Mike confronts Orson about having planted the bloody wrench that killed Monique on him, a smooth-talking mayoral candidate runs into Gabrielle, Tom decides to surprise Lynette with a night out for their nine-year anniversary, and Ian presents Susan with a diamond ring.
Lynette tries to change the uniforms at the pizzeria, Susan meets Ian's parents, Edie's romance is on the rocks, and Victor gives Gabrielle a dress as a gift.
Lynette faces new problems when Tom experiences back pain and she has to handle the pizzeria by herself. Elsewhere, Victor is in the running to become mayor and he is a favoured candidate, and the girls have a poker game but end up getting distracted by the hunky man who works around Gaby's house.
Mike comes to Susan and Ian's rescue, and after the Pizzeria is robbed, Tom makes a disturbing discovery.
Susan goes to the therapist and realises she must choose between Ian and Mike, and Travers is having a birthday party which only spells trouble for Mrs McCluskey.
