B&S: Justin/Rebecca Engaged, Other Stuff Happens

First of all, funny story to share.  So, I’m in an elevator with my aunt, who is also a big Brothers & Sisters fan.  However, she’s a Celebrity Apprentice fan more and therefore often misses some of B&S every week.  Anyway, in the elevator, I start talking about the episode and that Justin and Rebecca got engaged in the last ten minutes or so…

And the other person in the elevator, a young woman, turns to us and goes: “Really???  I haven’t watched the new episode yet!”

Oops.  Sorry about that!

Yeah, I realize I’ve stated previously that I don’t like Rebecca at all.  And I still don’t.

But…how could you not love that proposal?  When it happened, my reaction was a mixture of “Noooooo!  Rebecca’s never going to go away!” and “Awwww, that’s so sweet!”  I do love Justin, so I was still happy for him that things are finally looking up.  But, unfortunately, that does mean that I will have to warm up to Rebecca. *sigh*

At any rate, we now have the Nora and Holly mothers-of-the-bride-and-groom dynamic.  That is going to be priceless; I literally cannot wait for it. 

As for the rest of the episode, here’s a hilarious picture from a Popwatch article that gives a good overview:

Again unfortunately, the picture is like the trailer of any given romantic comedy – highlights the humor so that the situation seems funnier than it actually is.  While I was looking forward to getting a good chuckle out of it, Sarah’s anger at Holly totally ruined the whole thing.  Yes, I get it that that was supposed to be the idea of the scene.  But it came off not as “oh, that’s so funny how Sarah ruins the musical number,” but more as, “oh, crap, what’s going to happen now?”  I found more humor out of the situation from the conversation Holly and Sarah had afterwards with their mikes still on.

So, Justin, Rebecca, Holly, Sarah…alright, I’ll touch on Kitty, Robert, and Nora before I skip to my Ryan rant.  Basically, I agree with what it says in the article – a separation isn’t going to do anything.  While it was good that Kitty ended the almost-affair she was having, she should’ve had a long talk with Robert instead of asking for time apart.  I have a feeling that this separation is only going to make things worse unless one of them ends it soon.  As for Nora, I’m surprised she was the one to go down to Mexico after Tommy.  I thought for sure there was a preview a while back with Tommy talking to Kevin in Mexico, so I guess we’ll have to see.  In the meantime, I’m eager to see Nora track Tommy down, and how she plans to get through to him.

Now we move on to Ryan.  I was cheering when he stormed out of the unity dinner.  As in:  YES!!  Bye-bye, you wimpy Edward Cullen wannabe freak!  Go back to Forks, Washington!  Did you all notice how dark his eyes were this week, what was up with that??    

And then he showed up for work the next morning.

Dang, so close.   

I especially hated him when he retorts to Justin, “Then why did she kiss me?”  Really?  Dude, just save whatever dignity you imagine you have and give it up, please.

And that’s all for the episode.  I can’t believe next week is the season finale – I’m curious to see what plot lines they leave us hanging with for the summer.
