Juanita is unable to sleep after watching a horror film, and claims that a mysterious man has been lurking outside the house at night. To prove this is not true, Gabrielle and Juanita sleep outside in a tent. When a shadowy figure approaches the tent, Gabrielle assumes it is Lee, who earlier played a prank on them, and turns the stranger away. Bree goes on a date with Chuck, only to find that they both ran a background check on each other, though they both eventually apologize and agree to have a normal first date. Lynette and Tom clash over where to go on their family vacation. After a tearful Penny witnesses their heated argument, Lynette and Tom decide to take a weekend trip together to salvage their marriage. Paul suspects that Susan is poisoning his food and confronts her just after Susan had given cookies intended for Paul to the Oakridge parents' committee. Susan realizes that Felicia is poisoning the food and leaves to warn the committee about the poisoned cookies. Paul arrives at the function with police officers, who arrest Susan.
