Penny lets her mom know that Jane has moved out. This is great news for Lynette, who is excited when Tom asks to stop by to discuss something important. She gets all gussied up for his big announcement, but is extremely disappointed when Tom tells her that he's filing the divorce papers so they can both move on. Lynette now believes that Jane was never the problem. She thinks Tom just doesn't want to be married to her.

But what Tom didn't expect is to hear Lynette say that the person she's in love with is him. They share a long, loving passionate kiss smack-dab in the middle of Wisteria Lane. Finally!
