Bree is horrified when she finds a condom in the laundry basket. She accuses Rex of cheating on her again, but he tells her it has to be Andrew's. Bree grudgingly decides it's better to be safe than sorry and puts the condom on top of a pile of neatly folded clothes in Andrew's room. When the topic comes up at the dinner table, Andrew laughs and says it isn't his. It's Danielle's!

She admits she was planning on having sex with John Rowland, and that he broke up with her because she wouldn't sleep with him. Bree's next step is to visit John and tell him to rebuff Danielle as cruelly as possible to make sure she doesn't hold out any hope.

Tom is disappointed when he is passed over for VP at his office and Lynette tells him he should have been more aggressive. When the man who got the promotion instead of him has a heart attack, Tom goes after the job and gets it. Lynette is thrilled for him, until he tells her it will take him out on the road more.

Lynette stops by Tom's new office and while she's there the boss's wife says she was the one who convinced him to promote Tom. So Lynette tells her how much Tom will miss of the kids' lives if he's gone so much. Her little job of sabotage works: Tom's promotion is revoked. When she sees how crushed Tom is, Lynette is remorseful, but she doesn't say anything.

John's roommate, Justin, tells Gabrielle he'll mow her lawn for free, and offers to "take care of all the things John did." She turns him down, but he shows up anyway as their new free gardener, which money-strapped Carlos is thrilled about. Justin demands she sleep with him at least once or he'll tell Carlos about her and John.

Gabrielle goes to John's apartment to tell him about Justin's threat. Only Justin is there and he apologizes for blackmailing her. He says he just wanted to prove to himself that he's not gay, even though he has a "buddy" he's been messing around with for some time now. Gabrielle kisses him goodbye as a test and he realizes he really is gay when he feels nothing.

Carlos and Gabrielle reluctantly realize they're so broke they may have to sell their house and move away from Wisteria Lane.

Zach invites Julie to a pool party, but she says she can't come because her mom has forbidden her to see him.

Susan tells the other women about Mike shooting himself and how Lynette's children found Mrs. Huber's bracelet in his garage. They urge her to call the police and she reluctantly agrees. When Mike comes over to ask her why she's been avoiding him, the police show up and arrest him. A detective questions Susan, and she realizes that the night Martha Huber was murdered was the same night she and Mike first slept together. She's his alibi!

Mike meets with the man footing the bill for his investigation who says he'll use his money to "save Mike's ass."

The detective asks Susan to come down to the police station, where he tells her that an intruder was shot the same night Mike "accidentally" shot himself. Then he shows her Mike's police file: He's been convicted of drug trafficking and manslaughter.

With Susan out, Julie goes over to Zach's pool party, where his creepy behavior finally convinces her there's something wrong with him.

When she gets home, a tearful Susan tells Mike to stay away from her. Discovering that Julie's gone, Susan realizes she must be at Zach's and runs over to find her. Thinking Julie is in the pool making out with Zach, Susan demands the couple surface. It's Justin and Andrew! "I'm not gay!" Andrew insists, even though neither boy is wearing his swim trunks.
