Previously on Brothers and Sisters: Apparently, nothing too important, given that ABC lets us just jump right into the episode.
Justin and Rebecca are hot and heavy, making with the moaning and grinding. His cell vibrates, and when they ignore that, his land line rings. Do twenty-somethings even use land lines any more? I know all of my friends just use their cell phones, but ok, I'll go with it. Of course, it's Chelsea and when she starts to leave a message, Rebecca sighs exasperatedly and rolls out of bed, while Justin quickly picks up the phone. While Rebecca puts on her clothes, Justin and Chelsea decide to talk after their AA meeting. What was the point of calling then? Ugh, I hate her already.
Justin hangs up and is shocked (shocked!) that Rebecca is no longer in the mood. Besides, wasn't Chelsea supposed to have another sponsor by now? Justin says she's in the process of getting one, but Rebecca thinks she's too attached and dependant on him and is "into him." Justin says he's doing really well now, as evidenced by his awesome girlfriend. Um, Justin, that doesn't necessarily mean you're awesome. Just FYI. Anyway, she asks if Chelsea even knows he has a girlfriend, and Justin FINALLY clues into the fact that Rebecca might be jealous. She does crawl back and kiss him before she leaves (twice!) and Justin asks her to pick him up after his meeting.
Also? Justin seems to be sleeping on a pull-out couch, which ... gross.
Walker Manse. Paige has made a family tree, only instead of construction paper and markers like us oldies are used to, she did it on the computer. In fact, she's made a whole video for Kitty's baby shower. Y'all, she's ten. I didn't even own a computer until I was 14. I'm only 22 and I'm already getting all, "Back in my time, we had to use those damn Word Processors ..."
Nora wants to play all those silly games that people play at showers, but Sarah claims Kitty wants it simple and chic. Paige then announces that she got an IM from Julia (an IM!), wondering why Tommy isn't invited. (Why am I using so many parentheses and exclamation points?!) Nora says it's because only girls get invited, which you know is Paige's cue to wonder why Kevin, Scotty and Saul are coming. After a couple seconds, she gets it. Nora then tries to kick them out, because Rodger is coming over to "discuss plans." Uh-huh. Sarah asks if she slept with him, and Nora's impish grin confirms that. Sarah then asks if she took her clothes off this time, and I have to pause because I'm not sure if this is something that happened before, like with Danny Glover and I'm not remembering, or if this happened off-screen with Rodger. Either way, it's kind of a weird statement and I'm trying not to think about Nora and Rodger and SEX too much, so I'll just let it go. Someone calls, but hangs up when Nora answers. Sarah and Paige get the hell out of there, before they see anything they're not supposed to.
Kitty is at her alma mater, discussing her book with the Dean, I suppose. She gets freaked out when she sees her dorm from the window, but calms down enough to hear the Dean offer her a job. Turns out they're starting a broadcast journalism program, and would like her to run it. However, the board wants whoever is hired to hit the ground running, so does she have any prior commitments she should warn them about? You know, like anything in the near future that might be taking up a lot of her time and attention? She shakes her head spastically and is all, "No! No, no, no babies here!"
Kevin and Saul are eating out, while Kevin yells that Kitty is having a BABY, in case anyone missed it, and he simply has to go to the shower. Saul is offended by the concept of E-vite, but I tune him out because Scotty just showed up with more food, and look scrumptious in his Cook Apron. Aw, they're eating at his restaurant! Anyway, Saul is actually upset about the three gay guys getting invited, while the straight men in the family were not. Kevin says (sarcastically?) that they're gay and are therefore supposed to like these things, but Saul scolds him and says he did not come out of the closet to be a cliché. Hear, hear!
