Marry me a little

Susan and Jackson announce their wedding intentions to a shocked neighbourhood and hold a small engagement party to 'keep things real'. Katherine's especially delighted, as it gets Mike thinking and he pops the question to her. Things soon start to unravel for Susan, though, when Mike reminds her he'll no longer have to pay alimony and Dave finds out it's all a scam to stop Jackson being deported to Canada. When Jackson's carted off by the immigration cops just before the wedding, Dave's left chuckling in the background... Dodgy lawyer Carl persuades Bree to burgle her own house as a way of stopping Orson getting half her possessions when she eventually hits him with the divorce petition. Although the break-in goes well, an unfortunately mistimed phone call from a storage company allows Orson to rumble what's been going on. Tom's feeling a little long-in-the-tooth, especially after hooking up with his old college room-mate who looks at least 10 years' younger. When he finds out plastic surgery is the secret, he wants to go under the knife too. So Lynette comes up with a plan to stop Tom in his tracks by inviting her work colleague, Bruce, over for dinner. His nips and tucks have made him look like a weird alien from outer space and Tom's horrified. There's a sweet moment afterwards when Lynette tells Tom she loves his wrinkles...
