First Pics From New Season of "Brothers & Sisters"

(All pics copyright ABC/RICHARD CARTWRIGHT)

ABC just released the first pics from the first episode of the new season of Brothers & Sisters. Here is the episode description for "The Homecoming:"

It's been a year since the Walker family was torn apart by a tragic car accident, and in a very un-Walker like fashion, everyone has been avoiding everyone else. Truths and reality only start to set in when the family is forced to come together for Justin's homecoming party: Nora tries to prepare for the party, but is not acting like the mother she used to be; Sarah is consumed with the Narrow Lake deal; Kevin has a new career as public defense attorney; Saul and Scotty are running their restaurant; and Kitty's life has become a taboo subject for everyone. Time has changed the Walkers, on the fifth-season premiere of "Brothers & Sisters."

Okay, I know what you are thinking — What the hell is going on with Sarah's hair? Is that a wig? Did she lose all of her hair in the accident? Wait, there was an accident?

It's all coming back to me now. We got rid of Robert, right? So it was a happy ending?

Fine. I'll stop being so snarky. Actually that car accident was quite something and I like the show picking up things a year later. It will be interesting to see who has changed and how. As you'll see from the pics, the first episode looks like a pretty Justin-centric show and at least in the pics, we only get one glimpse of Scotty. Life is so unfair. 

Incidentally, I spoke with B&S showrunner David Marshall Grant last week, and will have some deets on what's in store for Kevin and Scotty this season closer to the show's premiere.
