No previouslies this week, because either they realize that they'd have to show things only from season one, so we'd know who Mary Alice is, confusing newcomers; or because they just know this has nothing to do with anything and is so standalone that previouslies aren't necessary. Either way, prepare yourself for many blasts from the past and very little having to do with anything. Right, it's the 100th episode and all, so they're trying to pay some sort of tribute to the past, and Mary Alice. And Beau Bridges, apparently.

Speaking of, Beau gets out of his old red truck, as Mary Alice tells us he's the handiest of all handymen, Eli Scruggs. But since he won't be around long, I'm going to go ahead and call him Beau. His customers would tell you there's nothing he couldn't fix, whether a broken vase, a leaky pipe, or a shaky banister. But sadly, this Wisteria fixer is about to break their hearts. He climbs a ladder at Susan's, and Mrs. McCluskey comes to yell at him for retiring; she just got his note. He says he is retiring, because the doctor says he has a "bum ticker." "Bum ticker" is the sort of expression the handiest handymen say, of course. Mrs. McCluskey isn't happy about this development, but he recommends a new, young guy named Toby, who just turned 30. She's not comfortable with strangers, since it took her ten years to trust him. And she likes that he never leaves a mess. She wonders if everyone else knows he's leaving, and he says he put the same note in everyone's mailbox. She thinks there needs to be a party in his honor, but he doesn't want a big fuss. She tells him she'll miss him and walks off. Then he climbs the ladder for the last time. He finishes Susan's shingle, and then quietly has a heart attack and dies. He drops a nail, but it falls off the roof and into his tool box as Mary Alice tells us he did this without making a mess.

Mary Alice tells us it took an hour for someone to find the body laying atop Susan's roof. That someone is Juanita, who sees crows picking at the ball. Less than ten minutes later, the neighbors began arriving, to watch the paramedics and policemen try to figure out how to get the body down. I'd like to know how they do it, but Mary Alice quickly moves on without revealing the secrets of paramedics and policemen of the world. Susan arrives home, looking shocked, as everyone looks on. Mary Alice tells us it took two days for her friends to realize how much this tragedy had affected them. We get a close-up of a deep-in-thought Gaby, who's about to join the other ladies for their poker game. At the poker game, the ladies quickly start discussing sending flowers to Eli's funeral and ask Gaby what she thinks they should contribute. But the strummy music tells us she's already deep into a thoughtful flashback...
