    Susan goes into the woods to try to find Mike. Gabrielle gets into an argument with a meter man who gives her a ticket. Victor is elected mayor, and Gabrielle goes back to teach the meter man a lesson. Edie's ex-husband comes back to collect Travers. Lynette realizes she has feelings for another man.

    Susan and Mike's relationship at the end of season 3 seems way too much like a fairy tale... Getting back together, the proposal, the wedding... Then she gets pregnant in season 4! I'm glad that they get divorced, just to add drama to their happy ending. Good episode, otherwise, though. I just wasn't crazy about Susan's plot.moreless

    To be honest I love this show, season three is very good and i've really started to enjoy lynettees character! Glad she didn't have an affair and was happy that tom said he wouls stay with her anyway! Susan was very funny in the woods as you'd expect. Glad she and mike are back together. Gabby was very funny and at her best! Victor was an idiot! The best scene was lynette in the bathroom crying just great!! Such a great show can't wait for the finale but sad to see it end! This show gets better as it goes. I LOVE this show!!!!!!!!!!moreless

    lynette and rick are pushed even closer together when they are robbed. he soon confesses his feelings for her. tom finds out about there relationship and tells rick to quit. though, lynette fires him. it kinda felt weird that lynette thought she was doing it for herself, but really he would have quit anyway. susan goes into the woods, hence the title to find mike. she is paired with this tour guide who just does not get along with her. susan gets lost, but in the end, her and mike are reunited and get back together. just how it should be. also, gaby thinks marrying victor will give her a lot of power, so she goes up against a cop, which leads her to some interesting info about her soon to be husband. this was a very funny and good episode.moreless

    This was one of the best episode the whole season! Lynette and Rick get robbed and also get closer. Tom finds out and doesn't like it all and tells Rick to quit his job. Gabby gets in a fight with a police officer that doesn't go well. Susan heads off to find Mike and later ditches the ranger and gets lost. Mike later finds her and they get back together. I was glad they got back because they do seem better then Ian even though I like Ian at the beginning. Lynette also fires Rick and then she moves on and Tom agrees to come back to work.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Though Edie's ex husband is named "Charles McLain", his name is never mentioned in the episode. Edit
    • Goof: When Lynette and Rick are thrown in the freezer she states that it is 42 degrees farenheit in there and that they will freeze to death. Still there comes no "smoke" from their breath and if you look closly on the shelves in the freezer you don't see any frost on the stuff there. Edit
    • Goof: When Lynette is cleaning off the tables while talking to Rick at the pizzeria, she is using a plain white cloth to wipe off the leftover food at the bar and when she is done, we can clearly see her putting the white cloth inside the tray. The next shot when she is walking away from the bar, the cloth is hanging from the tray and it is now blue with white stripes. When they turn the camera to Rick again, we can see that the cloth is missing from the tray. After Lynette breaks the plate, the cloth is back in the shot again. Edit

    • Ranger Thompson: I'm sorry, I just can't let you go up there... Susan: (interrupting) Can't? There is no "can't" in love. There is a man on that mountain that I intend to spend the rest of my life with and nothing is going to keep me from him! Not fate, not destiny and definitely not you! Ranger Thompson: To finish my thought ma'am, I can't let you go up there alone. You'll need a guide. Susan: Oh. Cool. Edit
    • Rick: I'm staying as long as Lynette wants me there. And make no mistake. She wants me there. Tom: Oh, buddy. You're not thinking this thing through, because Lynette will never leave her family. So the best, and I mean the very best, that you can hope for is to catch her in a weak moment and leave a wound in her marriage that will take years to heal, but it will heal, because I will stand by her and I will love her just as hard as she hates herself for what she did. You still feel like sticking around? Edit
    • Susan: Mike, I twisted my ankle. Mike: Good. 'Cause now I get to do this. (picks her up and kisses her) Edit
