Gabrielle finds out Carlos can gain back his sight thanks to the injuries he suffered in the stampede of the nightclub. Thinking that Carlos may not find her beautiful anymore, Gabrielle takes drastic measures to regain her figure. Susan decides to let go of Mike when she learns of Katherine and Mike's relationship. Bree asks Orson to undergo a surgery of his injured septum which causes him to snore loudly, but Orson decides to drug Bree with sleeping pills, which causes her to almost miss her cooking demonstration where she pulls off a dramatic scene. Lynette uses an emergency fund without telling Tom in order to bribe Anne into leaving town and never contact Porter again, leading her to discover that she faked the pregnancy. Dave starts feeling guilty about the seven deaths caused by the fire he started and decides to pin the blame on Porter, who was already under suspicion by the police because Porter had threatened to kill Warren at the nightclub. It is revealed that Andrew is in a live-in relationship with Orson's plastic surgeon, Alex.
