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

Kitty: Wait a minute Mom, Sarah told me you were gonna give me a gushy speech that would make me cry. What is this that I’m getting?
Nora: Maybe back then I was giving the warm and wonderful marriage speech. I’m wiser now and I have some things to say to you. I’m not gonna lie.
Kitty: Please lie. Please lie. I would prefer you to lie. I don’t need you to give me cold feet.

Nora tries to warn Kitty about how she’s in danger of losing her own identity by marrying Robert. Kitty simply plugs her ears, goes “la la la,” and runs out of the room.

Cut to the foyer where Kitty, now determined to avoid her mother at all costs, gets a cell phone call from Isaac (Danny Glover). Or as I like to call him: “Mr. Mumbles.”

He’s in his car on a rainy highway when he places this call to Kitty. It’s never exactly easy to understand what Mumbles is saying, and here the sound of rain hitting his windshield isn’t helping one bit. From what I can decipher, “hisherd rhuemers” about “allesh dish crept in seeds” regarding McAllister’s Gulf War heroism. So he’s on his way to LA to help Kitty.

Isaac: Conshitter it my wetting jiff.

Oh Mumbles, great to have you back!

Cut to the next day at the vineyard. We get a shot of the wedding cake as it wheels by. Tommy and Kevin are in their tuxes and sharing a glass of wine with Scotty. Tommy admits to being thrilled with all the free publicity the wedding is generating for Walker Landing.

Tommy: So, um, you guys back together?
Kevin: We're in the process of becoming a “we” depending on what your definition of what a “we” is.
Scotty: He’s such a romantic, isn’t he?

Justin scampers up with Lena in tow. Tommy looks very put out, and Lena refuses to meet his eye. Things get even more uncomfortable when Julia walks up in her brown bridesmaid’s dress. Seriously. Brown. I know brides never want to be upstaged by their bridesmaids, but Kitty must be very insecure because she arranged to have them outfitted in baby poo colored dresses.
