Edie Britt is the most reviled woman on Wisteria Lane, and yet her charm is that she doesn't really understand why. Strong-willed and self-employed, when Edie sees something she wants, she goes after it. And nothing will stand in her way. Twicfe divorced, a knockout6, and a legendary loose woman, when Edie learns that a handsome elegant bachelor has moved onto the lane she sets out to get him, even though Susan has gotten there first. Edie will do anything to land Mike-cozy up to his dog, bring over Ambrosia or Sausage Puttanesca, hire him to do plumbing work, even ride a mechanical bull so he can see.
It's no wonder Edie is the way she is-she is a self-made realtor and a single mother came from the wrong side of the tracks and had a troubled childhood. So at a early age she learnt to not to rely on anyone but herself. But shed is misunderstood by the women of Wisteria Lane, who view her as a menace and a threat. If any character highlights the cliquishness and snobbery of surburban women, it is Edie, who is shuinned by nearly every woman in the neighborhood
Edie's only friend is the only neighborhood gossip, Mrs. Huber, an outcast in her own right;and when Mrs. Huber is murdered, Edie asks the housewives to scatter her ashes with her, but no-one is willing to take the trip except Susan, who complies for selfish reasons.
On their rowboat ride, Susan confesses to buring down Edie's house and Edie is furious. When Susan begs for forgiveness, Edie uses it as an oppourtunity to get something she wants; acceptance from the women of the neighborhood. She wrangles her way into their weekly poker game, determined to have entry even if she is not truly liked. But Edie wants to learn the camaraderie works, seeking advice from Lynette about how she can be a good friend. When she finds that Susan is suffering from her break-up with Mike, Edie shows surprising kindness-taking Susan out for a rollicking noght on the town.
The women wind up breaking in to Paul Young's house to get tot the bottom of Mrs. Huber's murder, and Paul unexpectadly come home early. So once again Edie looks to her biggest assets for help, seducing Paul so Susan can slip out of the house. But her friendship with Susan is short lived, and before she knows it, she is warring with Susan again-over a contractor, then over Mike again after Susan and Mike get back together. And when Susan, with a gun in her back, really needs Edie's help, Edie misunderstands and calls Susan a b****. It seems these two will fight until the bitter end.
