Some bakery. A large anvil...I'm sorry, "wedding cake" sits on top of the counter. Melanie brings a plate of pastries over to Lindsay, who mopes pathetically at their table. Mel got her a croissant. Lindsay doesn't want a croissant. But Lindsay loves croissants! Lindsay said she doesn't want one! Okay? So just drop it! So, Melanie picks the croissant up and drops it on the floor. Hee! Lindsay cracks a smile, then groans that she should never asked her parents for help. Yeah. Duh. Melanie tries to be practical: Lindsay asked them, they said no, so why don't they just go ahead and look at wedding cakes? Lindsay pouts that they can't afford one, but she's not upset about the money. Melanie understands that it's about the love: "You want them to show you the same amount of attention that they show Lynette." Mel shrugs that maybe she and St. L. should put out more of an effort themselves: "We've never really asked them over to see how we live. Meet our friends." Melanie suggests that they invite Ron and Nancy over for brunch with the gang. This has tsunami written all over it. Lindsay laughs that Melanie can't be serious. Oh, but she is, "If they could see that we're a real family, with a real life, just like your sister, then they might feel differently." Looks like another contrived plotline is about to rear its ugly head. Strap in.
