Bree finds a condom in the hamper and believes that Rex is still cheating; when he reminds her that there is another man in the house, however, she worries Andrew is having sex. Over dinner, Rex and Bree hesitate to confront Andrew, who is completely oblivious to why his parents did what they did. Bree then says that if he impregnates his girlfriend Lisa, he must marry her. Andrew reassures his mother that nothing physical is going on between him and Lisa. Andrew then denies that the condom is his and points the finger at his younger sister, Danielle. When Bree quietly asks Danielle why she has a condom over breakfast the following morning, Danielle tells Bree that she was planning to give up her virginity to John Rowland, which is part of the reason why they broke up. Bree then visits John at his apartment, where she asks him not to accept Danielle's future offer. John understands, seeing as he already has another "friend" he is seeing on occasion. Bree advises John to let her down hard so that she will never talk to him again.
