Episode 3.01: Listen to the Rain on the Roof
Airdate: September 24, 2006
As a storm dumps water onto Wisteria Lane, Mary Alice Young’s familiar voice opens up the show with:
“This is what rainy days are good for. They make everything clean again, which is necessary on a street like Wisteria Lane. Where everything can get so messy.”
The first episode opens six months after the finale with a mystery that is tied directly to Bree, Mike, and Susan. Bree is about to wed the secretive, meticulous dentist Orson, who’s hiding something so chilling it gave him reason to run down manly plumber Mike with his car in May’s finale. We’ll learn where the shady Orson came from, and as the season progresses, his web will start to untangle. Mike and Orsondo have a past, and it’s slowly revealed. Bree also has a disturbing conversation in which Bree tells her friends that she doesn’t want to have premarital sex with Orson.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle’s kicked Carlos out of the house and is left to deal with his mistress, Xiao Mei, since she is still carrying their baby. And while Xiao Mei’s English is broken, she’s managed to learn the phrase “What a bitch!” over the summer, and she sure knows how to use it.
