Nora's getting some steamy shower sex courtesy of her 40-year-old man toy and is thusly distracted from her regular perfect homemaker duties. Kitty and Sarah are very indignant about the resulting lack of milk and fresh coffee in the house, and really let her (and Simon) know it.
Unsurprisingly, the Walker phone tree is just afire over all of this, especially after Sarah finds a couple malpractice lawsuits against the poor man via Google, and acts likes it's this hugely incriminating find, even though everyone knows doctors get sued like every single day.
In other news, Matthew Rhys is directing episodes now.
Justin's grueling medical school schedule has kept him out of the Walker gossip loop as of late, and his sisters helpfully make him feel like a real asshole about it. Also making him feel this way? The fact that he's flunking out of med school because he is just really not cut out to be a doctor.
In Holly news, she is on a riveting pre-wedding diet. Also, she's still broke as a joke, so at Ken Olin's urging she goes to Nora to ask for a loan to help pay for the wedding. Nora's actually really great about it and runs to get her checkbook, even saying something to the effect of "Of course -- we're family" in a very sincere manner, but because Holly is Holly, she picks some non-fight with Nora over a string quartet or something and refuses the money Nora so graciously agreed to give her.
In side-plot land, Scotty and Kevin get their "little swimmers" (The Senator's words, not mine) checked out at a fertility clinic. Scotty's sperm "won," by the way, whatever that means.
In plots-that-make-me-uncomfortable land, Kitty figures out Rebecca's knocked up when a seamstress asks her if she got a boob job. Kitty, of course, tells fucking
everybody.
Saul, The Senator, Kevin and Scotty take Justin out for champagne and cigars for "the gayest bachelor party ever" (The Senator's words, not mine), and Kevin flips out on Justin for having a glass of champagne and Justin flips out in turn and stomps off.
In other news, Saul likes
The View, and considers it to be one of the best shows on TV.
Back at the Manor, Nora accuses Sarah of picking on her boyfriend because Luc left, and as harsh as that is, it's probably at least a little bit true. The nice thing is, at the end Sarah and Kitty come to their senses and stop bitching about the lack of housework going on in Walker Manor and give Nora their blessing re: shower sex with Simon.
Rebecca blurts out to Justin that she's pregnant, and that Kitty knows, which of course means everyone knows. He of course makes a big immature scene and storms out of the house. He doesn't think he wants a baby. Because sure, like Rebecca would get an abortion on this show.
Nora gives Holly the damn wedding money already, and the two of them bond over sharing a grandchild.
In the turn, Kevin suspects that even though the cases against Simon were thrown out, he may have gotten his medical license revoked anyway. Can I ask why they care so much? It's not like the guy has a domestic violence rap sheet. Just because someone turned out to be a bad doctor many years ago doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad person who could never make someone happy. Just let it go, kids. If the guy's a jerk Nora will figure it out. She's a grown-ass woman, for Christ's sake, and this is the kind of common decency you're always asking from her. Oh, Walkers.

Rebecca is flipping through bridal magazines as she talks to David on the phone. Quick question: In this flagging economy that has seen the shuttering of some great magazines (if you close your eyes you can hear me sobbing quietly over the loss of Gourmet), how do bridal magazines stay in business? What is their business model? Well, I guess if you expect every bride-to-be to buy at least one magazine before her big day that is one source of steady income. But do brides-to-be really make up a sufficient base of revenue? And does anyone subscribe to one of those magazines? I mean you only need one, two max. And don't magazines need multiple revenue streams? Doesn't everyone buy one, flip through it, and then leave it at the nail salon? Is it all ads? Before you answer any of these questions, be forewarned that unless your answer includes some way for Gourmet to re-open, I don't actually care. So Rebecca is talking to David who is nudging her to TELL JUSTIN ALREADY. She sort of shrugs, which David can't see because they are on the telephone, but since David has firmly ensconced himself in the Father of the Bride role, he could probably sense it. And I, for one, like him as Rebecca's trusted adult. And I love that she told David about this little pickle and still hasn't told Holly. Love it! At this point Justin arises from his med school induced zombie state and immediately starts (no, not hungering for brains -- that is SO three weeks ago) canoodling Rebecca while she talks to her dad, which is uncalled for in most cultures and while slobbering on her neck he simultaneously starts asking about sports scores or something like all he can think about besides memorizing hand bones is sports and sex. Rebecca hangs up on David, knocks Justin's roamin' hands off of her burgeoning bazoombas and ditches him for 'wedding stuff'. Justin sulks because it is his first day after exams and he is convinced he aced them all and he really wanted to get some pre-nuptial nookie. Because he totally deserves it and c'mon baby, don't do him like this! No luck, sinner.
Scotty and Kevin are in the waiting room of a fertility clinic and Scotty is nervous that he won't be able to perform in such a sterile environment. Hmm...sterile was probably a poor choice of word. Kevin, who is wise in the ways of semi-public medicinal masturbation after giving a helping hand (and cup...er, tablespoon?) to Tommy and Julia, informs clinical newbie Scotty that while he can't escort him into the room, Scotty should feel free to make full use of the clinic's porn stash -- guilt free! Scotty giggles like any man who just got the green light on porn use from his spouse. I mean PORN, people! When the nurse comes for him, Scotty jumps over two rows of chairs and knocks over a sad mommy wannabe on his way to the porn stash. For medicinal purposes, obviously.
