       melissa looks from THE MAKEUP PALLETTE to her mother’s face and then back again. she knows scully said it didn’t have to be fancy or perfect, but she’s dreamed about this forever: sitting with her birth mother, one of her FAVORITE songs ( across the universe ) playing in the background while they do something ridiculously girly. finally selecting the perfect color, melissa turns back to scully and starts to gently brush the eyeshadow over her eyelids. ❝ so are you guys like...ACTUALLY going on a date or are you just humoring me here ? ❞

       ❝ just tell me why you hate me so much. after everything...i think you at least owe me that. WHY ? ❞

       ❝ h...HARRIS ? ❞ honestly, she was terrified. they hadn’t exactly planned this ( at least she hadn’t. she couldn’t say what was going on in his mind at this point. ), but she obviously had to tell him. it was only a matter of time before judith found out, and if he heard it from his mother instead of her... so she sucked in a breath and nudged open the door to his office. ❝ i um...can i TALK TO YOU for a minute ? i have some news.... big news. ❞

       ❝ i know YOU HATE ME, dana. honestly, you have every right to. i just hope that someday...you’ll be willing to accept that my reasons are more complicated than selfishness. after all we’ve been through...i hope i’ve at least earned THAT. ❞

       ❝ i’m fine, bree. ❞ lie. she clearly wasn’t fine, but lynette scavo was nothing if not stubborn, and with everything going on lately, she couldn’t fall apart in front of her friends. ❝ i mean...why WOULDN’T i be ? my husband has this incredible new girlfriend and i’m still... ❞ alone. ❝ but i’m fine. so RELAX. ❞

       ❝ m...MOM ? ❞ jackie’s head hurt. she was in the hospital. how ? why ? and then she remembered. the vision. aliens flying overhead, a virus only she could stop. what the hell happened ? ❝ did i...WHAT HAPPENED ? ❞

       mary alice needed to loosen up a little, and lynette had a plan. the redhead was nice enough to help her wash the dishes, and that provided the PERFECT opportunity. scooping some of the bubbles from the sink into her hand, she gently flicked them at the other woman. they landed in her hair. ❝ i knew it. that’s the perfect look for you. ❞

       ❝ MAKER, am i happy to see you. have i mentioned my life is incredibly boring without you around ? ❞
