in her car and took off as Carlos stood and watched. Juanita was also watching from the upstairs window with an upset look on her face. As she climbed down from the window, she looked at a picture in her hand, one that she had looked at many times before.

        “Yes Susan had come to the lane single, and left the same way. Bree Came to the lane Married and is back to her perfect existence. Gaby and Carlos Came in with a fight and seem to be going out with one. And Tom & Lynette have a new surprise that once surprised them before. Nothing new has happened on the lane but one new housewife is going to change all that…” Jennifer opens the Jewelry box that she had hidden and begins to whimper.

        “Jennifer came to the lane with a secret in a hidden box, much like my husband and I did. “

Tom invites Kayla into the house. “Only myself and the other ghosts of wisteria lane can see the future.” Bree snuggles up next to Trip. “I only wish I could tell the girls what the future holds…” Carlos gives a kiss to both Juanita and Celia on the head as they eat toast. “But that would be giving away the ending…” Jennifer jumps at a noise in another room and quickly puts the box away…
