Orson Hodge dreamed of the perfect honeymoon. Indeed, he'd begun planning it the moment Bree Van De Kamp agreed to marry him. They'd start by flying first class, to an exclusive 5-star hotel, where they'd spend their days by the pool, and their nights making love. And when they returned home, their perfect honeymoon would continue... forever.

to greet us when we arrive. Why do we clutch at this baggage, even when we're
desperate to move on? Because we all know
there's a chance... We might let go too soon.

Orson: No. I just thought... for you.
