On the eve of her first book, The Birds and the Bree's: Six Steps to a Sexier Sex Life, Bree is about to become an officially published author and she is filled with excitement. To celebrate Bree decides to make a visit to her local hair salon only to bump into her arch rival, Dr. Karen Murphy. After a frosty conversation they both learn a little secret about the true identity of their respective children's partners, a secret that troubles them both slightly. Back at the office, Bree has hired a new assistant, the small statured Alex who struggles to accept some of the realities of working with his new boss and she is visited by Gary Lim and her publishers who have dropped off the first shipment of her book. Both Robyn and Henry and Mark and Jenny both drop in for one of their regular consultations and Bree ends the day by attending a dinner party hosted by Bill, Joy and Marco. The following day we find Brett and Lisa who have finally decided to lose their virginity to each other and Bree decides its time to confront her ex-husband about his relationship with his former Men's Doubles tennis partner.
