The Art of Making Art
Season 8 | Episode 5 | Aired 10/23/11

Bree looks to reconnect with God by helping the homeless. She joins forces with new neighbor Ben Faulkner in his soup kitchen. Now, the Bree we know is not about to serve canned food to anyone, homeless or not. She whips up a batch of some super tasty soup from scratch. It's m'm, m'm great!

Bree's cooking is total hit with the shelter clientele, many of whom aren't homeless. They're just folks looking for tasty, free food. Bree makes a little speech that effectively shoos the freeloaders away so that the homeless can reclaim their space. Ben asks her to make another passionate speech to the city council so they'll green light his low income housing project.

Bree does her thing at the council meeting. The group is impressed and the project is a go. Ben shows Bree the location of the new development. It's a wooded area she knows all too well. Ben plans to break ground in the area where Carlos and the ladies buried Alejandro's body. Uh-oh.
