"Brothers & Sisters" Episode 502 Recap: "Brief Encounter"

Note - Thanks to everyone for joining me for last week's Brothers & Sisters Liveblog. Due to unforeseen circumstances we couldn't liveblog last night's show, but I invite you to join me every Sunday at 10PM EST for the rest of the season. Let's get Walkered up together!

In the meantime, let's take a look at last night's show. Everyone wants to get into Luc's underwear (party), Nora may be a L.I.L.L. (late in life lesbian), and Scotty and Kevin co-star in Matteo: Portrait of a Runaway

We begin with a familiar musical cue. You can always tell what tone the episode will take by the opening music. If it's violins or some other string instrument, then we're in for a "dramatic" episode.

If it's wind instruments or tinkly piano, then it's a "fun" episode. From the opening notes it's obvious that this will be one of those "fun" episodes.

Um ... yay?

Luc, Sarah and Paige are discussing Luc's upcoming underwear launch party ( and i'm sure its not the first time he's caused underwear launches!) Sorry, that was awful. Hmm, but I think from now on I'm going to rate every hot guy I see on a scale of 1 - 10 "underwear launches," and utilize phrases such as "we have ignition!" and "Houston, we have a problem."

Anyway, Paige is excitedly texting all of her friends about the party, which has apparently achieved ""A-List status." And I finally figured out why Paige looks so damn familiar. It's been gnawing at me since the premiere last week, but I finally realized where I've seen her before

Not only are Paige's friends clamoring for tickets, but Sarah has old friends crawling out of the woodwork, as well as one gay brother who insists he needs an extra ticket to show up his old law school rival Chaz.

Sarah is adamant that she can't get any more invites, but Kevin proves how ruthless he can be by dragging sweet, adorable Scotty into his plan and having him call Luc directly. Unfortunately, Luc refuses Scotty. Houston, we have a problem!

Kitty is suspicious because Nora was up at the crack of dawn and didn't tell anyone where she was going. (because a 63 year-old woman needs to answer to her perpetually pajama-clad daughter). When Nora breezes in and out, talking about "hitting the gym" in the morning, and lugging a giant metal pot out of the house, Kitty's meddlesome meter hits 11.

It turns out that Nora had to go the flower market early that morning, and has been keeping her florist job a secret from the rest of the family. She drops off the giant metal pot at the restaurant and notices a strange sound coming from the cash register are. She grabs a knife and heads to the front of the restaurant, preparing to go all Ginsu Gidget.

She runs into Matteo, who was in the middle of trying to rob the place.

You won't see this side effect on a Boniva commercial
