Desperate Housewives Episode 7.19 The Lies Ill-Concealed

Meet the man of Susan's dreams: Paul Young. You heard us. One of our favorite housewives is having erotic fantasies about the man we all love to hate. What a nightmare! The sex dreams could be a result of the six weeks of post-transplant abstinence for Susan and Mike, which is thankfully coming to an end.

As for Paul, Mike wants his wife to steer clear of the guy. That'll be hard to do since Paul is now popping up in Susan's shower. Yes, it's another steamy dream. Susan wonders, "Is it common for patients to have sex dreams about the husbands of their dead donors?" Excellent question!

The doctor thinks the dreams are a result of Susan's desire to help a despondent Paul. So she stops over to share some soup with him. When Mike catches sight of them together, he's not a happy hubby. But that doesn't stop him from setting up a romantic dinner for the kind, compassionate woman he loves. Thankfully, those six weeks without sex are history as of tonight.

Tom and Lynette are invited to a prominent leadership conference. There are lots of high-profile people there. The best part of this little getaway trip is the fact there aren't any kids. Lynette is bummed to learn that she's barred from the seminars because she's only there as Tom's guest. She can still do all the less-intellectual activities with Lee, who is at the conference as Bob's "Plus-One." Think Lynette's going to go for that?

Lynette swipes the credentials of a condescending businesswoman to sneak into the keynote speech. Too bad the pass belongs to the woman who is introducing the main speaker. Imagine Tom's surprise to see his wife stumble through an impromptu speech before scurrying away in shame. This is why so many people fear public speaking. Later, Renee tries to tell Lynette that she needs to get used to the fact that in Tom's new world, she's viewed as nothing more than a wife. Harsh.

After discovering the identity of her new neighbor, Karen McCluskey recalls the night she saw Felicia Tilman frame Paul Young for murder. The two ladies catch up over coffee. Karen is shocked to learn Beth's true identity. Felicia seems to be gaining an ally for whatever plan she has in store for Paul.

Carlos forbids Gaby from seeing Bree. This is an extremely difficult situation, and not just because Bree has scones baking in the oven. Gaby loves those scones. These two gal pals miss each other so much that they've resorted to covert meetings for coffee. The element of danger that comes from sneaking around while downing pineapple upside-down cake is quite exciting.

The jig is up once Carlos catches sight of a leftover slice of the upside-down cake on his counter. Gaby claims she made the tasty dessert, so Carlos wants her to make another one while he watches. This leads to a Cyrano-like scene where Bree talks Gaby through the process via a cell phone earpiece. Gaby's cake is a flop, but Bree manages to secretly swap it out for one she made. Let them eat cake!

Gaby got away with the cake deception, but Carlos uncovers his wife's attempt to go on a secret spa trip with her forbidden friend. He wants Gaby to choose. It's either him or Bree. A short time later, Gaby appears on Bree's doorstep having made her choice. She asks Bree if she can stay with her for awhile. Of course, that means Juanita and Celia will be moving in, too. Looks like Bree's gonna need pineapple upside-down cake for four.
