- The new neighbors of Wisteria Lane, Bob and Lee, install an art sculpture in their front yard and the rest of the neighbors declare it an eyesore except for Susan, who is still trying to get on their good side.[1] But even she has to object when its true function is revealed early the next morning: It is a water fountain, and a noisy one at that.[2] She asks them to move it to the backyard and they refuse, claiming they need it to cover all the noise coming from her house.[3]
Katherine Mayfair decides to run for president of the homeowners association, which has languished since the death of its former president, Mary Alice Young. Bob and Lee try to get Lynette Scavo on their side and she only agrees after they convince her that Katherine will object to her kids treehouse. When Katherine will not promise her that the treehouse will be spared, Lynette decides to run against her. Lynette expects Susan to vote for her, but she remains firmly anti-fountain. The vote comes down to a tie (as Susan voted for both Katherine and Lynette), but Edie Britt points out that Susan voted twice. Susan reluctantly puts in her vote for Katherine. A triumphant Katherine informs Bob and Lee, and Lynette, that she will be in touch regarding their infractions. Her husband Adam though refuses to congratulate Katherine on her victory, reminding her that she has not exactly made any friends since they moved to Wisteria Lane, and that if she remembers what incident happened in Chicago, friends can be very handy.

He tells Bree she was going to have to outbid Phyllis if she wants the baby. Bree and her husband Orson tell Danielle how proud they are that she is raising the baby on her own, instead of going to that party school in Florida, the one they no longer have any objections to her attending. Once they mention the convertible they were going to give her, and how Phyllis is not in the best health, Danielle agrees to let Bree raise the baby after all. Bree promises a heartbroken Phyllis that she will ask her to babysit.
