Edie is in heat re: not having sex in three whole weeks, and she decides to present her enflamed parts in Carlos's direction. Carlos tries to escape her vaginal tractor beam by claiming that he's looking for a nice lady to settle down with, not some flighty party girl like Edie. Edie convinces him that she's all woman by showing him her C-section scar and her sagging fortysomething breasts, and Carlos seems to like what he sees. (Yes, they totally do it.) Somewhere between setting her future mother-in-law on fire and dousing her in red wine, triple klutz Susan manages to let slip a joke about how she grabbed all of Karl's "assets" in their divorce. Singed and stained Mamma Hainsworth pushes Ian to protect himself from Karl's fate with a pre-nup, but Susan blackmails Father Hainsworth, whom she busts trying on her underwear, into tearing up said pre-nup. Lynette manufactures some fantastically lame battle with Tom over the slightly unattractive hue of the new Scavoria uniforms (huh?) and walks off the job, only to return later that night to discover Tom collapsed behind the bar. Lynette, sure Tom is dying, pulls one of her vein-swelling freakouts, but it turns out he's only ruptured a disc, an injury that's supposedly going to keep Tom out of the pizza business for the next five months. Lynette, that plucky martyr, dons her orange Scavoria tee â the (pizza) dough must go on! Mike is plagued with melancholy flashbacks of a movie he once saw, and his memory therapist advises him to ask Susan to help him identify the film. Susan sadly informs him that his mental romcom starred none other than Susan and Mike, specifically the "morning after the first time together pancake scene" that they shared together back in happier, Season 1 days. This breakthrough leaves Mike feeling so forlorn that he quits therapy, determined not to let any more unrequite-able Susan memories surface. Gabby's water heater explodes, somehow ruining all her clothes, so she steals a fancy dress from the closet of the ex-wife of her new male interest (the salt-and-pepper politico from Sex And The City). Of course, S&P's ex shows up at the same event as Gabby and the dress. The fur flies and â surprise! â Gabby ends up stripped down to her bra and underwear. Later, S&P confesses that his wife got all those nice dresses in exchange for him treating her like a mistress and never being there for her or something. Gabby is so impressed with his honesty and incredible real-ness that she agrees to go out with him again, and he celebrates by buying her a new dress. Gold-digger Gabby is thrilled, even though he just got done telling her how expensive dresses are what he gives in lieu of actual love, yay?
