Anything You Can Do
Season 1 | Episode 7 | Aired 11/21/05
It turns out Mike is investigating the disappearance of Kendra's sister, who was last seen at the Saddle Ranch. Edie tells Susan she overheard Mike and Kendra say they were going to a cowboy bar for drinks, so the two rivals follow them there. When Mike sees Susan, she tries to convince him she's not following him by saying she's just there to ride the mechanical bull. But klutzy Susan gets knocked off her feet by the bull before she even gets on. While Mike fetches some ice for Susan's head, Kendra tells her to ask Mike why he really moved to Wisteria Lane.

Edie meets with Paul about selling his house. When Paul sees her stationery, he realizes it's exactly like the blackmail note. He meets with his P.I. and is told his options: "For five grand, she's hurt, for 10 grand, she's gone." The P.I. sees Edie out at the bar and makes his move.

  • Edie Britt Edie Britt certainly got around while she was on Wisteria Lane, and not just because she sold real estate. Early on, she battled with Susan for Mike's affections. She also had a thing with Susan's ex, Karl. Carlos, too! But it was that ill-fated relationship with Dave Williams that ultimately led to her "shocking" demise.
  • Chest Pains When Mike is arrested, Susan realizes that Martha Huber was murdered on the same night she and Mike first slept together. She's his alibi! Mike later gives Susan a letter that explains his past indiscretions. Susan and Edie snoop around Paul Young's house. They find a tape labeled "Utah, Angela Award Party." Later, a toy chest that Paul bought years ago turns up with a woman's body inside. The dead lady is identified as Deirdre, the ex-girlfriend Mike has been searching for answers about ever since he moved to Wisteria Lane.
  • One Bad Mama Gabrielle is alarmed when her mother-in-law, Juanita, shows up unexpectedly for an extended visit. Turns out Carlos called her because he suspects Gabrielle of having an affair. Mama Solis snaps a picture of Gaby in bed with John. She then runs out to the street where she's struck by a speeding car! Gaby tells John to go home, asks the cabbie to dial 911, and snags the incriminating camera. We think it's sweet that Gaby is so concerned about making sure her mother-in-law's personal property doesn't fall into the wrong hands. We also learn that the hit-and-run driver who plowed into Mama Solis was Bree's son, Andrew.
