We cut back to Walker Produce Company Headquarters. Sarah and Uncle Saul are meeting again with the forensic accountant. He tells them that the info Holly gave them about Rebecca was useless – it didn't help to crack the password. Saul asks the accountant where Holly went. The accountant tells them she left, and she didn't seem too happy. Uncle Saul heads off to find Holly. He better hurry because, my guess, she's rushing home to try and hack into the secret bank account on her own!

Just then Sarah's phone rings. It's the school where stepson Gabe attends. The kid's gotten into a fight and she needs to come pick him up. Sarah sighs and says she's on her way.

Quick cut to Kevin's law office again. Justin is there, begging his lawyer brother to help him get out of being recalled to active military duty.

Kevin: I'm not sure I can, Justin. It's called a stop loss. It's basically a back door draft.
Justin: I know! Get me out of this!
Kevin: You signed a clause when you enlisted saying they could do this.

Justin wants to flee the country, go to Canada or Mexico to flee the draft. Kevin warns him that would be illegal and that the military is going after people that do that.

Things look bleak for poor Justin. Hey, I have a suggestion; just tell the army you're gay! Surprisingly, Kevin doesn't think of that.

Justin: So there's nothing you can do for me?
Kevin: No, we can apply for an exemption but they are mostly only giving them to people who are supporting families.
Justin: So because I'm a bellboy, I have to go to Baghdad!

No. Because you're a straight bellboy you have to go to Baghdad. Come to think of it, it does seem really inequitable.

Justin: I can't watch any more people die. I'm not going back!
Kevin: I'm saying this as your lawyer… not going back is a felony.

Cut to the Walker mansion. Momma Nora and Kitty are in the kitchen. Nora is making what looks like a wheat grass smoothie. Either that, or she should've checked the “use by” date on that yogurt.

Kitty asks why her Mom is so peppy this morning. Nora says she has a dating question. She wants to know if it is inappropriate for her to be going out with contractor Dave. Kitty assures her that everyone in the family would like it if she occupied herself by dating.

Kitty: Just don't sleep with him the first time out.

Cut to Sarah Walker's house. She has brought home her stepson, Gabe. He is sporting a split lip. She wants to know what started the fight with another kid.

Sarah: Gabe, what did he say?
Gabe: It's none of your business! Why do you even want to know?
Sarah: Because you're part of this family, Gabe.
Gabe: I'm not part of anyone's family.

Sarah doesn't know how to respond to this and just leaves him in his attic bedroom.

Cut to Justin Walker's loft apartment. He is frantically searching through his medicine cabinet for something he can get high on. Oxycontin, Vicodin, hell, even NyQuil. But, alas, his pharmaceutical cupboard is bare. Clearly, Justin is freaked out about being called back to active military service. He needs to get blitzed to take his mind off it. Not that will keep the Army from taking him, mind you.

Cut to Holly's Los Feliz bungalow (the former love shack she shared with Bill Walker). Uncle Saul is there and he's trying to mollify Holly about the grilling she received earlier that day.

She's still mad. And hurt. Now all of Saul's earlier attentiveness to her seems suspect. He was just trying to pump her for information about the missing pension fund money.

Holly: I feel like such an idiot. Here you are sniffing around, looking for clues and I was actually beginning to fall for you.
Saul: I've already fallen for you. Believe me when I say this. I'm on your side.

The two kiss. Is it me or is there like zero chemistry between Ron Rifkin and Patricia Wettig? Their make-out session seems pretty awkward.

Thankfully, we are spared more of their limp canoodling. The scene cuts to backstage at Kitty's political news show, Red, White & Blue. Kevin is there telling Kitty about Justin's letter from the Army. Kevin wants Kitty to convince Justin not to go through with his crazy idea to flee to Mexico.

Kitty: And tell him what, Kevin? Tell him to go away to fight in a war where he'll probably die or come back in pieces?

Hmm. This is an interesting dilemma for conservative Kitty. For once, it sort of justifies the show's decision to make Calista Flockhart's character a conservative, pro-war Republican. Gosh, I wonder if she felt this way when it was other people's brothers getting shipped off?

Cut to Los Angeles' Echo Park. It is mid-afternoon and drug dealers are out selling their goods. Justin shows up looking for his old dealer. He finds him.

Drug Dealer: What do you need?
Justin: The usual.

Justin slips him a wad of bills and the dealer gives him a little packet of something. Then Justin asks his dealer about getting a fake passport. Bowl me over with a feather when the dealer says he can get him one. Gosh, this really is a full-service dealer. Drugs, fake passports? What else does he have in stock, I wonder? Is he offering a club card discount on dirty bombs this week?

Cut to later that evening at a romantic outdoor restaurant. Contractor Dave and Momma Nora are on their first official date. Nora is distracted.

Dave: You're missing your husband?
Nora: Yes.

Nora asks about David's ex-wife, but she doesn't give him much opportunity to speak. Instead, she steers the conversation back around to her dead husband. She gets all teary. Some date she's turning out to be! David is understanding though. He lets her ramble on about Bill Walker. I bet he's watched Dr. Phil a few times.
