"Brothers & Sisters" Recap Episode 215: "Moral Hazard"

"Thanks a lot for this, Brothers & Sisters"

We the immediately cut to a Robert/Kitty montage I could have done without, as the two of them claw at each other, tearing off their clothes and arguing over where to do the deed. Five seconds later, it's done (typical!), and as the two of them are lying in bed, the doorbell rings. Robert frantically jumps up and gets dressed, but Kitty has to remain perfectly still with her legs raised in the air to allow Robert's swimmers to "marinate". Hey, don't blame me...that's an exact quote.

And they say gay people do weird things in bed! 

"Um...I have to go, something just came up!"

We switch over to Justin and Rebecca reading from Flowers in the Attic (no Cory, don't eat the powdered doughnuts!). Oh wait, Justin is just fooling around with her iPod (he wishes), and Rebecca mentions that things haven't been the same between the two of them ever since she got the paternity results back. Justin tries to brush it off, and she suggests that the two of them should maybe go to dinner and see a movie. Justin ratchets up the awkward scale and fumbles for a reason why they can't:

Justin: I...I...have a date!
Rebecca: Oh, that's awesome, who is she?
Justin: um...George....Glass...George Glass!

Okay, that's what I wish he said, but that would make four main gay characters on this show, and unless I accidentally hit the remote and found a Queer as Folk re-run, that won't be happening. What he actually says is:

Justin: It's no one..I mean, someone obviously..a chick...a hot chick.. but I mean, she's smart, too...and cool and we talk a lot...I mean..there's a lot of conversation.
Rebecca: That's great!

You know, I think Justin could have said "George Glass", and she'd still be just as clueless. Thankfully, Holly comes in and diffuses the situation, and Justin slinks out.

"NOT WITHOUT MY COMPANY!"

Cut to Sarah and Nora in the kitchen, and Sarah is taking the fall for the business collapse. Nora is livid, and admonishes Sarah for taking such a risk with the family business. She asks if she consulted Tommy about how to save the farm er, business. Sarah says it wouldn't help, and it would be an "exercise in humiliation". Nora is adamant that Sarah speak to Tommy about using his vineyard to help out, and tells her, in no uncertain terms, that she "no longer has a say in it". It's all very "Drink the juice, Shelby!".

"I may have to move Luke further up my Top Ten list"

Kevin is late for work, but has time to still feel guilty about his "merger" offer with Scotty, and in a moment of weakness, makes promises no rational human being would ever make. He swears he'll changed the lightbulbs in the apartment to "eco-friendly" bulbs, will no longer blast the A.C., and will henceforth use canvas shopping bags. Scotty is amused, but then assures Kevin that he doesn't have to try so hard. He wasn't wild about the way Kevin psuedo-proposed to him, but he's happy with the way things are, and they don't have to rush anything.
