Brothers And Sisters - The Wine Festival
Written by Sherri Cooper-Landsman And Michael Foley
Directed by Michael Morris
Probably my least favourite episode of the season. Good but not a great one.
Sarah was pushy with Luc but I'm a bloke and I can understand why she wanted some security from Luc. Dude, you're in the country. Making sure you had a Visa and stable employment should be a priority along with playing house with your girlfriend. Sarah might have pushed it but she wasn't being a nag.
Besides Luc did himself zero favours by getting so stroppy with her over the label, at the festival when she tried to get him a work contact and then by upping and leaving her. Surely, he could've listened to her apology (and even then, Sarah didn't really need to apologise).
Robert's fascination with Kitty's wig was nowhere near as bad or naff as Tom's was with Lynette's in Desperate Housewives. The end scene with Kitty showing him her bald head was sweet. Robert's been impressing in these last few episodes this season.
Kevin and Scotty need to go through a few episodes where they're actually on the same page about surrogates. I get that Kevin wants the best, but geez, take it down a notch. Saul's speech, though a little longwinded seemed to give him some perspective.
Nora and Simon, I'm still in the not sure category and I think the age difference is being exaggerated. If Simon was in his early 30s and not late 40s, I'd understand it a bit more. I did like that she proved to him that she wasn't that safe by the end of it.
Rebecca's scenes with David re her pregnancy were actually some of their best but jesus, why is it such an ordeal for her to tell Justin? I know he's stressed about med exams but come on, already? Just tell him.
Holly went from being woman of the hour to being ruined again. Nice one, Ryan. I actually felt bad for Holly because of you and that boring dolt, Neil. 7/10.
