I thought it was a great ep as well. I loved the entire show, and was mad that I didn't get to tape it to watch again.

The Walkers are definitely back! I just loved everything about the disaster of a dinner. Sally Fields knows how to play nuances so well. She really knows how to make a scene authentic.

The kitchen scenes were wonderful... So much fun, and so reminiscent of real family drama when everyone gets together. :lol2

I can look at Kevin all day and never get tired. I just love him, and love looking at him. :yummy

Tommy and Kevin look like real brothers. The casting for this show is fabs.

Also, I really liked how they used Robert's policial opponent's lie to fuel a fun and realistic debate about whether or not to tell the truth, which then led to all the truths being outted.

Me too!!

They didn't give Nora much time to react to Tommy's big secret, but I did like her volunteering to hit him for Julia. lol I don't like that Julia cheated as well though; I think it was totally unneccessary and just a way to mitigate what Tommy did.

I actually thought it was perfect because they didn't want her reaction to take away from the overall theme and how all the secrets all folded together. The affair is not the issue, but how it's revealed and the snowball effect.

I was surprised Robert's feelings about having a baby were brought out so soon. I would have thought it would have been used as more angst and a plot point waiting to be used. Although I suppose it can still be a problem since Kitty still wants a baby, and she hears her biological clock ticking. Baby issues are almost as big as financial issues in a marriage.

I liked Robert's point about how he's having a hard enough time parenting his own kids and Kitty's that there isn't loads of time. They'll work through it because they do really love and respect each other.

This is one of the things I like about them. They have a mature relationship of love and respect.

My favorite is still how secrets and discussions start in that family - little hints and innuendoes. So naturally everyone gets curious and then the ball starts rolling. They just can't keep a secret in that family. LOL!!
