"Mooom! Oh, God, you will never believe what he's gone and done now. He's remarrying his first wife and he's taking the kids on a one-month honeymoon to - wait for it - Europe."
"Oh, honey, I stopped watching those trashy soap operas in 1982."
"Joe! My trashy soap opera. The one that is MY life."
And, seriously, Nora. I know you're all distracted and whatnot and the show is going for a cheap laugh, but that was ridiculous. No wonder your kids can't stand you half the time. Nora starts babbling some nonsense that is clearly lifted right out of a self-help book, and Sarah bitches that she feels like a pit stop on Joe's road to eternal happiness with First Wife. Nora keeps quoting stupid shit and Sarah's finally all, "Who are you?"
Nora snaps out of it and Sarah laments the fact that Joe can suddenly afford a one-month vacay in Europe, thanks to his washer and dryer jingle. Justin has wandered in at this point (with a "Yo" at Sarah and a nice kiss for Nora) and he's like, "OMG. I looove that song!" And then, he fully sings the whole thing: "I'm not washin' and dryin', so stop screamin' and cryin'. Start spinnin' and grinnin' with Twiiiiirrrllllll." And he does this shoulder shimmy to complete the hilarity.
Sarah's all, "Fine! If you love him so much, why don't you buy his album for your girlfriend - oh wait. She dumped your sorry ass!" That shuts him right up. He says that's not funny. In fact, that hurts him. Sarah just drinks her coffee and Nora has to yell at them to stop being mean to each other. Sarah says she has to go to work, where they are planning a "unity party." Nora tries to back out, and Sarah explains that this is important and is about solidifying the transition (I guess of Sarah coming back?) but Nora doesn't feel compelled to pretend that everything is fine when Tommy is missing. So, I guess since one of her children is gone, she's going to neglect the others? That doesn't make sense. Sarah and Justin say they ill be disappointed if she doesn't go, but she just sort of shrugs it off and walks away. That was a bit out of character, I think.
Ojai. Rebecca is avoiding Ryan, who calls her on it, asking if everything is okay. She hasn't been the same since their dinner, where he showed his fangs for the first time. He admits that he probably said some things he shouldn't have said, and she flat out calls him on voting with her mom to get back at the Walkers. He does apologize, but by using Ojai and William as an excuse. She lets him off the hook anyway, telling him that she also acted out when she went through this. He's curious, but she chooses not to tell him about making out with Sarah's husband, and honestly, I don't think anyone wants to relive that. He asks he to go to the Unity Party with him, and she agrees, lying to him that Justin won't have a problem with it.
Kitty is talking to someone on the phone, whispering about how she'll be there and no, Robert hasn't left yet. Generally sounding uber suspicious when Robert walks in. Kitty starts to babble about how that was Kevin, telling her about Sarah's party, and Robert tells her that she can stop because she already told him she wasn't seeing Alec anymore, so it's fine. She gives him a gift for going back to work (a framed picture of Evan for his desk) and it's uncomfortable and awkward.
