The whole Walker family is gathered in Nora's living room puzzling over what this meeting could be about. Kevin and Saul are doing a really good job not betraying any emotion. They guess that Sarah has run off and joined a Parisian brothel or is farming kasha on a kibbutz or something. Then Nora leads Kitty in with The Senator at her side. Rebecca rudely surmises that they are getting a divorce. (Geez, Becky, glad to see the Walker manners are rubbing off on you.) Kevin starts crying and then Saul starts in and Justin starts to panic and then Kitty just blurts it out: she has cancer. Justin and Rebecca are stunned and Kitty rushes to finish her speech. She explains that she has lymphoma, it's stage 3, and it could be worse. She just has to decide about treatment. Nora represents the West Coast chemo and The Senator pounds his chest and flashes signs over the East Coast clinical trial. Kitty's been accepted to the trial, yo! Nora scolds The Senator for making a call to get Kitty accepted to the trial. Most mothers would be thrilled that their daughter had options for treatment, but not Nora. Nora likes to be right. Nora and The Senator start arguing and Kitty shushes them and explains that she just wants to have a nice normal night with Nora's turkey meatloaf. Oh, it's a nice normal Walker dinner party all right. Nora drags The Senator into the kitchen and berates him for throwing his weight around and getting Kitty into the clinical trial. The Senator swears he is just trying to keep her options open, which makes a lot of sense to me. He fires back, accusing Nora of trying to dictate Kitty's kare, er...care, just so she will be close to Nora. Nora is so mad she tosses her buns on the floor then sternly tells The Senator, "Don't touch those buns." Dirty!
