She told Lynette Scavo, who was busy watering her lawn. And she told her husband Tom, who was busy playing a computer game. He then emailed his friend Carlos, who was busy plotting strategy with his divorce lawyer. And Carlos called his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Gabrielle, who was busy doing the same with hers. Yes, word of Mike's miraculous recovery spread quickly throughout Wisteria Lane and stopped cold everyone's busy, busy life. Everyone, that is, except Susan Mayer, who was busy doing something she would soon wish she hadn't.
