Stripped Down

Susan's sitting on the couch when Mike comes home and apologizes for being late; he was working on Orson's ramp. Susan asks if he has cash so she can pay the paper boy. He gives her a $20, but she stands up and we see she's just in underwear and a T-shirt. She asks if he wants to stick it in her underwear, but he'd rather put in the mailbox like usual. She says that's probably how he's used to it at Double D's, which Karl left her part ownership of. "Oh, and by the way, Destiny says hello." Mike says he can see where she's going with this, and that he's the plumber there, but sometimes he has a beer when he finishes the job. Susan asks if he looks at the girls, and he says it's completely innocent. So, he's been to a strip club; will they laugh about it or make it a thing? She's leaning toward "thing," so he says he'll come straight home next time he has a job there. Susan says he won't work there anymore, since she forbids it. He wonders what kind of marriage this is, and she says, "The kind where the husband wants to look at strippers and the wife forbids it." Mike tells her he loves her and never has or will cheat, but she's not going to tell him what he can or can't do. He leaves.

The next day, Susan, Lee, Mrs. McCluskey and Gaby are assembled on Gaby's porch. Susan's telling them that she forbade Mike from going to a strip club because she can't stand those places. Gaby thinks it's no big deal, since Carlos takes clients there all the time. Lee went to one for his brother's bachelor party, and got a lap dance from someone called "Cinnamon." He says if he squinted just enough, she looked like a young Ricky Schroeder. Gaby says men go there to fantasize, and we all do it. Susan asks if Gaby does, and she says she fantasizes so much she's surprised when she opens her eyes and it's Carlos. Mrs. McC asks if they want to know who she fantasizes about, and Gaby's like, "No." But Mrs. McC finishes, "Tom Scavo," and Lee chimes in. They apparently both loved Tom in his tan shorts. Gaby says the bottom line is women can't understand strip clubs, and men can't understand why they don't want them to go, and that's just how it is. "Right?" Lee looks at her blankly, then apologizes: He was just imagining Ricky Schroeder in Tom's shorts.

Ana (hey! Where's she been?) is helping Julie pack. And by helping, I mean that she's taking Julie's CDs. She'd also like Danny Bolen, since he's totally into Julie, which is a mystery to Ana since Julie seems uninterested and Ana's sent him all sorts of signals. Julie says Danny's in a fragile place right now and can't get his heart broken. Ana says she wouldn't do that to him, since she likes him. She doesn't want to use him; she just thinks they have a lot in common and wants him to realize that. Julie invites her to the "comedy."
