Mary Alice kicks off the season premiere with a recap of the lies and scandal that have hit the lane in the last few years.  She narrates the lives and ordeals of her neighbors, friends, and herself.  We are reminded of the threatening letter sent to her that caused her to end her life.  Her husband Paul, commits murder to end the life of the woman who threatened Mary Alice, and then Felicia Tillman frames Paul for her own murder to get back at him for killing her sister.
