Cut to a short time later outside in the driveway. Kitty sees Warren off in his hybrid car. Scotty storms out of the house, suitcases in hand. He's mad at how Kevin treated him, and Warren has offered him a ride back to LA. Kevin begs Scotty to stay, but Scotty is having none of it.

Am I the only one who thinks Scotty's being rather childish here? He's the one who stuck his nose into Kevin's family life. Perhaps Kevin was a little harsh in his response, but what Kevin does with his sperm is none of Scotty's business. Well, in this case anyway. I adore Scotty, but I wouldn't beg him to stay at this point.

Warren's Prius peals off. Kitty and Kevin, now dateless, are left to have a heart-to-heart over his concerns about donating sperm.

Kevin: I can't believe you of all people don't think this is weird. Kitty: You know, Kev, what Julia and Tommy want is the essence of family values. If I think that and I'm a conservative, where the hell are you coming from?

Yeah, that's what I want to know.

Kevin: You know I don't talk a lot about what it was like for me growing up gay. But it wasn't easy. I said no to Tommy because I don't want to bring a kid into this world that would feel different or ashamed. I don't want him to go through what I did.

Kitty: Whether it's your kid or its Tommy's kid, it's still going to be a Walker.

And if anybody has anything different to say then there's going to be a whole clan of pissed off people coming after them.

Right, Kitty. There's going to be a Walker on the playground every day to defend Kevin's offspring. Has this woman forgotten what it's like to be a kid? Adults are pretty much irrelevant to what happens to kids during their day-to-day lives. It's their peers who do or don't make a kid's life miserable no matter how good the adult's intentions.

Cut to the stables. Tommy and Julia are having their own heart-to-heart conversation. In walks Justin, and Julia excuses herself.

Okay, I'm thinking this is where Tommy should be down on his knees apologizing to Justin for making him feel like dirt earlier. But no, that's not how it plays. Justin is the apologetic one. He wants Tommy to understand him – to understand why he's so screwed up and self-destructive.

Justin tells him about an experience he had as a medic in Afghanistan. He entered a bombed out rebel cave and came across an injured Afghanistan Taliban rebel. Tommy did nothing to help the dying man and now he lives with the guilt. He wants to donate sperm because he “owes a life”

I kid you not. Perhaps Justin doesn't understand he could visit a sperm bank and pay back the life he owes again and again. Oh, wait—they wouldn't want his sperm now, would they? Yet Tommy is supposed to take it unasked?

Cut to Nora and contractor Dave out on the front lawn. She's apologizing for her family. Darn, right!

David: You have nothing to apologize for.
Nora: Oh please. If they're not falling out of trees then they're killing each over sperm.

A quiet moment passes between the two and its clear that they are attracted to one another.

Nora: Am I crazy, or…
David: No, you're not crazy.

Admit it, David, she's a little crazy. Still, Sally Field is pretty cute for a 61 year old woman, so I can buy it when David (Treat Williams) leans into kiss Nora for the first time.

We break for commercials and when we come back it's the next day in the kitchen . Nora and Kitty are packing up the house, and looking around nostalgically

Nora: Goodbye, house. I hope whoever buys it appreciates how special it is.

Norah wants to put Kitty against the kitchen wall and mark off her height, just for old time's sake. But Kitty turns the tables and marks off Norah's height instead. Has she shrunk? I guess we'll find out if Sally Field's Boniva regimen is effective against osteoporosis.

Fade to Monday morning, Walker Produce corporate headquarters. Sarah has brought back the picture of the mystery baby to show to Uncle Saul. Saul looks like he's seen a ghost and Sarah finally deduces that the baby is Holly's kid, Rebecca.

Final scene at the fertility clinic where both Kevin and Justin have just finished donating sperm which they'll mix together in a Dixie cup or something. It's the perfect solution. That way, no one will know for sure who the real biological father is. Not unless the kid turns out to be an uptight lawyer or a drug-addled loser.

Kevin: You know, this whole anonymity thing is a joke. If the kid's well dressed and witty its mine.
Justin: You don't stand a chance. My little dudes have been to war.
Kevin: And stoned for the last ten years.
Tommy: Okay, that's enough sperm talk for the rest of my life.

Tommy, for once, I agree with you.
