Making Threats

Scavo home. The detectives show up and ask Lynette if she knows Irina. As she starts to go on about what a terrible little wench she is, the detectives interrupt to tell her they found her body, and she was murdered. Tom comes in and the whole comedy of errors repeats itself, but this time Lynette stops him as he's speaking ill of the dead. Basically, they're here to question Preston -- who's camping with Porter -- since they found a letter Irina had written him. Lynette starts to ramble about how he wouldn't have broken up with her and then killed her; "why wouldn't you just skip the breakup and go straight to the killing?" Tom asks why she won't stop talking, and she says she's trying. The detectives ask Tom to let Preston know, and get him back here for questioning. As they leave, Lynette calls to them to forget about Preston and focus on finding the real killer. They say they will. The camera pans upstairs, where Eddie's listening to the whole thing with concern. It's so weird that, even though he's a known killer, I still don't see him as evil or shady so much as sad and sympathetic. I think it's a credit to the actor.

At Angie's, Patrick has a whole briefcase of bomb building laid out on the table. She says she's not going to, and he says not yet; he's waiting on one missing piece. She says she still won't, but he tells her there's a development in Oregon trying to clear-cut 4,000 acres of old-growth. Right. That's why he wants the bomb on this show? To come to Oregon and blow up a logging site. He says she used to be able to see that saving the world's messy, and she says now she sees he's a fake and has only ever believed in himself, not his cause. She says that Nick's twice the man he is as he grabs her, clearly jealous. Then Gaby interrupts by knocking on the door and saying she won't go, since she can see Angie's car. Patrick tells Angie to get rid of her quickly, so Angie calls her in. Gaby says hi and Angie pretends Patrick's her brother. Luckily, Gaby doesn't care much about anyone but herself, so they don't dwell. She just wants a lasagna recipe for Carlos's birthday, so Angie goes to the kitchen to get it. While she's there, Gaby asks Patrick what the bomb-building kit is, and he pretends Angie's fixing a remote control. He says she's good at that stuff, since she studied engineering in college. Angie gets irked at Gaby for wanting to use sauce from a jar instead of fresh tomatoes, but Patrick flashes his gun and Angie lets her ruin the lasagna. On her way out, Gaby babbles about not comparing your wife to your dead mother if you want to get laid on your birthday. When she's gone, Patrick wonders how someone who knows how to make a bomb hasn't used one on Gaby yet. He admires her restraint. Oh, Patrick, there are much worse people on this lane.
