Back in Business
Season 5 | Episode 4 | Aired 10/19/08

We feel awful for Mike when he sees that he barely figures in MJ's drawing of his family. He tries the quick fix of buying MJ a bike, but then doesn't have time to teach him. In his absence, Jackson steps in, a definite problem when Mike finally comes over to show MJ the basics! We can't really approve of Susan's solution: She orders MJ to fake a few spills and he ends up with a sprained arm. At the hospital, MJ admits he fell on purpose and Susan tells Mike that being divorced means that they'll both miss important moments in their son's life.

  • Band of Brothers Dave looks more and more sinister as he pulls the strings of those around him. First, he invites Tom, who's reluctantly getting rid of his prized guitar, to start a band with him. Even Lynette is under Dave's sway when she agrees that Tom's midlife crisis could lead to far more dangerous pursuits than a garage band. Karen urges Edie to start questioning Dave's past. When Edie pushes her hubby to reveal where he went to college, he admits didn't go and that deeply embarrasses him. Realizing who's to blame for her inquisitiveness, he recalls his own grandmother's paranoid dementia. We get a hint of how he'll get even with Karen when he says, "I just hope that doesn't happen to Karen."
