Bree means business
Bree is still in shock after Mercedes’ kiss with Remi and is perplexed as to why she went after him if she doesn’t feel anything for him.

Xander makes a shock confession
Rose calls the police to look into Mali’s home after finding it vandalised. She argues that the graffiti’stay away from my wife’ is blatantly targeted vandalism, but Mali is confident he is unaware of it.
Later, a uniformed Rose is compelled to fulfil her duty and interrogate Mali in person about the danger, but he doesn’t appreciate her implying that he has been seeing someone else.
