After witnessing the real George Williams in action, Bree stands her ground and continues to brush him off. Bree visits the hospital to see her therapist, Dr Goldfine, and when he reveals that a person with a blue bike pushed him off the bridge, realisation hits home.

George later calls Bree in a state of panic when he finds the police raiding his house. Later, at a charity function, George checks into a room at the same venue and sends Bree a note via a porter: ‘Bree, I can’t live with you thinking I’m a bad person. I’ve taken some pills. If you could do me one last kindness, please come up and say goodbye. I’m in room # 617. George’. A phone call from Detective Barton reveals that the police found incriminating evidence in George’s house which leads them to believe that George was responsible for Rex’s death. Bree makes her way up to his room in the lift, only to find him still alive on his bed. She soon confronts him about what he did to Dr Goldfine and ultimately her husband, only to leave him over-dosed on the bed claiming an ambulance is on its way…
