If that is the secret why would they tell Nora about it? Why is that something she would need to know? Wouldn’t it be better to just keep that to themselves?

Spoiler or id this your gut feeling? The ONLY way I can go there is if what Holly ended up w/ was suppsed to end up in a trust of some form for Rebecca and they can somehow make that happen at this point.

I’m going out on a limb and saying the secret Sarah finds out and she and Kevin tell Nora is that William was making preperations to leave her for Holly!

I thought Justin’s reaction was totally appropriate. I was furious with Rebecca when she decided to lie to stay part of the family. The Walker’s have been so good to her and have taken her in and accepted her. And now, she decides to deceive them like this? Very much something like Holly would do. I think Justin felt very betrayed. He just opened up to her and was completely honest even though it was a hard thing to admit, and then he finds out she has been lying to him about something this huge.

Now for the rest of my post. (I started typing and realized I hadn’t watched the full ep yet!)

Justin and Rebecca will work this out. I still think she needs to take a Walker break first, though. And they need time to get over the “sister” thing. But I agree that Justin’s reaction was odd. I guess I can understand the addict/trust thing, but it still felt off.

Rebecca having it out with Holly was OK. But as for struggling single mother — puh-lease. She made choices. She knew there was a possibility that David could be the father yet she CHOSE to cling to William and let him think what he wanted. And it worked, huh? She got gobs of $$ in the end, and now she’s got a nice, firm grip on the empire William built.

I am shocked that Nora trusted Holly at all. Hello?! What’s she thinking?? Must’ve been desperate to not lose her income so she can keep lurking around and sticking her nose into her kids’ business. God knows a job would seriously limit her crisis management time.

Sarah was rather pathetic, IMHO. If you’ve got what it takes to be a president, then act like one and find a solution. Seriously — she copped out on this one. And I am QUITE sick of the pouty face.

Now, I’m not sure I’m sold on Kevin/Scotty. It was sort of sweet and all, but they didn’t have me at that point. Kevin has given no indications that he really knows what he wants in life other than to be a lawyer. This isn’t feeling right — and I think Scotty is going to get hurt. Again.

Is it Sunday yet? I’m ready to see a better episode.

The only good part of Kitty/Mr. Gonna Be President was his comment to her to stay where she was and marinate. That was a pretty good line.

Also was booing Justin’s reaction to Rebecca- surely when he thinks about it he will understand why she did it.

Holly only seemed to want to help Ohai after Rebecca’s paternity was revealed- Clearly she wants to insinuate herself so deeply into the family/business that they won’t be able to kick her out when the truth comes out.
Yay Kevin and Scotty! So sweet! I actually like this couple.
Yeah- agree Tommy’s holier than thou attitude is unfounded.

I actually really enjoyed this episode, except for the Robert and Kitty storyline which is a complete snooze fest.

So with you on this one. Holly needs to be taken down a peg or 10 and then in the right spot. She may not have had a husband with her while she was raising Rebecca, but she sure as hell didn’t struggle the way she wants everyone to believe she did. And when William died, she came out smelling like a hot house rose.

I will say that I hope Robert and Kitty get pregnant on their own - it would simplify a lot.

Tommy has been a total prig recently. Its like he thinks is stuff doesn’t stink since he cheated on his wife with someone in his office, didn’t get sued for harassment, a disease, or slammed by his boss… and oy, btw… my beautiful family came back to me. Is is so jealous of Sarah running Ojai that he couldn’t see Holly’s plan for the farce that we all know it is??? She just wants to run the whole damn ship. They’ll all be lucky if they have jobs by the end of next year.

I’ll bet whatever Sarah finds is in those boxes that Nora dragged out to find a way to help. She confuses me. She never seemed to be all that involved in the business, but she sure as heck gets involved when there is a big decision to make!

As for Jason and Rebecca…. I see why they went there with his reaction. Before they revealed she was a Walker I think he had some interest in her “as a girl”. Then the big reveal happened and it got dropped. Is she or isn’t she and now he wonders again. But the crux of it is their whole relationshp has been based on trust and with some really big things - his drug use in particular. That honestly in their relationship is the whole reason he was honest with her about what he was feeling and made us all go ewwww to begin with. For her to have lied to him about this one would have been pretty much the ultimate betrayal at this point I think.

Saul. All I can say for him is Mid Life Crisis.

Kevin finally got it right… funny how sometimes it just takes the smallest thing to make us see the most important.
