Bree shows the second letter to Gabrielle and Lynette, who continue to shun her. To cheer Bree up, Renee takes her to a dive bar, where Bree flirts with a random man and ends up going skinny dipping in the pool of his opulent house, before the real owner, his boss, catches them. Gabrielle decides to attend an important business dinner in Carlos's place, asking Lynette for business tips, but they argue when Lynette remarks how Gabrielle has always coasted on her looks, while Gabrielle accuses Lynette of being a know-it-all. Gabrielle and Lynette eventually apologize to each other and bond over their lives without their husbands. Mike stops Ben from making a deal with a loan shark, Donny, and later reveals to Ben that Renee received a large divorce settlement. In Oklahoma City, Susan meets Alejandro's wife Claudia and 15-year-old stepdaughter Marisa, writing them a check to help their financial woes. After learning that Alejandro had been sexually abusing Marisa, Susan assures her that he is never coming back.
