Mother Said
Season 4 | Episode 15 | Aired 05/11/08
Katherine tries to warn Dylan about Wayne, but Dylan continues to see her father anyway. Katherine tells Wayne that she got revenge for his abuse during their marriage by having several affairs and that Dylan isn't even his. He takes some gum Dylan was chewing and submits it for a DNA test and is horrified to find that Katherine was telling the truth.

He gets drunk and watches a home video of Dylan as a little girl, after she'd bravely gotten several stitches on her arm. He calls her and asks her to come over: He's got some things to tell her about her mother. When she arrives, he starts examining her arms and then angrily orders her to leave, although he won't say why.

  • Oh, Mama Mike's mother, Adele, arrives like a whirlwind. She insists on teaching Susan her family's recipes and also suggests that maybe she should get a "real" job. Susan is tired of the little jabs "Mama" makes and knows she'll leave as soon as the baby comes. That's why she pours a glass of water over her feet and announces that her water just broke. She later confesses her deception but tells Mike that it really is time for his mother to go. Mike is finally telling his mother to hold her tongue about Susan when she goes into labor, this time for real!
  • Hang In There In the Season 3 finale, we were gasping for breath when it appeared as though Edie was intent on hanging herself. Well, she was…kinda. It was really supposed to be a staged event so Carlos would come in to save her. Thankfully he did, as she miscalculated her faux suicide attempt. As for Carlos, he tells Gaby they'll have to delay any getaway plans for a spell. That's fine since she just married Victor anyway.
