Storyline

Bree forces Andrew to bring Alex's common mother Melina to dinner, but the future in-laws instantly hate each-other, rivaling for their gay sons' presence at family holidays, and in whose town they'll live. Susan and Lee get so drunk they wake up in bed together. Bob discovers twins Porter and Preston switched places and refuses to risk disbarring for failing to report so by the next court date. So finds out the twins have phone contact and leans on Preston to help save bail, hence the business, by asking his brother back. Carlos intends to accept a feel good job in the community center which helped him while blind. Gaby will stop at nothing to steer him to a more lucrative job with Bradley Scott, however unhappy that lifestyle makes his wife Maria. Edie discovers at night Dave is secretly committed to people on a picture he hides. Written by KGF Vissers
