Desperate Housewives Episode 7.17 Everything's Different, Nothing's Changed

Susan gets a phone call. They have a kidney for her. Woo hoo! Paul gets a phone call. His wife is on life support. Boo hoo. Talk about mixed emotions!

Beth Young shot herself in head. Her last wish was to donate a kidney to her dear friend Susan Delfino. Okay, Beth and Susan weren't really friends. That's probably why a grieving Paul tells his former neighbor that there's no way she's going to strip his wife for spare parts. Mike wants to fight this thing. The law is on their side. But that doesn't matter to Susan. She barely acknowledged Beth in life, so why should she deserve anything from her in death?

Paul swings by the prison where Felicia tells him they need to stop hurling hatred at each other. She wants Beth taken off life support so she can rest. Later, Paul lets Susan know that he's alerted the transplant office to move forward with Beth's wishes. When he breaks down in tears, Susan gives him a hug. We suspect things will only get worse for Paul once he learns Felicia Tilman is being released from prison.

Renee and Gaby have been planning a big party. Everyone is invited, but no one feels like going because of the Beth Young situation. That's not going to stop Renee from pressing forward with her fabulous spring fling. She'll just order less shrimp.

The night of the big party arrives and Renee's place is packed with a bunch of strangers. Gaby realizes the reason Renee wouldn't cancel the party is because her mother also committed suicide. This party is her way of dealing with it. Remember how we said there were a bunch of strangers at the big bash? Well, that's no longer the case once Gaby adds her name to the guest list.

Bree is shocked when an inebriated Andrew passes out at Mrs. McCluskey's house. This isn't the first time he's gone on a bender. Andrew insists he doesn't have a problem, but his mom tricks him into attending an AA meeting. Andrew tells the folks that his name is Elvis. Though he doesn't address his drinking, he does speak of his meddling mother. Bree feels defeated when Andrew skips out during the serenity prayer. Yes, Elvis has left the building.

Andrew reiterates that he does not have a drinking problem. Bree has no choice but to believe him. Strike that. She doesn't believe him at all. She's also not about to walk away from someone who needs help, especially when it's her son. Andrew tells Bree that Alex left him. He still doesn't want to blab his problems to a bunch of strangers. That's fine. Bree says they can have a meeting right there, just the two of them. That'll work.

Tom gets a great new job offer, but declines the deal out of loyalty to Carlos. This has Lynette scheming for ways to get her hubby to reconsider. She performs a little bedroom seduction that's typically reserved for corporate hotshots. As sexy as this scene is, Tom won't be swayed. He will, however, ask Carlos to match the offer, which he doesn't. Time for Plan B!

Lynette swings by the local car dealership to borrow a $70,000 sports car. She parks that puppy in Carlos' driveway so that her hubby can see that his boss certainly can afford to pay him better. The plan works. Tom accepts the new job, but wants to renege once he learns what his wife did. A test drive in the sports car has Tom reconsidering his position. Think the new job comes with a parking space?
