Plot

Mama Solis awakens from her coma, as Gabrielle and Carlos fret over their financial issues; Lynette befriends a deaf woman; Bree encounters more trouble when disciplining Andrew; Susan finds herself attracted to Edie's hunky new contractor.

Juanita Solis awakes from her long coma with the sole desire to tell son Carlos about Gabrielle's secret infidelity with John, but dies in a staircase accident without anyone hearing the truth. Carlos was so unwise to tell his wife thanks to crafty lawyers there is a way to keep the house if he goes to jail a few months, so now the gold-digger claims she shouldn't suffer, and takes her objections to spending a fortune on a 'queen's funeral' as far as to walk out on the grand Catholic burial procession -Bree takes the lead- when she sees he bought a monumental tomb, but afterward she gets her way just for the promise to control her 'needs' while he's imprisoned. Furthermore, the hospital pays her off to keep quiet about the staff's part in the fatal accident. After Andrew, caught smoking weed with friends, drives away rather then face the music, loving dad Rex is relieved the owner doesn't press charges, but Bree digs up brochures of hell-camps for troubled teenagers she collected and arranges for Rex to witness Andrew at his rudest so he'll let her call the staff to literally drag the poor boy away to the one with the toughest security. When the Scavos find out their boys' schoolfriend Lily's father foulmouths his deaf wife literally behind her back, Tom would wisely stay out, but Lynette attacks Dennis Stevens openly, only to be scolded herself by 'not helpless' Alicia in sign-language translated by little Lily. When man-eater Edie's clearly 'desired' contractor asks Susan out, she still asks permission, but despite confirmation those two aren't a romantic item, Edie just forbids it, and publicly acts on her jealousy by principle. Meanwhile Mike gives Susan an envelop to explain his past, but she ends up returning it unopened.—KGF Vissers
