(Recap From ABC)
Lynette and Tom decide it’s time for Preston and Porter to move out. They end up finding a place right away and it’s even nearby. In fact, their new pad is right across the street. The Scavo boys are moving in with Mrs. McCluskey. Tom says, “This is not leaving the nest. This is more like nest-adjacent.”
Lynette is horrified to learn that her boys have roped Mrs. McCluskey into doing all the things she used to do for them. Their new landlord doesn’t seem to mind one bit, so Lynette suggests that her boys have a big party to show everyone their new digs. Sounds like a plan!
The day after what was obviously a blowout bash, Mrs. McCluskey returns Preston and Porter to their mother, who apologizes for coddling them for so long. That’s over now. It’s time for them to go out and live their own lives. To help get them started, Lynette will teach them how to make her famous Denver omelet. Pass the eggs, boys. Pass the eggs.
When Susan gets pulled over for blowing a stop sign, the cop lets her off with a warning once he learns she’s heading to her dialysis appointment. Susan later plays the bad kidney card at the supermarket so that the other shoppers will let her cut in line. Her dialysis story even gets her out of jury duty.
Renee says, “Susan, using your disease to manipulate and deceive people? I’ve never felt closer to you.” The two of them decide to use this new evil power to score lunch reservations at a snazzy restaurant. But another customer calls them out and they are both sent to the back of the line. Moments later, Susan collapses to the floor. She no longer needs a table at the restaurant. Now she needs an ambulance.
As part of her therapy, Gaby takes a trip back to her hometown to read a letter to her dead stepfather at his grave. She hasn’t been home in some time, so Gaby is a little surprised to see that she’s considered a celebrity in this small town. Pictures from her modeling days are all over the wall of the local diner. There’s even a nacho platter named after her! The principal at her old school wants her to speak to his students. Suddenly this trip back home doesn’t seem so bad.
Gaby runs into a nun named Sister Marta. It’s obvious these two have met before. Gaby mentions a discussion they had 20 years ago. As it turns out, Sister Marta is the one person Gaby confided in regarding the abuse she was suffering at the hands of her stepfather. But the nun didn’t believe her. Gaby was a child and she turned to her teacher for help. She lets Sister Marta know that she should be ashamed of herself for not believing her. This confrontation was exactly what Gaby needed to put her past behind her. She and Carlos can now go home.
Keith is still mad a Bree for keeping the news of his son from him for a week. To make matters worse, Amber and Charlie are heading back to Florida. That’s not going to work for him. He wants to move to the Sunshine State and he hopes Bree will agree to go with him. The only other option would be if he went without her. Of course, that would mean the end of their relationship. Bree realizes that’s the way it has to be. They both love each other, but there’s a little boy in Florida who needs his dad. She knows that Keith needs his son, too.
Mike and Paul drive an angry Zach to rehab. The kid has two choices. He can either dry out in hospital or take his chances in jail for shooting his father. Zach chooses rehab where he tells Paul that he’s hated him all of his life. He thinks Paul is the reason his mom killed herself. His venomous words really sting. When Paul returns home, he confronts Beth about being Felicia’s daughter. He boots her out of the house. Beth is left standing alone in the middle of Wisteria Lane holding nothing but her suitcase and her gun.
