Kevin has crashed Nora's benefit and didn't bother putting on a tuxedo or anything. This must be humiliating for Nora. Kevin has cornered The Senator and is making him watch the YouTube and offering his commentary, MST3K-style. He thinks The Senator's amazingly patriotic anti-hate let-freedom-ring speech just bankrolled Henderson's campaign. All the xenophobic race-baiters in the far right wing are going to by dying to ante up their paychecks to get this guy as governor. The problem is, The Senator doesn't really care. He stands by what he said. He doesn't care about the primary. He doesn't care about the general election. No one knows if they will be here tomorrow. He doesn't care about the future other than what it is like for his son. What if Evan never knew what his dad really thought? He's not backing down. Kevin feels as cheap as a nickel slot after that slapdown.
Back in the bathroom, Nora dabs the tears off of Kitty's cheeks. She doesn't care that Kitty met a woman with a type A personality who gave up chemo and didn't lose her hair -- there are supermodels who eat buckets of chicken everyday and still lose weight. They are just freaks of nature. Kitty wails that she wants to be a freak of nature too! There is a loud banging at the door and despite Nora's shout that the bathroom is out of order, Sarah kicks down the blockade, through the door, and sees Kitty's scalp and gasps. Kitty hears her and starts crying again. Now that she is losing her hair, everyone will know she has cancer. She can't pretend anymore. Nora reminds her that anyone who loves her doesn't see Cancer Girl when they look at her, they see Kitty. They are there for her. She knows they are there for her, because Nora is sitting on her hand. She smiles, but it quickly fades when Sarah suggests that she should go back out to the benefit, because The Senator is worried. She can't go outside with her scalp showing! Nora tentatively and tenderly fixes her hair to cover the bald spot. Propped up between Sarah and Nora, Kitty walks out of the women's lounge. All the Walkers are watching the door intently waiting for her. It is really heart wrenching to watch her go from Nora to The Senator and beg him to take her home. He holds her sweetly and reminds her that he has her back. Doe someone have a tissue? By the way, Sarah looks really lovely this evening in a form-fitting purple dress, so why was she wearing that heinous brown shirt earlier if she wasn't having a fat day? She really looks great. In fact the only thing that would complete the look is a hot Frenchman on her arm. Where the heck is Luc? Is he not worthy of being her escort? Did she leave him at home with the kids? Is he really the au pair? Ooh Sarah is having an affair with an au pair. How bourgeoisie of her!
