Five questions: “Tug of War”
Five questions about last Sunday’s episode — “Tug of War” — still rattling around in my brain:
1. Isn’t Kevin enough of a public figure that lying about his personal life would be risky? Kitty talked about him on the radio, he’s been in gossip columns as Chad’s love interest, he was campaign fodder when Robert was running for president, his family is high-profile and loud-mouthed. It’s possible that the client wouldn’t have heard about Kevin’s sexuality, but not unrealistic that someone in his company might point out to the bigwig that his law firm hasn’t been perfectly … well, straight with him. (Especially after Kitty’s book comes out.)
2. Can corporate officers like Saul and Sarah really just up and leave? If nothing else, I’d think they’d have lots of personal stuff to move out of their offices (which Holly would no doubt require to be inspected by uniformed guards). I’ve worked in cubicles for a few months and still needed a box to take my junk. I’d think Saul, at least, might need a UHaul.
3. Will Nora forgive Robert? Yeah, he was probably out of line yelling at the family, and being all rude to his mother-in-law. And maybe he did misinterpret her (though I’m not so sure). But she’s got to be a little happy to have a son-in-law who will defend her daughter so passionately. Especially after that passive-aggressive mope Joe.
4. Why do Robert and Kitty have to adopt a baby? As opposed to a waiting child, that is. Seems like folks with their personal and financial resources might at least consider adopting an older child in foster care. Aside from sending a really nice message, it would get around the fact that babies make pretty boring TV characters.
5. So did Justin order the beer and not drink it, or drink the beer and lie about it? And how much time elapsed between when he ditched Rebecca and when he rolled home at 1 a.m.? Seems like a lot of time to stare at an unconsumed beverage.
