One More Kiss
Updated 2006-01-13 16:00:00
Kissing, so much kissing this week! Bree (who maybably has a drinking problem now?) spots Andrew and Justin exchanging a goodnight buss out in front of the house. Scandalized, Bree tells Andrew he can't be gay under her roof, so he threatens to tell the police how Bree let George die. Bree consults lawyer Karl, who sits Andrew down and explains that letting someone die is not a crime, so Andrew threatens to spill the story to the neighbors. Karl sends Bree out of the room and then gets all up in Andrew's face, threatening to inflict some bodily injury if Andrew doesn't start treating his mother with "respect." Aw! Meanwhile Gabby frenches Mr. Mom Tom at a neighborhood party as a light-hearted demonstration of how cheerleaders (Gabby) really felt about band geeks (Tom) back in high school. An under-amused Lynette confronts Gabby, and petulance is exchanged. Later, Lynette gives Gabby a taste of her own French medicine by making out HARD with Carlos. Gabby is all "point taken," and the matter seems resolved, except that Carlos -- whom Gabby has unwisely instructed to go out and "even the score" (re: her cheating with Gardener John, remember that?) by scoring with another woman -- now thinks that maybe he and Lynette should sex it up. But Lynette's Charmin? Is Tom's and Tom's alone to squeeze. Meanwhile, PI Ironside breaks into the Applewrongs' house and tries to extract Caleb, but instead falls through one of the rotting stairs in the basement and dies. As Matthew and Betty debate what to do with the body, dead PI Ironside's cell phone rings, and caller ID reveals the call to be from "Foster." (As in Melanie Foster? Caleb's alleged victim?) Matthew and Betty decide to move dead PI Ironside into the trunk of dead PI Ironside's car but -- whoops! -- lock the keys inside with him. Zana apologizes to Julie and Susan for his past stalking/kidnapping ways, and they immediately forgive him. Suddenly Zana-sympathetic Julie and Susan hare-brain up a scheme to get Zana and Mike a-bonding by inviting them both to go bowling. And it totally works! Except that CreePaul is not amused, and he marches right over and sucker-punches Mike, who's innocently raking leaves out on his front lawn. Fisticuffs ensue, and Susan (who's driving by at that exact moment) gets so distracted by the man-battle that she runs her car into the back of dead PI Ironside's car. The trunk, of course, pops open, and the whole neighborhood gathers 'round to ogle the dead PI Ironside. The Ladies immediately all look at CreePaul, who shrugs, like "not it!" Later, Edie speculates that maybe the oh-so-suspicious Applewrong family is to blame for the body, and Betty and Matthew observe the gossiping with mounting worry. Also, Alberta kisses Mr. Whiskers, Bree kisses a photo of dead Rex, and Julie (uh oh) kisses Zana (but only on the cheek! as if that matters!).
