"Brothers & Sisters" Episode 208 Recap: “Something New”

Either Nora was listening in at his bedroom door, or that Gabby Kleiner has a very big mouth. Or both.

Justin: Oh, you heard that.
Kevin: I have two first time sex soundtracks. One with a girl and one with a guy….

No one in the room wants to hear about Kevin’s first times, which is a shame because me, I’m definitely interested.

Enter McAllister who kisses Kitty and apologizes for being late.

Nora asks him what song he lost his virginity to. McAllister takes the impertinent question in stride.

McAliister: “Endless Love.”

Figures. More “ewws” all around, one of which is now coming from me.

McAllister: Bad news. I spoke to Jason, and he can’t come to the wedding.
Kevin: You spoke to Jason?

McAllister immediately realizes his faux pas and tries to backpedal.

McAllister: Yeah, only briefly. And the other day we got completely cut off.
Kevin: The other day? I haven’t spoken to him in weeks and he’s called you twice?
McAllister: He was going to be my best man.
Kevin: Oh, well the next time you two chat, maybe you could tell him that his committed monogamous, yet highly sought after boyfriend says ‘hi.’

Ooh snap. Dead silence in the room. McAllister quickly changes the subject. He mentions that Kitty has them scheduled for dance lessons, at which point Nora loudly exclaims she’s “got it.”

Kitty: Got what?
Nora: “Pretty Woman!”
Kitty: No. Thanks Mom, but that will make me come off as a little conceited.
Nora: No. No. I mean that was my first time song. I can’t believe I remembered.
Tommy: Mom, we don’t need to picture you and Dad.
Nora: Who said anything about your Dad?

This gets a big reaction from the Walker kids who all thought Nora was a virgin before meeting their father.

Yeah right, like Gidget and the Flying Nun didn’t sleep around a bit back in the day.

Nora: It was the sixties and this guy I knew in high school, Stan Harris. He got drafted and went off to Canada.

I’m assuming she means he was drafted for the Vietnam War and not, say, to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Nora: It was in the back seat of his Dad’s Cutlass.

Justin, Tommy, et. al. begin to get the dry heaves. They don’t want to hear any more.

Nora: He was tall and I was short….

So, what, he rested a beer can on your head? Otherwise I fail to see the relevance.

The kids all disperse. Nora really knows how to clear a room.

Cut to Kevin’s apartment. He walks in to find Scotty upside down doing yoga.

Kevin: That doesn’t look safe.
Scotty: It lowers you blood pressure.
Kevin: So does a glass of wine and you’re less likely to break your neck.
