"Brothers & Sisters" Bonus Recap: The Lost EpisodeCut to that night. 2:00am. Kevin gets a phone call from a manic Nora. What, is she some sort of tweaker or something? She starts babbling a mile a minute about starting a foundation for needy children in Bill Walker’s name. She wants Kevin to get Sarah to “cut a check.” Bounce a check is more likely. Kevin tells her he thinks it sounds like a good idea but can they maybe talk about it in the morning? Nora notices the time and apologizes. She hangs up. She’s so manic that next she’ll probably go re-shingle the roof. Cut to the next day at Kevin’s law office. Sarah is there to visit and she’s looking at all his framed photos. Most of them are ex-boyfriends. Sarah: You know, I forgot about Hank and his exceptional biceps. Whatever happened to him? Speaking of exceptional body parts, we get a long shot here of Sarah. The girl’s got some gorgeous gams on her. Wow.  Oy, it just occurred to me that I’m obsessing on the female form in this recap. First Holly’s bodacious ta tas, now Sarah’s legs? As a self-respecting gay man with self-respecting gay readers, I should be more focused on the guys. Unfortunately, so far other than that scene of Kevin shirtless in bed there’s not a lot of male eye candy in this episode. But I digress. Kevin tells her that ex-boyfriend Hank was only happy when he was “shopping for dishware.” Sarah: You will not be domesticated, will you? What’s wrong with two boys shopping? Kevin cuts her off to talk about Nora’s plans to start a charitable foundation. Sarah gets all pensive and asks him to stall Nora. She can’t cut a check right now. Kevin asks why and she comes clean about the missing pension fund. His advice is to try to fix the problem soon, but if she can’t they need to go to the authorities themselves or risk jail time. Kevin: This is the age of Enron. They lock you up and throw away the key. Unless, like Bill Walker and Ken Lay, you have the good sense to croak first. Cut to Kitty’s maiden voyage on Red White & Blue. She’s all dolled up in a cocktail dress and overly dramatic makeup. Warren sits across from her and seems to be wearing absurdly large wingtips. What, are they like a size 15 or something?  The cameras go live and the moderator throws the first question to Kitty. She looks like a prostitute deer in headlights. Bambi’s mother in a bustier. Across the coffee table from her, in the blue chair, Warren confidently jumps in and fields the question. At first you think he’s being protective of her, but when Kitty finally stammers out something about how ”conservatives” have values worth fighting for, he cuts her off at the knees. Warren: …and this from a woman who dresses like a Park Avenue call girl! Schwing! But really, isn’t that comment giving her ensemble and garish makeup too much credit? More like an industrial Park Avenue call girl. They cut to commercial, giving flustered Kitty a chance to regroup. When they go live again, Kitty goes on the offensive. Kitty: You’re the living distillation of a lecturing liberal, Warren!” Those conservatives can be so alliteratively strident. I suppose next she be calling Peter out for having picked a peck of pickled peppers. The show runs out of time and once the cameras are off, Warren tries to make nice with Kitty. She’s having none of it, accusing him of sandbagging her during the show. Which he did. Warren: Hey, I did you a favor. I got you mad, and that’s when you lit up. Next week show up with your a-game.” Just an aside, but I’m sort of sorry that the Warren Salter character got sidelined by mid-season to make room for Rob Lowe. He left some mighty big shoes to fill. Literally. Cut to the Walker mansion. Justin is at his father’s desk. He is looking at that letter opener Holly wanted. What a stupid keepsake. I’m surprised Bill Walker held on to it. If someone gave me a letter opener I’d be surreptitiously checking the gift bag for a return receipt. I mean, unless you’re a character in an Agatha Christie novel and planning to stab someone in the study, letter openers are pretty much pointless. But I digress. In comes Momma Nora. She sees Justin with the letter opener and says something about the employees at Walker foods all having got together to give the letter to Bill “and how he cherished it.” Nora: Do you want it? I want you guys to have his things. I don’t want them sitting around. Kitty’s taking the car. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING! Kitty is getting the friggin’ luxury sedan and Nora’s trying to foist off a cheap silverplate letter opener to Justin? Oh Justin, this shows just where you rank with Momma Nora. Go ahead and stab her with the darn thing. (Or better yet, use it to slash the tires on Kitty’s new ride.) While Justin recovers from the bitter knowledge that big sister Kitty swooped down and snagged the Mercedes, Nora goes on about how much she loved Bill Walker and what a wonderful husband and father he was.
