"Brothers & Sisters" Episode 206 Recap: “Two Places”

Scotty: I just spent the last hour deboning quail, and now I’m moving on to chicken so now is not the best time.

Kevin (like me) looks flabbergasted that anyone would make a career out of deboning anything.

Kevin: Okay, fine, I get it. You’re mad about the whole Saul thing, but you know disconnecting your phone and moving is a little extreme even for you
Scotty: This may come as a shock, but what’s happening to me has nothing to do with you.

Scotty explains his tuition was due so he wound up getting evicted. Last night he slept in his car.

Scotty: Turns out being a cooking student and an apprentice chef isn’t a road to financial freedom.

Kevin can’t believe Scotty didn’t call him for help.

Kevin: I’ve got an inflatable mattress – you should come stay with me.

Oh, I hate those things. They are uncomfortable to start with, and they invariably get a slow leak, so you wake up at four in the morning totally deflated with your butt on the floor. The only thing air mattresses are good for is making sure houseguests don’t overstay their welcome. Me, I think Scotty’s better off in the back seat of his Ranchero, but he takes Kevin up on his offer.

Kevin: I have a boyfriend and I’m in love so...
Scotty: And your missionary won’t mind?
Kevin: If he’s going to be looking after poor schoolchildren in Malaysia, the least I can do is shelter a struggling culinary artist.

Cut to the Walker mansion. Justin is in a faux vintage tee popping yet more pills. God, how much medication did he steal from that poor, injured vet back at the VA hospital two episodes ago?

He barely has time to swallow his pills and pocket the bottle before Rebecca and Nora come stomping in with bridal magazines. They are talking about Kitty’s wedding and table centerpiece ideas.

They notice Justin looking groggy and unfocused. Nora asks if he’s all right.

Justin: Didn’t get a lot of sleep. Thank God for Skinemax.
Nora: Oh, that’s nice.

Nora asks him what he thinks of hydrangeas for a table centerpiece, and he takes it as his cue to leave. Apparently, Cinemax is running a Red Shoe Diaries marathon.

Nora: He seems a bit down, doesn’t he?
Rebecca: His life pretty much consists of physical therapy and more physical therapy.

And cable soft porn. Don’t forget that.

Nora: He really needs to have some fun. You don’t happen to have any single, attractive friends do you?

Funny you should ask. Rebecca does have an attractive friend. Lena. And I hear she puts out, too!

The phone rings. It is Kitty. Nora starts to run the hydrangeas or white orchids debate by her, but Kitty tells her there has been a change of plans.

Cut to McAllister’s office. Kitty is holding a meeting with Mr. Mumbles and the rest of the staffers. Mumbles is having it out with Travis over the decision to move up the wedding.

Travis: We lose an opportunity for media coverage. Everybody loves weddings.
Mumbles: Um surrey. Whesher nem again?

I’m assuming Mumbles asked what his name was, because Travis says “Travis.”

Mumbles: Trevish, pipl luck shelerbrity weddins. Pellitical weddins? The lass one that men anythin was Shawls an Diana.
