Cut to a short time later. Kitty is absolutely livid.

McAllister: Kitty, hear me out. I just felt terrible that you went through all this because my staff made assumptions about us.
Kitty: So you hijacked my date.
McAllister: I didn't trust Elise to find anybody good enough for you, and rather than have you sit through some awkward meal with a complete stranger and me at home with my laptop and takeout Thai, I hijacked your date. I thought you'd find it charming.
Kitty: Look, I can't date you.

Is it me, or does the Senator seem almost relieved at that? They agree to have a platonic working dinner.

Cut to another restaurant across town. This one is Japanese and Nora is at the bar sipping sake and waiting for her date. In walks Laurence McGill. (You might remember him as “Mickey” – Lisa Kudrow's gay assistant on The Comeback.)

The actor was brilliant on The Comeback. So good that I can't imagine him as anything but a charming old queen. So right away I'm thinking – they can't seriously have cast him as a heterosexual “date” for Sally Field?

No, from the way his character, Laurence, fawns over Nora's earrings and tells her about his glamorous work decorating storefront windows, its pretty clear that Laurence is homosexual. Only he never quite says it. Finally, Nora just comes out and asks.

Laurence: Yes, I am. Are you disappointed?
Nora: No, of course not. But why date women?
Laurence: Because I love women. I love their companionship, their friendship. I just want someone to go to museums, parties, take dancing. Does that sound pathetic?

Well, kinda. You don't need to pretend to be heterosexual and try to trick unsuspecting women into thinking your museum and dancing outings are “dates.” That's the pathetic part about it.

Cut to the LA Staples Center. Chad and Kevin are heading for the parking lot after a Lakers game. Chad asks if Kevin is still down with hanging out. Kevin suggests a bar but Chad wants to skip a crowded scene.

Chad: Let's take a drive up Mulholland. Hop in bro'. It'll be fun. I promise.

It better be fun. Poor Kevin's had to put up with being called “'bro” all night.

Cut to the outside of an LA night club. Sarah and Joe are wearing age-inappropriate rocker getups and standing in line to get in along with hundreds of teenagers. Sarah glances at her watch in frustration. It's already 10:30 and they promised the sitter they'd be home by midnight.

Just then Sarah's cell phone rings. It's the sitter – youngest son Cooper has been throwing up and is running a temperature. Sarah and Joe decide to call it a night.

Cut to Tommy's house. He's in bed with insatiable wife Julia. She wants to have another go but Tommy was hoping to “take the night off.”

Julia is incensed.

Tommy: Look I'm not some sexbot. Even if I was sixteen I couldn't keep up with you. All I want is some sleep.

Oh, you'll get some sleep Tommy, because Julia banishes you to the living room couch. I guess it's either put out or get out.
