[edit] Plot
Lynette couldn’t remember the last time her family had breakfast together. So she stopped the kids from leaving, and brought them together for waffles. But the doorbell interrupted breakfast -- Porter’s arrested, and Tom and Lynette learn a witness linked him to the fire. Tom tells Lynette they’ll get through this. The family returns to breakfast, but it would be years before they’d have breakfast together again. Tom and Lynette join Porter with their lawyer, Bob. Porter denies what the witness said. But Porter has an alibi--he was at Edie’s! He broke into her house and stole her gun to get revenge against Mr. Schilling. He hid the gun in the flower jar at home. No one saw him, so Lynette says that’s not an alibi, but a confession. Lynette has the gun and plans on sneaking it back to Edie’s, over Tom’s disapproval. The judge set Porter’s bail at 20 thousand but Tom thinks they can tap into their savings. Alone with Bob, Lynette tells Bob she gave the money to Anne. Lynette could put up the restaurant and doesn’t go with the idea that Bob is Porter’s lawyer and not hers. Lynette shows up at Edie’s and talks to Dave about borrowing a sweater. Meanwhile, Dave sees the woman and toddler again. She goes upstairs to put back the gun in Edie’s drawer. Dave tells the woman to leave and will see her tomorrow. Lynette overhears.At the park, Porter’s confronted by Warren Schilling, who says Porter’s not safe outside of jail and he’ll make Porter disappear. “Porter” is at the courthouse -- only Lynette realizes it’s actually Preston, who tells them he's taking his twin's place as Porter's gone. Lynette and Tom are horrified. If things come out, they’ll lose a lot. Tom wants him to come clean but Lynette says she knows how to handle a crisis, and so Preston goes in to pose as his brother.
Carlos is beginning to see light and fuzzy shapes -- Gaby’s disappointed but the doctor’s hopeful. Gaby’s ready for sex. There’s a party for Carlos, and he tells the women how great it is. Gabrielle’s mad at Carlos for not wearing his glasses. Susan finds a baseball Carlos says is signed by Lou Gehrig--only it’s not actually that ball, as Gaby sold it. It’s been passed down over several generations. She sold it to some Italian guy. Gaby’s with the Italian collector, who’s using a translator. He won’t give the ball back. Unless--she dances on the table. Gaby turns him down. Gaby comes home to find Carlos with his daughters, seeing them for the first time. He sees a painting’s gone and she admits she sold it; when he’s ok with that, she says she sold the baseball, which he’s not ok with. He wants the baseball back and she’s going to get it. Gabrielle has returned to the collector, and she’s ready to dance. Gaby’s cleaning up when she finds a gorgeous dress in her closet. Carlos bought it after selling the baseball. He thanks her for taking care of the family while he was blind. They hug. He wants to sell his watch but she already did. Carlos looks in Gaby’s closet and sees how empty it looks. She comes home with the baseball, but she’s limping and won’t talk about it.
