bree insists on having baby ben share their bed, which means no sleep and no sex for a cranky orson. bree explains that she doesn't want to make the same mistakes she made with her first children, which andrew overhears and takes as his cue to move out of the house so bree won't be reminded of her past "mistakes." in an attempt to get andrew to move back home, bree visits him at his new apartment with his favorite home cooked meal. andrew refuses to come home and reveals that his real motive for moving was to start his own life and give his mother the opportunity to begin her new life with orson and benjamin. bree admits that her real fear is parting ways with andrew on bad terms again and is surprised to learn that andrew had already forgiven her for abandoning him two years earlier. even more, andrew thanks his mother for "forcing him to grow up". bree then realizes that she had been oblivious to the fact that her once angry teenage son became a mature and forgiving adult. this conversation implies that the dark chapter in bree and andrews' lives has officially closed. in a final twist of irony, andrew insists that bree use a coaster for her beverage, which nearly moves bree to tears.
