Five questions: “Julia”
Five questions about last Sunday’s episode — “Julia” — still rattling around in my brain:
1. Could Kitty really be in twue wuv with Alec after a few weeks of flirting in the park? Hate to tell the fella, but she’s clearly fallen for him as a symbol of all that is Not Robert. I mean, how much farther can you get from an ambitious politician than a guy who seems to have absolutely nothing else to do in the world than hang out in the park with his son and listen to Kitty’s problems? If her marriage does indeed end over this, she’s going to be bored with this guy in about five minutes.
2. Is Kitty still a public figure? She is still a former TV personality, current author, and wife of a senator and gubernatorial wannabe, isn’t she? How fast do you suppose the police report about her having an accident with a strange man in the car would hit the Internet in the real world? That is, if cell-phone pictures of the two bonding at the park didn’t make it first, or a post on that real-estate agent’s blog. Women of even Kitty’s relatively low level of celebrity don’t get to engage in dalliances this public anymore, do they?
3. Did Tommy want his wife and daughter to be homeless? You’d think that in his letter home and the couple of phone calls they had, he might have given Julia a heads-up about the second mortgage.
4. So Rebecca has heard Ryan jump to the conclusion that William killed his mother, but it’s not until he allies with her own mother that she decides he’s dangerous? Actually, I suppose that is a valid litmus test.
5. Shall we start planning a Grey’s Anatomy/Brothers & Sisters cross-over? Seems a shame for Julia to go so specifically to Seattle without availing herself of the healing services of Seattle Grace. Maybe if Izzie doesn’t make it, Alex would like to rescue a struggling schoolteacher whose husband abandoned her and her daughter.
