Desperate Housewives - 'You Gotta Get a Gimmick'



Susan turns up the heat for Mike while Bree learns that it won't be easy to take back the hurt she's caused Orson. Meanwhile, Lynette uncovers the true intentions Tom has, while Gaby is forced to examine the feelings she's suppressed about her heritage.

Following last week's death of her ex-husband Karl, Susan attends the reading of his will and ends up with his secret business — a strip joint named Double D. She investigates it, and upon talking to a dancer named Destiny, Susan discovers that Mike utilizes the place (to do their plumbing, he says). She gets on Mike's case, and he lashes back, telling her she can't tell him what to do. To prove a point, Susan gets on the pole herself and strips - Mike promises to never go back.

Gaby and Carlos are trying to get Juanita into an elite private school, but the head of the program only seems to be interested in their daughter for her Mexican heritage. However, Juanita doesn't even realise that she is Mexican. Gaby and Carlos begin to question whether they've disadvantaged their daughter of their cultural background, so when she gets in, Carlos wants her to attend a school in a more Hispanic area instead. Gaby raises a fuss because she's embarrassed of her past growing up Mexican and poor, but eventually they decide to tell Juanita about their history.

Lynette doesn't want to allow herself any time to grieve after the death of one of her twins. When Tom offers to step in for her at work until she recovers, she instantly feels threatened of being replaced at her job. Carlos tells her that Tom recommended that she might want to stay at home with the new baby. Lynette faces Tom, and he tells her that he thought she'd want to spend time with this new child given all that she's gone through. Lynette is falling apart, but it's clear that Tom is also having a hard time.

Bree admits to her church minister that she had an affair with Karl, and he suggests that she try reparation of sorts by caring for a now handicapped Orson. Just one thing: Orson doesn't want her back anymore. Bree tries to plea to him, but when he won't listen, she takes him back by force — right out of the McCluskeys' home, where he was planning on staying. Orson finally agrees to stick with Bree, but he asks her to wait on him hand and foot.

Ana confesses to Julie that she has the hots for Danny, so Julie suggests that they all go to a comic open mic night for Eddie. Ana seizes the chance to come on to Danny; he responds by saying she's too conceited, and she bites back by bringing up his suicide attempt.
