ABC 1234 Bree is in my top 5 best ever TV character, at no.2 next to Samantha Jones.

[@averymartin321]

Bree has always and always be my favorite character. She had the biggest growth and actually dealt with the most trauma next to Katherine. But regardless for better or worse she was an amazing friend and a very good person. I didn't blame her when she was " fuck y'all " to them. They deserved it.

Nice call back to season 1 of Bree covering up a crime! Only in the final season did it take a complete dark turn. If Mary Alice was still alive I think she would have been able to keep the other ladies calm.

Sorry but Luynette and Susan were the most realistic ones, it was a body of a person, not something you take out of sight and it's gone, as Mary Alice said this is way bigger than Bree was thinking. It was silly trying to cover but it was a tv show, I liked the following steps. Bree definily could be a serial killer, she distorts the things to make sense for her and is cold as ice wen she wants. lol

[@AlexG-tf9bi]

When there's a body in the chest the stupid first world psychological pseudo-problems take a back seat.

[@nevertalksss3414]

Alex G Nah trust me on this one, it follows you to the grave. Remember the tie story in Rex's funeral?

[@AlexG-tf9bi]

Well, yes, but the context in that scene is entirely different, Bree had not killed Rex, she was not hiding him and in a rush to get rid of the body. Moreover, that was the Season 2 premiere, set in 2005, this is the Season 8 premiere, set in 2016, over 10 years after that event, and way after Bree's primary characteristic stopped being her OCD.

[@therealsamtheman]

Bree has never been diagnosed with OCD. She likes things to be clean and tidy because her mother was killed by a car, and her blood was all over the street. Bree washed it off and then she felt better, also in 8x17's flashback we see how tidy Bree's mother kept her childhood home. She searches through a stack of newspapers and casually drops them on the ground, she leaves birthday cake on the dining room floor for a couple of hours and she lets Katherine clean the ovens when they're running the catering business together. But yh, Bree would have moved the plates XD

If someone calls the phone then they know the last location (i.e. they can find the body)

[@skullsaintdead]

Exactly my thoughts. Although not the exact location, they'd know the general area, where his phone pinged off the tower, and that he likely didn't just go missing but was killed and buried. Plus, if he made or received any calls along the ride or in the house then they'd be able to retrace his movements through the towers. Not good.

[@killianmmmoore]

All the girls have to do then surely would have been to take the phone and make a call in a different location? Away from the body

[@stefanmakara373]

@@skullsaintdead that makes no sense. If you could track movement like that, many kidnapped people would have been found, easily.

[@skullsaintdead]

@@stefanmakara373 Look it up. They get pings which go off mobile phone towers so the cops know the general vacinity of the last recieved communication & often times in what direction the mobile is travelling because of the date stamps from pings off the towers. Its not the exact location though, just an area.

She had every right to freak out I mean she went from being a mother of a child to an accessory to murder it’s enough to make someone freak out completely and rightfully so they had that fear hanging over their heads that someone would find out what really happened and would go ahead have them arrested for the crime it’s got to be extremely scary for everyone involved
