Bree discovers that Mike may be addicted to painkillers and tells Susan about it, who finds a large bag of pills hidden in his flashlight.

Mike flushes the pills down the drain, but secretly retrieves them while Susan is asleep. Katherine tries to keep Dylan from the truth about her father by revealing that he was physically abusive. Stella leaves after learning none of her daughters want her to live with them. Bree gets her grandson, Benjamin, circumcised despite Orson's objections, since Benjamin is not related to Orson by blood. During a boat trip, Gabrielle knocks Victor overboard after mistakenly assuming he was going to kill her for her affair with Carlos. After Gabrielle and Carlos bring Victor back on board, Victor threatens Carlos with a knife; Gabrielle knocks Victor overboard again, but they are unable to find him.
