Cut to the Nevada highway a short time later. Kevin, Sarah & Tommy had to abandon the BMW and are now stuck in a cramped economy rental car. This road trip has turned into a disaster. I don't know about you, but I'm totally taken by surprise at this turn of events. And I'll be equally shocked if everything somehow turns out all right!

Cut to the Red White & Blue producer's office. Kitty has been called in for a meeting. She thinks it's to ask her to do a special segment: “What Thanksgiving means to Republicans”, but she's actually being called to the mat about the Senator McAllister interview. Amber is also in the producer's office. She has ratted out Kitty. Amber claimed Kitty conducted a softball interview with the Senator in exchange for a political favor. Of course she's right, but damn that conniving little Amber! So quick to throw her alleged mentor under the bus.

Kitty denies everything and asks if they have any proof. Now you'd think this would be the very first thing Kitty's boss would've asked Amber to produce, but he didn't guess. Hmm, this must be why he's management and not an investigative journalist.

There is no proof, so Kitty leaves in a huff and immediately seeks out Warren. First she yells at him for telling Amber about his suspicions, then she finally admits she did ask the Senator for a favor—would he pull some strings to get Justin out of active military service? The Senator refused the offer, but Kitty thought maybe if she went easy on him during the interview he'd go ahead and help Justin anyway.

Kitty: You know what? I don't care if it was wrong. I did it for my brother. I did it for my family. And you know what? I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Time for a little practice here. Give me an H! Give me a Y! Give me a P! Give me an O! And a C! R! I! T! E! What is Kitty? A HYPOCRITE! Go Team!

Way to go, Kitty. You forsook your journalistic integrity, your political principles, and for what? The slim hope that the Senator might help Justin somewhere down the line? You should've just given him a lap dance – that would have been more honorable. And given Rob's sex tape past, more likely to work.

Cut to the road trip. Kevin is gassing up the rental car at a convenience store. The sun is going down and they need a place to stay for the evening. Tommy comes out of the store with bad news. No motels in this town, he announces glumly.

Okay now, where the hell are they? The outskirts of Baghdad ? Some alternate dimension? What mythical part of the US has a car rental agency, a convenience store, an auto repair shop, but no motels and no ATM?

Sarah spots a dive bar across the street and heads toward it.

Kevin: Where are you going?
Sarah: If I have to sleep in a rental car, I'm not going to do it sober.

Cut to interior of roadside bar. The place is swarming with young soldiers in t-shirts and combat fatigues. Either there's a military base nearby or Khakis and camouflage are the big fashion trends this year at the Gap..

Sarah marches in fearlessly, followed by a reluctant Kevin and Tommy.

Kevin: Oh wow. This is straight out of a Few Good Men.
Sarah: (surveying the crowd of handsome soldiers) More than a few.

Sarah is not acting like a respectable, married woman at all. Get her away from the kids and husband Joe, and she turns into a real hellcat floozy. Tommy and Kevin follow Sarah up to the bar where they order beer and bourbon shots. Two very handsome soldiers approach and one asks Sarah if she'd like to play some pool. Tommy gets all protective, but the soldiers seem friendly enough. Besides, I'm guessing Rachel Griffith can handle herself in a barroom brawl.

Sarah: Don't worry Tommy. It's only a game of pool. My virtue will remain intact.

I guess she didn't see what happened to Jodie Foster in The Accused.

Tommy follows Sarah to the pool table, either to act as chaperone, or to pimp for her. That leaves Kevin at the bar with the remaining soldier. He's bald and possibly of mixed race – essentially a way hotter, slightly taller Vin Diesel. The soldier strikes up an amiable conversation with Kevin.

Soldier: Life on the base is pretty much a 24/7 sausage-fest.
Kevin: (delighted) That sounds pretty…(catches himself) horrible.

Oh, Kevin. Methinks you're either going to get yourself gay-bashed or laid.
