The Best Thing That Ever Could Have - S5 E13
Neighborhood handyman Eli Scruggs dies of a heart attack on top of Susan’s roof, shaking up all the women of Wisteria Lane, who each remember how much a difference he made in their lives. Gabrielle remembers how Eli helped her make friends when she first moved to Fairview by suggesting she host one of the weekly poker parties.
Gaby’s insistence on making a dramatic entrance and her tales of her glamorous days as a model fail to win over her new suburban neighbors, however. The next time Eli stops in, he tells her, “I went out on a limb to get you into that game and then you go in there and act like you’re better than they are.” He advises her, “Drop the attitude.
Learn to like your neighbors.” Gaby shows up with a muffin basket to the next poker game, which she wasn’t invited to, and apologizes for starting off on the wrong foot. “What I should have said was, ‘My husband’s never home. I miss the city. I miss my life. I’m lonely all the time and I could really use some friends.’” This time, the women welcome her with open arms.
