Susan Mayer is trying to jog Mike’s memory. In his room, she is playing "their" song, "Car Wash," which they danced to some time ago. Mike doesn’t remember at all. The next day, Susan brings her infamous macaroni and cheese dish to the hospital. The usual nurse, Marcie, is vacationing in Honolulu, Hawaii. When Edie comes into the hospital, Nurse Parker, Marcie’s replacement, tells her that Edie has been visiting Mike every single day since he woke up. Edie has been passing herself off as Mike’s girlfriend. When Susan and Edie both tell Nurse Parker that they’re the real girlfriend of Mike, she sides with Edie, and orders security to take Susan out of the building. Marcie is the only nurse that knows the truth about Susan and Mike’s relationship. The next day, Susan tricks the nurse to tell Edie she has a phone call. While Edie is on the phone, (when no one is there) Susan takes Mike out of the hospital, and back to Wisteria Lane. She tells him about accidentally locking herself outside naked, their first kiss in his pick-up truck, and meeting each other at Mary Alice’s wake, but Mike remembers none of these stories. When Susan trips on the curb, Mike remembers her being a klutz. Susan is very happy, that is, until the hospital security guard finds them. Susan and Edie both try to convince each other that Mike will end up with them.
Bree orders Gus, a motel manager, to open the room Robert Falati and Danielle are in. He does, and Mr. Falati and Danielle are embarrassed to have their private sex interrupted. Bree makes the two break up, and Danielle is devastated. Danielle attempts a half-hearted suicide by smashing a beer bottle on her own head, taking pills, and slashing her wrist with a spoon. After this, Orson, Bree, Andrew, and Danielle all meet with a therapist. At the session, Danielle threatens Bree that if she tries to break up the relationship with Mr. Falati (who is getting a divorce) or tries to get him fired, she will run away for good. This backfires as Bree tells Mr. Falati that Danielle is moving in with him. Mr. Falati says no, and Bree, pretending to be angry, says Danielle would be devastated and he should break up with her. She threatens that if he tells Danielle she was behind this, she will tell his wife. So he breaks up with Danielle. She gets her revenge by telling his wife about their relationship, resulting in him not getting any money in the divorce.
