When Susan rebuffs his advances, Monroe decides not to go through with the kidney donation. Lynette agrees to do a family photo with Frank and Stella, but Frank dies during the shoot; Stella convinces Lynette to delay reporting his death to keep his will intact. Bree gives Amber money for bills and gives a picture of Charlie to Keith, informing him that Charlie is his son. Gabrielle goes to therapy but struggles to talk about her childhood. When Carlos convinces her to open up, Gabrielle explains that her need to protect Grace stems from her stepfather molesting her as a child.
