Plot

While visiting Mike, who is in a coma, Susan is invited on a date by another man; Gabrielle and Carlos are getting divorced, but briefly reunite when their surrogate runs away; Lynette realizes Kayla is more than she can handle.

Six months later. Mike has been in a coma since the hit-and-run accident, with Susan by his side, and nobody suspecting it was the shady Orson, who proposes marriage to Bree, without either asking for sex first. Meanwhile, Gabrielle and Carlos are getting divorced, but they are briefly reunited when their pregnant surrogate mother Xiao Mei runs away after being unable to stand Gabby's constant bickering. While adjusting to having Tom's other child around the house, Lynette realizes that the girl's trailer-trash mother, Nora, is more than she bargained for when she keeps showing up at the house with Kayla as if Tom's other wife, and makes Tom decide who comes first, a birthday party does the rest. While at the hospital, Susan is asked on a date by Ian Hainsworth, whose spouse is also in a coma. During Bree and Orson's engagement party, the mysterious Carolyn Bigsby arrives, claiming that Orson murdered his wife Alma who he claims has left him. Edie is desperately trying to sell the Young house in the aftermath of their departure from Whisteria Lane.—Anonymous

Six months after his accident, Mike is still in a coma. While visiting, Susan strikes up a friendship with Ian, a man whose wife is also comatose. Susan is torn when Ian asks her out to dinner, so she tells the unconscious Mike that she won't go if he will only wake up. Lynette is doing her best to be supportive of Tom as he gets to know his illegitimate child, but she draws the line at including the girl's mother Nora. With Carlos having moved out, Gaby is growing tired of waiting hand and foot on the very pregnant Xiao Mei. Orson proposes to Bree, and a flashback reveals Orson may not be the man Bree thinks he is.
