“Brothers & Sisters” Episode 209 Recap: “Holy Matrimony”

Nora: The Democrats do more for jobs and education today.

Mumbles asks her to define what she means by “more,” but before she can answer he gets a cell phone call.

Bad news. Daniel Kohl’s story contradicting McAllister’s Gulf War heroism is going to hit the Drudge Report in the morning. Mumbles wants to call Kitty and Robert to warn them, but Nora convinces him to hold off until tomorrow.

Nora: It’s their wedding night. At least give them that.

Cut to Robert and Kitty. He’s led her, eyes closed, onto his Gulfstream Jet. It’s festooned with flowers and calla lilies. The engines rev up and McAllister, who just can’t wait for the honeymoon to begin, starts lifting up her dress. She gets all prudish and asks what is he doing — the flight attendant might pop in at any moment. He tells her the crew is under strict instructions not to even come into the compartment. No matter what bloodcurdling screams they may hear.

Cut back to Walker Vineyards. Holly is by herself cleaning up the joint. A strange man who looks suspiciously like Ken Olin from thirtysomething (and now executive producer on Brothers & Sisters) wanders in and snoops around. Holly immediately recognizes him.

Holly: David?

Turns out this David guy knew Holly back from her days as an actress. David seems a bit shifty and down on his luck. For her part, Holly seems suspicious about his just showing up.

He picks up a picture of Rebecca and casually asks who she is, but Holly quickly (too quickly) pulls it away from him.

Holly: Why don’t you tell me why you’re really here?

Fade to black.

Uh oh. Looks like David might have arrived on the scene with some dirt on Holly. What if Rebecca is actually his child and not Bill Walker’s? That’s one way to clear the decks for a Justin/Rebecca romance.

I guess we’ll have to wait until January to find out more.
