Gabrielle plans a festive 'send-off' neighborhood barbecue for Carlos who is about to go to jail, including a Maserati 'for the driveway', but vomits in it; at George's pharmacy she curses loudly: tested pregnant! Worse, during the party she accidentally discovers her birth control pills were switched by all-too-catholic would-be-father Carlos, yet the baby could well be John's and motherhood is the man-eater's worst nightmare... The bachelor-chemist turns his attention to Bree though, but to circumvent her marital fidelity pretends to be steady with his baffled salesclerk, so he can take Bree instead of uninterested Rex to cultural events and flower shows, but taunts the 'philistine' husband too openly... When Lynette discovers by accident Tom's boss has engaged Annabel Foster, the colleague he only dumped to marry her and moved to Chicago, she's desperate enough to ask even Edie's advice, yet threatening hubby Tom to chaperon them systematically has no effect at all... Since naive courter Zach won't be told off by dad or the Mayer girls themselves -who were warned for Paul by Mike, but who to believe anymore?-, it must be made clear his attentions for Julie aren't even considered romantic anymore, even publicly.
