Lynette's car pulls onto Wisteria Lane. She's haranguing one of her poor children for forgetting something they needed for baseball practice. Lynette? Lynette? Listen to me: remember two weeks ago when you ordered a new nanny? Why don't you find out where that person is and track her down? Okay? Thanks. Anyway, she and Plexiglass come stomping into the living room....and find Ryan O'Neal making out with some lady who is not his wife. Scandale! Lynette awkwardly greets them, and Ryan O'Neal stammers that he thought they were at practice...and then Lynette trips over The Mistress's shoes...and then Plaster comes out with The Mistress's pantyhose...and that is why I never wear pantyhose. Lynette gives Ryan O'Neal a very disappointed look, and he looks appropriately chastened, but she acts as though everything is a-okay around little Polenta, whom she quickly hustles out the door.
Casa Divorce. KimberBree's evergreen-colored sweater is fantastic. She and Rex are bickering in the kitchen. "You only demanded the good china because you know I love it," she snaps. "You take the timeshare in Aspen and you claim I'M vindictive? Come on. You'll hardly ever use that," Rex retorts. KimberBree snaps that, actually, she will never use it. Rex tells her that he plans to use her good china for takeout. "Yeah. Pizza. Spare ribs," he taunts her. Man, I never really noticed it until now, but these two have fantastic chemistry. I seriously think they might start making out. KimberBree tells him that next time? She's asking for his golf clubs. And the two of them sort of take a moment and smile at each a little bit. "Isn't divorce fun?" Rex asks. KimberBree continues to look sort of amused and tells him it's time for his medicine. Rex says that he meant what he said: "I will fire my lawyer tomorrow. Just give me the word." KimberBree sighs that she doesn't know if she could ever get over his infidelity. "But if you could find a way to forgive me," he offers. "If we could find a way to be happy, wouldn't you want that?" KimberBree just looks at him. The problem, she says, is that she wants "revenge." If only there were some way they could level the playing field.... Rex chuckles. "So, what does that mean? You want to have an affair?" he asks, and she just shoots him a long look. Now Rex is getting a little antsy about this. "Okay," he says. "So who are we talking about here? Your dopey pharmacist?" KimberBree smiles. "Would that hurt you, Rex? If I slept with another man?" she sings. "It would devastate me," he tells her, quite seriously. They look at each other for a long, sort of weird, hot, moment. And then KimberBree hands him his pills. "Rex, time to take your medicine," she says. He downs the drugs looking strangely both confused and turned out. Great scene. The two of them are head and shoulders above the rest of the pairings on this show. If you told me, three months ago, that I would totally be rooting for Dr. Kimberly Shaw to get back together with the guy who cries when he ejaculates, I would have smacked you across the face with my driving gloves. And yet here we are.
