"Brothers & Sisters" Bonus Recap: The Lost Episode

Cut to the Walker mansion where Kevin, still sporting bushy hair, is checking in on Momma Nora. She assures him she’s keeping busy, but that doesn’t keep her from missing her husband.

Kevin: Well if you ever want to miss him with someone else in the room, just call me.

Ah, the supportive gay son.

Nora: I’m so glad you said that. I’ve been thinking. Maybe I can move in with you?

Kevin looks stricken. Turns out Nora was just kidding.

Cut to Ojai Foods where Saul has called a conference room meeting to talk about continuity at the company.. Speaking of company continuity, what exactly, is the name of this damn business? Throughout last season characters variously refered to it as “Ojai Foods”, “Walker Foods”, and “Walker Produce.” Must be murder on the company’s marketing department.

Anywho. Saul’s conference room pep talk wraps up quickly. Good thing because it felt like a real touchy feely time waster to me and also, I’m sure, to a lot of the “Ojai/Walker Foods/Produce” employees. Afterwards, Tommy buttonholes Saul and accuses him of stealing the pension fund.

Saul is offended and tells Tommy he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Saul: Your father squandered the pension fund on a bad investment and sent us all down the rabbit hole.

Cut to the Red White & Blue makeup room where Kitty is being fussed over by the image consultant, Lila. This character is played by SNL alum Laraine Newman. Gosh, I haven’t seen her since that John Travolta/ Jamie Lee Curtis debacle, Perfect. She’s playing an image consultant? The way they have her dolled up in a bad perm and a biker chick hat, she’s not so much an image consultant as a cautionary tale.

Speaking of cautionary tales, Kitty is in the makeup chair and she’s wearing a bib festooned with American flags. The patriotic theme extends as well to her makeup. Red lipstick, white foundation, and blue eye shadow. Couple that, the bib, and the foil color treatment wrappers in her hair, and Kitty looks like road kill from last year’s July 4^th parade.

Warren enters and gets a look at her ridiculous foil cap.

Warren: Nice hat. I was wondering why I couldn’t get any cell service.

Oh that was funny. Kitty tells him she’s uncomfortable with all the fiddling with her “image.”

Warren: Hey, they know what they’re doing. I used to look like an escaped Berkeley lesbian. Now look at me. I’m sorta gorgeous.

Oh no he didn’t! Picking on Berkeley lesbians? That’s just uncalled for.
