Complete story — includes the ending

Chuck interrogates Susan, Lynette, and Gabrielle individually at the police station, but the women deny knowing Alejandro. Ostracized by her friends, Bree gets drunk at a bar and is later consoled by Ben. Renee sees Ben hugging Bree outside her house and assumes they are having an affair. Worried about their children, Lynette confesses to Tom that she is an accessory to Alejandro's murder just as he is about to leave for Paris with Jane. Tom agrees to stay, and an upset Jane boards the plane alone. At Felix's suggestion, Susan considers moving to New York City to evade Chuck and explore new career opportunities, but Mike refuses to join her. After Chuck visits Gabrielle with evidence that Alejandro was her stepfather, she attempts to contact Carlos at the rehabilitation center he is staying at, but is informed that he has checked himself out, so she leaves in search of him. Chuck is run over and killed by a hit-and-run driver. Bree checks into a motel room with a bottle of wine and a gun, where she sees a vision of Mary Alice.
