Bree was really getting anxious as she watched Lynette attempt to garden. The redhead was peering out her kitchen window and biting her lip as she noted how haggard Lynette was looking.

She decided that she had to find out what was wrong before it was too late. When Lynette disappeared inside the Scavo house, Bree picked up the phone to call Susan and Gabi to invite them over for a talk.

"...And I'm not certain on whether she said 'bills' or 'pills'. Either one is bad, but if she was talking about pills then we need to get cracking. I don't want this to turn out the way it did with Mary Alice." Bree finished explaining to Susan and Gabi, who were both sitting on her couch, the conversation she'd had with Lynette a couple nights ago. She sipped her tea as she waited for them to respond.

Susan was the first to speak. "Wow. Uh, look, we're really sorry that we didn't stay focused before. But we're going to do everything we can this time to help figure this out."

Gabi nodded vigorously. "Any ideas?"

Silence.

Then Susan said, "All we need to do is look for any pills she has. They would probably be in her purse or the bathroom. Maybe the kitchen. So two of us have to get her out of the house while one of us searches. And if there are no pills, then she was talking about bills."

"But we'd need to make sure she brings her purse." interjected Gabi.

Bree nodded calmly. "Yes, and make sure that Tom and the boys are out of the house...Oh, but I'm not sure. I really don't like the idea of searching through our friend's private belongings."

Susan rolled her eyes. "Then I'll search and you two distract Lynette. Besides, we can do it when Tom's at work and the boys are at school."

"Lynette works too, hello?" said Gabi in a "duh" kind of voice.

"Trust me, she's not gonna be going to work anytime too soon. Have you seen how worn out she looks? So, let's try it tomorrow, see if Lynette doesn't go to work. If she stays home, you two, I don't know, ask her to help you clean your garage or something."

"My garage is perfectly clean, thank you very much." sniffed Bree.

"Fine. I'll dirty mine up. But you will actually have to help me clean it." said Gabi.

The three women stood. Bree opened the door as Gabi and Susan walked out. "Oh, and Susan? Do go into her house through the back door so that if she happens to look over she won't see you sneaking in."

Susan nodded. "Got it."

The next day, all three women were standing at their windows, watching Tom leave with the boys. Lynette, however, didn't even leave the house. After about ten minutes, Gabi stepped out of her house and nodded discreetly in the direction of the Van de Kamp's house. Bree came outside and the two of them started walking to Lynette's house. Susan slipped out her door and ran to hide in some nearby bushes. She saw the other two women knock on the Scavo's door. After about a minute Lynette opened it. She talked to Bree and Gabi, then disappeared inside the house, leaving the door open. Gabi glanced towards the bush. Lynette reappeared holding work gloves in one hand and carrying Penny with her other arm.

They walked to Gabi's house, where Gabi opened the garage door to reveal a huge mess. Susan smiled nervously; it would take them hours to clean that! They went inside, and she crept around to the side of the Scavo house, continuously glancing around to make sure no one saw her.

The back door was unlocked and Susan slipped inside the house and shut the door behind her. She ducked under a window on her way to the kitchen and kept low even when she wasn't right in front of any windows. Quickly she opened drawers and cabinets, scanning the contents. In one cabinet there were medicine bottles, but they were mostly vitamins for the kids and some Tylenol.

Susan looked around for Lynette's purse. It wasn't there. Surely she wouldn't take it with her to clean Gabi's garage? Susan, still bent low, ran awkwardly up the stairs to see if the purse was in Lynette's bedroom. The door was partly open and she crept inside to find the purse on top of a dresser. As she was shifting through it, suddenly she heard the front door open then shut, followed by footsteps. Susan threw the purse back on the dresser and peeked around the door. From downstairs she heard a cabinet being opened and rummaged around in. The cabinet door closed and Lynette appeared, carrying a cleaner of some sort. Abruptly she stopped and turned to look at a drawer that was partly open. Susan's hand flew to her mouth. The drawer must have bounced back open after she closed it! Lynette looked around to see if anything else was out of place. Seeing that nothing was, she shrugged and closed the drawer, then left. Susan heard the front door being locked. She breathed in relief.

But then she heard it. The back door was also being locked. Dammit! How was she supposed to get out now? She sighed, realizing she'd have to think about that later. Right now, she had to focus on the job at hand. The bathroom was the only place left to look.

Once in the bathroom, the first place she looked was the medicine cabinet- not that there were any medicines in it. The only other place to look was the cabinet under the sink. As she looked through it she made sure to put everything back where it belonged.

She almost missed it. At first she thought it was a trick of light, but then she reached into the very back corner of the cabinet and pulled out...two bottles of Ritalin, one of them a little more than half-empty. She frowned, knowing that they couldn't be for the boys. If they were, then they would have been downstairs, not hidden away. Biting her lip, she poured two pills onto her palm then pocketed them. She put the bottles back and made sure everything was where it had been when she came in.

Now the only problem that remained was how to get out of the house. She didn't have a key, so if she unlocked the door and left, she wouldn't be able to lock it again from the outside and Lynette would know that someone had been in her house. Susan walked down the stairs and went towards the back door. She saw a window and managed to open it after a few tries. She made sure no one was looking, climbed over the ledge, and promptly fell into the bushes below. Standing, Susan brushed herself off and ran around to the front of the house. As she dashed across the street she saw Bree giving her a reprimanding "what are you doing?" look. Gabi and Lynette were nowhere in sight, and Susan sent Bree a smile and a thumbs-up before disappearing into her own house.
