Desperate Housewives Episode 6.16 The Chase

When Celia comes down with chicken pox, Carlos orders Gaby, who's never had it it, out of the house so she won't get it too. She ends up staying with Bob and Lee, where she quickly grows used to their sophisticated, child-free lifestyle. When Carlos calls to say that Celia is better, Gaby lies that she's got a stomach bug so she can keep on partying. Juanita calls to tell her mom about her first soccer game and while looking for a quiet place to talk, Gaby stumbles across Bob & Lee's nursery! Bob admits they've been trying to adopt. "You may envy our life, but it's nothing compared to how we envy yours." She decides it's time to go home, with a fresh appreciation for being a mom.

Danny left a note that said he was off "camping with Eddie," but Angie realizes that's a lie when she runs into Eddie at the store. She gets him to admit that Danny's actually in New York, looking for Ana. Angie worries that Danny might end up in the "old neighborhood," and that might include him running across Patrick Logan. She and Nick head off to New York to stop that from happening.

We really wonder about Bree's record for attracting stalkers when an overzealous fan named Sam shows up and announces he wants to work for her. He talks her into hiring him, and firing the inept Tad, who Andrew hired while Bree was busy with Orson. Sam is the one to figure out that Andrew only keeps Tad on because he's sleeping with him, causing Bree to question not only Tad's status, but Andrew's as well.

"I can fire whomever I want," she tells Andrew ominously. We are genuinely creeped out when Sam makes a point of drinking from Andrew's "Greatest Son Ever" mug.

We cringe when Lynette and Tom realize they've completely forgotten about Penny's birthday. Worse, when they get her a birthday cake, it reads, " Happy Birthday, Polly," the name Lynette's picked out for the new baby. Penny is fed up and runs away. Lynette tracks her to a hotel, where she tells her the pending baby is actually a good thing. "We are poised to take control," Lynette tells her, since the girls in the Scavo household will now outnumber the boys. To celebrate in style, she and Penny spend the night and have a girls' night with hot fudge sundaes.

Susan shames Roy into proposing to Karen, then is shocked when Roy claims he now feels trapped and inclined to cheat! He wants to kiss more women before he dies, so he grabs Susan for a smooch! Susan realizes she's overstepped her boundaries and tries to tell Karen not to worry about the wedding, but Karen has news: She might have cancer! We smile when Roy rallies to Karen's side and decides to go ahead with the wedding anyway.

Katherine is having steamy dreams about Robin, although she tries to get her therapist to confirm that they must be about something else, since she was never attracted to women before. Her therapist tells her she's "too fragile" for a relationship of any kind just now and that maybe it's best if Robin moves out.

Katherine is prepared to tell Robin that, when Robin announces she's landed a new job, and pops a bottle of champagne to celebrate. She gets it all over her blouse, which she starts to take off. Katherine blurts out, "You have to leave!" then admits that she's started to develop feelings for Robin. Robin says she feels the same and the two end up in bed together.
