The episode "Remember Paul" is the season 7 premiere of the wildly popular drama series, Desperate Housewives. The show centers around the lives of four suburban women in the fictional town of Fairview. The episode opens with the arrival of Paul Young, a former resident of Wisteria Lane who has just been released from prison after serving a 10-year sentence for murder.
As Paul returns to Wisteria Lane, he discovers that the neighborhood has changed significantly since he left. He also learns that his wife, Martha, has died and his only son, Zach, is missing. Paul's return to Wisteria Lane sets off a chain of events that will have a major impact on the lives of the show's main characters.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see how each of the four housewives is coping with their own personal struggles. Bree is struggling to keep her catering company afloat after losing investors, Susan and Mike are trying to keep their marriage intact after Mike returns from rehab, Lynette is dealing with her youngest son's behavioral issues, and Gabrielle is adjusting to life as a mother of two.
Amidst all of this, the women receive a mysterious note from an unknown sender that reads "I know what you did. It makes me sick. I'm going to tell." The note sets off a round of speculation amongst the women, as each of them has secrets that they would prefer to keep hidden.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that Paul has returned to Wisteria Lane to seek revenge against those who wronged him in the past. He has a particular interest in Susan, as her ex-husband Karl was the one who helped put him behind bars. Paul also seems to have a connection to Felicia Tilman, the ex-wife of one of the show's previous villains, who has recently moved in next door to Bree.
Despite the tension surrounding Paul's return, the housewives continue with their daily lives. Bree hires a new sous chef to help her with her struggling business, Susan and Mike attend a couples therapy session, Lynette tries to find a way to discipline her son, and Gabrielle is surprised by her daughter's overachieving nature.
The episode ends with a shocking twist that reveals that Paul may not have been the one responsible for the murder he was convicted of. This revelation sets the stage for the rest of the season, which promises to be filled with drama, intrigue, and unexpected twists.
Overall, "Remember Paul" is a gripping season premiere that sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting season of Desperate Housewives. With its blend of drama, humor, and mystery, the show continues to be a fan favorite, and this episode is no exception.
