Liveblogging "Brothers & Sisters": "Get a Room"

Kitty finds a younger man, Nora tries to wing it with Hawk, and Kevin and Scotty run into unexpected problems on the road to adoption. Join us for the fun at 10 PM EST!

We start with Nora doing a radio ad for "Old People's Sex Pills." She tells the producer that she can't "possibly say these words. They're too cheesy." Or maybe that was Sally Field's inner monologue.

Kitty is relaxing in the local Starbucks knock-off when a familiar looking stranger approaches and strikes up an awkward conversation. Oh, it's Ryan Devlin, best known for Veronica Mars, Cougar Town, and for playing the son in the pilot of William Shatner is a Grumpy Old Man, before being replaced in the series.

He tells Kitty "The past few days you've ordered skinny vanilla latte, and now out of nowhere - whip." Uh-Oh. This attention to detail about a woman he's never actually met means that he either has a sweet, innocent crush, or he'll soon be barking down to her "It puts the lotion on it skin, or else it gets the hose again."

PLEASE let it be the latter.

Kitty provocatively licks the foam from her mouth and responds that she's "trying something new." Forget it, Kitty, that foam thing never works. I tried it repeatedly on the Starbucks barista I was crushing on, to no avail (although with all the practice I got, I'm sure I could make a living in adult films ... snicks starring in Glazed and Confused).

When he mocks her political reading material. Kitty tells him the she's "teaching a seminar," and starts rattling off fascinating facts about the presidents. "Taft got stuck in a bathtub," Warren Harding's wife murdered him," "George W. Bush spent his entire administration trying to find a spot in the Oval Office for his corner chair."

Lest she appear to be too intellectual, Kitty removes her glasses, which is the universal sign for "I may appear to be Diana Prince now, but I'm Wonder Woman in the sack."

He finally reveals his name, which is Seth, and writes his phone number on her coffee cup.

She calls Kevin, who's nervous about the adoption, and nibbling on snacks like a cocaine-fueled squirrel.

Scotty prepares the daily special while Kevin is going down the list of everything they need to do to prepare for the foster adoption. Wait, what? Did I miss an episode? They're now moving forward with this?

An unnamed employee interrupts to ask if Scotty has seen his brown bag with a brownie inside. Kevin pipes up "Oh, I ate it." Scotty and "unnamed employee" both roll their eyes. It seems that the brownie was laced with medicinal marijuana, and it was the last of the stash.

Kevin is aghast that he ate a pot brownie, but he needn't worry. If TV sitcoms have taught me anything, Kevin will start "acting high" (i.e. do exaggeratedly comic things no real high person would ever do), and then it'll be revealed that the brownie he ate was actually not laced with marijuana, and everyone will chuckle over the fact that Kevin acted like a fool for no reason.

Okay, wait a minute. I call B.S. There is no way in hell that Kevin, as anal and meticulous as he is, would just eat a random brownie he finds in a paper bag. C'mon now.
