Episode 1.16: The Ladies Who Lunch
Airdate: March 27, 2005
A lice outbreak at the boys’ school turns Lynette into a pariah, much like Rex after the arrest of Maisy Gibbons (Sharon Lawrence) reveals the contents of her little black book. Meanwhile, a sewage problem has Gaby drowning in money woes; and Edie helps Susan get over Mike, but ends up learning way too much about another man on the block.
Maisy Gibbons’ (guest star Sharon Lawrence) series of unfortunate events shock the residents of Wisteria Lane, and have unexpected consequences for Bree; Gabrielle faces a crisis of her own when her sewer system goes out and she doesn’t have the money to fix it; and Lynette braves a scandal herself when it’s rumored that the twins started the school’s head lice epidemic. Meanwhile, as Susan sinks into depression over her breakup with Mike, she finds a surprising ally.
One of the housewives is arrested. Her husband files for divorce. One of the kids in Wisteria Lane gets the blame for a head lice outbreak at school.
