I'll Swallow Poison on Sunday
The women of Wisteria Lane are shocked to learn that Felicia Tilman was Beth Young’s mother. What’s even more unsettling is the fact that Susan has made Paul her pet project. Felicia shows interest in this curious turn of events. She pops by Susan’s place to add a little antifreeze to the chicken pot pie she’s making for Paul, not to mention all the other dishes she prepares for him. Mike says that they finally have enough money to move back into their house, but Susan is reluctant to give Paul the boot until he’s back on his feet. Then Paul clutches his heart and collapses to the floor. Tom offers to give Lynette and Renee a little boost in their interior design business by letting them makeover his office. Tom wants his office to mirror the one belonging to Donald Trump. Lynette has other ideas and goes to town decorating the office the way she sees fit. She does all this behind Renee’s back. Tom absolutely loves his new office. But that’s only because Renee snuck in to redecorate it the way he’d asked it be done in the first place. This leads to a big fight! Bree's still adjusting to life with Gaby and her daughters, longing for the day Gaby and the girls head back home to Carlos. While on her way to church to pray for patience, Bree meets Detective Chuck Vance (Jonathan Cake) of the Fairview P.D. He’s checking up on Felicia, but gets treated to Bree’s wrath when he blocks her driveway with his car. There seems to be a spark, though. To help his daughter understand their current situation, Carlos tells Juanita all about the time Bree killed grandma. Actually, it was Andrew who killed Mama Solis, but that’s not how Juanita heard it. She and her sister now fear for their lives, so they do everything that’s asked of them while they're living with Bree. Then they call the police when they think Bree is trying to kill them. Detective Vance arrives at the door. The detective asks Carlos if he told his daughter that Bree killed his mother. This is a chance to get justice, but Carlos doesn’t take it. He claims it was all a misunderstanding. Bree walks Vance out to his car. She’s curious as to why a detective would answer a 911 call. Could it be because he wanted to see Bree? As for Gaby, Bree thinks it’s time she went home to her family. Of course, that means she can no longer see her friend...
