Ian asks Susan out, but she feels she might hurt Mike if she agrees to Ian's proposal. Bree becomes romantically involved with Orson and he later asks her to marry him. Lynette tries to stop Nora from forcing her way into the Scavo family while trying to keep Kayla, Tom's illegitimate daughter, close. Gabrielle threatens to send Xiao-Mei off to China to work as a slave. At Bree's engagement party, Carolyn Bigsby, Hodge's neighbor, accuses Orson of murdering his wife. A body is shown buried in clay in the new club house construction site.
