We feel for Katherine when Mike tells her that even though he's no longer in love with Susan, he just doesn't see himself getting married again.  Oof. You know that stings.

To protect her business from Orson, Bree hires the "sleaziest, most unethical lawyer in town" -- Karl, Susan's ex!  But Karl needs a favor first: Get his unpopular bully of a son invited to MJ's sleepover. Bree bribes MJ with his favorite cookies and tells him he's the only one who can help her get rid of the bully in her life.

Tom and Lynette make a pact to have sex every day for a month but, with her new, demanding job, she falls asleep during sex! (Admit it, its happened to you.) Tom admits that he's unfulfilled as a stay-at-home dad and needs "something else" to be excited about besides housework. We can only wonder what crazy scheme he'll think up next.
