When Carlos invites Andrew on a camping trip, Bree and Gabrielle fear the worst and follow them . Finding Carlos with a bloody towel and a dirty shovel, Bree jumps to conclusions and blurts out what Andrew did, just as her son enters the cabin . Carlos is outraged at Andrew and Bree for hiding this, trying to force Andrew to drink in his mother's memory . Carlos leaves the cabin and the trio track him down to his mother's grave . When Bree tries to take responsibility for Andrew's condition, he tells her it's time he finally stood up for his own mistakes . He and Carlos talk and Carlos is able to forgive him for a teenage mistake (although he does blame Bree for hiding it all this time). </P> <P> Andrew returns home and surprises Bree by revealing he's engaged to a woman named Mary Beth . When she learns the woman is an heiress, Bree believes Andrew is just marrying her for her money . She arranges an "engagement party" with several of Andrew's gay friends . Mary Beth reveals that she knows Andrew is gay but has been unlucky in love so is willing to be with him . Bree encourages her to find a man to truly love her, however, and she breaks up with Andrew . He's upset as he had lost his job and has massive debt but Bree convinces him to stay with her and let her help him get back on his feet . </P> <P> Andrew is partially based on writer Marc Cherry himself, who copied much of Bree's dialogue from his own mother's reaction when he came out to her . Andrew can be selfish and manipulative, and regularly uses other people to get what he wants, for example, persuading his boyfriend Justin to hit him so he can claim Bree is abusing him . He has also committed a range of crimes, from being expelled from school for smoking marijuana, to running over Mamá Solis while drunk . After Bree hushed up the accident for him, he then refused to feel bad, reasoning "She's an old lady! I have my whole life ahead of me!" Marc Cherry has referred to him as being sociopathic . In Season 3, however, Andrew seems to have matured after spending eight months living on the streets . </P>
