Marcia Cross as Bree by Ron Tom/ABC
The Housewife:
Bree (Marcia Cross)
The Household:
• Husband Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) — a dentist still hiding a mysterious past who wrote a prescription for pain pills for Mike (James Denton). Bree knows just about everything about Orson's past, but there are still some holes to fill.
• Son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) — young, single and gay, but wishes his mama would stop playing matchmaker and making him dress up as Cher.
• Daughter Danielle (Joy Lauren) — away at college. In her quest to raise Danielle's baby as her own, Bree gave Danielle tuition to a "party school." Bribery much? Danielle took Bree up on her offer pronto.
• Baby "son" Benjamin, who's actually Bree's grandson.
Her Desperate Situation:
Bree lost her Martha Stewart-esque house in the devastating tornado, so she and most of her family are staying with Susan (Teri Hatcher) and Julie (Andrea Bowen), much to the delight of Susan and Julie, who love Bree's exquisite housekeeping and cooking skills. Bree desperately wanted her son Andrew to date Walter (J.C. MacKenzie), the potential contractor of her replacement home and friend of neighbor couple Bob (Tuc Watkins) and Lee (Kevin Rahm). Bree will do anything to get her house back. But Susan blew that game plan by doing things like pointing out the obvious age difference between Walter and Andrew (Walter's twice his age). And Bree's most desperate situation is the fact that she is raising her daughter Danielle's baby — the baby she pretended to carry herself by masquerading around Wisteria Lane in maternity clothes equipped with a fake baby bump.
What We Know Will Happen (Possible Spoiler Alert):
In their quest to become the best Martha Stewart on the block, Bree and fellow homemaking perfectionist Katherine (Dana Delany) surprisingly bonded during the tornado, when Bree found out about the affair that Adam (Nathan Fillion), Katherine's hubby, had. But they'll return to being frenemies when they both compete for the Founders' Day award and when Bree tries to poison Katherine, which causes the award to go to Bree. The two of them then call a truce and start a catering company together. Meanwhile, Katherine's presumed-dead ex Wayne (Gary Cole) arrives, and we find out what was written on that note that both Adam and Katherine's daughter Dylan (Lyndsy Fonseca) shockingly gazed at. And Orson starts sleepwalking again.
What We Think Might Happen:
After Orson finally reveals why he ran over Mike in that strange hit-and-run in Season 2, Bree is devastated, asks for a divorce and kicks Orson out of Susan's house. Katherine's ex arrives but he's still dead: He's only seen in flashbacks. Katherine, having learned a lesson when she failed to destroy that note in the fireplace, purchases a shredder. Bob and Lee finally get a storyline. Then there's that rumor about what might happen to everyone in the season finale!
