The Lecherous Lawyer Bradley stops by the Solis house unannounced. Gabby apologizes for his catching her all "disgusting and sweaty" with her yoga-ing. The LLB: "I'm a criminal lawyer, I've seen worse." The LLB asks Gabby if they've found a new lawyer for "Mr. Charming." Gabby tells him that she doesn't want a different lawyer, she wants the LLB: "And so does Carlos, he just doesn't realize it yet." As they talk, the LLB rummages through Carlos's wine larder in the kitchen, making complimentary comments about Carlos's impressive taste in wine. He holds out a bottle of wine and asks Gabby for a corkscrew. Gabby puts the wine away, saying that this is a time not for wine, but for business. She wants him to convince Carlos that he needs the LLB. She suggests that the LLB tell Carlos that he's happily married or gay. LLB scoffs at both suggestions with a "yeah, right." Gabby: "You're a lawyer. You lie to juries all the time. Can't you just make something up?" The LLB informs her that he's past the point in his career where he has to beg for work. Gabby, grabbing the LLB by the shoulders: "Okay, [LLB]? I'm holding my marriage together by my fingernails. If Carlos serves his full sentence, I don't think we're going to make it. So please, I need you!" The LLB: "I'll say this much for Carlos: he's got excellent taste." Gabby pulls away. "In wine," LLB clarifies. The LLB agrees to come see Carlos with Gabby tomorrow, and he leaves, taking a bottle of Carlos's wine with him, and saucily telling Gabby to deduct it from his bill.
Susan and Wally are sitting on his floor. Wally tells her that it all started with "bad real estate investments." Hypocrite Susan tells him that "he should have just come clean." Wally: "Yeah, well. You tell one lie, the second one comes easy. Then you're making up new lies to cover up the old ones. Pretty soon you can't turn back, you know?" Susan, in fact, does know. She looks very forlorn. Wally: "When Jeannie finally caught on, she took the kids, she took the furniture. The bank locked me out of my own house. That's why I can't lose you as a client." Susan puts a comforting hand on his knee and tells him, "I'm sorry, but you have." Wally tells her he doesn't blame her, and he edges his pinky over so it's touching Susan's hand. The Desperate Housewives "inappropriate feelings" music starts to thrum. Susan tells Wally that she'll always be his friend, and she rubs his knee. He asks her if she really means it, and she cups his cheek in her hand and tells him that of course she means it. Their faces are very, very close right now, and Susan's radar should be on full red alert right now, though clearly she's totally oblivious to the kissing danger she's in. Wally says, "You're my Susie," and then he says it again, and then he leans in. Susan flutters and skitters, and yells, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Wally explains that there's always been "this magnetism," which Susan denies with a guttural "Nooo." Susan runs out of the house, and Wally yells after her that he was "just coming clean!" Oh, Susan.
