Plot
Bree confronts Edie about the kiss with Orson. Edie tells Bree that she is not interested in Orson. When Bree slaps Edie across her face, this marks a full scale war between them. Bree sabotages Edie's business by hounding off a family that wanted to move in to the Young house. Orson arrives at Bree's house trying to reconcile with her, and wants to take Benjamin to a carnival, but all his apologies fail and she calls in a lawyer to sort out Benjamin's custody. Edie then goes to Orson's apartment to complain about Bree and she notices Orson's statement about Benjamin on the table. In the statement, it is revealed that Benjamin's biological parents are actually Austin and Danielle. Edie then blackmails Bree to be kind to her and do whatever she wants, or all her secrets will be exposed. Bree decides to reveal Benjamin's true parentage to Lynette, Susan and Gabrielle herself and explains Edie's attempt to blackmail her. To her surprise, the ladies understand and support Bree and march down to Edie's house and finally end their friendship with her. Edie reluctantly apologizes, but this falls on deaf ears. Edie then tells her son Travers that she will be spending Mother's Day with him as she leaves Wisteria Lane. She also promises to spend a lot more time with him from now on.
Mother Sea
(5:23)
Piano: Martha Waterman
Electric gulls and Keys: Kevin Bartlett
I looked out over the blue
And breathed in the new, old air
Wondered where it had been
Before it got here
Little bell in a cage
Singing to me happily
I wanted to swim out far
To keep him company
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More to be seen
Yes I remember now
I remember now
How it goes
I remember the tears
For the jellyfish
Drowned in the sand
I wavered in the waves
With seaweed in my hand
I wanted to fly under
The wings of the gulls
Overhead
I longed to know what lies
Beyond that line
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I can be
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I must be
Yes I remember now
I remember now
How it goes
Now I know just what
My godmother was for
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I must see
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More we can be
Yes I remember now
I remember now
