Lynette continues to use the twins' ADD medication to prepare a dinner party for Tom's colleagues. After Andrew gets in trouble at school, Bree and Rex add to the mix by announcing that they will divorce. Susan and Mike's first date is interrupted by Mike's friend Kendra who asks him how he is doing with his mission. Susan becomes very suspicious and is surprised when the relationship turns out to be platonic. Gabrielle tries to break up Danielle and John when she becomes very selfish. Gabrielle tries to get Danielle out of the way by sponsoring her for model school but Bree refuses. Gabrielle invites John over while Juanita and Carlos are away for break-up sex. When Rex begins to shower them with gifts, Bree decides to make Andrew and Danielle refuse their gifts or they will not be allowed back home. Danielle gives in but Andrew drives away in his car. After getting rejected by his father, Andrew returns home drunk and accidentally runs over Juanita Solis, who had just caught Gabrielle and John in bed.
[edit] Quotes
- Edie: Wow, look at you. You look so pretty. I hardly even recognize you.
Susan: I have a date with Mike. We kissed, FYI.
(Susan leaves Edie and comes back after Mike tells her he has to reschedule due to an unexpected house guest)
Edie: How was your big date?
Susan: Mike had to reschedule.
Edie: Awww...because of the hot girl? With the suitcase? Over there? Gosh, how devastating for you. FYI? - Jerry Shaw: Sometimes evil drives a minivan.
- (Paul is selling his house and Edie is his realtor)
Edie: You do realize you have to disclose the fact that your wife died in the house.
Paul: I do?
Edie: Oh, yeah. Legal crap. It might be a little hard to sell because people can get freaked out by suicides. You can't blame them. Hell, I get the willies just standing here.
Paul: Is there any way I can get around it?
Edie: Off the record?
Paul: Yeah.
Edie: Well, you could say that she shot herself in the house and crawled out back to die. - Julie: (to Susan) I always assumed I'd have sex for the first time before you had it again.
