Later in the week, Lynette blackmails Hayley and then Naomi holds a past lie over her head. By the end of the week, Hayley feels like an outsider in a sea of Duprees. When she feels isolated and alone, what is she liable to do?
Meanwhile, Carlton finds himself in the doghouse with Nicole after their double date with Vanessa and Bill. So much so that she ends up taking Kial to Easter Brunch at the club.
