MAVO: "Control. It's extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it. Some rely on deception": Betty chops up a whole bunch of pills and dropping the dust into a bowl of soup. Good night, sweet Basement Buddy! "While others engage in outright trickery": Lynette sits at her kitchen table, working, while Tom frantically cleans around her. Lynette smiles a secret smile, and somewhere a rat rotates in its grave of garbage. "Then there are those who resort to extortion": Gabby smiles to herself as she writes out a check. "Why do we fight so hard for control?": Bree talks to...George? Is that George? Or is that her lawyer? "Because we know that to lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others": Bree puts her hand on George's (or her lawyer's) shoulder. And what could be more dangerous?" Mr. Flannery sits in a car, quietly taking photos of Bree and her reckless, slutty arm-touching.
