Sarah is drowning her sorrows and I'm distracted by the non-dance music in this scene. I can't tell if it's supposed to be playing at the party or if it's just soundtrack music. Either way, Ethan walks over looking very delicious and suddenly very mature. I guess it's the suit and the absence of his geek glasses (though I *heart* his geek glasses). And this scene is weird because there hasn't been much build-up and I think we're supposed to think he's drunk, but we really don't know his personality enough to tell the difference. Anyway, he's checking in on her, making sure that she's happy and asking if he can help with anything. He's a sweetheart and Sarah needs to get all over that like right now. She calls herself "fat, old and ugly" and that's Ethan's cue to tell her how hot she is. He admits to having a thing for her ever since they met, and goes on and on about how wonderful she is, and she's all, "Oh, stop." He doesn't (good for him) and kisses her. He kisses the hell out of her.
Swank-chicka-bow-wow.
Rebecca is continuing to call/text Justin when Kyle approaches with a martini. He obviously knows his Walkers. Justin finally calls her and bails on the evening, and she is less than graceful about it and actually hangs up on him. We also see Chelsea all slumped over in the background and it kind of made me laugh. Kyle swoops in and tries to compare Rebecca's needs with that of a sponsee, and just ... no. Rebecca, from what we've seen, isn't in danger of harming herself at any time in the immediate future. It is not the same and it just makes these two look selfish and ignorant, which they aren't.
Rodger approaches and asks for a place for Nora to lie down, and Kyle directs him to the rooms that they booked. Kyle and Rebecca decide to have a good time, with or without Justin.
The Lodge Steakhouse and Cigar Club. The Republicans mention that Kevin hasn't eaten very much and that he's been very quiet. Kevin manages to apologize while also building Robert up as a loyal supporter. He then begs off for the rest of dinner, citing the food as too gamey. The Republicans do some thinking.
Honeymoon Suite for Non-Anniversaries. Kyle has walked Rebecca to her door and boldly says that it'd be a shame not to use the lovely room. Wow, that's pretty direct, eh? Rebecca's like, "..... lol?" She says she loves Justin and Kyle argues that he's an idiot. He then gains back a couple points for admitting that Justin is a lucky idiot and he leaves. That was fairly douchey, but since he's so cute and nice most of the time, I'll let it pass for now. But I'm watching him. Rebecca flops down into the pile of roses and that's how she ended up in the elevator the next morning.
Sarah and Ethan are also in one of the rooms, but they are making out. Ethan makes the mistake of saying that he's been dreaming about this since they met, and Sarah grows a conscience. She realizes that she's sort of using him because he said everything she wanted to hear, and that that's probably not the nicest thing to do to someone who has feelings for you. He handles it as well as he can, which is to offer to be her personal life 24/7, and when she turns that down (hopefully just for now!), he tells her that she never has to be sorry because she saved their business. Aw. He's so sweet! They decide to continue celebrating with the mini-bar and then they hug it out, as non-sexily as two sexy people who want to have sex with each other can manage.
So, we won't be having the sex, then?
Rodger and Nora have also found a room and she is wasted. Like, I think this is the most wasted we've ever seen her, which is saying something. She's still not as bad as that one time when Kitty was both drunk and high at Walker Landing, and was telling Kevin a "seekit" and falling out of her chair. Heh, that still cracks me up. They start making out and it looks like one of these three ladies may actually see some action until Rodger notices that she has passed out. And because he's not a Bass-hole, he doesn't see this as a great opportunity and take advantage of her.
