Something's Coming

Mrs. McCluskey and Ida are trying to play cards in Mrs. McC's basement when Ida hears a frightening noise and asks if it's the tornado. "Worse, it's the Scavos," says Mrs. McC, as the brood noisily floods in and Penny gets right to work banging on the water heater with a ladle. "Sorry, you kind of get used to it," Lynette apologizes as she belatedly scoops her little drummer girl up. Something is bugging Tom -- it's Ida's cat Toby, who's in a kennel, under a blanket, but still setting off Tom's asthma. Lynette asks Ida if the kitty can go upstairs, and gets kind of bitchy when both Ida and Mrs. McC. refuse. After all, as Mrs. McC says, she invited Ida there, but Lynette imposed her family on her. If she doesn't like it, they can go someplace else. Tom's willing to hang out in a far corner to keep the peace, but that's not good enough for Lynette, who hands Penny her ladle back.

Sitting on hard chairs at the hospital, Susan notices Mike's jimmy-leg and asks if he's okay. He says he's just stressed about the wait, but before Susan can get an answer out of him as to whether that's all, he gets up and starts yelling at a doctor over how long they're waiting. And then he starts beating up the doctor. Well, at least they're in a hospital.

After the commercial, Mike is handcuffed to a chair while he waits for Susan to get finished with her exam. She comes out and sits next to him, saying she and the baby are fine. Mike apologizes, and Susan says she talked to the doctor about rehab for Mike. Mike vows to kick the habit himself, saying he's done it before, but Susan isn't so sure. "I think I've hit bottom here," he says, and promises to fix it. A nurse stops by with a box of NARCOTIC PAINKILLERS for PREGNANT SUSAN's mildly sprained ankle. Susan's in the middle of tucking them in her purse when she's amazed to see the pleading look on Mike's face. "Kinda had a rough day here," he begs. "I've just got to get through this." Remember when Bree said that addicts are masters of deception? Clearly Mike is not an addict. Susan, bless her, not only says no, but tells Mike it's either rehab or she's leaving. Mike gives in.
