Season 2
Mary Alice was the first housewife to move to Wisteria Lane, fifteen years before the show's pilot episode (the day Mary Alice killed herself). In the second season finale, Mary Alice appeared in the episodes in various flash backs, describing how she met the major housewives, the first character she met was Susan. Mary Alice rescued Susan after she locked herself in her moving van. The second character she encountered was Bree, who came to the Youngs house, with Andrew and Rex in tow. She made Andrew apologize for stealing a garden ornamental frog.
She met Lynette several years later. Lynette and Tom were arguing over how Lynette was expecting twins and that it was completely okay for Lynette to punish Tom for not telling her that his family had eight sets of twins over three generations. Gabrielle was the final housewife to be greeted by the group. She and Carlos were only wearing underwear as they had just had sex when Mary Alice, Susan, Lynette and Bree walked in.
episode 1 Plot
Minutes after Mike parks his car in the driveway, Susan is still in Mike's house with Zach who is holding her hostage at gunpoint. He is waiting to kill Mike because he thinks he killed his father, Paul. When Mike comes home, Susan tackles Zach. In the resulting confusion, Susan trips and falls, the gun goes off harmlessly and Zach runs off. At the hospital, where Susan is being treated for the lip she accidentally bit, Julie hears Mike giving police a different version of events, one that downplays Zach's murderous intentions. Julie tells Susan and she confronts Mike about it. He admits he doesn't want to press charges. He tells her about how Mary Alice and Paul killed Deirdre because of Zach. He's interrupted by a call from the police -- they've just found Zach. He's dead. Since Paul is missing, Mike and Susan go to the morgue to identify his body. Only it's not Zach. When Susan sees Mike's reaction, she realizes what he was about to tell her - Zach is his son. She freaks out and leaves him there. She shows up at his house later to tell him that she's so happy he has a son since he always wanted children. But she can't let Zach near Julie and so she decides they can't move in together. She runs off in tears.
John shows up at Gabrielle's house with a suitcase -- he's ready to move in and start a life with her and the baby now that Carlos is in jail and knows about their affair. But she's still mad at him for spilling the beans and throws him out. Gabrielle visits Carlos in jail and tells him she's sorry and she wants to start over. He tells her he wants a paternity test. She fakes a test that says he's the father and is surprised when he still isn't happy. He says all he asked for was for her to be faithful and she claims that Carlos tricking her into getting pregnant was far worse than her affair with John. "We're not very nice people are we?" Carlos asks. Though Gabrielle agrees, she says, "at least we're still rich." The two nod sadly.
Bree tells her friends she can't fall apart after Rex's death. She has to stay calm to deal with his emotional mother, Phyllis. The women see an example of this when Phyllis spastically yells Bree's name out the window of a speeding taxi cab. When she starts emphasizing how happy Rex's life was before his marriage, including requesting that he be buried in a hideous prep school tie, Bree tells her to say what she really means. Phyllis tells Bree that she ruined Rex's life when she married him. Bree snaps and bans her from the funeral, until Andrew and Danielle beg her to reconsider. Bree relents and Phyllis apologizes to her and all is well. Bree introduces herself to new neighbor Betty Applewhite and her son Matthew, asking Betty if she can play the organ at Rex's funeral since Betty is a former concert pianist and their organist is on vacation. Betty agrees and tells Bree "Us widows have to stick together," although Betty reveals after the Van de Kamps leave that the entire story of Betty's widowhood is a lie to cover their real identity. At the funeral, Bree sees that Rex is wearing the hated prep school tie and not the Ralph Lauren tie she picked out. "Don't close that coffin!" she orders and in full view of the entire church, demands Tom's tie and props up Rex's body so she can put Tom's tie on him instead.
At her job interview, Lynette tries to make a good impression on Nina, who doesn't approve of anyone who takes time off to be with their kids. Lynette assures her it won't be a problem. But then the day of her follow-up interview, Tom throws out his back and can't take care of baby Penny, so Lynette forced to take her to the interview. She manages to wow Nina's boss with her multitasking skills, changing Penny's diaper while pitching them ideas on how to take their agency to the next level. She's hired, although Nina is less than thrilled.
In the last scene, Betty and Matthew Applewhite have a normal mother-son conversation in their home while Betty plays the piano. The mood suddenly changes as the two descend into the basement with a tray of food... and a revolver. It is revealed that the Applewhites are keeping someone prisoner in their basement by schackling them- though it is not known who.
