Things change for Addison later however when he calls her up from jail needing her to bail him out. When she shows up she finds out he has been arrested for solicitation. He say's he was entrapped because he asked the prostitute 3 times of she was a cop and, according to Addison "they have to tell you". I have heard that so many times in the movies that I'm starting to wonder if it's an old wives tale. A quick visit to snopes.com confirms that this is in fact a bunch of hooey. There is nothing in the law that prohibits the police from lying to suspects. So for all you readers out there with a taste for whores, and I can name 4 off the top of my head, keep that in mind. And don't say I never looked out for ya.

I'm not gonna lie. Thats a lot of jowls.

When Susan goes to drop him off, he asks her if he's off the hook for the whole "father daughter thing". Susan is adamant and insists they have coffee this week. Addison agrees and as he leaves his car we see his wife in her car across the street seeing then together in the car. The next morning when Susan goes to get her paper she sees that the word "whore" has been painted on her garage door. But since this is Susan she doesn't notice right away and instead has a conversation with a neighbor all the while oblivious to the giant red whore sign right behind her. Oh Susan!

After Addison sees the graffiti on Susan's garage door he confirms that it is indeed his wife Carol's handwriting. Susan says she has to tell her the truth. Addison says he'll talk to her. Later when Susan is grocery shopping, Carol sees her and starts attacking her by throwing her groceries at her. Man, I hate Susan schtick. When Susan blurts out that she is his son she stops stunned. She says that they were married when he had the affair and it means he has been cheating on her for years. She warns Susan not to get to close because he will break her heart.

Later, when Susan is painting over the whore on her garage door Addison shows up. He says he isn't proud of what he's done, but there are some things he's proud of. He says she is one for the things he can be most proud of. He tells her he needs some time to work on his marriage but when that's done he wants to know if they can still get to know each other. She says she will wait for his call. Then Addison drives off and gets a blumpkin from the tranny on the corner of 34th and Washington for 20 bucks.

At Lynette’s work she is approaching her boss Ed with an idea for getting day care at the office. All they need is Ed's kid to join and that will make the minimum 16 kids needed. Unfortunately Ed says that his wife Fran won't let their kid out of her sight, but Lynette can try if she wants. Lynette calls his wife in to talk and when she gives her the day care pitch, she isn't buying it. Fran is played by Penelope Ann Miller, raising the number of Academy Award nominee actresses on the show to 2. Not too shabby eh?

When Fran opts out of the day care plan Lynette seems to reluctantly accept it. As Fran is leaving however, she asks Lynette why she had kids if she didn’t want to raise them? Lynette defensively says that she is a very good mother, minus a few drug addictions here and some lying there. Fran says she couldn't be happy with being just a good mother; she wants to be a great mother. Sorry lady, but that job is filled. With that we get a look on Lynette's face that simply says "Bring. It. On." Fran is going down.

In classic Lynette style she next decides to manipulate Ed. “IF you don’t stand up to her you’ll get more resentful, and without a proper father figure Mindy will grow up to be a stripper". That’s right, without day care she will be a stripper. Gee, I never had day care and I only stripped for a few years and then moved on to a successful career as a blogger/ Motorcross superstar. How do you explain that one Lynette? Although, in her defense, Mindy’s mom was nominated for an Oscar for playing a stripper, so it’s in the genes.

Because Ed is Ed, he falls for it and the next time we see him he has baby in tow. And Ed also being an idiot he tells Lynette that he just grabbed the baby and ran while Fran was in the shower. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but again, that’s an old EdHill saying. I don’t do that anymore. When Fran shows up Livid, Ed hands Lynette the baby while they fight. In order or break it up Lynette locks herself into the glass conference room with the baby and refuses to come out until they have made up. This of course works like a charm (kidnapping babies always does!) and Fran and Ed bond and Lynette finally gets her daycare. Once again we learn an important lesson from Lynette. Lying is always the answer.

Meanwhile Gabrielle is showing up to church hopping mad because Carlos forgot their massage appointment. Carlos was helping frizzed out Sister Mary with mailings for the churches upcoming trip to Botswana. When Gabrielle storms off she gets a smug look from Sister Mary and I finally realize where I’ve seen her before. Sister Mary is in fact 80’s rocker Lita Ford!
