The Yellow House

Movement 3 starts on August 27, 2005. Lynette and Broom live in Harlem, only three houses apart. Broom works at O, the Oprah Magazine and Lynette is a makeup artist. Lynette and Broom are at the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, NY. Meanwhile, Ivory Mae is in New Orleans, evacuating her home amid Hurricane Katrina. Karen and her two children are nearby. Troy heads to meet them from work. Karen goes to pick him up, but he is dropped off at the wrong place. On his way to Missouri, Eddie calls to tell them to leave. They find Troy. They head to Hattiesburg, Mississippi to see a cousin. They run out of gas in Ozark, Alabama. Michael tells Lynette and Broom that he is in Texas. This is a lie. Carl brings his family to a shelter set up for employees of the Regional Transit Authority. He returns home to wait. Amelia is a resident in Chateau Estates nursing home. No one knows where Amelia is, but they think she is being evacuated with the other patients of the home.
