Plot

Bree sees a stranger at the Applewhites' house, Gabby has a fight with Sister Mary for interfering, and Susan's budding relationship gets a little confusing.

Dr. Ron informs Susan that she needs a spleenectomy, but it's the doctor's first time, which makes the neurotic Susan even more uneasy. Gabrielle is not pleased when Carlos brings up the topic of "baby" again as Carlos still wants to continue trying to conceive again. Gabrielle and her arch-enemy Sister Mary Bernard finally face off in a major cat-fight in church when Gabrielle confronts her about getting rid of her from Carlos' life. Tom decides to apply for an empty position at Lynette's firm, which revives past issues in their marriage. Matthew and Danielle's romantic relationship is found out by both their mothers, with major repercussions later on when Betty silences Bree by threatening to tell the authorities about Bree helping Andrew cover up the hit-and-run accident last year if Bree tells anyone about Caleb's presence.—Anonymous

Although now totally on top of the boys and the household, helping Lynette brainstorm and land an advertising account decides Tom's mind it's time to postulate for a job again, so he braves Lynette's objections at the price of no longer blaming her for loosing his last job and charms his way trough her boss Ed's selection procedure.... Gabrielle's refusal to promise Carlos another pregnancy leads to sister Mary Bernard suggesting 'some marriages' are so fruitless as to justify annulment, an insult and financial nightmare equaling a declaration of total war: Gabrielle makes two confessions, the second about 'a lie', the first to make Father Crowley believe her rival seduced Carlos to actual adultery, enough for a banishment to Alaska, smirkily flaunted so as to start a no-rules cat-fight send-off in church... Danielle is dumb enough to get caught with Matthew in boxers only under her bed by Bree, who for once pleads for punitive moderation after Betty not only brutally snaps her good boy but announces she's selling the house. When Bree gets a glimpse of Caleb at a window after his brother unleashed him shortly, she identifies the psycho-kid from an old newspaper and threatens Betty with the police, but the prospect of separation made the teenage lovers exchange secrets, shortly after which Andrew's gets found out by poker-player Betty too.. Susan wrestles with being attractive doctor Ron McCreadie's patient: first he has ethical objections against intimacy during her therapy, then she lacks the courage to welcome him as surgeon for the rare spleen-operation she needs, for him a welcome first... .—KGF Vissers

Bree starts to get involved with the Applewhites after she learns her daughter is dating the son and sees a stranger in their house. Meanwhile, Gabby has a run-in with Sister Mary for interfering with her relationship, and Susan's budding relationship with the doctor grows in a confusing manner as she starts to have reservations about his experience.—Jenn
