The episode opens with a recap of the hanging in S03E23 and then goes into more detail on it. We see another character find the body and cutting her down to save her. SPOILERS This scene shows how the hanging was staged but goes wrong. Even when we're supposed to think its staged, feet are seen floating in the air, we see the character put a scarf around their neck, and kick the chair over. Then we see another character see the body from the window and climb on the chair to cut her down.

Season 1 episode 20, within first 8 minutes audio only, shes sat in new car and talking about leather smell.
Season 2 episode 11, baby v* on gabrielle and can see it on her jacket, not triggering at all tbh
Season 3 episode 6, Susan is very drunk and runs to the bathroom, audio only and super easy to see coming
Season 3 episode 16, finds out she’s pregnant and goes to bathroom - 10ish seconds later audio only, another 10ish seconds later more audio only. Found this one quite triggering, might be as it caught me off guard
Season 4 episode 1, Lynette v* in a handbag as her kid is performing in a school show around 19/20 mins, audio only
Season 4 episode 12, around 33:40 she’s kneeling down in the bathroom, audio only
Season 5 episode 3, around 35:20 kid gets up from the table and v*, audio only, not very triggering as super fake sounding
Season 5 episode 13, around 22:20 Lynette v* into the toilet, audio and slight visual. Safe when she’s out of the bathroom and on the phone
Season 5 episode 15, around 1 minute in kid v*, no visual only unrealistic sound. You can skip the first little bit of this episode and not miss anything
Season 6 episode 6, guy asks if they have a sink and runs off, few seconds later around 9:25 v* sounds no visual
Season 7 episode 1, Lynette’s baby v* on her around 15:30 after they say she has the perfect suburban family, visual and audio but not realistic
Season 7 episode 20, after trying the brownie she says ‘I need to go buy a new handbag’ then cuts to her v* into the bag outside, safe when it’s back to Tom’s office. Wasn’t /too/ awful but definitely one of the more triggering instances
Season 7 episode 23, after gaby’s stepdad is gone she leans over and v* no visual but realistic audio, safe when it’s back to in the house, found this one quite triggering!
Season 8 episode 1, Gaby has chewing tobacco, mute when she gets out of the car, v* into a bin no visual realistic audio. Safe when cuts to man in car
Season 2 episode 11, baby v* on gabrielle and can see it on her jacket, not triggering at all tbh
Season 3 episode 6, Susan is very drunk and runs to the bathroom, audio only and super easy to see coming
Season 3 episode 16, finds out she’s pregnant and goes to bathroom - 10ish seconds later audio only, another 10ish seconds later more audio only. Found this one quite triggering, might be as it caught me off guard
