Desperate Housewives (Ep.416) "The Gun Song"
Child Protective Services shows up at the Scavos to follow up on Kayla's complaint that Lynette has been abusing her. Lynette is warned that if anything else happens, it could jeopardize the custody of all her children. Kayla overhears this and burns her arm with a curling iron. Lynette is immediately placed under arrest. When Tom visits Lynette at the jail, she says it's up to him to fix this, since Kayla is his daughter.
Bree runs into Orson at their church and orders him to stop stalking her, insisting there's no chance she'll take him back. Later, she's at lunch with the recently separated Reverend Green -- Orson shows up, and Bree asks if she can take the reverend's hand to convince Orson that things are really over between them. It works and Orson leaves. Unfortunately, the Reverend takes this as a sign that Bree might be romantically interested in him and makes an advance on her. She puts the Reverend straight insisting that she is not interested in him – he is offended.
At church the following Sunday, the Reverend has planned a special sermon about a “redheaded harlot in their midst”; Orson, hearing this, seeks out Reverend Green, insisting he cannot give his sermon. They accidentally activate the P.A. system, which transmits their entire argument to the whole congregation. Bree, mortified tries to sneak out, but rushes back to the Reverend’s office only to find an unconscious Orson. He is taken to the hospital.

Mike learns of this change when Susan and the baby are discharged from the hospital. He is upset, and tells her how his grandfather raised him after his father went to jail. After hearing the story, Susan resigns herself to the name.
Gabrielle is caught in Ellie’s room with an undercover policeman; and quickly throws herself at him, pretending to be having an affair. Ellie finds it hard to believe that Gaby would cheat on Carlos with this overweight handy-man. But Gaby manages to convince her of it – describing how passionate he it. Ellie feeling sorry for Carlos tells him about the affair. Given Gaby’s past, Carlos believes his wife is at it again, and confronts her with the news. Gaby tells Carlos it isn’t true and that it was the undercover policeman.
The sting is on and the police call Gaby to give her advanced warning they are moving in! Gaby, feeling close to Ellie warns her, and she is able to make a break from it, and elude police arrest.
Wayne returns to confront Katherine about Dylan. He demands a strand of Katherine’s hair to determine if Dylan is even her daughter. She refuses, and before things can get ugly, Lee and Bob drop, asking Katherine to cater their commitment ceremony later in the week.
Adam comes back when he hears that Wayne is back and offers to warn him off for Dylan's sake, but Katherine, who's been getting in some target practice at the gun range, says that won't be necessary. Adam tells Katherine he plans to take Dylan on a trip after graduation, and that they should all go – and not come back!
Later that night, at Dylan’s recital Wayne lures Adam to the parking lot and knocks him out with a tire iron. Wayne is up to no good.

Grey's Anatomy (Ep.413) "Piece of My Heart"
Addison returns to Seattle Grace for a prenatal surgery and it seems nothing has changed. She comes across Meredith and Derek and assumes they're still together. Miranda assures Addison that several things have changed, including Derek and Meredith breaking up.
The case that has brought Addison back is extremely rare: a fetus's heart is growing outside its body.
Alex is assisting Addison on the surgery and has little time to spare when Ava shows up unexpectedly; even when she announces that she's pregnant!
Cristina is jealous of Callie's friendship with Erica, and Izzie is jealous when she finds out that George had a party that all her interns are now hung-over from.
Addison wants to know what happened between Meredith and Derek, but all he'll admit is that he's now seeing someone else.
During the fetal surgery, Addison asks Miranda who Derek's unlucky rebound woman is and is told that it's the nurse to her right, Rose.
Izzie helps a couple who are pregnant but don't want the baby: The mother is HIV-positive and thinks she can't have a baby without infecting it.
George informs Izzie she can't come to the dart party as the interns don't want to get drunk with their boss.
Richard offers to rehire Addison but she tells him he needs to fill her position: She's not coming back.
At Joe's, Addison's words are still on Callie's mind, so when Mark asks her to dance, she eagerly accepts. Erica watches jealously as Callie leaves the bar with Mark.
Cristina asks Erica why she won't teach her. Erica tells her to stop seeking her approval. When Addison finds Erica's dismissal harsh, Erica says, "She reminds me of me."
Just as Alex seems to be reconsidering his relationship with Ava, Izzie looks at Ava's paperwork: She's not pregnant!
