Retcon Patrol: 1-04 “Family Portrait” Part 3

Today we continue our look for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters first season with a look at the third part of Episode 4. Read Part 1 and Part 2 if you need to catch up, then dive right in here with Part 3.
16:50
In this babysitting scene, young Maxwell Perry Cotton was clearly practicing for his direct-to-video role as Dennis the Menace.
17:11
Cooper wants two of something and is willing to lie to get them. Boy takes after his grandpa.
17:31
Diabetes anvil #3: Paige has to pee!
17:55
I’m not sure Kitty should let Warren in the house. He could be a very dangerous role model for Cooper.
18:00
How does Warren know Kitty’s babysitting on the eve of her big interview? Doesn’t sound like the kind of thing you’d mention to your professional rival.
19:50
On the golf circuit, apparently, William was Bill. But did anyone call him “Billy”?
20:51
Trivia: Justin went to San Marino High, where he and Tyler were in classes called “Choices and Challenges” and “Ancient History” together.
20:53
So what’s more embarrassing: Having somebody recognize you from high school who you absolutely don’t remember …
21:05
… or having that person ask, what the hell happened to you?
21:21
Gus Black’s “Trillion Things” accompanies a smile from Tyler that suggests she had a crush on Justin in high school and still thinks he’s cute despite the fact that he’s a stoned loser …
21:44
… and continues on Warren and Kitty’s study date, where Warren clearly has a crush on Kitty.
21:47
Kitty is calling out Warren for lying in the same way she called Cooper out for lying earlier. And she’s shutting him down for future dating the way she shut Cooper down for Fudgie Pops. (Although it’s worth noting that Cooper went ahead and took a Fudgie Pop anyway.)
22:39
Paige is thirsty again!
23:56
Scotty told his “friend” that Kevin is very honorable. Is that a compliment?
24:48
Doctor Kitty’s health concerns for Paige are not well-received by Sarah. But you know, Mom, those anvils have been falling pretty hard. It’s not like Kitty’s being House here.
25:04
Busted! Sarah knows about Kitty’s conversation with Joe, of which it was clear nothing good could come. Wait ’til she finds out how many Fudgie Pops Cooper ate on Kitty’s watch. And that she let her boyfriend come over.
