Cut to a restaurant where Nora and Uncle Saul are having dinner. Nora is telling him how worried she is about Tommy and Sarah's relationship. This winery business with Holly is tearing them apart. Saul tells her she's worrying too much—the siblings have a very strong bond. Suddenly, Norah shifts gears.

Nora: I think maybe I was wrong about her.

Saul: About who?

Nora: Holly.

Saul: What do you mean?

Nora: You're seeing her. Tommy is starting a company with her. As much as I hate to admit it – maybe William was a good judge of character.

Saul: Well, your instincts are admirable but you don't have to put aside your feelings for any of us.

Nora: I'm not saying I want to be the woman's best friend. I'm just saying I've been so busy blaming her I don't think I've ever seen her for who she is.

Saul: So what are you proposing?

Nora: The truth of the matter is, Holly is a part of our family now. I think I should embrace that. The past is behind us. We all have to move on.

Saul looks stricken with guilt, and Nora picks up on it.

Nora: Saul, what is it?

Saul: The past. It's not behind us.

Nora: You have to tell me.

Saul: William and Holly had a daughter. Her name is Rebecca. She's 20 years old. She's here in LA. I'm so sorry Nora. I'm so sorry. No one wanted to upset you.

Nora: No one? Who else knows?

Saul tells her that Sara, Tommy and Kevin also knew. But Justin and Kitty are still in the dark. Justin's cluelessness is understandable. I mean, he's just out of rehab so that makes sense. But Kitty? Is it me or does the woman seems perennially out of the loop?

Nora jumps up from the table and races off to find Justin and Kitty. If anyone is going to burst their bubble it's gonna be her.

Cut to the Walker mansion. Nora has just finished telling Kitty and Justin the juicy bad news.

Justin: What are we supposed to say? Oh wow, we have a sister now?

Kitty: So what, Dad made Holly a beneficiary of the land because of Rebecca? Did he know that he was her father?

Nora: I don't know what he knew.

Justin: Why should I be so shocked? This whole family revolves around lying.

And drinking. Don't forget the drinking, Justin. Brief aside to say this is not such a big deal. So you have a half-sister. Big whoop.

Sarah, Joe, Paige and Cooper arrive. Joe kisses Nora, and then Nora gives Sarah the stink eye.

Cut to the den. Nora is reading Sarah the riot act.

Nora: Please help me to understand why you kept me in the dark.

Sarah: Saul shouldn't have said anything

Nora: You do not get to blame Saul for this. At least he had enough faith in me to tell me the truth. Were you just never going to tell me?

Nora: I can just see Tommy spearheading this whole idea. He's so like his father.

Sarah: No. This was my idea.

Just then the doorbell rings and we find Senator McAllister on the stoop, all ready for the planned double date. You can tell this is going to be a crappy night. If I were McAllister I'd see about a quick junket to Baghdad--or at least check if there wasn't an appropriations bill that needed filibustering.

Cut to Kevin's apartment. He calls Dan Silk, proprietor of gossip website, Skinny Minnie. Kevin tries to strong arm the guy into cease and desisting.

Kevin: FYI, if you're gonna make a living tarnishing people's reputations you may want to get an unlisted number.

Dan Silk: Hey man. What can I say? Inquiring minds want to know.

Kevin: Mr. Berry is contemplating filing a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, libel, intention infliction of emotional distress. Should I go on?

Dan Silk: But you're not denying Berry's gay.

Kevin: Listen to me. If you don't stop targeting my client it'll be your great great grandchildren paying out the legal bills. Do I make myself clear?

Dan Silk: You made your point.

Kevin hangs up and immediately gets another call from his Mom. We aren't privy to her side of the conversation, but clearly she is mad at him for not telling her about Rebecca. Either that or he forgot to replenish the condom jar back at the mansion.
