=== 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?
