Jackson finally spends the night at Susan's because M.J. is away on a sleepover. When he goes out to get the morning paper dressed only in his robe, he runs into Mike, who insists on getting to know the man who's sleeping with his ex-wife. If he doesn't approve, Mike threatens to alter his custody agreement with Susan. Things look great when Mike takes a shine to Jackson but Susan is horrified when she realizes that they talked about what she likes in bed and forbids Jackson to hang out with Mike again. She's afraid that Mike will poison Jackson's attitude towards her, giving how ugly their divorce got, but he assures her he's not holding any grudges, so she relents and lets them be friends.

Orson objects when Bree is billed as "Mrs. Van de Kamp" on her new book, instead of as "Mrs. Hodge." He's horirbly upset when she says there's "no Mr. Van de Kamp" during a radio interview but doesn't happen to mention that there's a Mr. Hodge. She offers to make it up to him by cooking a pot roast but completely forgets about it when an interview runs late. He insists she cook him one, even though it's after midnight, and she complies, crying.

Lynette decides the only way to talk to moody teen Porter is via a networking site called Silverfizz, so she signs up and invents an alter ego, Sarah J. The two are soon chatting avidly about poetry, but things take an unexpected turn when Porter develops a crush on what he thinks is a 16-year-old girl. The jig is up when she writes him a "Dear John" note and accidentally signs it "Love, Mom." She tells him she misses the times when they used to talk and he insists he wasn't talking to her online, but to Sarah.

Carlos takes a job as a masseur at the country club, so Bree feels it's inappropriate for him and Gabrielle to attend a party she's catering for the country club set. Gabby doesn't want to miss the party season, so she shows up anyway and is horrified when they're kicked out for not being on the guest list. She's devastated at "losing everything" but Carlos tells her he's happier than his rich clients are and wishes she would feel the same.

Dave Williams tries to be the most resourceful neighbor Wisteria Lane has ever seen, but it might all be for naught because Edie insists on moving after Karen insulted her.

Toby mysteriously turns up after Karen makes the required apology, prompting Karen to do some research on Dave.
