After an 8-week leave of absence due to her gunshot wound, Lynette is finally returning to work. As she is ready to leave, Tom tells her that his manager, Ken, quit and he needs someone to accompany him to a street fair. Tom talks Lynette into helping him, and Lynette avoids work by putting her cast back on and pretending to be miserable when her boss, Ed, and his assistant, Jerry,arrive to pick her up. When Ed touches her in the shoulder, she screams in pretend pain, and lets her painkiller pills onto the ground. Ed and Jerry decide to leave her home for another week. Lynette goes with Tom to the street fair, where their pizza proves to be popular. All the kids are there except Kayla, who Mrs. McCluskey is babysitting. Ed returns to drop by a gift basket for Lynette. Mrs. McCluskey goes along with the lie and tells him she's at a doctor appointment, but Kayla, continuing to hate Lynette, tells him the truth. Ed goes to the street fair and fires Lynette, but Lynette begs and pleads and Ed decides to give her another chance. Lynette eventually changes her mind and quits her job to help Tom run the pizzeria.

Mike confronts Paul about paying his attacker. Paul tells him the truth about their history and that Zach is Mike's biological son. He asks Mike to convince Zach to visit him in prison. After Zach posts his bail, Mike comes home and finds him on his doorstep. He thanks Zach, and Zach tells him to let him know if he needs anything else. Zach visits Paul, and Paul says he never stopped loving him. Paul then asks him a favor; to give him money so he can hire someone to track down Felicia. Zach refuses and walks away, as he plans to marry Gabrielle and spend all his money on her.

Bree confronts Orson about the teeth she found in Alma's closet. Orson calls Gloria and tells her he knows about what she's planning with Alma, and wants her to stop. Gloria comes to Bree's house and tells her that she thinks Orson and Alma belong together, and she's standing in the way of them. Later Orson goes to Alma's house to confront her, and finds Alma lying in her bedroom, almost dead. Gloria is watching over Alma, who attempted suicide due to depression about Orson not loving her. Gloria offers Orson a drink, but the drink is full of sleeping pills and Viagra, which knocks him out. Alma reveals she faked her suicide attempt and pushes Orson onto her bed. Gloria leaves to give them some privacy. Alma tells Orson before he falls asleep that she has been injecting herself with hormones to help her get pregnant with his baby. She then rapes him. Bree comes home from her book club, and Andrew tells her that Orson is at Alma's house. Bree sees only a bedroom light on in Alma's house.
