Retcon Patrol 1-13: “Something Ida This Way Comes” Part 4

Today we continue our search for inconsistent or comment-worthy moments in the Brothers & Sisters first season with a look at the fourth part of Episode 13. Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you need to catch up, then dive right in here with Part 4.

If Sarah had known her arrival would follow her sex-video showing, maybe she’d have worn a less trashy dress. Are state troopers supposed to be leering like that on the job?

Sarah and Joe’s outfits appear to be color-coordinated.

This scene with Kitty and Robert in the closet makes me imagine a long afternoon in the writers room with everybody listing as many shoe metaphors and puns as they could possibly think up.
