Back in Business
Season 5 | Episode 4 | Aired 10/19/08
Gabrielle is desperate for more sex with Carlos, so she arranges an afternoon playdate for Juanita. Unfortunately, Juanita comes home early and catches them in bed! When Juanita blurts out her newfound sex education to her friend, the playdates are off. We have to hand it to Gabrielle when she convinces the friend's mother that parents need "playdates" too.

Edie asks Dave to buy a now-empty house on the block so they can rent it out. She's shocked, and so are we, when Dave refuses and even more so when he yells at her! Dave does a 180 when he learns that Mike's only reason for not joining his garage band is the time he spends commuting. We're amazed at the lengths Dave goes to when he buys the house as a present to Edie and gives Mike a fantastic deal on the rent. He insists that no one, especially Mike, know that he and Edie are the landlords.

  • 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."
