Episode 1 - Now You Know 5/5/2008 Edit details Despite having plans to run away together, Carlos tells Gabby that she cannot leave her after Edie’s suicide attempt, which, of course, is just a ploy to get Carlos to stay. Edie has also discovered Carlos’ overseas bank account worth $10 million. Bree and Andrew argue over the former’s plan of disguising Danielle’s child as their own. In a barbecue party, meanwhile, Bree’s fake stomach is stabbed by a barbecue fork, which Bree and Orson dismiss as a prank. Lynette, meanwhile, still has not told anybody about her cancer.

Episode 2 - Smiles of a Summer Night 10/7/2007 Edit details Julie is forbidden to go to a party despite approval from Susan because of Mike. Later on, Susan reveals that she just wants Mike to feel that he is part of the decision-making process but she is free to go. Meanwhile, Lynette is looking for company during her chemotherapy sessions. Everyone is willing but she picks Gabrielle, who reveals that the reason why she is uncomfortable about the set-up is because when her father died of cancer, she was instructed by her mom not to cry about it to avoid disappointment for her dad. During lunch, meanwhile, Katherine swaps her pie with Bree so that people will get to try it. Bree is furious and wants to know her secret ingredient. Carlos is blackmailed by Edie to marry her lest his secret bank account be revealed.

Initially hesitant to attend, they eventually accept when they learn of the fight they overheard on the Mayfair home. Susan asks for the name of Bree’s gynecologist but the latter ends up giving her a different one. Meanwhile, Bree spreads humors about what she overheard in the Mayfair household and Carlos asks for more time in telling Edie about Gabby. At the party, however, everyone sees the new engagement ring Edie brought for herself and Gabby is not happy.

Episode 4 - If There's Anything I Can't Stand 10/21/2007 Edit details Susan tries to be hospitable in welcoming a new gay couple in Wisteria Lane but fails miserably. She heats some cookies with ingredients one of them is allergic to and she ends up causing damage to a very expensive suit courtesy of a runaway dog. Bree receives a motorcycle, which Orson crashes. She also refuses to hold a baby shower to cover up her fake pregnancy, but her friends decide to surprise her. Meanwhile, Edie receives news from her gynecologist that she has crabs. When Carlos finds out, he thinks Gabby and in turn Victor might have it too.

Episode 5 - Art Isn't Easy 10/28/2007 Edit details The ladies’ new neighbors install a strange sculpture in their front yard and no body except Susan like it. It was revealed to be a very noisy water fountain later on and even Susan wants it moved elsewhere. Katherine, meanwhile, runs for president of the homeowners’ association in Wisteria Lane. Lynette decides to run against her when Katherine does not promise to spare the tree house of her kids. Carlos elopes with Gabby on the pretense of a golf game during the weekend with his buddies. At the hotel with Carlos, Gabby runs into her former gardener, with whom she had an affair with, and his wife, who is a hotel heiress. When the gardener goes to their room to rekindle their flame and Gabby refuses, she and Carlos agree to break up with their respective partners before they continue with their relationship.

She wants to meet him to get information on any hereditary disease her unborn child might get from him. Mike sides with his father and justifies his crime. To celebrate the victory of his wife over cancer, Tom wants to take Lynette to celebrate. She, however, is too preoccupied with a loose possum on their yard, which, she says, reminds her of her cancer, which disrupted their lives. Danielle arrives at a Halloween party and impersonates her mother, much to her dismay. Meanwhile, Gabby leaves her husband, who is running for governor, for Carlos via voicemail.

Bree goes behind his back to proceed with the operation regardless. Dylan uses a school assignment to gain more information about her father, to which Katherine hesitantly concedes.

Susan leaves a “See me.” note on Mike’s secret drug stash and an argument causes Susan to fall down the stairs. Arriving at Gabby’s house, Carlos finds Victor armed with a guy. The two wrestle for it and end up in the street as the tornado rips through the street. Victor is impaled by a wayward post and Carlos is knocked unconscious.
