Beth Young shot herself in head and is on life support. Her last wish was to donate a kidney to her dear friend Susan Delfino. Okay, Beth and Susan weren’t really friends. That’s probably why a grieving Paul tells his former neighbor that there’s no way she’s going to strip his wife for spare parts. Mike wants to fight this thing. The law is on their side. But that doesn’t matter to Susan. She barely acknowledged Beth in life, so why should she deserve anything from her in death?

Paul swings by the prison where Felicia tells him they need to stop hurling hatred at each other. She wants Beth taken off life support so she can rest. Later, Paul lets Susan know that he’s alerted the transplant office to move forward with Beth’s wishes. When he breaks down in tears, Susan gives him a hug. We suspect things will only get worse for Paul once he learns Felicia Tilman is being released from prison.

Tom gets a great new job offer, but declines the deal out of loyalty to Carlos. This has Lynette scheming for ways to get her hubby to reconsider. She performs a little bedroom seduction that’s typically reserved for corporate hotshots. As sexy as this scene is, Tom won’t be swayed. He will, however, ask Carlos to match the offer, which he doesn’t. Time for Plan B!

Lynette swings by the local car dealership to borrow a $70,000 sports car. She parks that puppy in Carlos’ driveway so that her hubby can see that his boss certainly can afford to pay him better. The plan works. Tom accepts the new job, but wants to renege once he learns what his wife did. A test drive in the sports car has Tom reconsidering his position.

Bree receives a call from Karen McCluskey in the early hours of one morning, telling her that Andrew was on her couch, passed out. Bree goes over to the house with Alex and they collect Andrew. They take him to his house and then she and Alex talk about Andrew’s problem. Alex mentions that he is thinking of leaving Andrew because of the seriousness of the problem, but Bree pleas him not too if she could help him.

Bree then secretly takes Andrew to an AA meeting (which he was not happy about). When it came to Andrews turn to talk he instead started to criticize his mother and he mentions some of the bad things she has done throughout his life.

Later on at Andrew’s house, Bree asks Andrew to come back to another meeting, but he insists that he doesn’t have a problem and that he is fine. Bree accepts this at first and leaves but then remembers about Beth and her pain, so she goes back inside and begs Andrew to discuss his problems. Andrew gets emotional as he tells her that Alex had left him due to his addiction. Bree asks Andrew one last time to come to the AA meeting, but he still says no. However, they end up having their own private meeting; just the two of them.

Renee and Gaby have been planning a big party. Everyone is invited, but no one feels like going because of the Beth Young situation. That’s not going to stop Renee from pressing forward with her fabulous spring fling. She’ll just order less shrimp.

The night of the big party arrives and Renee’s place is packed with a bunch of strangers. Gaby realizes the reason Renee wouldn’t cancel the party is because her mother also committed suicide. This party is her way of dealing with it. Remember how we said there were a bunch of strangers at the big bash? Well, that’s no longer the case once Gaby adds her name to the guest list.
