What's New, Pussycat?

...but then Kitty's calling Nora for advice, and wondering if she remembers correctly that Ida once gave her brandy when she was sick. Nora: "Yes, but that was a different era and she was a terrible mother." Heh. Nora tries to bring up Isaac, but Kitty's not in any state to have that conversation, so Nora asks if Kitty remembers when she had chicken pox. Kitty does, and recalls how wonderfully Nora took care of her, but what she doesn't remember is that Sarah, Tommy, and Kevin all had it at the same time. I'm going to assume Justin wasn't born yet, although it's just as likely he turned his puppy-dog eyes on the virus and it decided to leave him alone. Also, Nora was sick as a dog herself and William was "out of town on business" (Nora doesn't inject this with any suspicion or even use finger-quotes -- how disappointing!). Her point? "Sometimes motherhood means sucking it up. Kitty? Go suck it up." Hee. Awesome. Nora disconnects before Kitty can spaz out too badly.

Saul knocks on Milo's door, and KEITH MARS opens it! I had heard this casting spoiler, but had since forgotten about it, and was very psyched to see Enrico Colantoni's round face again. Saul, presumably figuring that this is Milo's boyfriend, is flustered, but Keith Mars tells him that Milo's in Italy for a few weeks. Saul makes to leave but drops his name, and Keith Mars smiles in recognition and shakes Saul's hand, introducing himself as "Evan" and saying that Milo told him about Saul. Saul's face: "He didn't tell you about the Florida Keys, did he? Because that was PRIVATE!" Evan says that he's just staying in the place while Milo's gone, and invites Saul in so he can give him the number of Milo's hotel. "Apparently he managed to drown his cell phone in the Trevi fountain." He insists that Saul take a seat. "Pour yourself some wine!" Okay, they're as good as married.

Now, I adore Emily VanCamp and I regretted that all my episodes last season were from before she was on the show, but wow, do I not care about Detective Rebecca and David's stupid photos. Rebecca notes that David's pictures are marked with the year on the back, and David tells her that the one she's looking at was taken during his peyote period. "Drugs are bad -- you know that, right?" Sure, we'll go with that. Rebecca finds one of David and her mom (a real picture, since of course Ken Olin, who plays David, and Patricia Wettig are married in real life), and then another one of Holly from twenty-plus years ago, and they both marvel at how pretty she was. David gives the photo to Rebecca, and then compliments her for coming away with as many as two good photos on her first day of shooting. I'd think that was an odd place to end the scene if it hadn't already put me into approximately the same level of consciousness as Kitty.
