Later that evening, Kitty and The Senator sit around the house while Kitty tries to reach Justin again and again and bemoans Justin's self-doubting ways. She notes that he is not picking up the phone. OH REALLY? You don't say. Since the wedding is off, Kitty sees no reason for The Senator not to go to Washington and try doing his job for a day. Just one day! He can do it if he applies himself. The Senator shrugs, fine, okay, he'll go to Washington. Why is everyone pressuring him? He's just a senator, its not like the world will stop if he doesn't show up. Sheesh.
Over at The Loft (They always call it "their loft", right? Not "our house" or "the apartment" I want to make sure I get the verbiage correct.) Scotty and Kevin are having one heck of a slumber party. Does Tommy know that Julia and Elizabeth are staying with Scotty and Kevin? Because I can't imagine that will really help patch up the bruised relationship between Tommy and Kevin. Scotty pours the tea (they just finished the scary movies and are about to start the pillow fight), while Julia moans about how all the Walkers hate her right now. Scotty snorts and asks her to join his Walker spouse support group. They meet every third Tuesday at The Loft, drink wine, and testify to the atrocities of the Walker family. Scotty starts to preach to Julia about how strong she is and how she has a job and Tommy is just a big old loser who is following her around like a beaten puppy that the ASPCA is about to rescue and Julia is totally the Big Cheese now and she can do whatever she wants. Julia stares at him in confusion, not realizing the self-healing undertones to Scotty's speech. He spells it out for her: She should forgive Tommy so she can really move on. She smashes him on the head with a pillow.
Justin swims the moat and storms the gate at Holly's house, dodges past Holly's first-round defenses and almost makes it to the inner recesses of the castle like he's a pro at Legend of Zelda (too late?) before David stops him with a hip check and wrestles him into a headlock. Holly makes a plea for clemency because he is the father of their grandchild. As Justin gasps for breath, Rebecca comes out to glare at him. As he apologizes profusely, Rebecca notices blood on his shirt and he gets his opportunity to explain about the accident and taking the kid to the hospital. Rebecca shakes her head in confusion, because it really is a good excuse, you know? But, really, this wasn't a little bit about not wanting to get married? Justin confesses that it was, but it wasn't. He had doubts, but about him, baby, not her! He loves her. LOVES. He just doesn't like himself that much. He has no problems taking care of other people, but can't take care of himself. He knows that he will be a good husband and a good father. He begs her to marry him tomorrow. She agrees. David doesn't.
