"Who Can Say What's True?" is the 168th episode of the ABC television series, Desperate Housewives. It is the eleventh episode of the show's eighth season and was broadcast on January 15, 2012.

Immediately following the events of the previous episode, Bree makes her way to Gabrielle's house to talk with her and Lynette about the second letter she just received. After a tense discussion about the issue Gabrielle and Lynette come to the conclusion that since Bree is the only one who has received any letters, then maybe who ever this person is only wants her. A disgusted Bree marches off while Gabrielle and Lynette decide to reconcile and continue to be mad at Bree. As Bree walks home a person is seen in a car, watching her.

Susan heads to Oklahoma to visit Alejandro's family. Once she gets there she sees that the house is for sale and is invited in by the Realtor who shares private information about the family. Alejandro's wife, Claudia, comes home and is disgusted to hear the conversation taking place. The Realtor excuses herself and Susan offers to buy many of Claudia's nick-nacks, pretending to be an Americana collector and writes her a check. Claudia says that Alejandro leaves for extended periods of time often, but always comes back, and that he is a good husband and a good man. While she says this her daughter looks on with fear in her eyes and face, something Susan can't help but notice.

Lynette makes dinner at her house for herself and her kids, and all of them notice that the light is flickering. The kids mention that Lynette should call their father, as he will know what to do, but Lynette abruptly refuses. Saying that she should be more independent she attempts to fix the problem herself but the next day she ends up putting holes in the kid's walls, much to their dismay. After Parker and Penny say to call their father or at least a repairman Lynette becomes angry with her kids saying that she will do it herself and that if she had known that their father would eventually leave she would have had him teach her how to do things like that. Upset that she yelled at her kids, Lynette goes to make dinner.

When Mike's paycheck bounces he goes to Ben who tells him that he just switched banks and there must have been a misunderstanding. At work Mike sees that things are being taken away and goes to talk Ben who is obviously taking money from a loan shark to pay loans. Mike says that Ben will never be able to pay him back and will always be at his mercy and tells the loan shark and his assistances to leave. Later Mike makes the comment that Renee got $12 million from her divorce, something that Ben hadn't realized.
