In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

Previously: Bree and Hot Handyman heated things up. Gaby bonded with her biological daughter. Lynette needed a nanny. Susan had to pay $9,000 to keep her online cleaning-porn job a secret, but a mystery man picked up her poster. Also, I recapped two seasons of this show and now I've decided to move on. I'll still be around, writing about Chuck and How I Met Your Mother and The Apprentice and various other shows, and maybe I'll come back here to visit from time to time. Thankfully, this episode was the best one in awhile.

Anyway, we pick up with Mary Alice Voiceovering to us about Emma Graham (played by singer Dana Glover, who should perhaps mean something to me but doesn't). Emma's a housewife and mother who wants to be so much more than that (don't they all?). So she puts together a cabaret show to show them all just how amazing she is. Her neighbors (our ladies of Wisteria) all show up at the Smokehouse Lounge to watch her. MAVO says they all learned Emma Graham wasn't so ordinary. As a sax player Kenny G.'s along with her, Emma sings breathily and plays piano. Tom, Lynette and Carlos all watch attentively from a table in the bar. And Mrs. McCluskey and Lee watch from another table. Emma's daughter and husband watch from another. Then Gaby and Renee break it all up by stumbling out of the kitchen in a fistfight. Lee tries to break it up and gets thrown easily aside, then Renee lands a punch to Gaby's nose, which ends up bleeding.

"One Week Earlier." MAVO tells us that "she" knew what she was doing was wrong, dangerous, and had risks. But Susan was determined to get back to Wisteria Lane, which is how her world began to fall apart. She opens up her camera and introduces herself as "Tanya" to some guy who's just obsessed with seeing her boobs. He calls them jugs, then tots, then moneymakers, but Susan won't show 'em, and instead slams the computer shut. Maxine pops up from nowhere and tells Susan she cost them a major client by pulling the plug mid-session. Maxine says she can't keep giving Susan chances. When another guy calls and asks for a private session with Tanya, Maxine tells him right in front of Susan that Tanya doesn't work for her anymore.
