    • Trivia
      This episode marks the first appearance of NaShawn Kearse as Caleb Applewhite. His predecessor in that role, Page Kennedy, was fired (supposedly for inappropriate conduct, though Kennedy and the producers alleged it was because the character was being taken in a different direction). Scenes featuring Page Kennedy in this episode, were re-shot to include NaShawn Kearse.

      Hector Ramos: Your mail came.

      Gabrielle Solis: You said you were leaving.

      Hector Ramos: No, I said I was giving you space. I did. I was watching you from my car.

      Gabrielle Solis: Look, the guy who broke in stole ice cream. I don't think I'm in any danger. So you can go. I don't need you.

      Hector Ramos: Carlos says you do. Where are you going?

      Gabrielle Solis: Shopping. Not that it's any of your business.

      Hector Ramos: You sure like to shop.

      Gabrielle Solis: Yes, I do.

      Hector Ramos: That's all I've seen you do the past day and a half.

      Gabrielle Solis: Uh-huh.

      Hector Ramos: All that shopping must be making up for something.

      Gabrielle Solis: Excuse me?

      Hector Ramos: You know, Carlos has your number. He says you're one tough cookie. So tough, you don't have to deal with your feelings. He's a perceptive man.

      Gabrielle Solis: He thought I was cheating with two gay guys. Are you sure you want to go with perceptive?

      Hector Ramos: Well, let's see. It's been what, a week since you lost your baby?

      Gabrielle Solis: Yeah, so?

      Hector Ramos: So, I never heard of shopping out the pain.

      Gabrielle Solis: Why is everyone on my back about this? I will deal with my loss my way, okay?
