Well hey, it's the full credit sequence! Oh, how I've missed you. You know, you look good, really good. Have you been working out? Pilates? And a colon cleanse? I thought so.
MAVO, continuing with the hard-hitting "neighbors: they move" theme, narrates over a montage of moving vans pulling in to Wisteria Lane. A fully alive Mary Alice peeks out through her drapes, and we see Susan -- with long hair and bangs -- sitting on a big moving truck's open tailgate. She's smiling hugely and sharing a snack with a stroller-bound blonde two-year-old (Julie). It is, as the text on the screen so helpfully informs us, "14 Years Ago." Specifically, it's the day MA met Susan. Dead MAVO: "She seemed so delightfully confident, I couldn't help but [sic] feel intimidated." Susan brushes off her hands and heads into the bowels of the truck. Somehow, she manages to trip on the lip of the truck bed. She catches her arm on the strap attached to the rolling door on the truck, and it slams shut behind her, thereby totally locking her inside! Susan belts out a comic Joey-style "whoooa!" and MAVO archly tells us how her feelings of being intimidated by Susan's fantastic confidence "quickly passed." Susan bangs on the inside of the door and pleads with baby Julie to unsnap herself from her stroller and go get a neighbor, "but don't cross the street!!!" Susan's still screeching out instructions when the door rolls open. Susan, to herself, as the door rolls up: "My god, I have a genius baby." Ha! Then she sees that it's Mary Alice, not Julie, who's saved her. Susan laughs, MA laughs, and Susan points at Julie and corrects herself: "I have a normal baby." The ladies introduce themselves, and Susan tells MA how relieved she is that her husband didn't have to come to her rescue, seeing as he already thinks she's a "total klutz." MA invites Susan over for coffee, and Susan is absurdly grateful. Then she catches herself mid-swoon and apologizes to MA for probably seeming like a "lunatic." MA nicely assures Susan that she seems normal; then she confides that baby Julie does indeed look like a "genius." Susan smiles hugely and picks up baby Julie, squealing about how happy they're all going to be here on Wisteria Lane. The camera freezes on the sweet image of the tidy yellow Mayer home...
