Ryan O'Neal guest stars as Rodney Scavo, father-in-law of Lynette Scavo (
Felicity Huffman). Rodney has a few surprises in store for Lynette and her husband, Tom -- and they don't come wrapped up in pretty ribbons. (Also, listen for an inside reference to the old TV soaper
Peyton Place, which also featured
Ryan O'Neal.) Meanwhile, Susan (
Teri Hatcher) looks askance at the growing relationship between her daughter, Julie (
Andrea Bowen), and the secretive Zach Young (Cody Kasch). Gabrielle (
Eva Longoria) is shocked by a favor asked by the parents of her teenage paramour, John (
Jesse Metcalfe). And Bree (
Marcia Cross) doesn't seem all that eager to get back together with her estranged husband, Rex (
Steven Culp). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
