However Joe unfortunately is a schmuck :) There are other reasons to loath him other than he got custody. He was the one who wasdoing who knows what with other women, he was the one that wanted out but didn't tell Sarah until AFTER he had a backup (his ex). Now it appears he even planned to take the kids away all the time. I agree, it is interesting how they played with the genders.

However, I feel this storyline is realistic. Often times during divorce the parent who has been providing the primary care for the children seeks primary custody. Usually, that is the Mom and no one even thinks twice about it. It is interesting how when the genders are reversed everyone thinks it is so wrong.

Yes he did stay home w/the kids while Sara worked but they agreed to that. Where is he living? with his ex? What about a job? Last I remember he was giving out guitar lessons. I hope they don't go with, "she has to pay him child support & alimony crap". And as for Justin, where is he getting his pills from? Are you telling me that NOBODY has noticed the change in him? And don't even get me started with him flirting with the "slut" that works for Tommy. And the Tommy thing is completely dumb, he can't go from loving his wife & wanting her back to being so dumb that he would jeoporize it with an employee. And I hope that they bring back "sexy rex" soon now that his new show has been canceled. Other than that I do have to say that Brother's & Sisters is my all time fav show..

Hate: Joe. What a schmuck. I'm surprised he didn't try to get the house, too. (But it is interesting to see the turnabout here -- the roles are reversed here, with Sarah being the income provider and Joe being the stay-at-home parent. Would we be so angry if it was the father losing custody because he worked? I do like that they've toyed with gender roles here.) Hate: Robert for being a JERK. What wsa Kitty supposed to do, pull him out of Cram Fest to drop a bomb on him? He should've been mad at Travis for being an a-hole and not having any tact. Hate: Tommy for being a schmuck, too. If you want your wife back, don't be smoochin' on some other chick (especially when she's obviously a bit off balance). Dumb a$$. Love: Nora. The running to the pantry thing was great. Love: Sarah. Or, at least, the actress playing her. Well done! That final scene with the kids leaving was amazing. I was in tears. Love: Nora for showing up when Sarah had to pack up the kids. THAT is what a mom should be. (Maybe someone should have Britney Spears' mom watch this show.) I can't even get over that final scene with Sarah and the kids. That just got to me... This is such a love/hate episode.
