Carlos calls Gabby on her cell phone while she's on the boat. She reluctantly answers.
Gabrielle: For God's sakes Carlos, am I gonna have to change this number?
Carlos: Victor knows!
Gabrielle: Knows what?
Carlos: Everything! Edie told him we're having an affair.
Gabrielle: No. it's impossible. He hasn't said a word. In fact, I've never seen him so sweet and attentive.
Carlos: It's an act! Edie said he was enraged!
Gabrielle: Well, if he's so mad at me, why would he take me on a boat trip?
Carlos: He took you on a boat?
Gabrielle: Oh crap! (edit) After she knocked Victor overboard for a second time
Gabrielle: I'm getting pretty good at that. (edit) Lucy: You may have been able to strong-arm the weak one, but not me.
Lydia: I'm not weak!
Lucy: Then why did you call me? Get out of our way.
Lynette: Lucy, every fight we have ever had has ended with my foot on your neck. I guarantee that this one's gonna end the same way too. (edit) Lynette: (referring to her mother) Well, we can't just throw her out on the street.
Lydia: I can!
Lynette and Lucy look at her with surprise
Lydia: My therapist said it's time for me to be a little more Lydia-centric.
Lynette: I really wanna meet this jackass. (edit) Lynette: (referring to her mother) I've had her for four months. I also had cancer for four months. And If I could've asked one of them to leave, I'm not sure which I would've picked.
Lucy: Oh, four months, boohoo! I had her for a year, and that was the year she joined the Gin of the Month club. (edit)

Although they never confirm which state this story is set in, this episode offers up that is a state that touches the ocean. (Victor states that he and Gaby are going out on the ocean in his boat.) Since Gaby was able to go back and forth at least twice in one day and the boat has FAIRVIEW on the back, it would strongly suggest that the fictitious "Eagle State" is on the West coast. (edit) Bree (alledgedly) just gave birth only a few days earlier, yet is is up and about without any signs of wear or exhaustion. She also doesn't even try to pad her figure with post-pregnancy weight, which is very likely after giving birth to a third child, especially for a woman her age. Granted, her pregnancy is a hoax, but for someone who is concerned on pulling it off as accurately as possible, you'd think she would try to make the effort. (edit) Timeline goof- In this episode, Bree and Mike discuss his accident at the end of Season two and mention that it was "almost two years ago". In these almost two years, Danielle has gone from being 3 months over 17 (considering Xiao-Mei's pregnancy) to turning 18. (edit) Watch carefully during the scene in the diner with Lynette and her sister. Her sister's key chain moves across the table before Lynette touches it. (Presumably they did several takes of Lynette grabbing it and forget to place back where it was originally.) (edit) Orson got circumcised when he was 5 years old. (edit)

Bree: My Grandma....Tzietel.

This is no doubt an allusion to the famous Jewish-oriented Broadway musical Fiddler On The Roof. (edit) Bree: By the way, his [Benjamin's] Hebrew name is Simcha. (Answering Orson's wondering look) I'll explain later.

Simcha means happiness in Hebrew. It's a modern (not Biblical) Hebrew name. (edit) The episode title "You Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover" is a song from the Stephen Sondheim musical "Anyone Can Whistle". (edit)
