The women of Wisteria Lane are shocked to learn that Felicia Tilman was Beth Young's mother. What's even more unsettling is the fact that Susan has made Paul her pet project. Felicia shows interest in this curious turn of events. She pops by Susan's place to add a little antifreeze to the chicken pot pie she's making for Paul, not mention all the other dishes she prepares for him.

Mike says that they finally have enough money to move back into their house, but Susan is reluctant to give Paul the boot until he's back on his feet. That's not happening anytime soon, as Paul is feeling the effects of Felicia's toxic additives. He's also feeling lousy emotionally when Susan says they can afford to move back home. Paul thinks all her goodwill was part of some calculated master plan. He tosses her out of the house. Moments later, Paul clutches his heart and collapses to the floor. Not good.

Tom offers to give Lynette and Renee a little boost in their interior design business by letting them makeover his office. Renee says, "For 20-grand we will decorate your office and whack an employee of your choosing." She's such a savvy businesswoman. Tom wants his office to mirror the one belonging to Donald Trump. Lynette has other ideas. After all, she knows what her hubby likes, right?

Lynette goes to town decorating the office the way she sees fit. She does all this behind Renee's back. Needless to say, her partner isn't all too pleased. But, hey, as long as the client's happy, right? And he is! Tom absolutely loves his new office. But that's only because Renee snuck in to redecorate it the way he'd asked it be done in the first place. This leads to a big blowup fight where Tom lets Lynette know that he doesn't believe she's truly happy that he's successful. Again, not good.

Bree is still adjusting to life with her three new roomies. And by that we mean she's longing for the day Gaby and the girls head back home to Carlos. While on her way to church to pray for patience, Bree meets Detective Chuck Vance of the Fairview P.D. He's checking up on Felicia, but gets treated to Bree's wrath when he blocks her driveway with his car. Welcome to Wisteria Lane, Detective.

To help his daughter understand their current situation, Carlos tells Juanita all about the time Bree killed grandma. Actually, it was Andrew who killed Mama Solis, but that's not how Juanita heard it. She and her sis now fear for their lives, so they do everything that's asked of them. The girls call 911 when they think Bree is trying to kill them. DING DONG! Detective Vance is at the door.

The detective asks Carlos if he told his daughter that Bree killed his mother. This is a chance to get justice, but Carlos doesn't take it. He claims it was all a misunderstanding. Bree walks Vance out to his car. She's curious as to why a detective would answer a 911 call. Could it be because he wanted to see Bree? As for Gaby, Bree thinks it's time she went home to her family. Of course, that means she can no longer see her friend. One more time. Not good.
