After coercing Gaby to join her at the hospital for chemo, Lynette is left sitting alone in her head scarf. Gaby finally comes back in after a half hour with some magazines to keep Lynette entertained including Us Weekly and Black Inches. Gaby continues to make excuses to leave the room until Awesome Lynette finally calls Gaby on her bullshit. Gaby confesses that when she was a little girl her father was diagnosed with bone cancer and died ten months later. Thanks for the pep talk, Gaby! Gaby's father would never let her cry as he lay in the hospital dying and thanks to his stern instructions; Gaby learned how to make a career out of smiling for the camera even when she didn't feel like it. Tears flow and the two bitches hug it out.
Nobody even cares about my sex tape!
Bree is still obsessing over Pie-gate '07 when she finally realizes that as the head of the neighborhood watch association, she has the keys to Katherine's house. When Katherine and her daughter drive off to run an errand, Bree breaks into Katherine's house looking like a cat burglar with a beer belly. Before she can cut the lock to the recipe box with bolt cutters she borrowed from Mike, Katherine, Dylan and Sam return from their errand and walk in the house with Dylan questioning her mother about the location of her alleged deadbeat dad and spouting off the information Miss McCluskey spilled.
Bree stands in the room with a lampshade on her head and listens in on the conversation as Dylan grows angry and screams at her mother. Katherine don't take no crap, so she hauls off and slaps her daughter across the face, causing Dylan to run to her room crying. Bree then overhears Sam and Katherine saying that they have to start coming up with better lies or they're going to get caught. Bree realizes that the pie recipe isn't nearly as important as potential blackmail so she returns home to tell Agent Cooper what she overheard.
Luckily she already looks like a mannequin so she just has to stand perfectly still.
As Mary Alice speaks to us from beyond the grave about the power of a smile, we see all the ladies, including Katherine, holding a chemo party with Lynette at the hospital. The room is decorated with balloons and streamers and the only thing lacking is a big "GO CHEMO" banner. Meanwhile Carlos is across the tracks at a seedy bar talking to a mysterious stranger. We overhear him saying that he has a real chance to get back together with his ex-wife but there's this dude-looks-like-a-lady standing in the way. Carlos slides an envelope of cash across the table and says that he needs her to go away. The man takes the cash and agrees to help Carlos get rid of his little problem.
"I've never done one of these speed dating things. What do you do? Oh, a hired killer. That sounds interesting. Tell me about that"
Will Edie be a victim of tranny-cide? Will Bree figure out this whole pie fiasco? What is the deal with Katherine? How can she find time to mastermind an intricate conspiracy against her daughter and the neighborhood AND create the perfect lemon meringue pie recipe? Hopefully all these questions will be answered soon, but until then let us know what you thought.

Thanks Clair!
Although rereading it I noticed a glaring error. Nathan Fillion's character's name is Adam, not Sam. I don't know where I got Sam from. I obviously have S&m on my mind again.

OMG!!!!!! Riotous, absolutely hysterical--I am so hated for the good time I'm having reading these in the presence of the uninitiated (though I try)
Can't wait for more . . .

Oh, my eyes! What in the heck is that picture on page 4 (Edie's dream wedding gown)?!? That thing will be featured in my nightmares tonight. The other parts of the recap, however, are gold. :-)

Fozziebare!!!Great recap! Can i just say regarding susan in her lingerie;
1)I can never unsee it, DAMN.
2)Gross, she looked like a mummy that had been unwrapped, all dried up and dessicated.
3)Her boobs? um if they had pushed those B cups up anymore they would have been over her ears.
So bored with the edie tranny blackmail story, WAKE UP carlos, just move your money to a different account and run while you can!

Enjoyed the recap.
Did any one else think it was odd that a pregnant Susan tasted what she presumed to be beer out of Julie's cup at the party? Even though it wound up being orange soda, she thought it was alcohol: a little irresponsible for a prego mama. Way to go, Susan!

Funny recap. Queenlala, you're right. It was irresponsible of pregnant Susan to try her daughter's red-cup-of-mysterious-liquid, especially at a "rowdy" party. Anything could've been in that cup. GHB is definitely no good for Susan, Jr. The other thing that struck me as strange about it is that drink turned out to be orange soda. Huh? I'm not really a drinker, but is there any alcoholic drink that could be confused with orange soda??? I mean, that doesn't have a straw and umbrella hanging off the rim of the cup...
I think Carlos is probably hiring that dude to date Eddie so she'll become unobsessed with him. Why the big bulk of cash then? Well, it costs a lot to get a hetero man to date a tranny, but every man has his price. :)
