'Brothers & Sisters': Science isn't always fair
On this week's "Brothers & Sisters," The Walkers fall victim to certain elements and have to figure out which ones they can control.Kevin's biology lesson
Sarah is getting some major tween-tude from Paige. When did she grow up? So, when Paige's school sponsors a science fair, Paige isn't keen on her mother helping out. Sarah asks her brothers to help.
Before the fair, Kevin and Scotty find out that their sperm has created eight possible embryos. Five are Kevin's. The other three are Scotty's. Kevin's competitive nature moves to boasting after he hears the news and Scotty gets visibly annoyed by his behavior. When Kevin helps Paige with her science project (creating electricity from lemons), he funnels his competitive nature into the project. He bumps it up a few notches from her idea of powering a small light to a dancing robot.
While at the fair, Scotty finds out that several of the embryos haven't matured correctly. The faulty ones are Kevin's. Kevin then funnels his feelings of inadequacy into Paige's project, as well. While he's "upgrading" it, the whole thing falls apart.
While Paige blames Sarah's motherly meddling and not Kevin for her project being destroyed, Kevin apologizes to her. He explains that when he was young, he always overcompensated. That usually led to him being made fun of.
Holly wants out
Meanwhile at Ojai Foods, Saul asks Holly not to pursue charges on Ryan in regards to ruining their batch of wine. After all, he saved Kitty's life with his bone marrow transplant. She gives in, because she's just tired of fighting The Walkers on issues like this. Holly decides to approach Dennis, William Walker's former business partner and the guy who has been plotting with Ryan to overthrow the company, to buy her shares from her. After she brings him up to an incredibly high offer, Holly begins to think that his motives may go beyond simple revenge. She wonders if there's something she doesn't know about the value of the company.
Justin is a medical school flunkie
After Justin's advisor tells him to consider dropping out of med school, Justin lashes out at Rebecca and Kevin. He's frustrated, because no matter how hard he studies for exams, he still does poorly on them. At the science fair, Rebecca steers Justin to one of the science projects. Turns out it was created by a boy with a learning disability, who has created a project to illustrate how information isn't being read correctly by the brain. Justin decides that maybe he, too, has a learning disability and should be tested.
Nora suffers from temporary blindness when it come to Simon
After disappearing soon after Nora gave him a huge donation, Simon turns up again. Sarah warns her mother that something isn't right about him, but Nora seems to be taken by the handsome doctor. Right before the science fair, Sarah discovers a photo of Simon with another wealthy older woman. Kevin convinces her to let it go. At the fair, Sarah tries to warn her mother, but Nora isn't receptive.
The next day, Sarah walks in on Nora and Simon having lunch. Nora insists that Sarah stay. Turns out Nora has discovered the same photo Sarah did. She contacted the woman and found out that she, too, had donated money to one of Simon's causes. Nora finds out that Simon took the woman's money and disappeared. As Sarah looked on proudly, Nora puts into play an interesting turn of events that leads to Simon's arrest.
Thoughts and tidbits:
- I'm really loving Holly, Rebecca and Nora's "sixth sense" in this episode.
- Hilarious that Saul was hiding in the pantry with a fireplace stoker just in case Nora's plan to hand Simon to the police got out of hand.

As for the design of hair straightener, the GHD straightener always comes at the top of the list of best hair straighteners. GHD Dark Maybe GHD straighteners are slightly higher in price than other congeneric products, but they are absolutely worth the price.However, buying a hair straightener is definitely much cheaper than going to high-grade barber shop.If you want to use GHD straigheners to bend your hair, it sounds a little unreasonable because hair straighteners are originally used to straighten hair.
this show seems to write good episodes natuarally. i love it.
Nora was great especially getting her boyfriend arrested. I did not want to suspect but it was a little too much when he happens to show up with a bad story and we also discover that Nora cancelled the check.
Justin has a learning disability. Is he not too old to have discovered this. I feel sad for Justin because i mean he is looking like he is studying as hard as he can but it is not working.
Kevin being kevin. he hates to lose but loves to gloat when he wins. he took the science project too far even though i would say that paige would not have won with the simple light trick. they should stopped at the robot and heck at least she did not do the incredible easy and incredible boring volcano.
I'm really happy we didn't get to see Nora lose money and be taken advantage of. I was glad to learn that she did cancel the check and just loved the confrontation scene with Simon. He's got what he deserved in my point of view. I look forward to see what will happen with Justin. I don't know if just being diagnosed with a learning disability will make him able to up his grades. I guess we'll see. And also, I agree with Holly, I now am curious about Denis' insterest in Ojai, 350/share is very expensive if you're in it just for revenge.
I enjoyed this episode. I am sorry, but I am going to have to side with Holly on this one. I understand that Ryan saved Kitty, but he did ruin their stock of wine and cost them millions of dollars. They have a business to run and it so unfair for Saul to ask her not to press charges. It isn't fair to her.
I absolutely loved the Simon confrontation scene. Nora was on her game. I LOL'd when Sarah was like "you're like a bond girl" and Nora responds "Not a bond girl, BOND....he's the Bond Girl (points at Saul)" LMAO.
Justin may have a learning disability but i think it's useless to go this route. Justin should be a paramedic!! it is obvious to everyone, so for them to even tread on the idea of him becoming a doctor is stupid imo.
* and im sorry a learning disability for justin should have been discovered MUCH earlier.
I bet Scottie and Kevin have twins!
I loved the Nora scene confronting Simon.. its about time the writers give a bit of positive energy to Justin since his storyline is so depressing.. Sarah needs a new man but not for a fling, something longer.. lets hope Holly discovers the real nature of Dennis York and that he plotted with Ryan..
After this episode, I wondered if Dennis could be working with the Walker's to get Holly out of the company.
Can the show please find Nora a decent man who isn't married or a thief?
