Group therapy. The scene is difficult to do justice to, as it's another one of those exquisitely timed and acted full-cast scuffles that plays so well but isn't as fun to read. I'll do my best. We begin with a girl named Claire -- played by an actress some of you may remember as that girl from early in the second season of Felicity who tried to get her boyfriend back by dressing trampy and putting rouge on her nipples -- going off on her family. The Walkers stare at this train wreck, perplexed. Nora murmurs to Kevin that she'd shoot him if he talked to her like that. "What does that mean?" he asks, horrified. Before Nora can answer, the therapist invites Justin up to speak. The whole family files up to take seats at the front, and Nora is getting all anal about where everyone sits; Kitty tells her to knock it off. The therapist thanks them all for coming and asks how Justin's doing; he feels weird and cornered, but other than that, he's great. Heh. After the therapist talks about accountability as part of the process, Justin starts to apologize to various family members for various things, but Nora interrupts to say that they all love him very much. Justin's like, whatever, a reaction the therapist prompts him to elaborate on, and he says tersely that he's "done some things any human being would be ashamed of," and Nora might have a hard time with that, but he has to make amends "for this to work," so if she could please just...not. Nora eagerly says okay, but adds that "whatever you've done, I'm sure it's fine," and keeps rambling on in the letting-him-off-the-hook vein until Tommy tells her impatiently to let Justin talk.
