Dinnertime at the Scavos. The kids (even Penny...or the back of her head, at least) all belly up to the dinner table. Lynette made Kayla's favorite: tacos! But I thought Tom was making chili tonight? Thought it turns out that Tom's not there: he's still working on getting his pizza place ready to open. While I appreciate the nod to continuity, it seems weird that he'd miss out on Kayla's first dinner home. Kayla takes her plate and heads over to the television. Lynette tries to stop her, based on the Scavo family rule of "no TV at dinner." "But my show is on," Kayla brats. Not The O.C., not Ugly Betty, but "my show." My 83 year old grandmother used to call Murder She Wrote her "show." Once again I ask, how old is this girl? One second she's being played six years too young, the next she's 66 years too old. Anyway, Lynette caves and lets bratty Kayla watch her television "just this once," which enrages the P boys. Lynette tries to make them stick to the rules, but they exchange a look and then stand as a group to go join their new sister, Lynette hisses and snaps and blusters until they sit back down. One of the Ps -- Parker? Posey? -- asks if Kayla's going to get dessert, too. Kayla, smugly, yells out, "Of course I do." Lynette sits there, looking unsettled.

Gabby and Billy Bob are home from the movies. He's all fired up about the documentary they just saw: "You know, I read that the director shot over 400 hours of film?" Gabby: "Really? I only counted half that." Billy Bob chortles over her boredom and nicely offers to let her pick the next movie. They kiss. Gabby notices a huge bouquet sitting on her porch. Gabby coos over how nice it was for Billy Bob to cowboy up with the romantic gesture, but he denies it. The card reads, "Loving you from afar..." Gabby apologizes over the awkwardness of the situation, but Billy Bob is very understanding. Too understanding: Gabby wistfully says something about how Carlos would have gone bananas if some guy had gone and sent her flowers. The "Wait a Minute!" fiddles swell, and Gabby gets a gleefully suspicious look in her eye. Speaking of Carlos...clearly that minx sent the flowers! Much to Billy B's chagrin, Gabby marches over to Mike and Carlos's bachelor pad, where Carlos is pumping free weights. She accuses him of sending her the flowers, he denies it, but Gabby totally doesn't believe him. She throws the flowers at him, huff! Carlos laughs a Jolly Green Giant laugh. Far more intriguing than the Case of the Anonymous Flowers is the magical mystery that is Gabby's gleaming silver leather space-suit jacket trench-thing with three-quarter-length sleeves. And I'm not talking about her silver leather space blazer. Or the silver leather space mini she wore back when she was pregnant. This is an entirely new item. Which means that Gabby owns three different insane silver leather items. Why? How?
