Senator Ranch. Kevin and Robert are sharing a night cap and basking in the news that the Republicans are ditching Code and are now Team McCallister. Kevin talks a little about his Daddy Issues and how those men reminded him of the worst aspects of his childhood and his father. They have a little bromance moment before realizing that they now have to tell Kitty, who will of course know that they've both been lying, and who will of course be very pissed. I hope she's mostly angry at Robert, seeing as how he forced Kevin into that fairly impossible situation.
We're back from commercials and back where we started - in the elevator the morning after the party. Justin is in the lobby, mainly freaking out about where Rebecca's been all night, but also concerned that he hasn't been able to get in touch with Sarah and Nora either. What, did all of their cell phones die or something? Otherwise, I don't see why he couldn't get in touch with them and had to come investigate. Anyway, Rebecca admits that she was with Kyle, getting a collective "Whaaaa?" from everyone. She clarifies that he did not spend the night, and that she was actually alone the entire night in the honeymoon suite. Justin looks confused, because she never told him about that, and Sarah whispers that it's their anniversary. Justin gets very wide-eyed and Rebecca has to shush him and assure him that it wasn't really. That doesn't sound as funny as it was, because it was mostly in Dave Annable's facial expressions.
I have no idea what is happening right now.
Nora interjects that she was with Rodger, and now everyone makes collective "EW!" faces and Justin's like, "Um, TMI, I didn't ask you!" She also has to admit that there was no sex for her and Sarah gets goaded into admitting that she spent the night with Ethan, but also didn't have sex. Rebecca and Justin have an argument about the importance of this event compared to a sponsee, and Rebecca pulls the whole "I needed you" stuff again. Justin rightly points out that actually, no, she doesn't need him, seeing as how her party was a huge success and she has a great job. Rebecca saves her argument a little by specifying that when he's not there, nothing matters as much, which, OK, but it's still not comparable to a sponsee in trouble. Anyway, they get a little silly with the "I really do need you" and "It's nice to hear it every once in a while" and then they're kissing and making their way back up to the honeymoon suite.
Sarah's House, where she is having a talk with Paige about why she says no sometimes and that her decisions need to be respected. She also acknowledges that Paige feels like a baby in her clothes, so she did go back and get the slutty dress for her. I almost got really mad about how that totally missed the point, but then she pulls out a cute capped-sleeve jacket and some leggings for her to wear with it. Aw, that was actually a nice compromise. Paige still gets to wear the dress without looking like a baby hooker. Paige seems happy enough with his and they hug. And you know, if Paige had even been a little bit more understanding and less awful, this moment would have been much more enjoyable. As it is, I'm still annoyed with her and won't care if she doesn't show up for another few episodes again.
Walker Manor. Rodger comes over under the pretense of bringing over some new budget estimates, but really, his feelings are just hurt because she snuck out on him this morning. She admits that she's nervous around him, but he knows how it feels to struggle to stay relevant. She then says that she wishes he'd kissed her thirty years ago, which is kind of easy to say now with her husband long dead and her children gone and all that, but OK. He asks how she feels about it now, and she kisses him. She kisses the hell out of him.
This is how you do a Vulcan Neck Pinch.
In three weeks (repeats already?!), it's Kitty's Baby Shower! But Rodger and Nora are having sex all over the place, which will cause some drama. I just hope Scotty's in the episode. Is that too much to ask?
