Desperate Housewives Episode 4.03 The Game

Bree, Lynette and Gabrielle all make excuses to avoid Susan's game night. But when Bree tells Lynette and Gaby about Katherine's dirty little secret, they call Susan back and RSVP, and they all insist that she also invite Katherine since they're hoping to get her tipsy and loosen her tongue.

Susan is uncomfortable going to see Dr. Mayfair, so she asks Bree for the name of her obstetrician. Bree tries to put her off but finally just picks a name out of the phone book. Susan is surprised when the place is crawling with junkies and lowlifes.

Gaby is getting tired of having to sneak around to meet Carlos, but he assures her that Edie will only be a problem for two more weeks. Meanwhile, Victor is gleeful when a political rival's wife is caught shoplifting. He tells Edie he's relieved he won't ever have to worry about her causing a scandal.

When Adam and Katherine go over to Susan's for charades, Julie encourages her to do some snooping. Julie picks the lock on the forbidden room and starts trying to prompt Dylan's memory with her old stuffed toys.

Edie plans to announce her engagement at the party, but Carlos orders her not to. Undeterred, she flashes the engagement ring she bought herself without Carlos's knowledge. Angry over news of the engagement, Gaby tells Carlos she's fed up with waiting for him. In fact, she can get anyone she wants. She immediately starts flirting with Adam. Carlos calls the hit man and tells him he needs to step up the plans for Edie. Edie overhears Katherine jealously chewing out Adam and tells her not to worry, since Gabrielle has a reputation.

Susan shows up late to her own party. She had her tires slashed and her cell phone stolen while in the crime-ridden neighborhood that Bree sent to her. She's furious with Bree for sending her to someone who was obviously not her doctor and Bree says she's sorry, but she can't explain.

Lynette is too nauseous to keep any food down so her mother, Stella, offers to score her some marijuana but Lynette won't hear of it. Lynette decides to skip the party but finds the strength -- and her party spirit -- when Stella feeds her brownies laced with pot. She stuns everyone when she points to Edie and then mimes being hung. The clue is the movie "Hang 'Em High." The jig with the brownies is up when Stella realizes that they got brought to the party and she gets Tom to retrieve them from before anyone else eats one. Lynette is furious Stella for drugging her without her permission, since she vowed to never be stoned around her kids the way she was when Lynette was a girl. Stella is undeterred, saying that seeing Lynette happy and laughing -- and eating -- was worth it.

Gaby spills her drink on Adam and tries to wipe it off. Katherine warns her to leave her husband alone, saying she knows all about Gaby's "reputation." When Gaby says she has no idea what she's talking about Katherine explains how she treats men as playthings, including her teenage gardener, to the shock of everyone in the room, including Victor. In retaliation, Gaby blurts out that Bree saw Katherine slap her daughter. Katherine admits that, yes, she lost her temper with Dylan, but that it's because her first husband was a horrible man who did "the worst thing a father can do to his daughter."

Orson tells Bree he's had a call from the convent: Danielle's had a fall and might lose the baby. Bree decides she has to go to her side, brushing away Susan's demands for an explanations about the "scuzzy gyno." The doctor calls back and Bree cries at the news that Danielle and baby are okay.

Susan comes over to call a truce and wants to know why there's been so much distance between them since Bree got pregnant. Bree lies that there've been some complications with the baby and she didn't want to tell anyone. Susan assures Bree she's not mad. She's freaking out herself because she caught Mike building a crib so early it could be considered a jinx. Susan is happy that they're friends again and happily talks about what it will be like to see their new babies grow up together.

Gaby tries to reassure Victor that her affair with John is long over and "not a big deal." He's busy trying to figure out how to "spin" the revelation, saying it is a big deal to him. She tells Carlos it's back on since she not only loves him, but the way he loves her, especially compared to Victor. While Gaby is upstairs, Victor asks Carlos how he refrained from killing John when he found out about the affair. He adds that with money, it's easy to make anyone disappear.

Meanwhile, we finally see the office of the "hit man" Carlos has hired: He's not a hit man at all, but an accountant!

Katherine catches Julie and Dylan in Dylan's old room and forbids her to see Julie again. Adam finds Katherine boxing up the possessions there. She's decided that making the room off limits was a mistake and now she's getting it ready for her aunt. He wonders why she told everyone what she did about Dylan's father and she says she wants everyone to be uncomfortable, because uncomfortable people don't ask questions. Alone in the old bedroom, she pulls up the rug and sobs over what looks like a bullet hole in the wooden floor.
