You'll Never Get Away From Me

Felicia is back (but only long enough to pack her bags for Utah), Phyllis is gone, and Gardener John has moved on to a woman over twice his age. Finally understanding that John is a teenager, meaning he falls in and out of love every three seconds, Gabby wakes up to the fact that she's been very, very stupid with her secret thoughts of a sex-packed life in a one-bedroom apartment with John. Gabby tearfully apologizes to Carlos for stepping out on him, Carlos is much relieved to hear a sincere "sorry" coming out of Gabby, and the two share a quiet and cute moment. One of the Ps is poised for his first day of kindergarten but pouts strenuously when he discovers that Lynette can't accompany him regarding her need to work. Lynette sets up an elaborate conference-cam system that allows her to see and communicate with P remotely. Unfortunately, her Scrooge-y , boob-y boss scuttles the plan by insisting that Lynette come to a meeting. When Lynette tries to use the "nature calls" excuse to return to her computer, Booby refuses to buy it, so Lynette tips a cup of scalding coffee in her lap. Meeting adjourned! Susan discovers that Edie and her magical guitar will be accompanying daughter Julie as she sings a song in a family church event. Center-of-the-universe Susan, convinced that Edie is only paying attention to Julie to irritate Susan, gets Betty to help her polish up her rusty piano skills. Susan "plays the mom card" and Julie reluctantly picks the accompaniment of her mom over Edie's guitar stylings. When the big night arrives, though, Susan has a fit of guilt over bumping Edie, and somehow Edie ends up trying to play the piano along with Julie. Unfortunately Edie can't really play piano, so Julie's number is effectively ruined, which sucks for Julie but makes Edie look bad, which makes Susan, who is horrible, very pleased. Betty's Basement Buddy (who appears to be a somewhat normal-looking man) breaks free for five seconds before he is pistol-whipped back into submission. Bree offers to take a polygraph to clear herself of all police suspicion about her involvement in Rex's death. While her "no" response to the "did you kill your husband?" question passes with aplomb, her "no" to the "do you love George?" doesn't do so well (i.e., Bree secretly loves George, gross). With some embarrassment, Bree tells George that, due to her surprise love for him, now the police suspect the two of them of being in cahoots. Bree asks George to take the lie-detector test, too, so they can both "move on," and he passes the test with flying colors and a cheerful smile (i.e., George is a psychopath, duh).
