The Scavo Pizzeria is robbed while Lynette's there. Lynette and Rick are stuck in the walk-in freezer, where they grow closer to each other. Later, while Tom, Lynette, Rick, and a security guard are looking through security tapes, Tom is unpleasantly shocked to find Lynette having dinner with Rick. Tom confronts Rick and tells him to quit working at the pizzeria because Tom and Lynette's marriage, although currently going through a rough patch, will survive. Lynette fires Rick and tells Tom that Rick quit his job to work somewhere else where they're offering him a better salary. Tom tells Lynette that he's coming back to work, as the doctor gave him permission to. In her bathroom, Lynette turns the water on so Tom can't hear her quiet sobs.
Shopping with Vern for an outfit for election night, Gabrielle has a run-in with a meter man who gives her a parking ticket which she feels she didn't deserve. At Victor's party, the wife of Victor's campaign manager tells Gabrielle that if Victor is elected as mayor, she won't have to pay for anything again, including parking tickets. Victor is elected as mayor. The next day, Gabrielle and the same meter man have an argument when she is given a ticket. She tries to talk him out of writing the ticket by telling him that she's engaged to the mayor, but that doesn't convince him. After kicking the meter man, she is arrested. When Gabrielle arrives home, Victor is angry at Gabrielle for making a spectacle that will be harmful for his image as the newly elected mayor. Gabrielle apologizes and shows Victor her bruised wrist from the meter man twisting it in their scuffle earlier that day. While Gabrielle and Victor dance at his victory party, across town two hired men walk up to the meter man as he is leaving work and beat him up.
