We start right off this week, with Alec bringing Kitty some ice cream at the park. Kitty hilariously scolds him for continually bringing her food, because she might get fat. Oh, I don't think anyone really believes that. She makes a half-hearted comment that she might not have been there, but he reminds her that she's there everyday. She then asks how he knew what her favorite ice cream was, and I swear I thought he was going to say that he called up Nora and asked. But apparently, he just read her book, and in between all of the political commentary and family gossip, I guess she rhapsodized about ice cream. He does have the decency to ask after Robert, who Kitty says is much better. And then there is awkward silence, because it's never cool to talk about your girlfriend's husband.
Walker Manse. Julia is interrupting Nora while she's gardening, and correctly guesses that she's been keeping herself busy so as not to think about Le Douche. Speaking of, I didn't know you could say "douche" on television until I heard Hurley and Miles throwing it around on Lost last week. Also, I'm thrilled every time I see Julia because I'm so terrified that no Tommy will eventually mean no Julia. Anyway!
Nora starts going on and on about Zinnias, until Julia's all, "Girl, I totally gots some gossip." She spoke to Le Douche, who is fine (unfortunately), and let him know that it was legally safe for him to return. Note that she clarified "legally" safe, so hopefully she'll give him a good beating when he gets home, which should be some time this week. Nora is thrilled. Julia ... not so much. Nora swears that she will give them space to work all this out - she won't even call. She does ask if Julia will give him another chance. Julia says she will, but her face look noncommittal.
Sibling Scene! Besides whole-family scenes, these are my favorite. Sarah and Kevin are talking about a grey pantsuit, while walking down the street. It's not clear at first who was trying on said suit, until Kevin says, "Oh, come on. I could put a tie on it and wear it." So, Sarah was trying on the ugly grey suit, which she deems "recession appropriate." Neither Kevin nor I know what that means. A recession is no excuse to lose your style, Sarah.
Kevin spots a saucy pink dress in shop window, deems is "gorgeous," and says she'd be on fire if she'd just shut up and put it on. She can't get past the hot-pink of it all. She also reminds him that she's going back to work at Ojai, not the imaginary brothel he's thinking of. His response? It's spring and she's looking for a fella. Aren't we all? She actually strokes her neck and starts talking about how it's been so long she's been "touched." She even gets all high-pitched about it, and Kevin starts making faces. Heh.
Nora calls Sarah to let her know about Le Douche, but Justin walks into the Walker kitchen and starts making noises about all the dirt everywhere. While Sarah repeatedly tries to get her mother's attention back, she's asking Justin to clean it up. Justin is not really feeling that. Kevin is getting anxious and Sarah rolls her eyes and fully goes, "Justin's there: szick, szunk, grr (or "mutters" as the closed-captioning puts it)." She accompanies the noises with some impressive talking motions with her hands and a scrunched up face. It's hard to describe but it's fairly hilarious.
Nora instructs them all to welcome home with open arms, as Justin deems this development "awesome." He has clearly not been watching the same show that we are. Sarah warns her to not start planning the menu for his welcome back dinner quite yet, because he and Julia need time. Kevin starts talking, so Sarah hold sup the phone for him, and he tells Nora that they all need time. He is clearly well aware that this is anything but "awesome." Nora promises to not pounce and says she's on her way to the nursery anyway to pick up "bags and bags of fertilizer."
Sarah: Fertilizer?
Kevin: Fertilizer?!
Nora: Yes. Fertilizer!
Justin's Face: Whaaaaaat?
