Bree is one of the important characters as well as Gabrielle and Lynette. She is known as a charismatic housewife among the entire neighborhood.
In this scene, Bree appeares to offer her condolences to Alice's husband and son, well-groomed with her home-made bread. She seems a perfect wife and mother, but her family doesn't think so at all.

(Bree) Paul, Zachary.

(Zachary) Hello, Mrs.Van De Kamp.

(Paul) Bree, you shouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

(Bree) It was no trouble at all. Now the bascket with red ribbon filled with dessert is for your guests. But the one with the blue ribbon is for you and Zachary. It's got roles, muffins, breakfast type things.

(Paul) Thank you.

(Bree) The least I could do was make sure you boys had a decent meal to look forward to in the morning. I know you're out of your minds with grief.

(Paul) Yes, we are.

(Bree) Of course, I will need the basckets back once you're done.

(Paul) Of course.
