Susan bitches at Mike for talking to doctors and assuming that "kidney specialists" know more about renal medicine than she does, and he runs away. The nurses ask her to stay in bed, but don't you know she's gotta walk MJ down to the cafeteria to get some ice cream, because that's the priority right now and by proving that she can go to get him ice cream she will stop him from being afraid of her impending death. Of course, about six yards down the hallway she collapses in a terrifying grand mal seizure, but luckily MJ doesn't really care, because he's busy telling her everything that ever happened in his entire life that involved ice cream. Like mother, like son.
(Where's Julie? If she's smart, she'll have put her own kidneys in witness protection, because you know Susan's first thought was that Julie probably has a spare. I miss the kid, she was the only non-Scavo child on this show I ever liked, besides Andrew, but you know what they say: The greatest trick Julie ever pulled was convincing Susan she didn't exist.)
Wisteria finally shows up at Susan's bedside to see what she looks like when she isn't healthy -- "God, you've lost so much weight! And some terrible things have happened to your once-beautiful face!" -- and of course she tries to bum them out as much as possible by saying all she cares about is making sure that MJ is taken care of when she's gone. As if MJ wouldn't be in better hands at Paul Young's house.
The ladies all tell her she's going to be fine -- clearly she's got luck on her side -- and Mike heads over to jail to talk to Felicia about how he wasn't the one that shot Paul. But then who was it? Nobody knows. Paul doesn't know -- but once the cops show up and drop the shoe on how Beth is Tillman's spawn, he thinks he does. Which is oh so sad, because now he's going to turn on his only ally, but hopefully it will be totally scary and suspenseful.
