Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} === Season 1 === * Way back in season 1. Bree, polishing her silverware, receives a call from the hospital informing her that {{spoiler\|her husband, Rex, has died}}. Bree takes the news calmly, and continues to polish the silverware. When she's finally finished, she sets it all down, sits at the kitchen table, and starts bawling. {{spoiler\|This is after she and Rex had been estranged for most of the season, and earlier in the episode, they were starting to finally reconcile.}} Line 22: === Season 6 === * After saving Orson from {{spoiler\|attempting suicide}}, Bree gives him this answer when he asks her if she still loves him: {{quote\| '''Bree:''' I loved you once. Can I love you again? I don't know. But I would like to recapture what we once had. How can we do that if you're not here? So I'm asking you again: Please stay.}} * The more recent flashback episode for the strangler on Wisteria Lane, which gives them a ''heartbreaking'' [[Freudian Excuse\|Freudian Excuse.]] Basically, {{spoiler\|as a little boy, his father walked out on his mother in front of him, resulting in the mother becoming [[Abusive Parents\|an alcoholic, emotionally abusive, negligent parent]] who has always laughed at his dreams, put him down even when someone stepped in to help, and claiming he would never find love--all to punish him for resembling his father.}} Is it any ''wonder'' this person ended up the way they are?
