Susan calls the doctor and demands to know why he prescribed birth control without her consent. She realizes that Edie impersonated her and goes to tell her off.

Carlos tackles him and he reveals that he's simply the messenger and gets his employer on the phone. The identity of Gabrielle's wealthy admirer remains a secret, but once he reveals the price tag of the latest present, a diamond necklace, she agrees to meet him for lunch, even though Carlos wants her to call the cops on him.
Gabrielle wears the dress to the luncheon and eagerly watches each man pass by to see who her admirer is going to be. She's not expecting it to be Zach! He tells her since he inherited his grandfather's money he's no longer the shy, awkward kid she used to know, but she insists he's still too young for her.
When Carlos asks how her date went, she lies and says she just didn't hit it off with the guy. But he ribs her about it being Zach, because he was parked across the street to keep an eye on her.

He reassures her he's just up the street if she ever needs him.
Tom forbids Lynette to visit the restaurant before it opens, because he knows she's just going to criticize everything. She sneaks by when he's gone and is impressed with how good it looks. Andrew, whom Tom has hired to work there, tells her that Tom was turned down for a liquor license because some of the neighbors wouldn't agree to it. Without the license, the restaurant is certain to fail. Mrs. McCluskey suggests she help Tom without letting him know about it. She goes to convince the neighbors who wouldn't sign the waiver and finds just one holdout: an older man whose walls are covered with photos of the busty showgirls he used to know in Vegas. She notices his eyes are drifting to her breasts so she makes him an offer he can't refuse: a flash for his signature. "So worth it," he says as he signs.
Tom is crushed when he realizes that it was Lynette who got the holdouts to sign the waiver, since she accomplished in one day what he couldn't in two months. He says he doesn't feel like a man since he always needs her help. She assures him that he's always helped her with her job, and that she's going to give him all the help he needs with the restaurant.
