Storyline

Lynette's estranged sisters, Lydia and Lucy, come to visit where they argue over taking in their irresponsible mother, Stella, who continues to be a nuisance to everyone. While having dinner with Susan and Mike, Bree and Orson realize they share different views on whether Danielle's newborn baby should be circumcised. On a boat, Victor confronts Gabrielle about her affair with Carlos, and she responds by throwing him into the ocean after thinking that he is going to murder her. Later, Bree informs Susan that she thinks Mike is a drug addict. Elsewhere, Dylan asks her mother about information about her father, in which Katherine continues to avoid talking about the issue.
