Bree:

While Sam and Bree are shopping at the grocery store, Sam runs into a mysterious woman, whom he gets into a heated argument with. Bree witnesses it, shocked, and Sam tries to play it off like nothing happened. Didn’t Bree realize that something fishy was going on with Sam like two episodes ago?

In typical Wisteria fashion, Bree goes into the grocery store to talk to the woman. Turns out she, like we guessed, is Sam’s mother, who is supposed to be dead. Anyway, apparently Rex had written a letter to Sam’s mother years ago, asking for full custody and saying he could give Sam a better life (Rex neglected to mention this whole situation to Bree, by the way), and Sam’s mother never replied back. Sam found the letter a few months ago and was beyond furious. We’d also like to note that Mr. Cherry did a great job picking suspenseful soap opera music during this scene.

When Bree confronts Orson, he lovingly gloats to her, “I wasn’t listening; I was thinking about how right I was [about Sam].” Wow, their relationship turned around fast. It seems like only yesterday Orson hated Bree and tried to kill himself.

Sam walks in and Bree confronts him about lying about his mother. “She is dead. To me,” as Sam said. It turns out Sam is a little brat. Instead of being grateful for how hard his mother had to work, he complains about how his mother didn’t love him because she didn’t allow him the life he was “entitled” to. Seriously Sam, your mother clearly didn’t want to lose the only thing she had left. She sacrificed everything for you. But instead, Sam throws a vase and smashes it, before quickly changing the subject to catering.

In probably the most adorable moment of the episode, Bree embraces Andrew and apologizes to him. At least Bree and her real son are reconciled! Of course, Andrew says, “As long as [the apology] comes with one of your muffins, I may just accept it.” When Orson asks what the trio should do about Sam, Bree reveals her fears: “To be perfectly honest, I’m afraid of him.” Well, he is a pathological liar with a temper. We’d be a little freaked out too.

Susan and Gaby:

Gaby is always one to flaunt her wealth, so when Susan’s aunt Regina dies and Susan inherits her grand piano, Susan is thrilled that she’ll have something to brag to Gaby about.  She plans to let slip the value of the piano but accidentally leave out the fact that she inherited it, not bought it.

Gaby, meanwhile, begs Carlos to buy her a ski house, only to find out that he used the money for something else.  He won’t tell her what he did with the money, so Gaby decides to find out for herself (it’s probably best that we don’t explain exactly how she manages to get the financial planner to tell her everything).  She discovers that he had given 50,000 dollars to Mike because he’s having some financial problems.  Being the thoughtful and caring neighbor that is far from her typical character, Gaby decides to buy groceries for Susan.

Susan gratefully accepts the groceries and proceeds to invite Gaby into her home, obviously enjoying the look on her friend’s face when she sees the massive piano.  Gaby automatically assumes that Susan just borrowed money from Carlos in order to buy it.  She’s so enraged that she leaves and then comes back in, demanding that Susan pay her the 50 grand and expecting Susan to fess up.  The look on Susan’s face makes Gaby realize that she actually had no idea what was going on.

The two women are stunned that neither husband informed them of the money, so they plot to get back at them.  Gaby and Susan make a surprisingly good team when they want revenge.  Susan holds a dinner party for the two couples, and the plan is set in motion.

While helping Mike in the kitchen, Gaby confesses to Mike that she thinks Carlos is having an affair because she found out he gave a large sum of money to a secret person.  When the four adults gather at dinner, Gaby starts accusing Susan of being the woman with whom Carlos is having an affair. “Carlos, we might as well confess,” Susan says, looking at Gaby.  Both Carlos and Mike’s facial expressions were priceless.  Finally, the two men figure out that the women know everything, and they apologize.

“I only did this to show you what it feels like when the person who is supposed to love you the most lies to you,” Susan tells Mike, who then promises never to keep secrets about money from her anymore.  Carlos looks at Gaby, expecting a similar answer.  Instead, she says, “Oh, I just did it because I want a ski chalet.”

Lynette:

Ever since Lynette brought Eddie into her house, he’s acted like the model child.  He has bought groceries and finished the twins’ chores without any complaints.  That’s kind of him and everything, but it sounds suspicious to us.  What’s he up to?

One day, Lynette and Porter get into a fight about the laundry.  Porter is supposed to meet his friends at the mall, and the last thing on his mind is to fold his laundry.  He ignores his mother’s orders, calls her a bitch,[w1] and starts to walk out the door.

Eddie takes the insult personally and overreacts.  He tackles Porter and nearly smashes his face into the ground, but Lynette stops him in time.  Sheepishly, Eddie tells Lynette, “I just can’t watch you be disrespected.”

Lynette recalls growing up and taking care of an alcoholic mother, so she sort of understands where Eddie is coming from.  “When I was your age,” she tells Eddie, “I had to find a way to control myself” and proceeds to demonstrate her method for doing do.  Too bad she hadn’t told Eddie this earlier, before he started murdering innocent young women.

Tom comes home one night, cranky and hungry for dinner.  He starts yelling at Lynette because there is no dinner for him, and Eddie starts to feel stressed.  He tries counting and taking deep breaths, but he feels more stressed out by the minute.  Lynette notices the look in Eddie’s eyes and runs over to make up with Tom before Eddie tries to attack him.  She keeps kissing Tom until he shuts up and Eddie realizes everything is okay.  Afterward, Lynette makes Tom promise that he will start treating her better.

The next day, Eddie goes to therapy.  After the session, the therapist tells Lynette that Eddie’s mother needs to come to the next appointment.  Too bad that when Lynette goes looking for Barbara, no one appears to be home (remember from last week that Eddie killed her right before moving in with the Scavos).  “No one’s seen Barbara in days,” a neighbor remarks.  The scene is really suspicious, and we’re starting to wonder if Eddie will try to attack Lynette for snooping around his house.  After all, he can’t let anyone find out what he did to his mother.

On a side note, Lynette looks like she is going to explode any day now.  When is her baby due?

Angie:

Basically, the back story behind Angie and Patrick Logan is that he wanted to attack people he thought were threatening the planet, so they got involved in building a bomb, which resulted in the death of someone. Logan didn’t care, but a then pregnant Angie wanted to turn herself in. It turns out, Nick was the agent who convinced Angie to run away with him and raise the baby as their own.

Once again, Logan comes into the coffee shop while an unsuspecting Danny works. Logan is facing problems finishing his story because “endings are a bitch.”  We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. Nick comes into the shop, and Danny refers to him as dad, which is twice as ironic with Logan sitting right there. Nick walks closer to Logan but does not recognize him. After Nick leaves, Danny gives advice on how to finish out the story, leading Logan to reply, “You’re right. Payback’s really important.”

And that revenge comes sooner than we think as Nick, out on an evening jog, gets run over by Logan. Mary Alice in her usual foreboding way tells us that “[Logan’s] plan for revenge was just getting started.”

Nick survived and is in the hospital. He tells Angie that she has to run or hide out for a few weeks, fearing that Logan finally found them after 20 years. Angie finally agrees, but she refuses to leave town and Nick, sending Danny off with money.

When she goes back to the hospital, Nick reveals that he is going to be put in a coma for a few days and makes Angie promise that she will leave with Danny. However, we doubt she’s going to actually listen to him.

Angie walks into her house, filled with lit candles for some reason, and Logan stands up from a chair. Holding Angie’s gun that he found. Logan tells Angie, “You are going to do me a favor” before expressing how tired he was from “searching your house for firearms and running down Dudley.”

Predictions:

Nothing exciting.
