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

Meanwhile, across town at Holly’s house. Rebecca is back for a visit. How nice of her to stop by and see her mum. She’s giving Holly the rundown on everything that’s happening with the Walker siblings.

Rebecca:…even Sarah and I are being civil to one another. At least she’s not glaring at me any more.

Holly’s eyes are practically glazing over with boredom. Finally she tells Rebecca that she needs to stop being totally immersed in the Walker family. She needs to get out and live a little, because she’s only young once.

Holly: When I was your age I thought that I had all the time in the world. But the truth is you don’t. I don’t want you to look back at this time and have regrets.

I’m thinking Rebecca is going to look back on this time and regret those Ugg boots she’s wearing.

Cut to McAllister’s office. Isaac/Mr. Mumbles/Danny Glover has come to confront McAllister, and find out why he hates him so much. McAllister is tight lipped. More so than usual.

McAllister: Let me make one thing really clear. Around here I run a clean shop.
Mumbles: Ya cans shtan me canoe.

Oh, Mumbles. You said a mouthful.

Cut to the Walker mansion. Saul and Tommy are helping to get ready for the wedding and are busy moving a side table when Nora stops them. She wants to leave the side table where it is but move the couch instead. Poor Saul. Here he is moving furniture, and he might as well just be the furniture. This is another one of those episodes where the guy has practically nothing to do.

Nora mentions she’s filling out the seating chart.

Saul: Please Nora, don’t sit me next to Kevin.

What, does he have cooties or something? It’s such a weirdly inappropriate line. I think the whole point of it is so next week Nora can say something like: “Hey Saul, I’ve noticed some tension between you and Kevin...”

The guys exit, leaving Kitty and Nora alone in the living room. Kitty mentions she has an appointment for a sonogram. Nora volunteers to go with her. She needs her Boniva prescription refilled anyway.

Paige comes traipsing in and flops down on the couch to watch cartoons. When Kitty and Nora ask her where Sarah is, the morose little girl can barely be bothered to motion towards the kitchen.

They head to the kitchen to find Sarah with little Cooper. Coop has brought along an arts and crafts project. A gift for Kitty.What fun! It looks like dried elbow macaroni glued to a coffee can.

Cooper: It’s something to hold your flowers in.
Kitty: Oh, Cooper, I love it.

Oh Please! Mr. Rogers himself would have trouble finding anything nice to say about that macaroni can. Why encourage Cooper? He needs to learn and learn soon that on the hierarchy of gifts, dried elbow macaroni craft projects rank right up there with flaming bags of poo.
