Wisteria Lane is near panic after a break-in, but is also brings around the attractive and flirtatious policeman Rick Thompson, just what Susan was looking for to replace or even better work up jealousy from Mike Delfino, who might well be the burglar as the screw-driver missing from his workshop fits the one found at the burglary site; alas she finds Rick never handed it in to the forensic lab, such minor crimes aren't actual police priorities... While their kids enjoy a weekend with dad Rex, obsessive housewife Bree turns her mother-hen attention to Paul Young's motherless son Zach, her Andrew's age, who clearly misses his ma but reacts weirdly, excessively emotional when she has to delay a home cooking invitation and returning the favor with un-seasonal decoration...

To Gabrielle's horror, cuckolded Carlos has asked his overbearing mother Juanito, as feared suspecting infidelity - shopping serves neither to bond nor to bribe the battle-ax, but the shop security has other possibilities, anything to shield the joy of joining young John from inquisitive in-laws...
