“Brothers & Sisters” Episode 115 Recap: "Love is Difficult"

Greetings Brothers & Sisters fans. This is our recap for the fifteenth aired episode, entitled: “Love is Difficult.” We are in the home stretch now. ABC ordered 22 episodes of the show for this season, but the unaired original pilot counts as one, as does an early episode that the network decided to shelve. So, by my count, we only have five original episodes left after this week.

Let's get started, shall we?

The show opens on Sarah and Joe in bed. They are in the midst of not-so-passionate lovemaking. It is so desultory in fact that Joe can't bring himself to release. Maybe he's thinking about baseball. Although that never works for me. (I always wind up thinking about Billy Bean.) But I digress. Joe sighs and rolls off of Sarah.

Sarah: But Joe, you didn't…. Did you?

Joe: No. It's fine. Really.

Oh Joe, you should've faked it. Something tells me she's faked it with you before.

Cut to the next day at the therapist's office. Joe and Sarah's couple's counselor is none other than Joel Grey. I notice the actor has aged significantly, but he still retains the same androgynous quality that he had in Cabaret. Oh, wait a minute, maybe it's not Joel Grey after all. Maybe it's his, daughter Jennifer “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Grey, with yet another nose job. It's hard to tell.

Sarah: Something's been happening in bed.

Uh, I guess technically, nothing's been happening in bed. Hence the couples' counseling.

Joe: Lately I haven't been able to “let go.” I mean when I'm about to, you know, let go, something uh blocks it.

Sarah: Do you think maybe you're thinking about someone else?

Sarah is convinced Joe has a thing for a woman named Vanessa. (Vanessa's daughter has a weekly play date with Paige.) Joe denies it, but Sarah is unconvinced. Just then the therapist says their time is up. Their time is up? What, they waited until the last two minutes of the session to tell the counselor Joe can't climax? You know, that's the sort of significant disclosure I might start off a counseling session with. I'm just saying. The therapist makes another session for Thursday at 4:00. He must be making a mint off these two.

Cut to Senator McAllister's Los Angeles field office. Kitty is trying to arrange an interview for the Senator with Bruce Newman, a reporter from the San Jose Mercury News. McAllister isn't keen on the idea.

McAllister: Newman hates me. In his last editorial he said I wasn't as smart as Hillary Clinton, but I was prettier. Schedule it over the phone. Maybe he'll hear my ideas better if he's not getting lost in my blue eyes.

It seems like McAllister is only half joking there. Mighty full of himself if you ask me. But I digress.

McAllister and Kitty head into his office and behind closed doors he asks her to stop calling him “Senator” all the time. Maybe he'd prefer “Ole' Blue Eyes”? Kitty tells him she needs to maintain the formality to re-establish her professional credibility around the office. Uh, I think that ship may have sailed, Kitty.

McAllister: Kitty, look around. Nobody cares!

Kitty: Really? Well why is everybody looking at me like I'm the biggest slattern of the Pacific Rim?

Oh, Kitty. Where to begin? And slattern? Suddenly, I'm watching BBC miniseries with slatterns and bollocks.

McAllister: This is the field office of the junior senator from California. Not the lunch room at Malibu High.

Oh, would that it were. That would make for some interesting television.

McAllister: Around here we're legislating. Governing. We're “Making a Better America!”

Kitty: Oh God, you sound like a bumper sticker.

McAllister: Really? Because that's one of the slogans we're working on for the presidential campaign.

Interesting. Kitty is supposed to be the Senator's communications director and he doesn't even include her on his sloganeering committee? Is it just me, or does Kitty seem hopelessly out of the loop?

McAllister: “We're Making a Better America. What do you think?”

Kitty: I think it's sub-moronic.

McAllister: Really? Because Noreen ran a field poll on it and it scored in the low eighties.

Kitty: Well, America is sometimes wrong.

McAllister: I think the Democrats are already using that one.

Touché! Who says Republicans don't have a sense of humor? Kitty turns and heads for the door.

Kitty: I better leave. If we stay in here any longer people will think we're going at it like weasels.

Hmm. I wasn't aware that weasels were renowned for their lovemaking. Rabbits maybe. But weasels? I had a boyfriend once who had a pet weasel. The thing had a really musky smell that stunk up his whole apartment. At least, I think it was the weasel. Or wait, maybe the guy I knew had a ferret. I can't remember. Weasels, ferrets. Either way, they're sort of a turn off.

Cut to a board meeting of Ojai Foods. Things are just wrapping up. Apparently Holly's winery proposal was voted down by the board. The only person that voted with her was Tommy.

Holly: Thanks for voting with your gut, Tommy.

I guess when they went around asking for “Ayes” or “Nays” he belched.

Holly leaves and Sarah lectures her brother about not voting with her.

Sarah: You seem to forget that I know what I'm doing. That's why I'm here.

Yes, but by implication aren't you saying that Tommy doesn't know what he's doing? Clearly this rankles him. Maybe he should buy a weasel and sic it on her.

We flash back to Tommy's memory of a scene a few years ago. Bill Walker is announcing to Ojai Foods employees that his eldest daughter Sarah, graduate of Wharton Business School, has accepted a temporary position as Ojai Foods company president. Off to the side we see Tommy clapping tepidly. Obviously, he wanted the job—and he's been working for the company since high school.

Cut back to present day at the Walker mansion. Kevin is helping Nora go through some old boxes from the attic. Nora has been thinking about taking art classes and has pulled out some of her old paintings. She wants Kevin to look at her old work and give her an honest opinion.

Kevin: Why is my opinion about your artistic talent relevant?

Nora: Because Kevin, you have a certain something that your siblings lack. An aesthetic.

Kevin: Which means, “I'm gay.”

Pretty much. But that's not always a sure sign of good taste. I mean Nora, have you looked at the tie Kevin is wearing? He may be adorable, but I wouldn't count on his “aesthetic.”

Nora holds up an old watercolor she did back in her twenties. It looks like a used birdcage liner. Nora can tell from Kevin's stunned expression that maybe “art” is not where her true talents lie.

Nora: It's bad. All right. I knew it. I just feel like I have so much to say.

Nora sets her ghastly painting aside, begins digging through another box, and finds a folder which she starts looking through. Meanwhile, Kevin's cell phone rings. It's his current love interest, the closeted soap star, Chad.

Chad: Kevin, I need to talk to you. I broke up with Michele. Will you please meet me?

Kevin: North Lake Coffee, Figueroa and 6th. Half an hour.

Ooh, Kevin's all brusque and butch. The problem is, as anyone who has ever lived in LA can tell you, it's impossible to get anywhere in LA in a “half an hour.” Chad is going to be fashionably late.

Kevin hangs up and Nora, still engrossed in her folder, catches his attention.

Nora: Listen to this. It was a short story I was writing and then abandoned right before your father and I got married.

Kevin: Short stories? Painting? Who knew you were so creative.

Nora: Just listen. “She drove up the coast road crying. Deep down she knew that love was a lie. She had sold herself so she wouldn't grow old alone. A lie that would cost her everything.”

Kevin: Wow Mom. That's heavy.

Nora: I never finished it. I guess I got too scared.

Sometimes, Nora, fear is healthy. Me, I think I liked your painting better.

Cut to the downtown coffee shop where Chad and Kevin are meeting.

Chad: I can't stop thinking about you.

Kevin: That may be, but I can't do this whole push and pull thing. It's so retrograde. And I'm sorry; I'm not slinking back into some closet for you. Politically it's…

Chad: Forget closets. Forget politics. I was really happy waking up next to you. I don't know what it is.

My guess? It's probably just Kevin's Sleep Number mattress, but Kevin just chalks it up to Chad being an actor. Chad assures him that he's not that good an actor. Kevin can't argue with that point. They agree to try going on a real date.

Cut to the Senator's office. Kitty walks into staffer Noreen's office and asks for a copy of the new polling data. Noreen looks nervous.

Noreen: Which poll are you talking about?

Kitty clarifies—she wants the polling data on the new campaign slogans. In my fevered imagination here's what I think it looks like:

Select your choice from the following slogans:

We're making a Better America

We're making a Bitter America

Vote for Ole' Blue Eyes – he's prettier than Hillary

I'm so nothing like an actual Republican, it's hilarious

But I digress. Kitty clearly picks up on the fact that there may be other polling data to which she has not been privy. Kudos to her for finally recognizing how out of the loop she is! She tells Noreen to cc: her with the results of any future polls.

Suddenly another staffer, Gary, wanders up with his head buried in a folder. He doesn't notice that Kitty is standing there.

Gary: These polling numbers are giving me heartburn.

Noreen would kick him under the table only there doesn't seem to be a table. She just shoots him a glance to shut up, but it's too late. Kitty has overheard.

Kitty: What are those numbers?

Gary and Noreen have nothing to say so Kitty grabs the polling data out of Gary's hand. It turns out to be a poll asking the public their opinion on Kitty Walker! And the public response to her seems to be less than favorable. It seems they liked her better on Ally McBeal. Oh, wait—those are ABC's polling numbers.

Cut to later at an outdoor Pancake Breakfast. It's a photo op for the Senator. It is also, apparently, an attempt to make Kitty seem all warm and fuzzy for popular consumption. She should take lessons from Barbara Bush. That woman's tongue could cut glass, but everybody thought she was just a cuddly grandmother.

Afterwards, Kitty grills the Senator about the poll they conducted on her. She's upset, and wants to know if the poll was his idea. He blames it on Noreen

McAllister: It was a misguided attempt by a well-meaning staffer.

Yeah, right. I think we're going to find out somewhere down the road that the poll was McAllister's idea. But for now Kitty is convinced that Noreen was at fault. McAllister offers her a ride but Kitty tells him she's going to ride with Gary. As they head for the car Gary lets slip that her public approval rating is in the low to mid-thirties. When it comes to the public they don't like you, Kitty. They really, really don't like you.

Cut to Tommy's office at Ojai Foods. Tommy has called Uncle Saul in to ask him if what Holly said last week was true: Did Bill Walker really want to buy the winery so he could run it? Saul tells him that he doesn't believe that Holly would lie about something like that.

Saul: But look Tommy, you have to move on.

Tommy: No. If my Dad died before he had the chance to believe in me, in my abilities, I have to know.

Saul: Why would you even doubt that?

Oh, let's see, because he called in older sister Sarah as a pinch hitter for the president position and left poor Tommy working out on the loading dock?

We cut to another of Tommy's flashbacks. In it we see Sarah, recently installed as Ojai Foods President lording it over poor Tommy. In walks father Bill Walker who lets it slip that Sarah is staying on permanently as President. Before, Tommy thought it was just an interim position.

Bill: Tommy, you listen to your sister now. She knows her stuff.

Tommy: I know, Dad

Listen to your sister? That's what you say when she is thirteen and you're ten and your parents are going out to dinner. Bill might as well have neutered Tommy then and there.

Bill Walker leaves. Tommy looks like he's just been sucker-punched. With Sarah permanently installed it looks like he's never going to get to run the show.

Tommy: Look, I've spent twelve years learning this business. In a matter of weeks you've turned me into a junior partner!

Sarah tells him if he's going to be mad at anyone its Papa Bill. She only came on board because their father wanted her to. Way to get things off on the right foot, Sarah!

Cut back to the present day. We are at Sarah's house and she has invited Vanessa over for an afternoon adult “play date”. I guess she wants to find out what Joe sees in Vanessa. The woman is telling Sarah all about what it's like to be a single mom. (Maybe Sarah is taking notes just in case things don't work out with Joe.)

Speaking of Joe, just then he arrives home. When he sees Vanessa and Sarah having coffee together he seems taken aback.

Vanessa: Sarah invited me for a grown up play date.

Sounds kinky to me. But Joe is having none of it. He beats a hasty retreat to go check on the children playing upstairs.

Cut immediately to the therapist's office the next day. Joe is bitching and moaning about Sarah's play date with Vanessa.

Joe: It felt like I was being sidelined. Like you were co-opting my friend and spying on me.

Sarah: No! I just wanted to get to know her. To see what….

Joe: This woman, I have no interest in her.

The therapist suggests that maybe Sarah is projecting onto Joe what she has learned about her father's infidelity.

Joe: I won't pay for William's crimes. Don't begrudge me a little adult company.

Sarah: Oh, I'm not enough company?

Well, no, not acting this way. You're sort of a dreary, broken record Sarah. I'd want to hang out with Vanessa too. That fiery Latina looks fun to me.

Sarah: You're looking for something. I'm not enough for you.

Joe: Am I enough for you? Honestly. Am I enough?

Brief aside here to mention that even though I'm a little bored by the Sarah/Joe domestic discord storyline, I think it's a pretty realistic situation and, while I've never been a huge fan of househusband Joe, I do have some sympathy for him.

Joe: God, this is just hell coming here. This is just…hell.

Obviously, when he talks about “hell” he's not just talking about the therapy sessions. He seems to be summing up their marriage.

Cut to the outdoor patio of Café Pinot, which is a French restaurant in downtown LA. Sarah and Nora are having lunch and Sarah is confiding in her Mom the problems at home. She also tells Nora about a guy named Noah – someone she had a strong flirtation with at her previous job. (We were introduced to Noah briefly in the second episode of Brothers & Sisters – Sarah had lunch with him to get his legal advice on how to handle her Dad's embezzlement.)

Sarah: But I don't think our problems are about Noah.

Nora: Tell him, Sarah. Tell Joe everything.

Oh, that's awful advice. Is Nora trying to break up her daughter's marriage?

Cut to the doctor's office. Julia and Tommy are there for an ultrasound. Tommy is wildly gesticulating at various shadows on the monitor. They all look like penises to him. Turns out these murky appendages are feet. Four of them. They are having twins. Okay, remember how Julia conceived? Tommy is sterile so they went to a fertility clinic and mixed Justin and Kevin's sperm in a Dixie cup back in episode six. My guess is, somewhere down the line we'll find out one of the kids is Justin's and one is Kevin's.

Cut to the Walker Mansion. Kitty and McAllister are just back from dinner and are in the foyer arguing about that stupid Kitty poll again. Kitty can't seem to get over it. She's furious at Noreen for doing the poll in the first place and wondering why the Senator hasn't fired Noreen yet.

Well, duh! Wake up Kitty. He's the one that ordered the poll. McAllister can't seem to get Kitty off the subject so he makes to leave. He opens the front door and finds Nora and Justin lurking on the stoop. Apparently, they overheard the argument and didn't want to intrude.

McAllister leaves but not before depositing a tin foil swan of take-home food on the table. Somebody better move that quick or it's going to leave a mark.

Cut to a cemetery the next day. Tommy is carrying on a rhetorical conversation with what looks like a spray painted piece of Styrofoam. Oh wait, that's supposed to be William Walker's headstone! The thing looks like it might blow over in a stiff wind.

Tommy carries on an absurd tearful, soliloquy.

Tommy: Oh Dad. You left so many plans unfinished. Unfinished…

This is a really terrible, clichéd scene. I love Balthazar Getty but he doesn't have the acting chops to pull off something as laughable as talking to a Styrofoam tombstone. I'm not sure any actor would.

Cut to yet another of Tommy's flashbacks. (Anything to get us away from the stupid cemetery scene). In this flashback, Tommy has gone up to see his Dad at the Ojai ranch. They are outside yelling at each other. Tommy is wondering why William brought in Sarah to run the company and effectively left him on the bench.

William: Tommy, I have plans for you.

Tommy: That's your mantra isn't it? Well what are they? Tell me.

William : Nothing solid yet. You just gotta be patient and when the time comes …..

Suddenly, someone yells out to William from inside the ranch. It sounds like Holly's voice.

Holly: (OS) William? Where'd you go? I'm opening another bottle.

Tommy looks shocked but doesn't comment. Very interesting. So Tommy knew his father was cheating on Nora and never said anything about it. Too bad this isn't Dynasty or Dallas. Tommy could've used this knowledge to completely take over Ojai Foods. And then someone could have shot him! Okay, bad idea.

Cut to the present. We are at the Walker Mansion. Kitty and Justin are having non-alcoholic beers in the kitchen. She's confiding in him about the poll. Justin tells her to stop bitching.

Kitty: I liked you so much better when you were stupid.

Just then, Nora walks in. She's started a creative writing class and has been working on that short story of hers again. She wants to read a passage from it to Kitty and Justin.

Nora: All right here we go. “As she drove up the coast road she considered her options. There was always drugs or running away or taking on a new identity in one of those towns up the coast. Except it would have to very far up the coast because Dora was so well known on that coast.”

Kitty and Justin (in unison): Dora?!

I'm with you guys. The character's name makes the short story sound like thinly veiled autobiography. Which leaves me wondering: what exactly is “Dora” known for up and down the coast?

Cut to a restaurant. Kevin and Chad are on their date. Kevin pulls out a gift for Chad. It's a copy of Rainer Maria Rilke's “Leters to a Young Poet.”

Kevin: Have you read it?

Chad: It's only my due north, Kevin.

Oh, please!!!! Due north?! I find it hard to believe that Chad even has a due north, much less even heard of Rainer Maria Rilke. I mean, when we first met him he was saying “bro” all the time and referring to his tennis shoes as “kicks” Sorry, I'm just not buying this.

But wait, it gets even more laughable because right there at the table Chad starts reciting a Rilke passage from “memory” -- only I could swear it looks like Jason Lewis is reading from a cue card just to the left of the camera. His eyes are perceptibly darting back and forth as if reading from a teleprompter.

Here's the quote he “recites”:

Chad : “Love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being, that is the most difficult test that has been entrusted to us. The work for which all other work is merely preparation.”

Oh, what a bunch of pretentious hooey. I feel like throwing my remote at the television screen.

Kevin: Wow. And do you believe that?

Chad: That love is difficult? I've never been good at it. I mean look at me and you. Is it easy for you?

Kevin: I basically screw it up. I either become wildly interested, or chronically and hugely unavailable. Like you, for instance.

Chad: Kevin, you really have no idea how available I am.

Yeah, Kevin, you should check out Chad's profile on Manhunt. Trust him, he's available!

Chad: Whatever journey I've been on. I think at age thirty-four I've finally, maybe, found out who I want to be and where I want to go. And who I want to go there with. Reichen Lemkuhl!

Err. Okay, I added that last bit about Reichen. Chad didn't really say that.

Cut to later at Kevin's apartment. His phone rings. It's Chad's ex-girlfriend Michele.

Brief aside, but Michele is played by Lexy Olin, the daughter of show producer Ken Olin and actress Patricia Wettig (Holly). She's pretty good. I'm sorry we're probably not going to see much more of this character.

Kevin asks Michele why she called. She says to warn him about Chad.

Michele: He's done this before. It's his thing. He's gonna get real close to you and then he's gonna find some girl.. Like me…and you're never going to speak to him again. Ever.

Kevin: He hurt you didn't he?

Michele: No. I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about.

So she knew all along, eh? Well, if she couldn't lure Kevin away with Scotty, I guess she deserves to get written off the show.

Cut to yet another therapy session. Sarah has just spilled the beans about having an unconsummated crush on Noah. (We always come in on the tail end of things on this show, don't we?) Joe turns to the therapist with a frantic, pained expression.

Joe: Why the hell can't you help us? You sit there doing nothing. We're drowning!

Okay brief aside to say I'm really feeling Joe's pain. The actor who plays him is very effective in this episode. The bad news is, just as I'm warming up to the character, his exit from the show seems imminent. You get the unmistakable feeling that Joe and Sarah are headed for divorce.

Cut to Holly's office at Ojai Foods. Tommy is meeting with her. She tells him again about how William Walker had wanted to buy the winery so that he could run it.

Holly: But I already told you all this.

Tommy: Yeah, but now I believe you.

Cut to Senator McAllister's office. Kitty arrives to find a bouquet of flowers on her desk. Attached to it is an envelope. Kitty grabs the envelope.

Kitty: What's this?

McAllister: That's the first poll they ever did when I ran for Congress years ago.

He points out that his polling numbers were as bad as or worse than Kitty's recent poll results.

McAllister: See? I was twice as aloof as you. I totally kicked your ass in aloof. They called me callow, a lefty, a lightweight, a right-wing hawk, a “hair candidate”! America doesn't know what it wants, Kitty. They don't even know me yet. That's why I hired you to cut through the crap and tell everyone what I stand for.

He goes in for a languid kiss and Kitty melts in his arms. Someone should get him some paper towels so he can wipe off his wingtips.

McAllister: And trust me. You will never, ever, be a liability.

Kitty: I hope not because I really really like doing that.

Cut to Sarah's office at Ojai Foods. She's meeting with Tommy. Sarah seems to be having conniptions about something.

Sarah: You're telling me you're going into business with Holly Harper?! What are you thinking?

Tommy: Sarah, if I don't take a risk now I never will.

Tommy lays it out for Sarah. She's going to buy his company stock and he and Holly will use the proceeds to buy the winery. As a consolation, Tommy offers to stay on as an employee. Sarah doesn't have the energy to fight with him.

Sarah: I think you're crazy to go into business with Holly. But I'll watch your back. And drink your wine. Probably all of it. And you can tell Holly that if she screws with you I will kill her. I swear to God I will.

Tommy: It's what I'm counting on.

I wouldn't exactly count on it, Tommy. Rachel Griffiths is pretty formidable, sure, but something tells me in a catfight she and Patricia Wettig would be evenly matched.

Cut to Sarah's house later that evening. Sarah comes home from work to find Joe sitting on the couch practicing chords on his guitar. Which, I guess, is the househusband equivalent of eating bonbons. She asks him if he's ready to go to their couple‘s counseling appointment.

Joe: I've had enough talk. I've had enough therapy. I knew something was up with Noah. I'm not going back there any more.

Cut to Holly's house in Los Feliz. Tommy is there discussing plans for the winery partnership.

Holly: I promise. I won't let you down. We are gonna make beautiful wine together.

Tommy: So we have a deal?

Tommy shakes her manicured hand.

Holly: Oh, your father would be so proud of us. He's here with us. He's watching us. I know it!

Tommy is a little creeped out by that thought. As am I. He makes to leave. Just then, we hear someone outside. Who should walk in but the much talked about but not yet seen Rebecca! (Holly's daughter with William Walker).

Rebecca sees Tommy and thinks her Mother has a “gentleman caller.”

Rebecca: You're a little young for my mom aren't you?

Tommy: We're business associates.

Rebecca: Oh, of course.

Tommy knows the girl is his half-sister and can't stop staring at her. After he leaves, Rebecca tells her Mom she thinks he's cute. This sort of creeps out Holly.

How will she keep Rebecca apart from the Walkers? The answer is: she won't! My sources tell me that next episode will break this dirty little secret (Rebecca's paternity) wide open.

Cut to Kevin's apartment hallway. Chad is knocking insistently on the door and Kevin finally, reluctantly answers. Kevin hasn't been taking Chad's phone calls either.

Chad: What did I do?

Kevin: I got a call from Michele and it wigged me out.

Chad: I thought she might do that…

Kevin: You'll forgive me if I'm a little freaked. I mean is this going to be like Fatal Attraction?

Chad: Can I please come in? I have a rabbit I want to put on the stove.

Okay I added the rabbit bit. Strike that. Anyway, Kevin refuses to let him in. Gotta say, Chad looks really good in this scene. I'd probably let him in myself.

Kevin: How many Micheles have there been. How many Kevins?

Chad: Yeah, I know I have a history.

Kevin: What a club, schmucky men and women who lose their minds around you and behave like helpless morons. You're built to seduce and run Chad, you just can't help it.

Chad again begs to be let in but Kevin says he can't be distracted. He's prepping a case. Chad promises he won't talk.

That's probably for the best, Chad. When you do talk you say very off-putting things like “bro,” kicks”, and “Rilke is my ‘due north.'” So do us all a favor and just sit there and look pretty.

But Chad breaks his vow of silence before he even gets through the door. He asks what Kevin's case is about.

Kevin: What they're all about. Lies and broken promises. I hate you. Come in.

They kiss. All right, I admit it. As much as I dislike Chad, I think he's sorta hot. So I can't begrudge Kevin for inviting him in. Sure, it might be a Fatal Attraction-type thing. But I've found, in my experience, that crazy people are fun in the sack.

Cut to a family dinner at the Walker mansion. Over the dinner table, Julia makes an announcement that they are adding two new Walkers to the line up. They'll have to start thinking about names.

Tommy: Does anyone think it's too early for another William?

There's an awkward silence but then Mamma Nora pipes up:

Nora: Well the world could always use another William Walker.

Cut to the therapist's office. This time Sarah is there alone.

Sarah: Why can't you say anything. One thing to make this better?

What I want to know, Sarah, is why do you keep going back there? Especially when your therapist says tripe like this:

Therapist: There are no shortcuts Sarah - in life or in love. This pain must be felt. The alternative is much worse. It's what makes us special, what makes us beautiful. What makes us worthy.

Oh god, he's paraphrasing Rilke. I guess it's his due north too! What are the odds?

Therapist: ….and that is where you are: Somewhere between agony and optimism and prayer. So you're human. You're alive. And that is what we have. Come back tomorrow. We'll go on. That will be $350 dollars for this session please.

Okay, so I added the last part—he didn't really say that. But, oh, Sarah, find yourself another therapist. This guy isn't worth whatever you're paying him.

The credits roll. So ends another installment of Brothers & Sisters.

Brothers & Sisters will return with a new episode

on Sunday March 4th.
