"Connect! Connect!" is the 99th episode of the ABC television series, Desperate Housewives. It is the twelfth episode of the show's fifth season and aired on January 11, 2009.

The episode begins the morning after Edie kicked Dave out of the house, and the housewives drop by after she told them what happened. When the housewives are comforting Edie, Susan announces that she is moving in with Jackson in Riverton, causing the housewives to be excited and happy for her, leaving Edie upset. When Edie is clearing out the basement of Andrew and Alex's new house, Susan comes over with her mail and accidentally locks them in. Edie reveals her anger at Susan, accusing Susan of stealing her thunder by announcing her move. They later enter a discussion about men and Edie tells Susan how she's always had to depend upon a man. By drawing up a timeline, Susan discovers she's never been without a man for a significant amount of time. Meanwhile, Edie realizes she's only ever had meaningless conquests of men, including Carlos Solis, Mike Delfino and Karl Mayer, due to Edie's father's behavior. Edie told Susan that her parents separated when she was 16 as her father left her to another woman. He also took away her horse collection as a gift for her younger stepsister, saying that Edie is too old for toys. As a result, each woman decides to make a change. Edie lets Dave move back in, stating she's ready to settle down, and Susan decides not to move away with Jackson and learns to enjoy for the first time in her life, what it's like to be alone.

Lynette has a visitor from her mother's retirement home, who has come to complain about the noise that Porter is making during his stay. As soon as she finds out where he is, she goes to the home to try to find him. Stella is hostile towards Lynette, acting as though she doesn't recognize her and blaming her for putting her in the home. Stella tells Lynette she knew someone had complained about Porter so she made sure he had left before she arrived to take him. Lynette leaves the home, upset at her mother's anger, and is on the phone to Tom when an accident occurs. Two vehicles in front of Lynette collide, and that gives her the idea to pretend she's in a car accident. This lures Stella and Porter to the hospital and to Stella's shock Lynette appears perfectly fine from around the corner. Tom and Lynette convince Porter to go to the hearing, and the case is eventually thrown out due a lack of evidence. Lynette returns to the home to an angry Stella and explains her reasons for putting her in the home and why visiting her isn't a pleasant experience. Stella reveals her fear of dying and says she stays angry because it's all she has left. Lynette agrees that if Stella changes she will visit at least twice a week and sometimes bring the children along with her.
