Brothers & Sisters (4.09) "Pregnant Pause" Recap

After a week off for Thanksgiving — not to mention a performance by a certain fellow named Adam Lambert, our beloved Walkers are back. So how did they fare this week? Keep reading to find out!

Rebecca still hasn’t told Justin about the pregnancy, even though he’s on break from school. She’s too busy planning their wedding which is a week from now. Or perhaps Quinn from Gleeisn't the only one who is interested in bad boys named Puck. We should be so lucky!

Meanwhile, somewhere across town, Kevin and Scotty are discussing the mechanics and protocols of sperm donation. Is it acceptable to use the buddy system? Props? What’s provided?

Back at the Walker manse, Nora has failed to lock the bathroom door, resulting in Kitty walking in on her and Simon in the shower the morning after a wild night of aphrodisiac sex. Instead of doing the logical thing, i.e., drinking until the brain cells that saw said tableau are destroyed, Kitty calls her family to share the trauma. Don't you love how these Walkers have no sense of propriety or personal boundaries? Which may mean Kevin needs therapy, as well as a buddy in the donation room. But the writers also give us the Best.Line.Ever.

Sarah: If this is a pity call, you can just go back to work.

Kevin: I’m not at work, I’m waiting for my husband to finish masturbating.

Sarah: Well, sometimes it’s easier that way.

Now that Nora is as fresh as a spring daisy, not to mention dressed, Holly drops by because she needs help paying for the wedding and wants to borrow the money from Nora. Given all the water that's been under that bridge, I found Nora remarkably non-judgmental, even if Holly thinks she is. Eventually, they agree to terms for the loan.

Sitting in her mother's kitchen, a suspicious Sarah googles Simon, and finds out he's had two malpractice suits against him, which isn’t unusual for a doctor. About the time she gets over it, Kevin starts googling Simon. No, that’s not how he was able to finally complete his sperm donation, but it may be how they get rid of Sally Fields’ latest love interest since he’s reached his four episode limit. You know how it goes for non-regular love interests on TV — by the sixth episode everyone treats them like raw oysters left for a week in the back seat of a car in August.
