551
Well, I hope that your, you know, little
secret keeps you warm at night,

552
because you're throwing something
really great away to protect it.

553
Susan, you got to take my kids for a while.

554
Lynette, this just really isn't the time --

555
no, no, I'm sorry, but I can't do this.

556
It's just --it's too much.

557
Boys, you stay with your aunt Susan.

558
Lynette, you know, when are you coming back?

559
Lynette?!

560
Lynette!

561
There's Lynette's car. She's got to be close.

562
I hope the kids aren't too much for Danielle to handle.

563
She'll be fine.

564
What do you think's happening with Lynette?

565
I don't know, but I'm scared.

566
Something's very, very wrong.

567
Lynette, honey?

568
Are you okay?

569
Father.

570
I'm -- I'm so glad you could
come and pray for mama.

571
Please, sit, sit.

572
Thank you, Gabrielle.

573
Listen, since you're here,

574
there's something I've always wondered about.

575
That whole thing about priests not being allowed
to repeat what they hear in confessions --

576
is that a hard rule or just a general guide line?

577
Rest assured, everyone's secrets are safe.

578
That's good to hear.

579
I'll keep yours, too, if you want to talk.

580
Oh, me?

581
No, no.

582
Confession's not really my thing.

583
That's a shame.

584
Okay, you can stop condemning me with your eyes.

585
Right now.

586
I know you know about the affair,

587
but you know nothing about my life.

588
Look, it's not even an issue anymore.
John and I are finished.

589
Gabrielle, the church is pretty clear on this.

590
If you commit a mortal sin and
you die without repenting,

591
you go to hell.

592
Well, aren't you just a ball of fun.

593
So if I confess, it'll clean the slate, right?

594
Not only that.

595
If you want god's forgiveness,
you have to be truly sorry,

596
and you have to promise not to commit the sin again.

597
So what happens if I repent later,

598
like, say, when I'm 75?

599
I wouldn't recommend waiting.
What if you die before then?

600
Well, let's say I don't die.
