The Brody Bunch

Nora, who has apparently graduated from newbie to drive-time radio pro in about five weeks is killing wood across California as she talks about her callers' problems. Today she has a buxom woman hosting with her and helping her answer her calls. She may be a doctor? Judging by her attire she is a naughty doctor or a maybe a wet nurse. But that's neither here nor there because this is a radio show and the only one getting the XXX peep show is Nora and she doesn't seem to think anything of it. Nora and the doctor are talking about reality versus fantasy and maybe they are role playing? But Nora's next caller wants to look up an old girlfriend, but he's not sure whether it's a good idea. Nora nods eagerly while Dr. Boobs McClure worries about the clash between fantasy and real life. Can we all see where this is going? Yes, we can.

Kevin has taken Paige's crazy and kicked it up a notch to the clearly schizophrenic. He has dressed up the bag of flour, okay? He has dressed it in a little hoodie and put tissue paper in the arms and the hood and made it a real baby and is coddling it and cooing. Maybe those long hours in his office without proper ventilation with the glue gun has done something to him. Or maybe realizing that Paige can adopt a bag of flour in an afternoon, but he, as a gay man, has to jump through numerous hoops to have a child has just sent him over to cuckoo land?

Anyway, Sarah rightly demands that he step away from the sack of flour. Then she grouses about how needy the bag of flour is, you know, for being a bag of flour and a lone tear trails down Kevin's face and Sarah snaps at him to get over it and he calls her a "Grumpy Grandma", which is pretty darn accurate. Also, cutting. To change the subject and get his mind off of his baby blues, Kevin turns on the radio on Sarah's desk and talks breezily about the crazy callers harassing their mother on her show. This cheers Sarah up immensely because crazy people make for great ratings, but when Sarah listens closely to the caller, her face falls. She recognizes the voice. It's her not-father Brody. She cannot believe that he would dare to dial up their mother and try to reignite the flames that fanned their passions.

In fact, that's just what Nora and Dr. Boobs McClure are discussing with him right now: Whether he hopes to recapture the passion of their youth. Brody is saying disgusting things about how passion was never their problem and Sarah and Kevin both shiver unconsciously. They are listening in abject horror when Tommy walks in to the office. He has some cookies that Rose baked to fatten him up, but he knows that no one likes him when he is fat fat fat and that nothing, not even cookies, taste as good as skeletal feels. He's just not happy with himself if he doesn't look like a bobblehead doll. Sarah and Kevin quickly explain that after their emergency family meeting, Sarah went to Brody for comfort. He confirmed that he's not her father, but she may have mentioned that Nora was pining for him. So now he has done the unthinkable and called the radio show. Tommy is pissed, because everything is about him and now Nora is going to be mad at Rose and Rose is going to be mad at him and it's all Sarah's fault. He's out of here! Sarah and Kevin shrug because no one cares, really. Meanwhile, Nora has finally figured out who the caller is and she's not pleased. Sarah knows her mother is going to be pissed, so she ditches Kevin at the office (with Joaquin to keep him company and comfort him in these dark times) and runs for it.
