Desperate Housewives
Season 8 (Teaser)
By: JacobB1996
Every hostess knows there's remaining work to be done after a party.
"Bye!" Gabrielle waves after her guests, knowing in her heart of hearts what's in the chest- a dead body who's owner is Alejandro, her stepfather whom used to brutally rape her. "Have a nice night!" Gabrielle shouts at the remaining people exiting her house, although she knows it'll be anything but a nice night for her.
Only the best of friends stay long after the party is finished to clean up the messes.
Lynnette opens the chest, uncovering the deceased body of Alejandro. "What are we going to do?" Gabrielle breaks the silence, shaking, frightened at her sanity. "We can't just stand here! Do something," Gabrielle demanded, and for the first time in years, she is biting her nails. The last time she bit her nails was when she was mortally frightened that Alejandro would brutally rape her as punishment for disobeying him. But now, she's biting her nails because she doesn't know what to do in the wake of the murder of her abusive stepfather. "Do something!" Gabrielle feels herself snap. "If somebody sees this body, if anybody sees this body, the only thing we'll be looking at is the inside of a jail cell!"
With that, Gabrielle's friends came up with a brilliant idea, an idea to rid their consciences of an unwanted guest.
"What we are going to do is we are going to stow this deceased body into our car, then we are going to drive to a remote part of town, find a woods, then we are going to bury the body under the dirt. Noone will know what happened, noone," Bree looks out into space, thinking of the last time she had to give advise to her friends. "This is our chance, our chance to combine our talents as a whole, and showcase what a good friendly group we are. If you don't take my advise," Bree steps up her determination. "then we are going to be seeing the inside of a jail cell."
In that night, Alejandro would never be seen again. And for that, everyone was beyond thankful; every housewife was thankful that they wouldn't be seeing the inside of a jail cell.
What they didn't know was that
someone else knew about this unfortunate occurrence,
and they weren't willing to forget it.
TITLE CREDITS
A wise man once said, "Change happens over night."
The night sky immediately following the dinner party is shown. The camera voyages into each housewives' house, showing just how enchanted their lives are.
Fortunately, this man had never met a certain group of friends in Wisteria Lane,
The camera focuses in on Gabrielle's house. It's morning a month after the cover-up of Alejandro. "Breakfast time!" Gabrielle announces, yelling at the bottom of the stairs, beckoning for her children to eat dinner like obedient children. Gabrielle grins to herself; never would her children be obedient, that's impossible for Juanita and Celia.
Juanita and Celia rush down the stairs. "Where's your father at?" Gabrielle questions Juanita and Celia as if they're prisoners.
"He's in bed. I tried to wake him up," Juanita reveals. "and he wouldn't." Alarmed, Gabrielle rushes up the stairs. She shakes her husband up, and he wakes up unwittingly.
"What the hell are you doing?" Gabrielle asks. "Your children said they weren't able to wake you up."
The camera focuses in on Bree's house. It's morning a month after the cover-up of Alejandro. "Breakfast time," Bree shakes her boyfriend, Charles Vance awake. "I made scones."
"For breakfast?" Chuck unwittingly opens his eyes. "Aren't scones a snack recipe?"
"No, not when they're breakfast scones!" Bree announces cheerfully, and walks down the stairs with Chuck. "By the way, how's your job?"
"Well, nothing much. Being a detective is pretty mundane work, you know." Chuck looks straight into Bree's eyes. Bree feels a strange sense of interrogation.
"Yeah, I know." Bree smiles, and serves Chuck the scones. Chuck bites into it and smiles. To Bree, his smile looks quite creepy. To Chuck, it's his normal everyday smile.
The camera focuses in on Lynnette's house. It's morning a month after the cover-up of Alejandro. "Breakfast time kids!" Lynnette screams up the stairs to her children. A scurry of children rush down the stairs. Only thing is, there's no Tom. Lynnette looks down at the ground for a second, then reassures herself that she's okay, and that she can get through this. "I made eggs for each one of you!" Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. "Wonder who that is?" Lynnette flashes a falsified smile. She opens the door, and it's Tom.
"I brang breakfast," Tom holds up McDonald's. "or did you already do that?" Tom flashes a smile, yet a falsified smile.
The camera focuses on Susan's house. It's morning a month after the cover-up of Alejandro. "Breakfast time Julie!" Susan sighs. Julie and Mike herd down the stairs. "I made eggs!" Mike flashes a sleepy, yet falsified smile. "Can you get M.J up?" Susan asks Mike politely. Mike nods his head, and disappears upstairs for a moment, before coming downstairs with M.J in tow seconds later. Julie, M.J and Susan quietly eat Breakfast.
for these woman had gone through so much,
Camera fades to black, and reappears with a flashback to the first season of when Bree, Susan, Lynnette and Gabrielle first discovered Mary Alice's "I Know what you did. It makes me sick. I'm going to tell." letter.
and change never happened over night for them.
In fact, it took a month for them to revert back to Wisteria Lane normalcy.
Flashback to Gabrielle, Bree, Lynnette and Susan burying the body of Alejandro and taking a month to recover from the craziness.
