Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Lynette's father-in-law, Rodney Scavo arrives in town on business and stays with them. However when Lynette catches Rodney fooling around on their couch with another woman, she throws him out on the street. After Tom manages to get things smoothed over he tells Rodney that everyone makes mistakes-- including himself. Susan catches Zach and Julie making out and demands Paul to do something about it. Zach then invites Julie to a school dance which Susan and Paul monitor. After the dance, Paul tells Zach about his background and why he keeps seeing visions from the past. When Zach comes over to apologize to Susan and to bring Julie flowers, he has an outburst which gets him banned from seeing Julie--ever. Rex tries to reconcile with Bree who is not budging and warns George to stay away from Bree. Gabrielle is asked by John's parents to persuade him to go to college and move back home or they will go to the authorities. Gabrielle does as she is told but when John refuses and proposes instead, she must decline since she is still married and in love with Carlos.

[edit] Quotes

Mary Alice: Yes, sooner or later, we must all become responsible adults. No one knows this better than the young.
(John proposed to Gabrielle, but she turned him down)
John: This doesn't make any sense! You love me, I know you love me.
Gabrielle: Love isn't enough. Where would we live? Here with your roommates? The only decoration in the bathroom is a bong.
John: We can get our own place.
Gabrielle: How? You're barely making minimum wage.
John: OK, we'd be poor at first, but we'd be happy.
Gabrielle: I've tried poor but happy. Guess what? Wasn't that happy.

Susan: (chuckles) Listen, I know being dramatic is the birthright of every teenager, but come on...
Zach: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!!?? DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Susan: (harshly) Thank you, Zach. You have just made this really easy for me. You are now forbidden from seeing or talking to my daughter ever again! And if you come within ten feet of her, I will call the police, and I will have you arrested! Now get out!
