"The Game" is the 73rd episode of the ABC dramedy series Desperate Housewives. It was written by Joey Murphy and John Pardee and directed by Bethany Rooney. It is the third episode of the show’s fourth season and aired on October 14, 2007.
Susan plans a charades get-together for her neighbors. Her girlfriends Bree, Lynette and Gabrielle first make up excuses to get out of the evening, but later change their minds after hearing gossip about a fight in the Mayfair home. (see Smiles of a Summer Night.) They decide to try to get Katherine very drunk at the party to see if they can coax any kind of information out of her.
Susan asks Bree for the name of Bree’s gynecologist. As Bree doesn't actually have one, she pretends not to remember his name. As Susan remains persistent, Bree walks into the house, opens the telephone book and blindly picks a doctor’s name and gives it to Susan. When Susan goes to her appointment she discovers that the office is filthy and full of junkies. Susan confronts Bree about it at the party, and while Bree is horrified and incredibly apologetic, she can not give Susan an explanation.
Earlier in the episode, Adam is washing his car when a random young blonde woman jogs by and asks to drink from his garden hose. Katherine then bitterly confronts him for flirting, alluding to the fact that this might be a recurring character trait with Adam.
Lynette’s mom, fed up with seeing her daughter too sick to eat from her chemotherapy, buys weed from Andrew, bakes it into brownies, and has Lynette’s son Parker tell her he made them in order to get Lynette to eat them. Lynette, originally too weak and sick to make it to Susan’s party, suddenly feels great – unknowingly thanks to the brownies – and shows up to the charades party stoned.
Carlos begs Gabrielle to give him just two more weeks to dump Edie, and she reluctantly agrees. However, when getting ready for Susan’s party, Edie tells Carlos that she plans on announcing their engagement. Carlos is completely against this and asks Edie to not tell anyone yet. Edie agrees, but has secretly purchased an engagement ring for herself to wear. She pulls it out at the party.
