Brothers & Sisters Recaps: Week 16 (page 7)
by Dennis Ayers

Page 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 - Home

Cut to Kevin's apartment. Chad drops by. Kevin tells him he's glad it's not his mother or his siblings or his half-sister.

Kevin: Can my life get any more complicated?

Talk about self-absorbed. Chad is being outed by the stalkarazzi, threatening his acting career, and you're all verklempt about some half-sister? The Walker clan needs a reality check. It's not all about them.

Chad: Did you even hear what I said?

Chad shows him the latest Skinny Minnie post – it's a countdown to Chad Berry's coming out. Chad can't understand why Dan Silk is still gunning for him. Then he notices Kevin's guilty expression.

Kevin: Oh, no. You called him

Chad: Yes, I did. I thought I could convince him to leave you alone.

Chad is upset at first but he calms down fairly quickly considering Kevin's transgression. I'm not sure I'd let Kevin off the hook so quickly.

Kevin: Where do we go from here?

Chad: I'll tell you where we won't go. We won't go out to the movies, hiking, the gym.

Kevin: I'm all for cutting out the gym.

Yeah. Save yourself the expense of a gym membership. That health club you went to didn't even have any equipment anyway. You can do your toe touches routine on a stretching mat at home.

Cut to Ojai Foods. Holly storms into Sarah's office. She is furious that Sarah told Rebecca about her paternity.

Holly: Do you have any idea what you've done? I was planning on telling her everything. On my timetable. In my way. It was not your place.

Sarah: Oh, you're a piece of work.

Holly: I let you treat me like dirt because I loved and respected your father. But I am done treating you with any measure of civility.

Sarah: Is that a threat?

Holly: You bet your ass it's a threat.

Uncle Saul enters and catches the last of this.

Holly: (to Saul) And you. I trusted you. Don't ever call me again.

Sarah: I'm sorry you feel that way.

Holly: Not sorry enough.

Holly storms out. I'm betting she's off to the parking lot to slash Sarah and Saul's tires.

Cut to the Walker mansion. Nora is in the study reading a self-help book. Sarah asks her what she's reading.

Nora: Seeing with Serenity: How to Cope with What Life Deals You . So far it's just pages and pages of vague platitudes.

In that case, I'm sure it will be a massive bestseller. I mean, look at Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Sarah: Mom, you've been avoiding my calls.

Nora: I didn't know what to say.

Sarah: You seem angrier at me than Tommy and Kevin. Am I wrong? You hold me to a different standard.

Nora: You're right.

Cut to Holly's house. Someone knocks at the door and Holly answers to find Justin.

Holly: I get the feeling you're not here to see me.

No, Holly, he's not. Unless you have a spare eight-ball you'd like to sell. Otherwise, he's there to see Rebecca.

Rebecca comes to the door, and Justin asks her to step outside so they can talk.

Rebecca: If you're expecting tears from me you can forget it. Mostly, I just chew my lip a lot.

(Okay, I added that last bit.)

Justin: I'm not expecting anything from you. I just wanted to meet you.

Rebecca: Well, I'm here. I'm real. You can even touch me.

I sense the weirdest sexual tension between these two. Both attractive, young. If they'd met under other circumstances they might have dated. They start talking about Rebecca's experiences at college and discover that Justin even knows her ex-boyfriend, Carter Espen.

Justin: Okay, I'm officially freaked out. What if we had met? What if we had….

Rebecca: Oh, the Greek tragedy of it all.

The show ends with Rebecca and Justin on a hillside cliff looking out over the twinkling lights of LA. By clear inference, these two are beginning to establish a sibling bond. Either that, or they're gonna start making out. Eww.

And thus ends another episode of Brothers & Sisters.
