Mary Alice starts by telling us that Gabby is a demanding shopper. Whatever purchase she makes, she expects the best. Now her expectations were being put to the tets as she was shopping for a baby and there was a problem with the manufacturer. A woman went to meet them at their house and she was really ugly so Gabby told Carlos she didn't want her baby. Carlos said looks has nothing to do with it but Gabby was set on having a good looking mom, thinking the baby would get the genes. Carlos was looking closer at the woman and realizing she was really bad so they rejected the offer to get that woman's baby. As she was drving away , Mary Alice said "yes...Gabby had always been a demanding shppoer because she knew that there were some purchases that can't be returned". At the lawyers offcie they were looking at pregnant women and Gabby said "one is uglier than the next". Lawyer said he found 1 more, she walked in, her name was Libby and she was very pretty. Carlos and Gabby were intersted in adopting her baby. She told them she was a pole dancer at a strip club. They asked who the father was, she said she didn't know, that many times guys bought her drinks and she'd get carried away. She asked if she'd get presents for giving them her baby, they said they would get her something, not sure what. She later denied them for the adoption because they were Mexican. Gabby was furious. Told Carlos they can't judge on the color of skin and he said just like she's judging on looks and Gabby replied "I read the constitution and it doesn't protect ugly people" 
Went to see Libby. All she really wanted was more money and/or
gifts, it really had nothing to do with nationality. Gabby gave her
her 3 k diamond necklace and promised more to come. Libby said not
to mention it to the lawyer. Gabby told Libby "you're smarter than I
thought" and Libby said "I'm smarter than everybody thinks".Lynette Lynette was hiring a woman Veronica to work for them. Veronica wasn't sure she wanted the job but when Lynette heard she was breastfeeding her son, she showed Veronica the daycare and she accepted the job offer as long as she was allowed to breastfeed during work hours, Lynette agreed. Lynette, Ed and others then saw Veronica breastfeeding her son who turned out to be 5 yeard old.
They told Lynette to ask her to stop. She suggested to Veronica that
Donovan was a little old and Veronica was telling her the pros of
breastfeeding, including that it raises kids IQ scores. As she's
telling Lynette that, Lynette's boys were making a mess in the
daycare and Veronica turned to Lynette and said "had you weaned them
later, they'd me more civilized" and said if the office wasn't happy
about her breastfeeding, they could talk to her lawyer.Later Donovan went to see Lynette saying he wanted his mom because he was thirsty. Lynnette was drinking chocolate milk and gave it to him. He had a big smile on his face. Later Lynette saw veronica crying in the office and she asked what was wrong. She told her that her son wasn't interested in breats milk anymore and then complained that she'd have to join a gym because she'd gain weight now. (another Gabby??) Bree Bree was at her AA meeting. When asked to talk, she said she couldn't top the speech of the guy before her. At the coffee tab;e, she was clening up all the crumbs and arranging the napkins etc.. and a man started talking to her. Asked her when she stopped drinking and she told him she wasn't an alcoholic, she him about Andrew. He gave her his card and said if she ever had a problem or felt like talking to call him. Bree then brought food up to Andrew and his lawyer. Andrew told her she wouldn't have to do that if she'd let him go to his lawyer's and she said she will "retain my parental rights to ground your sorry behind until kingdom come" The lawyer told Andrew they need to convince her that it's in her best interest to let Andrew go. Later Bree's at Macy's finishing a glass of wine. She asks for the bill, then sees Andrew and Justin at the cash. She asks what he's doing there, he is grounded and that he has no money to buy anything. He had her credit card and she took it back. he told her that she should give it back or he'll tell authorities that he is remembering all the abuse he took as a child. He said the angrier he gets the more he remembers the repressed memories of Bree touching him in places she shouldn't have. She told him they won't believe that and he said they may not believe it, but they will always wonder. Bree furious, he takes the card back from her and says "c'mon Justin, I'll buy you something pretty". Bree goes back to the bar and asks for a glass of wine and tells the waiter to leave the bottle there. Later she's passed out in the changing rooms, on the floor and the store was closed. She tried to get out, then got stuck between the bars of the store at the door. She called the guy who gave her his card and he showed up with a security guard who let her out. She was sitting in the guys car and told him about Andrew and said "it's no wonder I drink". She tells him he should've known her when Rex was alive and her kids were young and said "you really would've liked me" and he said "I like you just fine" and she said (holding back the tears "really? because I don't"  Applewhite's Matthew asks Betty to borrow 50$ to buy Danielle a birthday gift, she refuses and tells him to write her a poem. He tells her he hates to beg for money and hates that she won't let him get a job. Suggests putting Caleb away, he needs help. She doesn't want to. Caleb comes down and asks if they're fighting. Betty said "no" Matthew was just asking for money to buy Danielle a birthday gift. Matthew said he wants to get her something nice like jewelry and Betty gave him 20$ and said he can't spoli her too much. Later Danielle gets home and is calling for Andrew and "mom" but noone is home. Walking to her room, she sees the door a little open. She walks in and Caleb was sitting on her bed. She asked him what he was doing there and he showed her a broach and said "happy birthday". She tells him to leave. He asks her if she'll wear it and she says no and says "didn't you hear me you freak? Leave!" Caleb looking upset walks down the hall to leave, she closes the door and rests standing behind it. Susan Dr.Ron went to see Susan the day she was being released and asked her who Mike was. She insisted she didn't know a Mike. He asked who she was married to and Susan tells him the story. He says "you swear you're going to divorce him?" and she swears she will, he then says "and you're sure you're not in love with a guy named Mike" and she hesitates and says she's sure. She invited him over for dinner to meet Karl. At dinner Karl and Ron are getting along great. Karl and ron said they'll do the dishes and when Ron kisses Susan , Karl seems jealous. (Susan had told Karl the story about Mike and Ron etc... earlier) Karl goes into the kitchen and sees Mike get home. he loosens the pipes under the sink and as Karl and Ron are doing the dishes, Ron notices the link. Karl tells him to go across the street, a plumber "Delfino" lived there. Ron goes to Mike's and tells him about the leak at Susan's. As Mike is getting ready he tells Ron "you can call me Mike" (because he asked "Mr.Delfino" to help). Susan freaking that Karl sent Ron to Mike's leaves the house in her wheelchair and falls out of it. In the meantime Ron and Mike are talking and Mike says that he and Susan used to date. Ron runs out and yells "liar" to Susan as she's trying to get back in her chair, he kind of knocks her over again. mie comes out and he and Ron start to argue. Ron drives off and Susan is upset that Mike made her lose her boyfriend. Later Mike shows up at Susan's (said Julie let him in) and asks how she could let Ron talk to her like that. She tells him she deserved it. He asked what she did and she just tells him that she said something to him before she underwent surgery. julie then bring Susan the phone and says it's Ron. Mike said they can talk about it later and Susan said "what's the point?" and Mike left. Mary Alice then says at that precise moment as doctoe Hanson Mills was cutting yet another umbilical cord, other ties were being severedall over town... like the one between a child and a mother who didn't want him to grow up so quickly -we see Veronica with Donavan or the one between a case of fine wine and the housewife who hadn't wanted to admit she had a problem -we see Bree with wine or the one between the woman and the boyfriend who wouldn't forgive her betrayal -Dr.Ron on the phone the choice to sever from what we love is painful -we see a guy with his arms aaround Libby and her belly and he says "how are my girls?" and she answers they're doing good. the only thing worse is when someone we've trusted has made the choice for us |
