" which was promoted by ABC after the 83rd Academy Awards
and had a lead in from the season premiere of Secret Millionaire

This is the first time in its history that it did not place in the 20 most watched shows, ranking as the 26th most watched show, although it did place as the 13th most watched scripted show during the 2010-11 television season. The season averaged 11.85 million viewers per episode and is ABC's third most watched scripted show in total viewers after Body of Proof

However, her secret is soon discovered by Paul, who is now blackmailing her into letting him buy the house, an offer Mike has previously refused. When Mike learns of Susan's secret, he decides to accept the offer of working a couple of months in Alaska so they can return to their house in Wisteria Lane as soon as possible and Susan agrees to be Lynette's nanny. During a protest after Paul announced that he plans to open a halfway house for ex-convicts on the street, the protest escalates into a violent riot and Susan is trampled by the unruly crowd.

, Renee Perry, wife of New York Yankees
player Doug Perry, comes to visit her. While Lynette decides to ignore Tom's postpartum depression
, Renee listens to him, which Lynette thanks her for, but tells her to back off. She's also stunned after Tom's doctor prescribes marijuana as a cure for his depression. Lynette realizes that her daughter Penny is helping her a lot with the baby, and decides she needs a nanny. Tom enlists the help of his mother, who has very different views on family values than Lynette, which causes conflict. In addition, Tom's mother seems to be losing her memory. When Tom's mother, Allison, clashes with Lynette, he decides that the best thing to do for her is to send her to a nursing home. She hires Susan, who's having financial woes, to be her newborn baby's nanny. Lynette is shown to be insecure in their marriage when Tom complains that she never "talks him up" to her friends although they sort it out. When Lynette learns that Renee and Tom had a one night stand 20 years ago which happened right after Tom and Lynette became engaged, she doesn't take it well, and is of course upset but keeps it quiet and instead begins a series of pranks against Tom as payback. When Tom find out, he confronts Lynette and she eventually forgives him. When Tom gets a new job that provides well, Renee encourages Lynette to spend freely with money but also warns her that Tom will be spending more time away. When Tom attends a conference, Lynette is upset that she is unable to attend any of the events because she's just a wife, and she is not allowed to attend any speeches, so Lynette steals a woman's ID to attend a talk only to discover she has the identity of the keynote speaker. Back home, Renee watches as Tom and Lynette argue, and he complains, that after so many years of supporting Lynette, it hurts that she won't do the same for him. Then when Tom hires Lynette and Renee to decorate his office, Lynette decides to design it against the wishes of Tom. Renee overrules her to give Tom the office he wants. More tension arises between Tom and Lynette when Tom decides to book a luxurious holiday for the family and announces it Lynette is annoyed and consults Tom about why he did not consult her about it first. This leads to yet another fight between them; this time however they insult each other. They decide that it is only them who need to spend a holiday together. The holiday turns out badly and the relationship deteriorates and becomes extremely awkward. Before Lynette attends a street dinner party, Penny reveals to her that Tom had left her a note. Lynette is surprised and finds that Tom's unpacked suitcase from the holiday is not in the bedroom, convincing her that Tom had left her. After revealing to Susan that she thought Tom had left her, Lynette walks into her house, finding Tom, had returned. The two talk and Lynette confesses that when she thought Tom had left, she felt relieved, leading the pair to finally decide to separate.
