Post by bunniefuu »

KITTY: Previously on
Brothers & Sisters...

What about the old-fashioned way?

IVF didn't even work.

It is your fertile window.

Have I missed that.

Will you please marry me?

Yes.

Dad had another kid. With Holly.
Her name's Rebecca.

I had this weird moment
where I thought I had feelings for you.

You let William Walker die thinking that
I was his kid! How could you do that?

I want you out of this house.

You owe a substantial amount of
money, and you need us.

- A merger is our only offer.
- Okay.

I'm a gay man, Kevin.

We're not related.

So, you lied to me?

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
- Just go!

Dad wasn't her father.

She's not a Walker. She never was.

JUSTIN: Okay, so where are you?
TOMMY: Yeah. All right. Well, I will.

Hi. No, it's Kitty McCallister.
I'm calling for Dr. Feldman.

I have to sit down
and speak to Tom and Evan.

Before cell phones, no one
had this much to say to each other.

Kevin's on his way. Did you tell him?

No, I didn't tell Kevin.

There would be no need
for a family meeting if I had,

because everyone would already know.

Holly's trying to get into the Ojai
tax files. What's the password?

I'll open them up when I get there.

- Remember, she's the reason Ojai's...
- What, she can't wait?

KITTY: No. I was just wondering
if I'm... Right.

- No, no. That's okay. I understand.
- Who is she talking to?

- Fertility doctor.
- KITTY: Okay. I'll wait for his call.

Oh, Kitty. Are you...

I don't know. Mom, can we please...

Yeah, I got to go. Bye.

If I don't get to work, Holly's going
to start ransacking my desk.

Look, this is an important family matter.
We need to discuss it as a family.

Well, can't we just
maybe tell Kevin later?

Please, Mom, I don't have all day.

All right. All right, but please
I don't want anyone to overreact.

This affects Rebecca
more than anyone else,

and it's not her fault.
Actually, you know what?

Nothing has really changed.

So how should I say this?

Okay, you know what?
Rebecca's not our sister.

Dad wasn't her dad. DNA, got to love it.

Thank you, Justin. It's not exactly
how I would've phrased it,

but that's the gist of it.

Rebecca is not your biological sister.

- Oh, my God.
- Who's the dad, then?

- SARAH: How long has she known?
- Wait a minute. How's Rebecca?

Wait, wait... One at a time.
One at a time.

Tommy, David, Holly's ex,
is Rebecca's father.

Sarah, I guess Rebecca has known
for a few days now.

Kitty, I don't know how she's doing.

I called her, she hasn't called me back.

I knew it. This is... This is all Holly.

Sarah, it doesn't have
anything to do with Holly.

Really? How could it not be?

Kitty's right. The only person
we should be thinking about

- right now is...
- God!

- Kevin!
- What?

Did Scotty tell you or did Justin bug
my apartment with his junior spy kit?

- What are you talking about?
- Nice try. Okay.

Mom, we would love to have it here.
Scotty obviously will cook.

Tommy, if you could bring some wine,
that'd be great. Justin, stay sober.

Sarah, you got the toast. Kitty,
since you write speeches for a living,

we would love it if you could
officiate the ceremony.

Officiate? Are you engaged to Scotty?

No, I met some guy last night.
Yeah, of course, to Scotty.

Wow. I realize it may be
a shock to some of you,

but congratulations might be nice.

Oh, honey! This is so great!

- Thank you.
- You and Scotty, it's just perfect.

Wow. You're getting married?

No, not married. Committed.
No comments from the peanut gallery.

Oh, it would be so easy, man.
I'm happy for you.

It's just what we need right now.
When?

- Saturday.
- Saturday?

- Why the rush?
- We felt it was time,

and since both of us have zero desire
to throw some kind of fairy-tale shindig,

yes, I am looking at you,
we figured, why not?

Congratulations.

- Yeah, congratulations. It's great.
- Yeah.

Thank you.
You all sound so happy for me.

No, no. God, we are.

Can someone please tell Kevin
what's going on?

What do you mean? I thought
you were all here talking about me.

Honey, maybe you'd like to sit down.

There's been
another little development.

What? You're not related?

No, no. I agonized over meeting her.
I could barely look at her for months.

And now that I actually like her,

I find out that she's just the love child
of my dad's mistress and some guy.

I mean, and poor Rebecca.

I mean, she's not even
who she thought she was.

Okay, I'm at a loss.

Yeah. So I'm not overreacting, right?
It's not just the hormones?

No. But your boobs do look bigger.

No, they're not. No, it's just the bra.

- They've got help.
- Doesn't explain the glow.

- Do you really think I'm glowing?
- I do.

Just stop it. Stop it. You know what?
You're just going to get my hopes up.

It's just from the shock
of waking up with two sisters

and finding out by lunch
that I only have one.

Oh, yeah. And Kevin's getting married.

- What?
- Yeah.

I feel like we've been preempted
by a special news bulletin.

Should we change
the date of our ceremony?

Are you kidding me?
The timing's perfect.

Mom will be too preoccupied
to be her loving-but-intrusive self.

Well, at least she'll be there.

You called your parents?

Yes. And surprise, surprise,
they can't make it.

Oh, come on, they live in Arizona.

They can't drive five hours to be
at their son's bonding ritual?

Is that what we're calling it now?
Because that sounds kind of kinky.

Well, commitment ceremony
sounds so...

It's like we're being
formally institutionalized.

Well, a lot of people would say that's
an accurate description of marriage.

Well, whatever we are calling it,
your parents should be there.

(SIGHS)

Kev, I wasn't raised in Los Angeles.

I never heard my parents use
the word "gay" until I told them I was.

Well, geography doesn't justify it.

I know. But I'm tired of banging
my head against that particular wall.

Our whatever-we're-calling-it
will be better without them.

Are you really that okay with it?

(SIGHS)

There's nothing I can do about it,
so, yes, I am okay.

Really.

I always believed
that Rebecca was his daughter.

I mean, there was such
a remote possibility that she wasn't.

So when you agreed to bail out Ojai,

did you know Rebecca took
a paternity test?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Good question.
- Sarah.

Let's skip the greeting and move
to the part where you answer it.

Yes, I knew. But that has nothing
to do with the merger.

My only motivation was believing that I
owed it to William to save his company.

And did you owe it to him to lie, too?

No, I never lied to him.

Oh, come on, Holly. The only reason
Dad left you any money

was that he thought
that Rebecca was his daughter.

- Are you joking?
- Explain his passwords then.

The initials of all his children,
the last one was "R."

Tell me he wasn't thinking of Rebecca.

Sarah, Dad left Holly the money.
Besides it's ancient history.

Not anymore, Tommy.
I don't care how long this takes,

I don't care how much money I got to
spend, you are not getting a dime.

- What, you're going to sue me?
- You bet!

- On what grounds?
- It's fraud. Plain and simple.

So you think that I deliberately lied
about Rebecca for over years

so if and when your father d*ed,
I could inherit his business?

- That's exactly what I think.
- Well, you're insane.

Holly, will you give us a minute?

Yeah, I would be glad to, because
your sister obviously loses all reason

when I'm in the room.

Sarah, the merger included
a non-liability clause

and we all signed it.

She deceived us, Tommy.
What's wrong with you?

Me? You were the one who went
looking for Rebecca in the first place.

You were the one who was
obsessed with that baby picture.

And you were the one who told her
our dad was her father.

So, if you're looking for somebody
to blame, look in the mirror.

God, Tommy,
at least Dad could keep her in line.

Look, Sarah, I'm not going to let you
bring this business down

to get back at Holly.

As co-president of this company,
I'm telling you that will not happen!

So just let it go.

Okay. I need a guest count.

Uh... No, Mom. It's the family,
a couple of Scotty's friends,

and a few people from the firm, that's it.

I need names. I need numbers.

I called Christophe
and he said he could do

a lot of really nice flowers on a rush.

- No, no flowers.
- It's really no problem.

Mom, I don't care if you're on
first-name terms with the florist.

The answer is no.

(SIGHS) Put Scotty's parents
down there.

They're not coming.

Well, you need to give people
more notice.

It's not the notice part
that's the problem.

It's the two grooms part.

You're not serious.

Look, Mom, not every parent joins
PFLAG when their kid comes out.

It's okay. It's okay.
Scotty wasn't expecting them.

No.

Even if you expect the worst
from your parents,

it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
when it happens.

- Could I call them?
- You could call them,

but unless you tell them I'm a woman,
I don't think you'll have much luck.

Kevin, you can't give up.

You remember how long it took
for your father to adjust? But he did.

- It's okay.
- No, it's not.

Hey, guys. Here, Mom.
Julia said you wanted this.

Okay, take that back to the car
right now! Please, please, Mom.

Scotty is in charge of cooking.

It's Scotty who asked
for more chafing dishes.

For goodness... Will you please
get it through your thick skull?

I'm going to respect your wishes.

(INAUDIBLE)

No matter how much I disagree
with them, it's your wedding.

Yeah, that's... No, it's not a wedding!

Everything's all set for tonight.

- All right!
- What?

- Yeah!
- No! No, no!

No lap dances, tequila sh*ts.
I'm not interested in a bachelor party.

Yeah, whatever. You're coming.

- Here, give me a hand.
- Where are you going?

I'm going to the car
to grab some more stuff.

How much more?

- Relax, would you?
- I mean, why are you so nervous?

You're only committing your life
to one man for the rest of eternity.

Hey.

Uh... Sorry. Nora asked me to stop by.

- All right. I'll meet you guys at the car.
- Okay.

We're just getting some stuff together
for Kevin's "not a wedding" wedding.

- You heard, right?
- Yeah, yeah. Congratulations.

KEVIN: Great.
So, we'll see you Saturday?

TOMMY: Yeah.
KEVIN: Great. Let's go.

Well, you have to come.
Kevin wants you there.

I know. And that means a lot. I just...

I really don't think
that everybody feels the same way.

You mean your mom?

No. We're not talking right now.

I meant Justin.

Oh, well.

Justin is just hurt and confused.
I'm sure you're hurt and confused.

Nora, if I would have known any of this,
I would never have let it happen.

I'm glad it happened.
I'm glad you're in my life.

You don't need to say that.

Rebecca, last summer, when Justin
was in Iraq, you took care of me.

Don't you remember all those nights
you stayed up late with me

right here watching old movies?

And the times you answered the phone
when I was too petrified to pick it up?

- Have I ever even thanked you?
- Nora, you don't need to thank me.

I would've done it
whether you were family or not.

There's more to family than just DNA.

I don't give a damn
about any stupid test.

You're a part of this family.

Sorry.

(CHUCKLES)

So you're coming Saturday night?

- Good, because I need your help.
- Yeah.

NORA: I'm going to call out
these numbers. Write them down.

"Kevin and Scotty
have so much in common.

"A zest for life, a wicked sense
of humor, a love of hair products..."

(GRUNTS)

What? But no, no, no, that's funny.

I thought you were officiating
a ceremony, not hosting a roast.

You know, it's so easy for you
to sit there and criticize when...

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

This has to be him.

Hello.

KITTY: Hi, Dr. Feldman.

Uh-huh.

Right. No, that's okay. I had a feeling.

KITTY: No, I know, thank you.
All right. You, too. Bye.

Well, I'm...

- I'm not glowing.
- You okay?

Yeah, I guess Dr. Feldman
was just humoring us.

Letting us think that we could get
pregnant by actual human intercourse.

Well, at least we enjoyed the process.

Yeah. Now it's back to petri dishes
and hormones and mood swings.

You know, you don't have
to put yourself through this.

- Are you giving up?
- No, I'm not giving up.

Well, I would understand.
I mean, it was a month ago

that you didn't even want
to have a baby.

A month ago I was running
for President. I feel differently now.

All I'm saying is there are other options.
We could use surrogacy, we can adopt.

I know! But I still want to be pregnant!

I mean, this is not a problem that
you can just table in subcommittee

and move on to the next motion.

And, please, don't try to fix this.

DOUG: I found this in her desk.

- How's he handling it?
- Ryan?

He's having a hard time.

Kevin.

Get back to your evening. See you.

Yeah. Thanks, Doug. I appreciate it.

Okay.

(CLEARS THROAT) Dad.

(EXHALES)

You all right?

A mutual friend of ours
just passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I know him?

No. She was a lobbyist
for the food industry.

I'd see her at conventions,
events, that sort of thing.

- Is that the contract?
- Yeah. Peruse away.

So...

- How are things?
- Things?

In your personal life. Yeah.

I'm a junior associate at a civil law firm.

I don't have time to sleep,
let alone a personal life.

Are you seeing anyone?

(EX CLAIMS NERVOUSLY)

Did Mom put you up to this?

(CHUCKLES)

No. The friend that d*ed, she left
behind a husband and three kids.

There must have been so many things
she would like to have said.

Right. No, I'm single.
I'm not seeing anyone right now.

Is that common?

You know, I think this is getting
a little awkward for the two of us.

Why don't we get back
to the contracts?

I'm trying to talk.

Well, I tried to do that with you
for quite a few years.

- And I just wasn't ready to talk about it.
- So maybe I'm not ready now.

Kevin, I know I didn't handle things
too well back then.

You wouldn't even look at me.

You didn't want anyone
at work to know.

- I was struggling to find some...
- What, and I wasn't? I was a kid.

I just needed to know you loved me
the same way you loved

Kitty, Sarah, Justin or Tommy,
but you were too busy being ashamed.

And I have to live with how I reacted.

Now you can get past this
and accept my apology.

I'm not sure I can.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Time to celebrate
your holy mantrimony!

Did you spend the entire car ride
over here thinking that one up?

Yeah. So, grab your jacket,
we're going to Warbucks.

Very cute.
It's just a shame Friday's lesbian night.

I thought you researched it!

Ow!

I googled "upscale gay bar, hot dudes,
no nudity, off-street parking."

- It didn't say anything about lesbians!
- It's okay. I'm not in the mood anyway.

Bro, listen, you can't bail.
It's your party.

Well, I have a phone call
I have to make, so...

- That's okay. We'll wait.
- Well, it's... It's kind of important.

And private.

(EX CLAIMS)

Okay, Scotty's parents
aren't coming tomorrow.

Scotty says he's fine with it.
I just thought maybe if I asked them...

What, over the phone?

What am I going to do?
Drive to Arizona?

Kev, I know all about difficult in-laws.

You're going to have
to face them, man.

Yeah, I agree with Tommy.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yeah.

- Road trip.
- Road trip.

- Road trip!
- No.

- BOTH: Road trip!
- Are you serious?

- BOTH: Road trip! Road trip!
- Okay. All right. I'm driving.

JUSTIN: Yo, this is
the worst bachelor party ever.

Well, I figured out what I'm getting you
for your wedding present, Kev.

And hint, it's $ . a gallon.

- Super premium.
- Nice.

You think I ought to bring a gift
to the Wandells?

Yeah, like, "Here's some beef jerky
and some pine-scented air freshener,

"and we hope you come
to your gay son's wedding."

Yeah, I don't think buying them a gift

is going to convince them
you're not a perv.

Well, maybe if I tell them about you,
I'll look normal by comparison.

Kevin.

Oh, tell him. It's not taboo anymore.

Kevin, I told you in confidence.
Like brother-lawyer confidentiality.

- What?
- Justin had the hots for Rebecca.

I did not have the hots for Rebecca.

(BOTH EX CLAIMING IN DISGUST)

Oh, what? She's not related. It's fine.

How did I miss this one?

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Oh, it's Scotty. No one say anything.

- BOTH: Hi, Scotty.
- Shut up!

Hey, hon, how are you?

"How are you?"
Better yet, where are you?

Oh, we ended up crashing at Tommy's.

Did you smoke a bong
and listen to Led Zeppelin, too?

Okay, so you're angry.

No. I was just worried
the Gods in charge

of crushing my hopes and dreams
gave you cold feet.

Now that I know you're okay,
I am profoundly happy.

S CO TTY: I'll see you at the altar?

It's not an altar.
And I'll see you at : sharp.

I'll be the one with warm feet. Bye.

- Everything okay?
- Yes.

Except I should've finished
these canapés ages ago.

You should not have to work so hard
on your big day.

I wish there was more I could do to...

Do you know what I could do?
I could go outside

and snip some fresh rosemary
for garnish.

- That sounds lovely.
- Okay.

And while I'm out there,

I do have some beautiful hydrangeas
in pots.

- I could put some in the living room.
- Oh! Kevin specifically said

he didn't want a big floral thing,
so you don't...

Well, maybe just one or two
little short ones.

- Okay.
- Okay!

Good. I'll get my shears.

Nora, thank you for everything.

No, I should be thanking you
for making Kevin so happy.

And I get another son.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Hey.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Uh... I'm not pregnant.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
How are you feeling?

I'm feeling like a caffeinated diet soda
or... Or maybe a vodka.

Well, soda's up top,
vodka's in the freezer.

I guess I just needed
to get out of the house.

Did you and Robert have a...

- I don't want to talk about it.
- Okay.

Oh, well, you know, it's just
that Robert is ready to move on.

You know, he wants to adopt
or use a surrogate.

It's like plan A didn't work,
go right on to plan B.

I know exactly what you mean.

Tommy laid into me about Holly.

The only reason Dad left her
$ million

is because he thought
she was the mother of his child.

But I am supposed to just let that go.

Yeah, what do you think
it is about men?

Is it just in their genes?
It's just the "move on" chromosome?

I have no intention of moving on.
You see those?

Dad's personal files, the ones that
led me to Rebecca in the first place.

If there's anything in there that proves
that Holly tried to defraud our family,

I will find it.

How about you?
What are you going to do?

I don't know.
I mean, Robert has a point.

It's not like
I haven't thought of it myself.

Do you...

Do you remember the time
that you came to New York,

and I took you out for Indian food?

How can I forget?
Seven months pregnant.

It was hotter than hell,
the worst heartburn of my life.

I remember touching your stomach
when we went back to my apartment.

And Cooper was practically
doing somersaults.

And I just thought, "How weird.

(SARAH CHUCKLES)

"And how beautiful."

I don't know
how I'm supposed to move on.

I don't know how I'm supposed to
stop wanting that.

Kitty, you remember the somersaults.
I remember the heartburn.

You know what Cooper remembers?
Nothing.

There are no guarantees.

In the end, the only thing that matters
is that there's a child.

And that lasts forever.

You know what? I think we passed it.

No, that was Red Cedar Mall.
We're looking for Red Cedar Terrace.

Not only am I getting hitched tonight,

I pick today to meet the in-laws
who already hate me.

What is wrong with me?

- Who are you texting?
- No one. I'm using my GPS.

You have GPS and you let us drive
around in circles this whole time?

Well, I was having second thoughts.
Okay, we need to turn around.

(KNOCKING)

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm Kevin Walker.

- Scotty's friend?
- Yeah.

Could I speak with you?

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

I don't envy him.

So you like Rebecca?

It was a fleeting moment, okay?

Besides, it doesn't matter.
She lied to me.

Listen, Justin, it doesn't take
a rocket scientist to see

that you two have always connected.

So maybe it's something
worth salvaging.

I have imagined his wedding day
since he was a little boy.

But what you two are doing,
it's not a wedding.

It's not a union recognized
by the church or the state.

Actually, it is.
In the state of California, it is.

But you're right. It's different.


And we're doing this
because we want to be a family,

and we cherish family
as much as you do.

Scott is who he is.

We've accepted that and we love him.

But don't ask us to celebrate
this contrived event.

We don't want to hurt our son.

But we can't sit there
and have you rub our noses

in this pretend wedding.

It is too painful and too insulting.

Thank you for your time.

I'll let myself out.

Uh...

Kevin.

I have something I'd like you
to give to Scott. Would you mind?

The cufflinks I wore at my wedding.

I don't know if Scott will remember, but

I told him
that he could wear them at his.

Mr. Wandell, you can give
these to him yourself.

Try to understand,
we're not bad people.

It's just...

- I'll give them to him.
- Thanks.

Thank you.

(SIGHS)

Gosh.

JOE: Who's this?

Kitty? No. Wait, I don't know.

- It's Tommy. Yeah?
- It's your dad's car?

Yeah. Yeah, he got that car in, like, ' .

So I guess it's Justin.

Mom? Isn't it time to get ready?

- Sorry, honey, I got distracted.
- What's wrong?

Oh, there's this problem, and I know
the answer's right here in front of me.

I'm just... I'm trying to figure it out.

Daddy says sometimes the best way
to figure out a problem is

to not think about it for a little while.

Well, your daddy's very smart.

Okay, then, let's go get ready.

Hey.

Go away. We're not supposed
to see each other before the ceremony.

I have something important
I have to tell you.

What is it? Did something happen
in the living room?

No idea.
I've been banned from going in.

I have a confession to make.

I didn't sleep at Tommy's last night,
and I didn't have a bachelor party,

because we drove to Arizona
to see your parents.

You what?

I thought I could convince them
to come.

- I'm so sorry.
- Kevin, what did you do?

- Just show up at their doorstep...
- Here.

- They're your father's.
- I know.

(CHUCKLES)

I made this box for him in shop class.

He told me he was going to put
these in there for safekeeping

so that one day, when...
When I got married, he'd...

- Oh, God, we're looking at each other.
- Who cares?

- I know, I got carried away.
- Yes, you did.

Damn it, Kevin.
You deserve this night to be beautiful.

All right, yes, I got carried away.
I don't regret it.

Because tonight, Kevin,
you don't get to be guarded or cynical.

You and Scotty deserve this night
to be as romantic

and memorable as anyone else's.

Thank you.

You gave us a wedding.

I thought that, in true Walker style,

that I would share with all of you
a secret.

This isn't the first time
that Kevin's been married.

See, when we were kids,
we used to play "wedding,"

and Mr. McBear officiated.

(LAUGHING)

And I would wear
Mom's white nightgown.

Now, you remember
the satiny number with ruffles

that just screamed "bride" to me
at the time and to Kevin,

who wanted to wear it more than I did.

(LAUGHING)

Right afterwards we were
the proud parents of five kids.

And I was the mom. Kevin was the dad.

Well, because that's what our family
looked like, so that's all we knew.

And, now, here we are
at Kevin's second wedding,

and the rules are different,
and things that we thought to be true

turned out not to be.

And it seems that
when we give up on what was,

well, that's when things
that we thought improbable,

or impossible even,

happen right before your eyes.

Well, as Mr. McBear would say,

it's time to exchange the rings.

Oh!

- What's wrong?
- Oh, my God.

KITTY: Kevin?

- You didn't bring any rings?
- Oh, for God's sakes.

Here we go.

Okay, Scotty, please place
Tommy's ring on Kevin's finger.

Kevin, please accept this ring

as a symbol of my deepest love
and affection.

Kevin, please place
my husband's ring on Scotty's finger.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Scotty, please take this ring
as a symbol of my love and devotion.

And so, by the authority that
they have bestowed onto me,

I now pronounce them...

Um...

- Officially...
- Married.

MAN: Mazel tov.

WOMAN: Congratulations, you two.

MAN : Well, this is wonderful!
MAN : That's great.

MAN: Congratulations.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Looks like we're almost out of punch.

- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.

What's going on?

Look, I'm sorry.

I know what it feels like to find out
that someone you trusted lied to you.

- I'm not mad.
- You're not?

I mean, I thought I was. I was...

- I was just shocked, humiliated.
- You didn't need to feel humiliated.

Well, I didn't need to be
such a jerk either.

I mean, I can't even imagine
what you're going through.

So, let's...
Let's maybe start at square one.

Uh... Uh...

Hi. I'm Justin Walker.

You're not a Walker. You're just a girl

I'm holding my hand out to
really awkwardly.

(CHUCKLES)

It's nice to meet you.

- You need anything?
- No. Thanks.

You've outdone yourself again,
little sister.

Thank you.

So I told Kevin.
I came out to him, I mean.

Oh, Saul, I'm proud of you.

I always thought that all I had to do
was just tell one person

or just say the word out loud
and everything would be easy.

Give yourself some time.
You don't have to do it alone.

I think that was the bravest thing
I've ever witnessed.

It's amazing
what our children can teach us.

Looks like you, me and Mom
are the only single girls left.

You don't have to include me.

Oh, no.
We're like the mafia, us Walkers.

Once you're in, you can never get out.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, I'm kind of glad to hear that.

Hey, I brought you this photo.
Dad had it for years.

I guess Holly gave it to him.

Weird.

- Okay, I'm confused.
- I found it up at the Ojai house.

Actually, it started everything.

It's Dad's car, and since it wasn't
Justin, I put two and two together.

This baby isn't me.

What, are you sure?

Yeah. No, I didn't have cheeks like that,
and it's definitely not me.

We all assumed it was Rebecca.
And we were wrong about that.

But what if we weren't wrong
about everything?

Dad used his children's initials
to create his passwords.

Six initials, not five.

We all decided it was Rebecca,
but what if...

What if there's someone else
out there?

What if there's another "R"?

Okay, I've heard enough.
I'm out of here.

No!
Look, Tommy, just hear me through.

Sarah, come on.
Why don't you have a glass of wine?

- You think I'm crazy?
- No, I don't think you're crazy.

I think you're angry,
and I think you're hurt.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah.
Holly lied to Dad, okay?

She duped him. That's what happened.

- That's right.
- Doesn't explain the photo.

Listen, I found the photo,
I put the puzzle together,

and I know that there is
something about this child...

Sarah, please. Just stop.

I mean, Holly, Rebecca,
the business, it's just...

It's not your fault.

KITTY: Yes, I know.
You made a mistake.

But you can't just keep
b*ating yourself up about it.

I mean, come on, it's Kevin's wedding.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Fine. It's fine. Let's just go.

- You all think I'm going crazy?
- No.

I'm just losing my mind.

Saul.

Oh, I see, everybody huddled together
talking about me.

- No.
- No, Saul, no. Actually, we're not...

No, it's okay. Kevin, you tell
everybody everything anyway.

Okay, I'll say it. Fine. I'm gay.

(STAMMERING) What?

You're gay?

We weren't talking about you, Saul.

Oh!

My God, this is, like,
the gayest week of my life.

Oh, wow, it feels so good
to get out of those heels.

You feeling more relaxed
now that your officiant duties are over?

Oh, you know, I am still on a high.

What are you doing?

I am pouring us a little nightcap.

It's not like I'm pregnant.

For you. Cheers.

You know, I was thinking
about all the hormone sh*ts,

and the ultrasounds,
and all the ovulation sticks, and it's...

It's exhausting.

You know, I think I just had it in my
head that it had to be a certain way,

and, you know, I get it.

Things don't always work out
the way you plan.

Yeah.

I mean, Kevin's wedding
turned out better than mine.

(LAUGHS)

There are kids everywhere
that need families.

- And we can give them...
- Yes. Let's adopt.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

- Oh, Robert, I love you so much.
- I love you.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?

Who's going to carry who
across the threshold?

We don't have to do that, do we?

- Oh, if that's the way you feel about it.
- No, no, no.

(GRUNTING)

(LAUGHING)

- Oh, God, you're heavy.
- Well...

You're not going to take me
all the way to the bedroom?

It's funny. It's our first time home
as a married couple,

and suddenly, I'm not in the mood.

Yeah, Tommy warned me
that would happen.

I'm glad your mom made such a fuss.

Me, too. Come here.

Kevin, thank you.

Even though my dad couldn't be there,
I felt like he was, in spirit.

I'll meet you in the bedroom.
I'd like to call him.

You should.

I was just looking for those contracts.
What's this?

Oh, how did that get in there?

Doug must've mixed it in
when he gave me these papers.

- I'll mail it back to him.
- Who's the kid?

Oh, that friend that passed away.
This is her youngest. Ryan.

- I'm glad you came with me.
- Please. It's my job.

Yes, but I enjoy
spending time with you.

I like it, too.

- Kevin, what are you doing here?
- Hey.

Oh, okay, listen, if you and Scotty
had a fight, it is perfectly normal.

The truth is everyone's a little nervous
on their wedding night.

You were right.

Okay, I've been thinking a lot
lately about Dad,

and all this stuff's been coming back.

And I wouldn't have actually
thought about it

if it hadn't been for Scotty
and his parents.

Anyway, there was this one time,

Dad and I were
at a conference for Ojai.

It was the first time he tried to
bond with me after I came out.

This isn't even what it's about.

- What is it about, Kevin?
- There was a guy there. Doug.

Oh, God, his name was Doug.

He was telling Dad about
a friend of theirs who d*ed, a woman.

- Who?
- I'm not sure.

But he gave Dad an envelope,
and I didn't think anything more of it,

but I remember Dad asking
how Ryan was handling it.

And I just assumed Ryan was
this woman's husband, I guess.

But later, I was going through
some contracts, and I found a picture.

What picture?

The picture you found in Ojai.
The one we decided was Rebecca.

Sarah, I swear, I never thought
I'd seen that picture before.

But I had. I saw it then.
And when I asked Dad who it was,

he said it was the woman's son.

You were right.

There was another "R,"
but it was never Rebecca.

It was a boy.

And his name was Ryan.

(CAN'T FIND MY WA Y HO ME
PLAYING)

Come down off your throne

Oh, God.

Leave your body alone

Somebody's got to change, yeah

Mom.

Sarah, Kevin, what are you doing here?

You should be with Scotty driving down
the coast or buying tickets to Cabo.

Mom, we have something
we need to tell you.

What?

- What?
- SARAH: It's about Dad.

Well, I'm near the end
And I Just ain't got the time

What's more, I'm wasted
And I can't find my way home

- Hey.
- Hey.

Sorry it took me so long.
This place is pretty hard to find.

Yeah.
I'm not staying at my mom's anymore,

so our other walk
was kind of out of the way.

Oh, it's good.
You know, new settings, new situation.

So...

Um...

I've been thinking a lot
about everything.

And the thing is,

I don't think that I can do
what you're asking me to do.

I don't think I can start
from square one.

Okay.

Justin, you were the first person
to reach out to me.

Before anyone else,
you were my friend.

And when everything was happening,
these past couple of weeks,

you're the person I wanted to talk to.

You always are.

You, too.

And I mean everything's been crazy.

I mean, first I find out
that I have this family

that I never even knew existed,
and then suddenly, I don't.

- Rebecca.
- But then, it turns out that I do.

Because by some miracle,
you're all still willing to accept me.

And I can't help but wonder,

what if, in all of this insanity...

What?

...it was all just a way to meet you?

Come down off your throne

Leave your body alone

Somebody's got to change, yeah

(CHUCKLES)

You are the reason
I have been waiting so long

- I'm not really sure what to do next.
- Me neither.

Somebody holds the key

What's more, I'm wasted
And I can't find my way home
