Gabrielle causes a prison riot while visiting Carlos, Lynette learns that Parker has an imaginary friend, and Susan helps Mike search for Zach
(Recap From ABC)
Lynette feels like a bad mother when she learns that Parker has invented an imaginary friend, the Mary Poppins-like Mrs. Mulberry now that she's gone back to work. Her efforts to persuade him that Mrs. Mulberry doesn't exist are useless, so she resorts to throwing away Mrs. Mulberry's umbrella and tells Parker that she's gone to another little boy who needed her more.
Only the umbrella falls out of the back of a garbage truck and is run over -- in full view of a horrified Parker. At least now he accepts that she's gone for good.
Gabrielle accidentally incites a riot at the prison when she argues with her lawyer over conjugal visits and the inmates -- who appreciate seeing her on a regular basis -- take her side. She gets a new lawyer, one who instantly hits on her, but one who also successfully gets her her conjugal visits.
Susan and Mike are still being "casual" until she accepts that Zach is part of his life. So she tells him she's OK with that and even starts helping him look for Zach. Edie sees a flyer and tells Susan she knows that Mike's Zach's real father since Julie let it slip. Susan admits she doesn't think they'll actually find Zach and Edie tells her she's trying to have it both ways -- help Mike while not having to deal with Zach.
At a park where runaways are said to hang out, Mike and Susan split up to look for Zach. Susan is buying ice cream when the vendor points out Zach to her. She goes running, sending her ice cream sundae flying everywhere. She corners Zach and he swings a piece of wood at her, so she runs to Mike. Except all she tells him is that she ate his ice cream, and doesn't mention Zach at all.
Gabrielle tells Susan she did the right thing but Bree feels Susan should help him, so she tracks him down again and buys him lunch. She tells him Paul's OK, just missing, and that he should just come back with her. But he starts to ramble obsessively about Julie and asks whether she thinks he still has a chance with her and Susan changes her mind. She encourages him to go look for Paul and asks him how much money he needs to get to Utah.
Andrew interrupts Bree saying goodnight to George and rudely tells him he should be going. George stands his ground and soon the two are shoving each other like children. Bree snaps at both of them but she's already invited George to dinner and the invitation stands. Andrew doesn't plan to be there, telling Bree she's embarrassing the family by seeing George so soon after Rex died. She threatens to withhold his swim club fees unless he shows and he reluctantly agrees.
Bree tells George that she thinks she needs to spend more time with Andrew and so they should stop seeing each other. He asks about the camp Andrew was sent to -- is that maybe an option after the way Andrew treated him? Bree says that sending Andrew to camp again would only happen if he got completely out of line.
George shows up unexpectedly at Andrew's swim meet and presents Bree with a "farewell gift" - some rare china that has her hugging him in thanks. George kisses her and Andrew is so incensed he jumps out of the pool and starts hitting him. Chalk one up for George: Andrew is next seen packing for camp.
