On the plus side: extremely tiny and cute baby hat!Favorite Son - On the minus side -- well, you know. William II doesn't make it; Joe moves out, and The Talk with the kids is awful to watch; Kitty enlists Kevin's help to foil a blackmailer without Robert's knowledge; Robert helps Justin prepare for his return to Iraq; and Rebecca still lives with Nora. But I am pleased to report that 1) Robert proposes and Kitty accepts, and 2) baby hat! |

Don't AskBad News - Don't ask your husband if he kissed your half-sister, because he totally did. Don't ask your student out on a date, because it's skeevesville, and she'll give you what-for for acting like a pretentious ass. Don't ask your boyfriend to marry you in the aftermath of a tragedy, because he won't say no, but he won't say yes, either, and it's awkward. And don't ask Justin to keep a secret for you, because renting a billboard is a lot faster. |

Hanging ChadSexual Politics - I have written some crappy headlines in my career; this is not the worst, but it's in the bottom ten. I apologize to you all. Anyway: Kitty and Robert get closer, almost by mistake; Nora tries dating, with middling results; Tommy and Julia have too much sex; Sarah and Joe have trouble connecting; and Matthew Rhys and Jason Lewis make out, which bumped the episode grade up at least two notches. |

It's a pretty lame episode, but thanks to Kitty's excessively flattering B-plot, Warren gets bagged on repeatedly, so it's not a total loss. |
