The Art of Making Art
Season 8 | Episode 5 | Aired 10/23/11

With Tom going out for pricey dinners with a woman in his apartment complex, Lynette believes it's time for her to start dating, too. Renee dismisses her notion of joining an online dating service. The real men are at the bars. Lynette looks great but does not mesh with the men she meets at the club. She even runs into a guy she used make grilled cheeses for when he was a kid. She used cut them into dinosaur shapes!

After Lynette flees from the club, she meets, Scott, a nice divorced guy who is also trying to get out there for the first time. The two of them head back to his place where things take a turn for the passionate. They are just about to head into the bedroom when Lynette drops her wedding ring. When she finally finds it, Lynette stares at the gold band with an anguished look. She realizes she's not ready for any of this as she heads home alone.
