Susan is questioned about Paul's poisoning. Lee tells Bree that Chuck is gay and Lynette and Tom's reconciliation weekend ends in disaster, signifying the end of their marriage.
Mary Alice: (Brenda Strong) "Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher) had always played by the rules...obeyed every label...performed her civic duties. So when she was questioned about the poisoning of Paul Young (Mark Moses) Susan was more than a little upset." Susan is asked her age by the detective and she asks why he wants to know that. She lies by saying she's 38 and says Felicia (Harriet Sansom Harris) poisoned Paul. The detective still thinks Susan was Felicia's accomplice, as she was the one who delivered the food. She liked Paul's wife, she gave her a kidney. Which the detective adds was Paul's fault since he caused the riot in the lane and suspects Susan poisoned the school since she didn't get her job back. Mary Alice: "Yes, Susan Delfino had always played by the rules...she was about to find out, this wasn't a game."
Mary Alice: "Sometimes it's the little things that make us feel secure...an old friend at bedtime...small comforts are up against big challenges..." Lynette (Felicity Huffman) thinks they should have gone away ages ago. Chuck (Jonathan Cake) wants to wait to be with Bree (Marcia Cross) until after his divorce comes through. Bree kisses him. Bob (Tuc Watkins) tells Susan evidence was found at her house, but Susan insists she was framed. Mike (James Denton) admits Felicia called him from prison and offered him money to kill Paul. He considered it and there was a time when he would've killed Paul for free.
Juanita (Madison De La Garza) is eating again and Gaby (Eva Longoria) is being watched. Carlos (Richardo Antonio Chavira) is away on business and they both want him to bring them something back. Gaby asks Bree for a gun and states she lets Bree borrow things all the time. She'd like a small gun, the type Nancy Reagan would use. The detective calls Felicia in for questioning and she gets worried. Lynette suggests they should go candle-making. Tom (Doug Savant) would rather work things out and talk, that's what they're here for. They meet Lisa (Erin Hayes) and Andy (Jonathan Scarfe) who are here for the third time, agreeing to go candle-making with them.
Mike is adamant that of all the people who want Paul dead, Susan isn't one of them. Lee (Kevin Rahm) asks Bree about Chuck and wants all the gossip, he tells her Chuck is definitely gay. He saw "Detective Hottie at the gay bar." Lee has a 'homographic memory.' They haven't been together yet and thinks Chuck needs a girlfriend for show. Lee: "Time of gay: 11.21." Tom and Lynette avoid being alone and he accuses Lynette of always stealing his punchline. Lynette knows how to tell a story and he's always complaining about money, but she was the one who wanted him to take the job in the first place. (Makes you wonder if Tom doesn't think he'd have been better off with Renee (Vanessa Williams.) Just a thought.)
Chuck is free for dinner and introduces Bree to his work colleagues. She looks at photos of Chuck and Pete, they were partners for 9 years. Bree getting the wrong end of the stick with the word 'partners'. Pete transferred and she thinks Chuck was in love with him. Gaby attends gun classes and the instructor asks if she could fire a gun, shoot him and live with killing him. She leaves. Paul cleared Susan of the poisoning and he's leaving, he doesn't belong here and the past caught up with him. Susan believes he's a good person and he could start over.
Bree takes Chuck to a gay bar for a nightcap and Chuck attempts to explain he's not gay. He worked here undercover and he loved Pete like a brother, but Pete had an affair with his wife. She wants Chuck to mess up and he doesn't want to sleep with Bree until after the divorce. Lee was wrong so much for his gaydar. Gaby eats a snack and replaces the empty box back on the supermarket shelf. Yeah, the number of people who get away with doing that! A man follows her. She wants to look at the security footage claiming someone took her purse. It's her stepfather, Alejandro (Tony Plana) he's meant to be dead. Said that was him last episode. Gaby fires a gun in class.
Lisa and Andy are fed up of Tom and Lynette who just want to tag along with them, they want to be alone. Knew Felicia would go after Paul, this storyline wouldn't end that easily. Tom and Lynette resort to weather speak, just grasping at straws. Lynette recalls if they were in a room together twenty years ago, they wouldn't talk about the weather. She doesn't think Tom's trying and he gives her a ring, he changed the stone for a real diamond. He recalled he'd give "her a decent ring someday." But Lynette never being satisfied with anything, liked the old ring. She joked about the ring but still loved it. Tom is out of ideas on what to do. Lynette says they've survived so much, so why can't they get out of this bind. Tom doesn't like what's happening to them.
Felicia threatens Paul with a syringe through the heart, whilst she's slowly poisoning him on the drip. She speaks with Beth's ashes, who she claims was always here. Susan sees them. Felicia demands repentance from Paul for Martha, but she drove Mary Alice to suicide, Paul isn't sorry for her, Martha got what she deserved and Felicia records what he says as a confession. They'll find him dead and this video. Paul will always think she's crazy. Sirens are heard but it's just MJ's car. Anyway, Paul doesn't actually confess to killing Martha, since he only says she deserved what happened to her. Felicia attacks Susan and Paul strangles Felicia. Susan wants him to stop, letting her escape again in the process. But she can't be that lucky can she. Paul killed Martha, he wants to be that man again and gives the police a statement.
Mary Alice: "A sense of security is something we all search for; whether it's knowing we're desired...taking control of our fears or finding the strength to do the right thing - but the danger of a sense of security is that it may prove to be false." Felicia knocks over the urn with Beth's ashes in the car and drives into a truck. Will that be the end of her.
Coming to the end of the season, things were a little rushed to say the least. Bree finding someone else already, whereas she would've mourned and moped for a lot longer. Paul admitting he killed Martha, so what happened to him and is Felicia really dead. Also Susan conveniently getting back her house when Paul was so reluctant to leave. Finally Tom and Lynette just fed up with each other, when not that long ago she was seducing him into taking the new job and doing his office up for him. That was fast moving on their parts, especially after not wanting their children to be affected by their marriage failure.
