Ep 3. Pretty Little Picture

Bree Van de Kamp, obsessive housewife extraordinaire, is preparing for her annual Christmas card photoshoot. She has a specific vision in mind and insists on all the details being perfect -- from her family's clothes to the angle of the sun.

Meanwhile, Susan Mayer is struggling with her new neighbor, Edie Britt, who comes across as a bit too bold and attention-seeking. Susan's concern turns into outright paranoia when she notices that Edie seems to be flirting with Susan's ex-husband, Karl.

Gabrielle Solis, former model and celebrity wife, is dealing with the boredom and loneliness of being a stay-at-home mom. She begins an affair with her teenage gardener, John, finding excitement in the forbidden and the danger of being caught.

Lynette Scavo, a controlling mother of four rambunctious children, is having a hard time keeping up with the demands of being a full-time parent. She hires a nanny, Claire, to help with her children and household duties. But things take a turn for the worse when Claire starts to undermine Lynette's authority with the kids.

As the four women navigate their various struggles, secrets, lies, and dramas begin to unravel within the pristine suburban neighborhood of Wisteria Lane.

In "Pretty Little Picture," tensions between the women start to boil over as Bree's quest for perfection clashes with Lynette's need for help. Susan is convinced that Edie is trying to steal her ex-husband away, leading to a confrontational dinner party where Edie and Susan exchange heated words.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle's affair with John becomes more complicated when she discovers that her husband, Carlos, has hired him to work at their company. Gabrielle is forced to try to keep her lovers separated while dealing with the guilt and shame of her infidelity.

And just when it seems like things can't get any worse, Bree's husband, Rex, tells her that he wants a divorce. Bree is devastated but determined to keep up the appearance of a perfect life, even as everything around her starts to unravel.

In "Pretty Little Picture," the women of Wisteria Lane show that even in the most pristine settings, there can be darkness and desperation lurking beneath the surface.
