Andre selects Susan as his intern, which involves looking after his estranged son Jasper, while Susan pushes Andre to become more involved in his son's life. When Jane offers to make an elaborate Halloween costume for Penny, Lynette orders a professional costume, which turns out to be a sexualized cat costume. As Jane helps make the costume more appropriate, Lynette privately asks her to back off from Tom, which Jane refuses. Renee takes a Chinese "love fluid" as she prepares to have sex with Ben for the first time, but ends up hospitalized with a rash. Renee tells Ben that she wanted their first night together to be special, and they confess their feelings for each other. Gabrielle convinces Carlos to attend an AA meeting, but he denies he is an alcoholic. Carlos is horrified by a hallucination of Alejandro when a trick-or-treater shows up at his house, driving him to drink. After Bree fails to stop Ben's real estate development, she, Gabrielle, and Lynette travel to Chapman Woods at night to dig up Alejandro's corpse, only to find it gone.
