Bree: So what did Julie say exactly?
Susan: She said Dylan's not the same girl.
Gabrielle: Not the same girl like she's changed or not the same girl like she's been replaced by a robot?
Susan: I know it sounds weird but Julie says Dylan does not remember anything about living here.
Bree: Well maybe she blocked it out. Did something bad happen to her when she was young?

Katherine: So if it isn't the early morning gossip brigade. Who are we dishing today?
Gabrielle: Oh, Susan.
Katherine: She's standing right there.
Gabrielle: Oh my god! Have you been there this whole time?
Susan: Ha ha.
Katherine: Anyway. I wanted to talk to you girls about Lynette.
Susan: What about her?
Katherine: Well since she's been so tired from Chemo, I thought it would be nice if we something for her like bring her lunch?
Susan: Ah, that sounds great.
Bree: Yeah, let's do it. Gaby, why don't you bring your vegetable lasagna, Susan you do beverages. And Katherine why don't you bring a simple green salad.
Katherine: I'd rather bring dessert.
Bree: Oh, no need dear. I always bring dessert. Oh, I'm thinking my Lemon Meringue pie.
Gabrielle: Oh yum!
Katherine: Yeah, here's the thing. The movers lost my salad bowl. My pie plates on the other hand...
Bree: Will not be needed. As I said I always bring dessert.
Susan: I know. I will lend you my salad bowl. You really don't want to miss Bree's pie. It's perfect.
Katherine: Who am I to argue with perfection. Oh I'm sorry, it just something has been driving me crazy!
Katherine pulls mini scissors out of her pocket. Leans over and snips a hanging thread off Bree's skirt.
Katherine: Now you're perfect.
Katherine turns and walks away as the girls look shocked.
