[edit] Season Three

Art Shepard moved to Wisteria Lane during the beginning of third season along with his sister, Rebecca. Art seems to be a nice man who is simply caring for his ill sister.

He saves Lynette Scavo's life when she is shot by Carolyn Bigsby at the market and she decides to make him a cake. She arrives at Art's house with Parker and ventures in when she discovers he's out. Parker sneaks down into Art's basement and finds out that it is filled with arcade games and action figures. Lynette finds a wall filled with small photographs of half naked teenage boys. Lynette and Tom tell everyone that he is a pedophlie which provokes that town to form a mob outside his house and form a hate campaign. Rebecca has a cardiac arrest and later dies in the hospital. In the same night Art was packing his things to move Lynette tries to aplogize, but Art simply replies now that his sister is dead, who knows what he will do, implying that he was a pedophlie all along.
