Pilot
Air Date: 10/03/2004 In
the series premiere, "Pilot," looking down on her friends
and family isn't a way of life for Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong)...
it's a way of death. One day, in her perfect house, in the loveliest
of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all. Now she's taking us into the
lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her
elevated P.O.V.
Her
small circle of girlfriends are wondering why one of their own would
do something so rash... and so messy. There's Susan Mayer (Teri
Hatcher), the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary
lengths for love; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), the ex-career
woman who traded the boardroom for boredom, mixed with moments of
sheer panic as the mother of four unmanageable kids; Bree Van De
Kamp (Marcia Cross), the Martha Stewart on steroids, whose family
is about to mutiny; and Gabrielle Solis, the ex-model with everything
she's ever wanted - a rich husband, a big house - so what is she
doing with John, the 17-year-old gardener (Jesse Metcalfe)? And
there are her neighbors, including serial divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette
Sheridan), whose romantic conquests have everyone buzzing.
Then
there are the men: Hunky new neighbor Mike Delfino (James Denton),
a supposedly widowed plumber who has Susan and Edie vying for his
attention; Rex Van De Kamp (Steven Culp), who's just told Bree he
wants a divorce; Gabrielle's better half, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio
Chavira), who figures he bought his wife a $15,000 diamond necklace,
so she should do whatever he tells her; as for Mary Alice's newly-widowed
husband, Paul (Mark Moses), there must be a reason why he's acting
so suspiciously - and why he's digging up the pool in the middle
of the night!
From
her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever
did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets
that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly
perfect American suburb.
