“Brothers & Sisters” Episode 212 Recap: "Compromises"

Cut to Oh, Hi! Foods. Graham is working late and gets Sarah’s call. He tells her he’ll have the divorce papers sent over.

Cut to Milo Peterman’s apartment where Uncle Saul is getting to know Evan better. Veronica Mars’ dad really needs to wrestle Uncle Saul out of that tweed jacket and ravish him. Unfortunately, tonight I don’t think they’re going past the wine drinking stage.

Cut to Kitty’s hotel sick room. She’s still trying to get some sleep and the two McAllister kids are acting bratty. Sofia seed goes to the closet and fingers Kitty’s wardrobe.

Sofia: Mom has a dress just like this. Except it’s bigger on top.

Good one, Bad Seed!

Little Jack goes to the bathroom and manages to pull the toilet fixture out of the wall. Or at least the connector hose. The bathroom starts flooding, and Kitty yells at the kids in exasperation.

Cut back to Cinnamon Jack’s where Graham Finch shows up with Sarah’s divorce papers. Sarah invites him to join the bohemian table and, with great flourish, signs the papers.

Bohemian #2: Do it girl. Be strong.
Bohemian #3: Believe girl.

Kevin slips away and before you know it he’s up on the karaoke stage singing “What’s New Pussycat” to the shock and horror of all Cinnamon Jack’s patrons. And believe you me, as a group, these people have seen a lot of horror.

Cut to commercials and then we return to Kevin, who is now butchering Willie Nelson’s “You were Always on My Mind.”

Bohemian #2: Girls, I never thought I’d say this. I don’t hate him.

OMG did #2 just refer to his bohemian posse as “girls?” Who is writing this crap? These are just terrible caricatures of gay men. What are we going to hear next, "Two snaps up?" "Talk to the hand?" "Oh Mary?" I should clarify that I really don't care at all that these characters are effeminate. What bothers the hell out of me is that they're such a cliché.
