Excited and Scared
Season 7 | Episode 6 | Aired 10/31/10
Lynette is worried because Allison has been having mood swings and memory issues. She tries to convince Tom there could be something wrong, but he refuses to see it. When Allison goes missing on Halloween night, Tom desperately combs the neighborhood looking for her. But it’s Lynette who finds Allison scared and confused on Gaby’s doorstep. Finally, Tom is able to see that his mom needs help. He make the difficult decision to send her to a nursing home.

Juanita thinks Grace stole her mom’s necklace, so she swipes it back. Gaby explains that she actually gave the heirloom to Grace as a gift. Juanita feels like an ignored little dog come Halloween night. Part of the reason is she dressed up like a dog to go trick or treating. But she also believes her mom is more interested in Grace, who is dressed to the hilt in a princess costume handmade by Gaby. This motivates Juanita to help Grace get out of her tiara by cutting off a chunk of her hair.
"Whoever left you handcuffed to the bed for three days...he has my respect."


Juanita is obviously upset by all of the attention Gaby is giving Grace. Carlos suggests they pull back a little. After all, they have to protect their daughter. Gaby reminds him that they are both their daughters. This could get very, very complicated.
