Bree is introduced to Keith's parents, Richard Watson (John Schneider) and Mary Wagner (Nancy Travis). Richard is retired from the army and Mary is Bree's gynecologist for some time, but none of them are aware of Bree's relation with Keith. Richard and Mary's relation is strained, and after a Thanksgiving dinner with Keith and Bree, Mary declares she wants a divorce. Richard moves in with Keith following his separation from Mary and appears to be depressed. Taking pity on him, Bree invites him out to dinner with her and Keith. This becomes a regular routine, much to Keith's annoyance who wants to be alone with Bree. Richard later takes a fancy to Bree, and even tries to kiss her on one occasion. When Keith finds out, he attacks Richard while the residents of Wisteria Lane are staging a protest against Paul Young's Halfway House. Several protestors mistake Keith for a convict and attack him, ensuing a riot on the lane.
