Casa Post-Traumatic Stress. Lynette is giving Mrs. McC the babysitting rundown, telling her to "try and push apples" for snack, but in case of emergency, there's a "candy bar under the sink." Mrs. McC, cramming chocolate in her mouth: "Not anymore you don't." Big P asks Lynette where she's going, all worried, and when she tells him she's heading to the market, he dives for her legs, all freaked out that Lynette's going to get shot again. "Can't she go?" he says, pointing at Mrs. McC. The old lady grabs Lynette's shopping list and heads for the door, pausing to stoop down and say, "You don't give a hoot if I get shot, do ya, kid?"
Photo shoot. Gabby's hair is all swept up in curlers for her big re-grand opening. Sitting next to her is a young model who looks not at all unlike a young Bernadette Peters. For some creepy reason, Gabby starts regaling the girl with modeling tips (using that exact same loud "American in Paris" tone), telling the young thing not to be nervous, et cetera. The girl rolls her eyes and smugly says, "I've been modeling for two years. I've done six magazine covers, and I'm sleeping with Dirkin [the photographer]." A wardrobe troll-woman rolls up with a rack of clothing, and Gabby jumps on a pretty green dress. The troll grabs it out of her hands. "This is for Tanya [the young slip of a model]. The 'Mom Stuff' is at the end." Gabby gives the troll the big Spock eyebrow.
