Tom found out that he has a daughter from a love affair he had before he even met Lynette. The mother (Nora Huntington) wants the child support money that Tom has been owing her for all these years back. Lynette finally agrees to give her a lot of money, as long as that keeps her away from their family. But Nora wants the two families to gather and spends the money on an apartment close to Wisteria Lane, so that gathering can happen. In season three, Nora dies after she was shot in the chest. Before she dies, Nora tells Lynette that Kayla is the only thing she has ever done right in her whole life and that she needs Lynette to take good care of her. Lynette promises her that she will love Kayla like she was her own daughter. In season four, Kayla seems to be closer to Lynette and fits in the perfectly with the rest of the family. Later on in the season, however, she persuades Porter and Preston to set fire to Rick Coletti's rival pizza joint. When Lynette discovers this she takes Kayla to see a therapist. Afterwards, Kayla purposefully tricks one of the twins into jumping off the roof of the house by pretending that she had safely done so herself by using an umbrella as a parachute. Her therapist tells Lynette that she and Kayla should spend more time together, so Lynette takes her shopping. Kayla blackmails her to get what she wants in the store, and she then threatens to hurt Penny, causing Lynette to slap her. Later, Kayla calls her therapist and tells him that Lynette has repeatedly hit her many times before. These accusations bring Child Protective Services to the Scavo home. After hearing that Lynette could possibly have her children taken away from her, Kayla burns herself with a curling iron and claims that Lynette did it to her, leading to Lynette's arrest. Tom informs Kayla that Lynette can no longer be around her, and proceeds to explain that Lynette will stay in the house but Kayla will have to be moved somewhere else. Afraid of being sent away, Kayla confesses everything, and Tom reveals that he had left the phone on and had actually been talking to Kayla's therapist, who had been listening to their conversation the entire time. In the end Kayla is forced to move away and live with her grandparents, but Tom promises to visit her.it is unknown if Kayla will return to Desperate Housewives.
