It's open house night at Danielle's high school. Andrew is in attendance, and he runs into an ex-client of his. When Orson sees them talking, he asks Andrew who that was. Andrew tells him, and when Bree sees Orson and Andrew talking, she asks Orson what they were talking about. He then tells Bree that after she dumped him off on the side of the road, Andrew has taken up hustling. When Bree finds out who one of Andrew's clients is, he tells the client's wife, Vera, about it. Vera is upset that she told her. She retalliates by telling Bree that Danielle has been sleeping with her history teacher, Mr. Falati. Bree confronts Danielle about this, and then tells Andrew that she feels like a failure as a mother. Andrew comforts her by telling her that his and Danielle's actions are not her fault.
It's an hour before Parker's little league game, and he tells Lynette he doesn't want to play baseball anymore. Lynette doesn't want him to be a quitter, so she forces him to continue playing. Parker is afraid to hit the ball. At the game, he goes against Nicky Abbot, the best pitcher on the opposite team. He misses all 3 hits. Lynette yells at teenagers attending the game who are booing Parker. Parker's self-esteem is extremely low, so Lynette offers Nicky 50 dollars if he makes it easy for Parker to hit the ball. On the 3rd swing, Parker hits it, but it hits Nicky in the head. Nicky is fine, and he gets up, and the 50-dollar bill falls out of his pocket. His mom asks him where he got it, and he tells her. When the coach hears of it, he kicks Parker off the team, and Nicky is kicked off his team. Lynette begs him to put him back on. He says he'll do it as long as she pays for new team hats. Parker's self-esteem is boosted and he wants to continue playing. At the next game, Parker hits the ball and while running the bases, he trips and sprains his leg. Because of this, he must quit the team until the end of the season.
Lynette is continuing to nag Tom about getting a job. Tom assures her he will, but first he has to find out what he wants to do.
