The People Will Hear
Season 8 | Episode 21 | Aired 05/6/12

In addition to being nervous about her upcoming murder trial, Bree is smitten with her defense attorney. Speaking of Tripp, he preps his client's closest friends for their testimonies. He's a little curious when Gaby accidentally refers to the dead guy as Alejandro. As for Bree, she's curious as to why Tripp is riding around town with a gorgeous blonde in a flashy sports car.

Bree confronts the blonde beauty at the courthouse. Her name is Lindsay. She's a private investigator who is helping Tripp on the case. Actually, she "was" helping until the client insinuates she's a hooker. Bree apologizes for her behavior. Lindsay gets it. She's worked with Tripp long enough to know that his female clients always fall for him even though he's always all about the case. Bree hopes she's the exception to this rule.

Julie is angry with Porter when he's late for the baby-birthing class. She's having doubts about his ability to be a good father. Susan tries to ease her worries by recalling how much Mike stepped up when MJ was born. She has so many memories of him in her house. Susan has a heart-to-heart chat with Porter. The guy is trying hard, but he realizes that he may be destined to disappoint Julie. That's why Susan offers to move in with her daughter to help her raise the baby while she goes to school. That means she'll be leaving Wisteria Lane.
