Hey know what we haven't had yet this episode? A gratuitous shot of shirtless Luc wrapped only in a towel. Hubba hubba yadda yadda. It's amazing how often that guy takes his shirt off. I mean, it's probably in his contract and all, but they really work it into the storyline, you know? Like, we see Luc and Sarah's bedroom almost every episode, but never Kevin's. So shirtless Luc overhears that Justin is blowing off his own birthday and even he thinks that is inconceivable (a word that must always be said with a Wallace Shawn accent) that Justin not have a party. Sarah decides to call Nora because Mommy Knows Best how to throw a party for Justin.
Nora answers with a very curt, "WHAT?" to which Sarah replies, "Take your Boniva, lady, sheesh," because that is NOT a polite way to answer the phone. Nora claims she is fine and is dying to a host a dinner party for Justin's birthday. NOooooooooOOOOOOOO. This episode can't handle a dinner party! There are too many Walker clichés already happening! Even Kevin realizes the validity of my argument and tells Nora to "think outside the wine box" for the birthday party. Luc suggests a dance party with a disco ball and since he is still shirtless no one bothers to argue with him. Kevin even suggests that Scotty shut down the café for the night and they can hire a DJ. Nora reminds them that Justin hates dancing, which I guess is a fact only a mother would know. Then Brody hollers in the distance and everyone hears it and Nora pretends it didn't happen. Then she confesses that Brody is there and that he is showering and, thus, nude within 100 feet of her person. Sarah giggles and then Nora lies and claims she is not doing Brody's laundry, which she totally is. She is such a lady, that Nora.
Then Justin comes into his house and totally catches Kevin red-handed, mid-conference call, in his house! Oh the scandal! Except Justin doesn't seem to care that Kevin broke in and was rummaging through his stuff and taking calls in his house. He just wants to know who Kevin was talking to, which seems like the least worrisome behavior what with all the misdemeanors going on. Kevin immediately fesses up that they were all planning his birthday party and Justin pretends that he canceled his ski trip with his "friends" because he wants to pretend he is not turning 30, which should be easy because Dave Annable is what? 32? This is called acting, Justin, it's YOUR JOB. Justin reminds Kevin that he just got off a night shift and would like to go to bed and then he also kindly asks him not to break into his house any more. Kevin doesn't agree to that, because duh. But instead he changes the subject and hands Justin the list of things to do before he turns 30. Sleep be damned, he and Justin are going to do everything on that there list. Except the flying car thing because that is just stupid. Justin is suspicious that Kevin is so willing to waste precious billable hours loitering at his house and Kevin admits that the real reason he is there is to avoid Scotty's horrible mother who is coming to meet Olivia. Justin isn't thrilled by this admission, but when Kevin pulls out an old school NES to play a round of Street Fighter (it's on the list!) Justin is in. Also, I'm jealous.
