“Brothers & Sisters” Episode 123 Recap: "Matriarchy"Cut to later at the mansion. Nora is confronting Justin about going to go see Wicked with Kevin. Nora: But you hate musicals. You walked out on the Sound of Music when you were five. What’s up? You took Tommy surfing the other day, you took Sarah and the kids to the zoo, and you’ve asked me to go to the museum tomorrow. What are you going to do with Kitty? Take her to the Reagan library?
Oh that’s a good one. Maybe he can donate her to their permanent collection. Nora: I know what you’re doing. Nora accuses him of saying goodbye to everyone. Justin: Mom, I’m going to a place where people die on a daily basis and there’s a very real possibility that I may not come back…. Nora doesn’t want to hear that Justin thinks he could die. She starts choking up. Nora: If you go there believing something is going to happen to you. Then something’s going to happen to you. ![]() Nora: I’m not going to the museum with you. We’ll go when you get back. I won’t say goodbye! Nora breaks down in tears and hugs her son. I’m sorry, I seem to be doing an indordinate amount of dialog quoting here, but it’s a really well-written, gut-wrenching scene and Dave Annable and Sally Field are just great in it. It even brought a tear to my eye, and trust me that’s hard to do without resorting to, say, tit clamps. Cut to the downtown banquet hall that Nora has booked for the engagement party. Kevin is touring the facility and he’s not impressed. The place is a fuchsia eye-sore. Banquet Manager: The Bougainvillea court can hold up to 200 people comfortably. Banquet Manager: Your mother absolutely fell in love with it on our virtual tour. Kevin remarks that he doubts a picture of the carpet was included on that virtual tour. The banquet manager is a little put out by Kevin’s trash-talking and begins to get testy. Just then, Jason McAllister walks in. He thought he was meeting Nora at the banquet hall but finds himself face to face with Justin for the first time since their disastrous blind coffee date back in Episode 19. Jason: I thought I was meeting your mother here, but looks like both sides sent the gay scouts instead. What seems to be the problem? This is the last straw for the banquet manager. He tells Kevin to consider the reservation null and void. Jason: Great, genius. Now what? Oh well, there’s always that cybercafé on Second Life.
