We flash back to a jail, where Bree's waiting to visit with Orson. As she heads into the waiting room, she sees it's full of other prisoners and their visitors. Bree asks the guard if there's a private room, but there obviously isn't. Bree tells the guard that an upgraded visiting room is probably a perk people would be willing to pay for. The guard says this is a prison, and the only perk they offer is a cavity search. (I'm thinking this guard doesn't know the meaning of the word "perk.") Bree says she's not feeling up to this, and will have to come back again. The guard says that's fine, since he has another visitor anyway, so she won't have to tell him his wife came and left. Bree's surprised about the other visitor, but the guard says "she visits him every week," but she can't give Bree her name. Okay, so are we supposed to believe that Orson has been in prison long enough for someone to come visit "every week," but Bree has not yet visited? I think Bree's too proper not to visit. Although she was sort of busy being a drunk, so maybe that has something to do with her taking so long to show up. Bree says that if a woman is visiting her husband, she has a right to know her name. The guard says she's sorry, but she can't do that, until Bree says that would be a perk worth paying for.
Edie opens her door to greet Bree, still dressed in the outfit she had on at the prison. So, we are to assume that, instead of confronting Edie at the prison (since she was expected to visit Orson next), she left the prison, waited for Edie to get back from visiting him, and went to Edie's. Whatever, stupid timeline. Anyway, Edie asks what Bree's doing there, and Bree says she wanted to see her. Edie: "And you didn't bring muffins?" Hee. Bree seethes that it isn't that kind of visit. She walks in and Edie shuts the door. Edie asks if she should be scared or grateful, what with the lack of muffins and small talk. Bree says she stopped by the prison, and the guard told her Edie's been visiting, sometimes twice a week. She asks what Edie's up to. Edie says she's not up to anything, "you red-headed ice cube." She says he's only 15 minutes away, and she feels sorry for him, and knows what it's like to be exiled from suburbia. Bree asks if she's trying to start something up, and Edie says he's in jail. She knows her boobs are impressive, but they can't bend iron bars. [Are conjugal visits not available everywhere, or are they only for wives? - Z] Bree thanks her for checking in on him, and for answering her question. She gets up to leave.
