The Re-Marrying Man
In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

Previously: Five seasons happened, the last one ending on a faux cliffhanger, as Mike got married to someone, but it could have been Katherine or Susan. Also, Carlos's bratty niece moved in with Gaby and Carlos, and Gaby put her foot down. Lynette found out she's pregnant with twins. And Bree is using Karl as her divorce lawyer, and also making out with him.

Now it's wedding day, as Mary Alice tells us about all of the bride's fineries: veil, garter, shoes, because the bride wanted only the best for her wedding day since she was about to marry the best man in the world. We see Susan's face as Mary Alice says, "For the second time." Julie's there, and she asks Susan how she feels. Her response: "Like the worst person in the world," because of Katherine. Julie tells her not to worry about it, but I think if you feel that bad about it, maybe you shouldn't be going through with it. Mike and Susan are pronounced man and wife and Katherine greets them in the aisle, all sexy in a red dress as she snorts, "Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything?" I think I love angry Katherine much more than the whiner from last season. Opening title cards.

Eight weeks before the wedding. Mary Alice says it's easy to find sin in the suburbs if you look behind closed doors. You'll find your neighbors cheating on their taxes (Lee), drinking too much vodka (Orson), and stealing their father's magazines (Parker, looking at a nudie mag called "Bare Cheeks"). Mary Alice says some sinners occasionally repent as we zoom in on Karl and Bree kissing in his office. She says they can't go through with this, but he thinks that making love with her divorce lawyer would be a great way to get back at her husband for blackmailing her. He throws her down on the couch, but she says she'd rather not break a commandment on his couch, but somewhere where she can feel special. He concedes she's not the only person he's had sex with there, but she's the only special one. That's not enough for Bree. So Karl says he'll find them a hotel. Bree leaves, but not without making it clear to Karl that this visit isn't billable.

Ana tries to rush out of the house to school without eating, but Gaby stops her, and plays fashion police. She knows no girl who spends as much time on her hair and makeup as Ana would leave the house in the frumpy gray sweatshirt she's wearing, so she makes her lift it. Sure enough, she has on a skimpy half tank underneath. Gaby makes her go change, and while she's gone, Gaby and Carlos bicker about Ana. It's basically the same thing as last season -- Carlos thinking nothing Ana does is a big deal because she's had a sad life and Gaby thinking everything she does is bad -- except now Carlos is trying to get Gaby to sign papers saying they will adopt Ana, or at least be her legal guardians. The best moment of the scene is when Ana leaves the room, she tells Gaby maybe she'll wear one of her shirts, so it will get to go somewhere other than the supermarket. Juanita cutely says, "Oh, snap," and Gaby's like, "Hey! You, I can hit." Ana comes back out in a cute T-shirt and asks if that's better. Carlos is all, "Yes. Thank you," but Gaby's too smart for Ana's trickery and pulls the skimpy shirt out of Ana's back, holding up for Carlos, all, "See?!"
