Mary Alice points out a sign on the bulletin board at Mike's rehab center: "A man is only as sick as his secrets." Orson walks by it, not noticing, because he's too preoccupied by flashbacks: the first night he met Mike, with his dead (murdered by Mama Hodge) mistress out of sight behind the center island. And then the time Mike seemed to recognize Orson while in Orson's dentist's chair. And then Orson's mom insisting that Orson remedy the situation. And finally, the flashback of Orson plowing over Mike in his car. That was a pretty decent stunt right there -- can't blame them for reusing it. Mary Alice tells us that Orson is worried about Mike's reasons for asking Orson to visit him in rehab. When Orson gets to Mike's room, Mike is all grim and ambiguously threatening, making Orson more and more nervous until he, quite unsurprisingly, asks Orson to forgive him. For writing that pill prescription, that is. Orson tells Mike not to apologize, and Mike is visibly relieved as he says, "If you don't get this stuff off your chest, it'll eat you alive." As Orson leaves, his on relief overriding his guilt and shame, Mary Alice makes with the judgy-judgy some more.

Gabby is getting a little tired of taking care of Carlos all the time -- stuff like fishing the carrots out of his soup, reading the paper to him, and generally treating him like a human being. Admittedly, he is being kind of a whiny bitch about the carrots, but she's unnecessarily mean when she refuses to let him tag along shopping. And when he finds another carrot, she says, "Just eat them! They're good for you're -- Just eat them!" That was unusually sensitive of her.

Gabby arrives for lunch with Bree, Susan, Katherine, and Edie at Scavo's Pizzeria. Where's Lynette? Waiting their table, of course. Bree gives some excited exposition about the upcoming Founder's Ball, which apparently didn't happen back when Katherine lived here the first time. Katherine offers to help Bree with the planning, and Bree accepts, much to everyone's surprise. They figure Katherine and Bree are going to be at each other's throats over the project. "I've faced cancer and a tornado," says Lynette, "But I'm runnin' from this."

As Lynette goes over to the counter, who should walk in but Rick. Lynette's kind of flustered to see him. Tom, who comes jealous-husbanding right over, isn't, so much. Anyway, Rick has stopped by to let them know that he's opening up a new place of his own on the nearby corner. He even poaches a customer right in front of them before sauntering out. Tom looks like he's auditioning for a new gig as a wooden Indian.
