  • From Here to Paternity Lynette wants nothing to do with Tom after she caught him heading upstairs with a woman while he was supposed to be on a business trip? But when Parker breaks his arm, Lynette must cave and call his dad. At the hospital, Tom tells her all about that woman from Atlantic City. She was a dancer he met long before he knew Lynette, and who only recently told him that she has a daughter from their one-night stand. He's been keeping it a secret until a paternity test could I.D. him as the father. We knew Tom wouldn't cheat on Lynette!
  • Dinner Time Bree introduces herself to new neighbor Betty Applewhite and her son Matthew. She asks Betty if she can play the organ at Rex's funeral since their organist is on vacation. Betty says to Matthew that telling the neighbors that his dad is dead is a bit morbid. Matthew just thought it would help with their cover story. At the end of the day, we see Betty Applewhite and Matthew head into their basement. She's carrying a tray of food, he's carrying a gun. Once they're gone, we see what looks to be a hand bound by a leather restraint reach out to grab a drink off the tray. Hmmm.
