Desperate Housewives — S01E06 — Running to Stand Still poster

Overview

Lynette locks horns with officious mom Maisy Gibbons at the twins' school who is trying to produce a "politically correct" play about "Little Red Riding Hood." Meanwhile, Susan continues to investigate the mystery of Zach's sudden disappearance. She soon finds out his father Paul put him in Seacrest, a mental institution. She and Julie then go to investigate. Mama Solis comes closer to discovering Gabrielle's dirty little secret of her affair, and Bree comes undone when Rex suggests they hire a sex surrogate.

00:00:00 Previously on Desperate Housewives...
00:01:25 it had become increasingly apparent, in this war...
00:03:02 And that might take a couple of years.
00:05:21 Asking too many questions.
00:06:50 I don't think so.
00:08:30 - I'm sorry. And you are? - I'm Lynette Scavo.
00:10:00 She was convinced he was deliberately hiding Zach
00:11:37 And Rex feels that when the two of you have intercourse,
00:13:13 Might I suggest the Barcliff Academy production of Little Red Riding Hood?
00:14:30 You're just playing for chips?
00:16:41 OK. So now that I'm going to do some "heavy lifting",
00:19:32 Oh, I get it. I'm so sorry. Of course. It's inappropriate.
00:21:28 Of course. That's fine.
00:22:43 Uh... just the check, please.
00:24:23 That forest is looking a little dense anyway.
00:26:09 How much did you have on you? It couldn't have been much.
00:28:54 You know...
00:30:48 - You would do that for me? - Why wouldn't I?
00:32:52 What is it?
00:34:40 I realized there has been a disconnect.
00:36:37 Lynette had stayed up 18 hours straight, sewing.
00:38:42 - She was very concerned. - She knew?
00:40:45 Who is "they", as in, "they forgot to tell the printer"?
00:42:37 Traces of evil always remain.
