Kevin may have to keep his marriage to Scotty a secret.

That actually won't be hard. The family and the 5 people who attended the ceremony will be easy to control.

I only hope that when the dad turns up alive and he kidnaps Ameera they can make it to NY in time...Oh wait...I'm confusing my poorly written drama shows.

...isn't keeping it a secret a rather, um, ridiculous plot development? Besides, wasn't Kevin's proposal to Scotty initially so that he could list him as his domestic partner for Scotty to have insurance benefits? And how does being a corporate lawyer make one qualified to be a communications director for a Republican politician (who is actually more liberal than most Democrats)?

It's an enjoyable show, but logical storytelling is not one of its virtues!

I thought that Kevin already was a partner in his law firm. I'd have to dig back through the episodes to where that was mentioned but I do recall it having been said at some point. And it would explain his having a spiffy corner two-window office in an LA skyscraper.

Kevin's also been out out work basically forever (he had a picture of ex in his office for example) so I can't see this becoming an issue now. Especially since several people from his firm were at the "wedding" (I still can't stop putting the quotes around that word to describe that tacky house party).

Becoming Robert's Communications Director would also be extremely bizarre. For starters I can't imagine it paying anywhere near what someone like Kevin can make as an attorney. Secondly unless something big is changing Robert is a Republican and Kevin is not. Thirdly, a Republican senator's office can't be any friendlier for an openly-gay, married guy than Kevin's law firm.

This would require them to do some major writing gymnastics and I'm not sure that I like the sound of it. While I sympathize with "gays face discrimination" storylines I don't think that they should be employed by default when you have gay characters, especially if it requires doing retcon work to make it fit.

Now I'm worried that B&S might be falling prey to the malaise that some really good shows do after a couple good seasons. Sometimes after an explosive entry onto the scene (Heroes, Lost, etc.) the writing quality abruptly plummets and the show loses quality fast. I sure hope that's not the case here.

So, I take it Kitty is officially a housewife of Pasadena (or whereever Robert's chateau is), but Kevin as Robert's CD? I thought they were at odds with each other regarding Kevin's relationship with the gay McAllister?

What's next? Saul goes to work as Robert's finance/budget/economics advisor? Or simply retires (I can't imagine he actually has to work) and maybe he goest to run the vineyard part time?

...Even though it's out of order of the episode spoilers, the first thing I thought of was that Kevin would have to keep the marriage secret if he TAKES the job with the Senator. That would make more sense than at the law firm. Maybe, he does it to retain a good insurance policy or something. I'm not very clear how American medical stuff works. But I agree, it makes no sense, really. A communications director for a party he hates?

I knew Scotty's parents would be back. They were just too interesting not to. And I hope they give Saul a good story line. That actor has such a great attitude, he deserves a juicy story.

I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.

The "secret" thing is being blown out of proportion.  His firm knows he's gay and that he's civil union-ed. 

Rather, in episode 3, Kevin is pressured by a senior partner to keep his being gay (and married to a man, natch) on the down-low while they're wooing a prospective (conservative) VIP client. 

Kevin is deeply discomforted by the charade and resents being put in that position by his boss.  But since he's on partner track,he probably sucks it up thinking the means will justify the end (i.e, that he will soon be made partner).  But then he finds out in episode 5 that he's been passed over for partner.  And he notes that typically you make partner "or you're out."  Given these circumstances, I predict Kevin will leave his firm.

ETA:  It's not clear that Kevin is passed over because he's gay.  It's a possibility, but there's no concrete info establishing that as of yet. 

Finally, I'd add that at the start of the episode, Kevin is extremely unmoved about Robert's job offer.  Kitty calls and asks him if he's thought about it, and he tells her he's not interested in being a Republican senator's communications director and that he's already "taken" (by his firm).  This, of course, occurs before he finds out he doesn't make partner.

If the show went back into production in April (I am assuming that means filming) that means there will be no reference to the Supreme Court ruling, which will be strange.

I am putting the last few episodes down to the strike and will see what happens, a few of my fav shows went haywire because of it.

I will say the whole Rebecca thing was a let down and it is weird to see Justin and Rebecca kiss. Although I did enjoy the scene at the movies when Justin gets really scared of Rebecca touching him.

Is there any mention of them searching for the other kid?
