Angie caught Bree and Karl in the act on "Desperate Housewives" Nov. 15, 2009. Orson had asked Angie to spy on Bree because he thought she was having an affair. Angie told Bree about Orson's request because she thought it was hilarious and absurd. Her opinion soon changed, though, when she saw Bree and Karl making out in Bree and Orson's bedroom. Soon after that she saw Orson going in to the house. She immediately called Bree to warn her, which thankfully worked. Orson was still convinced there was a man in the house because of a glass of wine downstairs, but Angie quickly entered the room with the glass pretending she had been there all night. After Orson left Angie told Bree she needed to choose.

Another alarming thing this week came from Angie's husband, who made a very suspicious phone call. He told the person on the line that he was considering coming in but wouldn't come in unless "she" was clear. I'm guessing "she" is Angie, but I have no idea who he was on the phone with. Whatever the phone call was about it must've been a big secret because after the phone call he strangled the waitress in the coffee shop who he believed had overheard the conversation.

Breaking records

Susan and Katherine had some time to bond this week. The two started out in court, where the judge took no pity on Susan shooting Katherine and sentenced her to picking up trash. Katherine soon joined her after she stopped by the street where Susan was working, threw her drink container out the window and Susan reported her.

While working their community service Susan learned an interesting fact about Katherine and Mike's sexual relationship. Later that day Susan tried to top Katherine's old record. And the next day she tried to top her own record. Mike was suspicious of his wife's new amorous behavior, and she eventually broke down in tears and told Mike was Katherine told her. Mike admitted it was true, and then made the mistake of telling his wife that sex was all he ever had with Katherine. He had no problem convincing her that he has everything with her and had nothing with Katherine.

Take the bribe

Gaby is threw with home schooling her daughter. She was so over the idea of trying to teach her daughter that she tried to bribe the priest at their church  and the dean at the nearby Catholic school with a big wad of cash. He said flat out "no" the first time she asked.

Time to tell

In the beginning of the episode Lynette said she had only two days until she could tell Carlos about her pregnancy. She and her associate were about to land a huge deal that could prove to Carlos that her associate could do it with out her. Unfortunately, Lynette's plan went to Hell after Gaby stormed in to his office angry about not being able to bribe the priest. Carlos told her he didn't want to hear about it now because he was feeling pressure trying to get their Florida office up and running. Outside Gaby ran in to Terrence, Lynette's associate, who had overheard the conversation and mentioned that his daughter is in the second grade at the same school. With that said, the man was given the promotion and off to Florida he was going.

Lynette could not have this, so she invited him and his wife over for dinner, and she and Tom tried to convince the couple that Florida would be a horrible place to live. Of course, Terrence immediately turned down the job, which led to Gaby losing the school spot for Juanita. When Gaby went over to ask Lynette why she talked Terrence out of moving to Florida she learned the truth about Lynette. Gaby was so hurt that Lynette would lie to Carlos and her and hurt Carlos' business that she stormed out.

The next day Carlos told Lynette he wanted her to run the Florida office. He wasn't sending her there because he believed in her. Carlos was sending her there because he didn't want her in their office. He understood he couldn't fire her because she was pregnant, but he definitely understood that there was nothing wrong with her quitting if she didn't want to take the promotion.
