Nora invites herself along on Kitty's campaign tour, because nothing screams Republican candidate like an incredibly vocal Democrat in tow. And since Sarah has the sads and has parked herself on the couch eating pizza, Nora brings her along too. On the bus, Nora spends the hours critiquing Kitty's talking points while Sarah watches her stories, and they both just annoy Kitty.

Justin is still trying to convince Rebecca to go to Haiti with him, but she won't. She took her Junior Vice President job and bought 12 new blazers. She thinks Justin should go to Haiti without her. Because spending a year apart is the best thing for their marriage.

Saul and Scotty are moving forward on their restaurant and are having the whole clan (except for Luc, who is too French to understand organic comfort food tapas) up to the Ojai for a menu testing. But before they can try the foie gras, they have to meet their government mandated community service requirement and suggest Saul get tested for the HIV. All the kids are doing it these days. Saul has an extremely adverse reaction to his test and sprouts a self-doubting soapbox and hollers at Scotty and Kevin for their cavalier gay ease. He storms out of the restaurant testing to pout. But then the next day he gets the results and he's okay. Thus endeth the annual PSA. Get tested, kids!

The Senator is struggling with his decisions. Dr. Anspaugh wants The Senator to give him the tapes of Skeezy No Bid Stanton bribing The Senator, but The Senator won't do it because Stanton threatened Kitty. The Senator wants to keep the tapes as collateral, and Dr. Anspaugh warns him to keep those tapes really secure. The Senator decides to trust Justin with his secret. He gives Justin the key to a safe deposit box and says that if anything happens to him, Justin should give the key to Kitty. Obviously, Justin finds this whole episode downright unsettling. Justin finds it equally unsettling that The Senator is taking a serious heart medicine and is hiding it from Kitty. As soon as Justin confronts The Senator about his heart condition, The Senator has an attack. He wakes up in the hospital and tells Kitty everything. They decide to release the tapes.

Nora has gone behind Holly's and Sarah's back and paid for additional drilling at Narrow Lake. She is just so sure that some good will come of it. Sarah doesn't appreciate it, though, because she can't move on if Nora won't. But no one wants to move on when Nora's drillers hit pay dirt or, rather, pay water. Yep the ladies are in the water business now. They have a wet T-shirt contest to celebrate, obvi.

After the restaurant tasting, the entire Walker clan (plus Holly) is driving home from the Ojai house in a big old caravan of family. Justin and Rebecca are the last out of the house. So they are the last to the wreck site. Everyone they know and love has been in a horrible pile-up. There is glass and metal and flame everywhere. Scotty and Kevin struggle out of the car, hurt but walking; Sarah and Nora are stunned and bloodied. Saul is covered in blood, but when Kevin goes to help him, Saul barks: NO! You can't! Because Saul lied, and he is HIV positive. (Get tested, kids.) But that's not even the real tragedy. As a former army medic, Justin is in high demand. Kitty begs him to come help The Senator who is really hurt, but when Holly is unconscious and trapped, and Rebecca is screaming, The Senator insists that Justin go help her. Justin leaves The Senator with a gaping head wound to save Holly, who is also not looking so hot. Kitty sobs quietly as she tries to make The Senator keep talking, but it's too late. This was the saddest five minutes of television ever.
