"Marry Me a Little" is the 109th episode of the ABC television series, Desperate Housewives. It is the twenty-second episode of the show's fifth season and aired on May 10, 2009.
Karl suggests several shady ways for Bree to hide her assets from Orson, including keeping double books, that she readily agrees to. But she can't believe her ears when he wants her to rob her own house.
Dave asks M.J. what he thinks of Jackson and turns the conversation to the fire at the nightclub, and whether the police have been by to question him about it.
Gabrielle spends a fortune on a new vase, but refuses to shell out for the canopy bed that Juanita wants because her friend has one. Juanita points out that they're supposed to be rich, so Gaby drags her to the church's soup kitchen to teach her gratitude for what she has. There, Gaby runs into an old friend, Fran, who used to be extremely well-off but is now homeless. Gabrielle decides Fran's downfall must have been a drinking or gambling problem.
Susan and Jackson plan to marry at City Hall in a few days, but he suggests having a big engagement party to convince immigration that it's a legitimate marriage. She's taken aback when he insists she can't tell anyone, not even her friends, that the marriage is a fraud. Jackson and Susan tell Mike and Katherine the news: Katherine is thrilled and throws her arms around Susan but Mike is worried that it's all happening too fast.
Tom's discouraged after he blew an interview because he didn't know what "Twittering" was. "I am a dinosaur," he laments. "My time has passed."
At Jackson and Susan's engagement party, Dave comments that he and Jackson probably haven't seen each other since the fire and Jackson mentions that he ran into a detective who wants to question him about that night. As Jackson starts to relate what he saw, Dave knocks over a tray of wine glasses. Orson says that Bree knows how to get red wine stains out of carpet, but can't find her.
That's because Bree is with Karl, breaking into her own house. Bree directs Karl on what to take, but when she starts rearranging the mantel to make up for the items they're taking, he knocks everything to the floor. "This place has to look like it was ransacked by robbers, not someone's personal shopper," he admonishes her. He wants to know why she's so uptight and encourages her to let loose a little. She insists she'd rather be a lady, but gives in and smashes a dental award Orson is very proud of.
At the party, Tom runs into an old college friend who looks remarkably young. The friend confesses his secret: He's had a facelift! And now Tom wants one too. "We can't afford it," Lynette says, but he claims it's an investment in their future.
