Tonight, Justin and Rebecca are employed, and maybe nobody else
New episode tonight! Here’s what ABC’s press release says we have to look forward to:
“Tug of War - Holly takes her authority at Ojai Foods too far and pushes Saul and Sarah to their limits. Meanwhile Kevin encounters homophobia in the work place for the first time, and Justin struggles with a hero’s welcome from a soldier whose life he saved in Iraq, on “Brothers & Sisters,” SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
“Brothers & Sisters stars Dave Annable as Justin Walker, Maxwell Perry Cotton as Cooper Whedon, Kerris Lilla Dorsey as Paige, Sally Field as Nora Holden, Calista Flockhart as Kitty Walker, Balthazar Getty as Thomas Walker, Rachel Griffiths as Sarah Whedon, Rob Lowe as Senator Robert McCallister, Luke Macfarlane as Scotty Wandell, Sarah Jane Morris as Julia Walker, Matthew Rhys as Kevin Walker, Ron Rifkin as Saul Holden, Emily VanCamp as Rebecca Harper and Patricia Wettig as Holly Harper.
“Guest starring are Mitch Pileggi as Browne Carter, MJ Karmi as Cynthia Carter, Brandon Gunn as the passer-by, Rick Worthy as Officer Collins, Dane Garretson as the potential recruit, Benny Ciaramello as Anthony Lewis, Carmen Corral as Maggie Lewis, Christine Avila as Anita Lewis, Terry Bozeman, Pamela Shaddock and S.E. Perry as the board members, John Prosky as Ron Robinson, Wylie Small as Connie Robinson and Justin Alvarez as the bartender. ‘Tug of War’ was written by Liz Tigelaar and Josh Reims and directed by Gloria Muzio.”
I’m really hoping this is the episode where Sarah quits, because she so needs to get out of that place. She needed to do it even before Holly took over, but now, it’s just self-abuse to stay. Go. Go find a job where hot guys work and your brother doesn’t. Are they hiring wherever Noah works now? Just asking.
And speaking of work … judging from the clip above, Justin and Rebecca both have jobs? Will wonders never cease.
Meanwhile, to finish up with last week’s episode, here are five scenes I’d have liked to have seen. Maybe they got left on the cutting room floor?
1. Rebecca thinking for two seconds about the fact that she has no money (upcoming temp job notwithstanding). I mean, give most of the $2 mil back, sure. But, like, pay a year’s rent first.
2. Tommy and Julia in the car driving to Kitty’s. We know she was reading in the car because it made her carsick. Would have been nice if she at least got a little dialog for her troubles. It would have been interesting to hear Julia’s perspective on the book in general and Tommy’s depiction specifically, and maybe some chat about the situation with Kevin, too.
3. Holly breaking up the book group in the fax room, which was, much as I loved it, decidedly unprofessional. Was there a page about her they could have left behind?
4. The Walkers’ departure from Casa McCallister. We picked up after they’d left and Robert had cleaned up. Did they just slink off after Robert’s outburst, or keep sniping ’til the end?
5. The calendar pages flipping to mark a month or so’s wait for the adoption agency’s approval. I can believe that they were approved to adopt, but overnight? Nuh-uh.
Brothers and Sisters, Book Burning

I would have LOVED to hear the part about the “foreplay” that Nora and Justin almost told Sarah over the phone. Gawd knows what it was really about, but it was funny nonetheless.
