A break-in on Wisteria Lane leaves the neighbors feeling vulnerable, especially Susan – who reluctantly accepts a date with a persistent policeman (guest star Steven Eckholdt) after Mike Delfino appears indifferent to her – and a lonely Bree, who finds herself bonding with Mary Alice's troubled son, Zach. Meanwhile, Lynette and Tom pull out all the stops to get their uncontrollable twins accepted at a prestigious private school, and the unexpected arrival of Carlos' mother (guest star Lupe Ontiveros) puts a crimp in Gabrielle's covert love life.

Maisy Gibbons' (guest star Sharon Lawrence) series of unfortunate events shock the residents of Wisteria Lane, and have unexpected consequences for Bree. Gabrielle faces a crisis of her own when her sewer system goes out and she doesn't have the money to fix it and Lynette braves a scandal herself when it's rumored that the twins started the school's head lice epidemic. Meanwhile, as Susan sinks into depression over her breakup with Mike, she finds a surprising ally.

Gabrielle causes a prison riot while visiting Carlos, Lynette learns that Parker has an imaginary friend, and Susan helps Mike search for Zach.

Bree's mother-in-law, Phyllis (guest star Shirley Knight), gets her in trouble with the law, Susan tries bravely to accept Edie's new role in Julie's life, Lynette's demanding boss (guest star Joely Fisher) makes her miss Parker's first day of kindergarten, and Gabrielle and John meet again.

And Monica can't wait to open her tantalizing wedding gifts.
