Previously on Brothers and Sisters:
Ryan Lafferty (Walker) made his first appearance, but ABC doesn't think you need to know that, because there are once again no previouslies. Lazy network monkeys.

Walker Manse. Nora is going out of town, telling Saul that she's going to tour another facility for research for The Center. Saul thinks she's running off because of Roger, so she has to tell him the truth - that she's going to see Ryan. Saul is obviously skeptical as to what exactly she thinks she can do to make this kid feel better, but she feels like she can't ignore him because he reached out to her. Also, she's curious.
Robert's Office. Kevin is questioning Robert about Kitty's non-reaction to the big Governor news. Apparently, she needed to think. And went to bed. Kevin points out that she is now a ticking time bomb and she will blow up eventually. Like, right now, as Kevin whisper-shouts, "Incoming! Incoming!" and she walks in. She's acting totally fine and cool with everything, in the way that WASPy housewives have been acting for decades.

Justin's Apartment, where he is leaving Rebecca several voicemails, wondering where she is and if she's okay, and reminding her that she sometimes turns her ringer off and she can fix that with the button on the side of her phone. Aw.
Rebecca's still at David's, aka her father's. He's heading off to a gallery, where he's setting up a small show. She sort of pathetically says she'll go with him (she can be dressed and ready in five minutes, which I call bullshit on). He's also giving her a set of keys, and they agree to do take-out for dinner. She continues to not answer her phone.
Nora arrives at a coffee shop or something, where she introduces herself to Ryan, who seems to work there. He seems surprised to see her, but offers to get her a coffee while she waits for him to get off work. That is so Nora, to just show up at this kid's place of work, without calling, and expect him to greet her with open arms. Oh, Nora.

Robert's Office. Kevin is lurking outside Robert's office, like literally peeking his head around the door. Robert finally tells him to get his ass inside, and Kevin tells him that Kitty's interview was sent over and asks if he'd like to comment. Why would he like to comment? Well, apparently, this is her blowing up and she's said some not great things about Robert or the campaign, I guess. Kevin offers him some statements, but Robert would rather he killed the story all together. Uh-oh - looks like the little wifey has stepped out of line.
Back at the coffee shop, Ryan has brought over an apple fritter for Nora, and he's found someone to cover the rest of his shift, so he can come and talk to her. That was pretty nice of him. Nora is talking to Saul on the phone, who thinks she's getting too invested, especially since she's decided to stay the night at a bed and breakfast.

Ryan finally comes over and sits down, apologizing for his rudeness earlier. Nora reassures him that they're all well aware that George is his father, not William, seeing as how Kitty is adopting a baby and all that. She's brought some pictures anyway, and he starts asking questions, like if she knew about his mother. He has time for a long story. You know, he looks sort of like a poor man's Robert Pattinson, only less British, if that makes any sense.
Rebecca has shown up at the gallery, despite her father telling her not to bother. He does ask her for some help, which is nice of him. Her phone rings some more, and she ignores it some more. She thanks him for letting her stay, but he tells her that's not necessary, seeing as how she's his kid and all. He tries to talk to her about some of his photographs, but she goes back to how they don't have a typical father-daughter relationship. He asks about her mom, but Holly doesn't even know she's there, though they've apparently been getting along great. She then tells him that the Walkers are aware that she's not related to them, and that she's in fact dating her former half-brother. He thinks that's as weird as we all do and deems it unexpected. "Unexpected" doesn't seem to do that particular relationship justice, now does it?

Great recap! I think Robert will probably die, and Kitty will be asked to take over his Senators' seat. OR Saul will have a heart attack over hiding stuff from Holly about Tommy. Tommy will probably go away to one of those nice comfy prisons for a while. And I do hope Balthazaar gets his act together and comes back soon.
We didn't learn anything about Ryan other than he's extremely indecisive.
I can't wait for the 2 hour "Movie" event.

Maybe Trish will die during child birth? tommy used to be my favorite character, I'm so disappointed in him...his downfall started with this affair with that annoying girl. Also, I can't believe I sort of feel bad for Holly in this situation. I'm not supposed to like her!

MissCordy if I recall correctly.... David left last season because when Rebecca found out David was really her father, Rebecca wanted to keep pretending she was a Walker. He did it for her. Holly was pissed because Rebecca let Holly think David just took off as usual. As we all know Rebecca decided to come clean about not being a Walker. Hope that makes sense.
