***Mild Spoiler Alert***

The second episode of Brothers & Sisters airing this Sunday has Nora (Sally Field), Kitty (Calista Flockhart) and Kevin (Matthew Rhys) on a Walker family road trip to pick up brother Justin.

Me, I love it when they take these road trips as Kevin always finds a way to have a good time. Remember that nice young GI Kevin met when they took that drive up to Nevada? This latest trip causes some serious strain on Kitty's relationship with the Senator though. Somehow the Walkers managed to make the news again and overshadow the Senator's campaign:

McAllister: You called Abraham Lincoln a homosexual!
Kitty: Well technically that was Kevin. But what would you do if he were? Would you dismiss his whole entire presidency?
McAllister: That's not the point.... As my communications director can you mind telling me how long its going to be until we can go back to talking about the issues instead of your family?

Uhm, this being Brothers & Sisters, he bettter not hold his breath. We've got the full preview clip from ABC after the break

A year after the death of patriarch Bill Walker and three weeks since hearing from Justin in Iraq, the Walker family struggles to find cheer in celebrating Kitty's birthday.

And frankly, Kitty's pouffy sleeves aren't doing much to brighten anyone's mood.
