Plot

Lynette

Lynette is arrested.

The episode begins with Lynette making breakfast for her children. Child Protection Services appear at her house and tell her that a call has been made by Kayla to her therapist stating that Lynette has hit her several times. There is also a security video from the clothing store (in the episode Mother Said) that shows Lynette slapping a girl which is Kayla. Later on, Kayla burns herself with a curling iron and calls the police, saying that Lynette had burned her. Lynette is then put in jail for a couple of hours. Lynette told Tom to do something when Tom visits her. Back at home, Tom talks to Kayla about Lynette. Kayla admits that she lied about everything, but won't stop if Lynette comes back. It turns out that Tom left his cell phone on the desk, and Kayla's therapist heard everything. Later, Lynette's charges are dropped and Kayla is later sent off to live with her maternal grandparents.

Susan

Mike and Susan with their new born baby.

Susan and Mike cannot decide a name for their new baby boy, but they decided to name him Connor spontaneously. When Mike discovers his maternal grandfather died, he wants to name the boy after him. Susan is pleased until she finds out the name is Maynard. Gaby, Lynette, and Bree all tell Susan that the name is unfit, and that she should think about Maynard's future. Susan decides to change the name to Connor, and Mike finds out. After a talk about all the things that Grandfather Maynard had done, the couple settles on Maynard.

Bree

Bree and the Reverend hold hands.

Orson has been following Bree around, and she decides to make it clear to him that she doesn't want him around. She meets up with Reverend Green from church, and they have a nice chat at the Scavo's Pizzeria. Orson appears, and Bree asks the Reverend to hold her hand to make it seem like they were together. Orson sees this and leaves. Later, the Reverend drives Bree home, and declares his love for her. Bree is shocked and rejects his advances. At church, the Reverend decides to declare revenge and give a sermon on sexual promiscuity. Orson finds out and confronts the Reverend, and the entire church hears the argument, thanks to the Reverend's microphone. Orson tries to beat up the Reverend, but Bree walks in and sees that Reverend Green has knocked Orson unconscious. Orson is then taken off to the hospital, and Bree begins to have second thoughts about him.

Gabrielle

Gabby pretends to have an affair.

An undercover police officer (disguised as a handyman) comes into Gaby and Carlos' house to bug Ellie's room and the rest of the rooms in the house to find out who her supplier is. While in Ellie's room while she is out, Gaby and the handyman are almost caught when Ellie re-appears to retrieve her wallet. Gaby kisses the handyman and Ellie appears in the room. She is shocked, and Gaby says that she and the handyman are having an affair as a cover-up. Later, Ellie tells Carlos and Gaby feels betrayed. However, Gaby explains what happened to Carlos and he believes her. Gaby and Ellie then have a talk, and Ellie reveals that her father caught her mother having an affair and walked out on the family. Ellie's mom apparently went crazy, and Ellie ended up on the streets selling drugs to make money. Gaby automatically feels sympathy and feels guilty for turning Ellie in. Even worse, Ellie's supplier shows up at the house, and the police arrest him. Gaby, who feels connected with Ellie, helps her escape by telling her to go through the back door.

Katherine

Wayne threatens Katherine.

Wayne shows up at Katherine's house, demanding to know who Dylan is. He says that Dylan is not his daughter, so she must not be Katherine's either. He tries to pull a strand of hair from Katherine's head for DNA examination, but his actions were interrupted when Bob and Lee show up and need a caterer for their wedding ceremony. Katherine is delighted, and says that she and Bree will be ready for duty. Wayne leaves but promises to be back. Later, Katherine and Bree practice shooting guns at the shooting range. When Katherine comes home, Adam is there, and presses Katherine to reveal the truth to Dylan. Katherine shakes her head, and Adam suggests they move away. When Katherine again says no as Dylan insists to stay, Adam reveals that he wants to take Dylan to a vacation of anywhere she choses. Katherine replies, "Then we'd have to come back, and we'd be at square one again." Later, at Dylan's recital, Adam leaves to go to the parking lot during intermission. Wayne appears and asks Adam for help with his flat tire. Not knowing that he is Katherine's ex-husband, he agrees to help. Wayne later hits him with a four way wrench, leaving him unconscious as he was dragged off to Wayne's car. Wayne later wakes Adam up by throwing water in his face. Wayne tells him who he is and says that they are going to "have some fun".
