Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) talks of Paul (Mark Moses) realizing his wife was a liar, she "lied with every smile, with every caress and with every kiss...his entire marriage was a fraud. The only thing he didn't know, is how he would punish her." Beth (Emily Bergl) tells Paul how strange the street is and how the others tried to frame her. Paul is astounded that the gun just appeared out of nowhere. But he knows the truth. At least he thinks he does. Now that he suspects Beth, the truth won't be as clear cut as that, as she'll turn out to have been too obvious a suspect.
Mary Alice: "Paul had no choice but to punish his wife because some lies are unforgivable." Seems that's all Paul ever had on the brain, getting back at people. So he hasn't changed.
Mary Alice: "We are reminded every Spring with every rose that blooms...the world is a beautiful place...sadly it is filled with people who do ugly things constantly." Renee (Vanessa Williams) asks if Bob (Tuc Watkins) and Lee (Kevin Rahm) are friends with Barbara, the "inferior designer." Bob doesn't want to hire Renee as she's not maternal. Lee lets it be known they're decorating a room for Eliza. Carlos (Richardo Antonio Chavira) finds a credit card bill for $800 for Miss Charlotte's Doll place. Gaby (Eva Longoria) bought it as it made her feel happy. Somehow Carlos is not going to understand that!
Bree (Marcia Cross) meets Keith's (Brian Austin Green) ex girlfriend, Amber (Rochelle Aytes) when she comes to her house. How exactly did she get her address. Bree introduces herself as his girlfriend and not his landlady. Susan (Teri Hatcher) undergoes dialysis and meets Dick (Gregory Itzin) hey it's whatshisname from The Mentalist. He's a grump and refuses to speak with her, prompting her to comment, "people say she doesn't seem like a Susan - but him..."
Lynette's (Felicity Huffman) mother, Stella (Polly Bergen) pays her a visit, which she's dreading and drops a bombshell, she's getting married to Frank (Larry Hagman). Bree sits in bed with things on her mind, namely Amber and wakes Keith up by hitting him; then feigning he was dreaming and shouting, "Amber" in his sleep. He remembers a girlfriend from 7 years ago called Amber, surprised he recalls anything going back a few weeks, really! She left him. Frank just tells Lynette to call him "dad." Lynette's more interested in asking why he's marrying Stella. He loves her, which she finds hard to believe. Gaby asks Karen McClusky (Katherine Joosten) for the address for the Chinese restaurant and notices the doll inside her house. How many times has she been there and she conveniently just notices the doll now. Her doll's named Adelaide and she was her best friend growing up. Gaby shows her Princess Valerie and suggests they go to the tearoom, with their dolls.
Frank calls Lynette 'Lorraine' and she finds him obnoxious and borderline racist. Stella admits she's only marrying him for the money, since she married for love before and they all left her poor. Paul woes how he has hate for his neighbours and how they all betrayed him, his son disowned him and he hates whoever tried to kill him... he's tired of hating people but doesn't know how to stop. Beth suggests he should focus on the good in his life, like her. That's funny; she can't see that he's playing her. He thinks of her all the time, especially since he found out who her mother is and thinks they should go away together to a cabin in the woods, where no one can find them. See the first sign of trouble and he's got murder on his mind again, which was how all his troubles began.
Karen lets Carlos know about Gaby. He realizes the doll was hers and not a gift. The doll makes her happy. It's about Grace and she lets rip that it was his rule they shouldn't mention Grace's name. Susan brings Scrabble to her next dialysis session, but Dick prefers to play the game on his phone. She likens him to a mean cheerleader. Last time Renee likened the women to mean girls at lunch and now Susan comes up with the cheerleader analogy. Dick tells her they won't be friends when the beeper goes off since it means someone has died and a kidney is available. Susan was trying to comfort herself and not him, but he couldn't see that, bitter as he was.
Bree confronts Amber, Charlie (Sayeed Shahidi) is 6 and she never told Keith she was pregnant. Bree offers to tell him about Charlie for her and she believes her. I didn't. Though Bree doesn't like to admit it, she has changed. Last time she told Orson (Kyle MacLachlan) that she had changed because of Keith and this week we see her true colours. the change in her wasn't for the better. She refuses to tell Keith since she's afraid of losing him. Bob and Lee love the room: it's exactly what Lee wanted when he was growing up. Renee was thinking of that room for 20 years, for her own daughter. Which she regrets and they pick up on this, it's not too late for her to adopt.
Tom (Doug Savant) insists Lynette go through with the wedding and wheel Stella down the aisle. To think when she dies one day, they'll have money. She must support her mother on her wedding day. Lynette wheels her away from the altar and threatens not to come and visit her more if she marries him. Frank needs her and she found it easier to say it was about money than the truth. No one needs Stella and she's lonely. Bob and Lee introduce Renee to Eliza and Lee asks her a favour, when they need help with girl issues, if they can bring her here.
Paul takes the note Beth leaves for the gardener. The detectives tell him about the gun and Bree saying it was planted. Paul recognizes the gun and lies about not having seen it before; it's not Beth's gun. In which case, why did Susan recognize it as the one Beth threatened her with on Hallowe'en. Paul cancels the trip, Beth "dodged a bullet there." Keith's fine with not having a child and Bree wonders if he had the chance to be a father, would he take it. What sort of a question was that, of course he would and she's had two of her own, so she should know better. Bree lies to Amber saying Keith is too different after all these years. She gives her a cheque and attempts to buy her off. Rather she was buying Amber's silence in the hopes she would just leave!
Carlos is shocked at seeing the doll in the car seat and Gaby needs to see a therapist. Getting lost in a deserted part of town since Carlos refused to use the satnav (GPS), it was clear they would be carjacked and Gaby refuses to leave without the doll. Carlos tries to shake her round by saying it's not Grace.
Mary Alice: "The world is full of people who do ugly things...why do they act this way - some lie to keep from losing what they love...put up walls because they have regrets. Everyone has a reason for the ugly things we do and once we find out why, we can try to stop them."
An episode all about children mostly this week and the regrets everyone has about them, or about not having any. Clearly Renee wanted them but didn't have any, presumably not meeting the right man. Gaby has lost Grace and Bree keeps Keith from his like a scared woman scorned, forgetting truth will out eventually on Wisteria Lane.
