Brothers & Sisters Grapes of Wrath

Season 1,  Episode 24 | Original Airdate: May 06, 2007

After some initial attempts to get out of going, the Walker clan turns out in force for the opening of the Walker Landing winery, Tommy's joint venture with Holly. Of course, everyone else's subplots take away from Tommy's big moment -- Joe accompanies Sarah, to show the family he's "in it," but gets the icily tactless reception you'd expect from the Walkers, who are kind of judgy to Sarah about the fact that she hasn't left him; Kitty, still damage-controlling her proposal to Robert, accidentally takes three prescription painkillers of Kevin's and passes out, but not before telling him she proposed, which of course he lets slip to everyone else even though Kitty told him to keep it secret because she doesn't want Sarah to feel bad; Holly is an imperious bitch to Nora about Rebecca staying at the Walker manse, and then openly hits on Professor Coyote, who's there as Nora's date, which prompts Saul, who is quite nattily attired in seersucker, to be an imperious bitch to Holly. Which is awesome. Throughout all of this, we get the occasional foreshadowing of fetal trouble, with Julia making puzzled faces but then saying the twins are just kicking her (and us…we saw the previews, missy) in the ribs.

After Nora finds out Holly and Coyote went on a walk in the vineyard -- during which the man could not be more cheesy with the poetry quotations -- and shared a kiss, she confronts Holly in the kitchen, and the gloves are off, Nora calling Holly a scheming hooker, Holly calling Nora a self-righteous bore, each telling the other that William wanted to be with her more. It culminates in a food fight, and once the women are both coated in food, they both start giggling…but Holly's laughter soon turns to weeping, as she confesses that she misses William. Nora tells Holly something she "won't want to hear" -- Holly has to let William go. Holly in turn tells Nora something she won't want to hear -- Nora doesn't want Rebecca staying in her house. …Damn.

The next morning, Coyote gets the kiss-off from Nora, Sarah tells Kitty not to keep good news from her, and Tommy, who despite being the catalyst for all of this has as little to do in the episode as ever, gets a fat check from a Texan investor, who says the best wine is made by crazy people. It looks like everything's turning up Walkers, but then Julia goes into premature labor, and we fade out on her crying and gabbling that it's too soon while Justin tells her not to push.
