In the latest episode of “Brothers and Sisters” Nora went to Bakersfield to finally meet Ryan. Ryan’s father told him the truth, Ryan was hoping for answers from Nora. Ryan had clearly gone through hell as his mother died then found out his dad wasn’t his biological dad. He needed help, guidance, understanding. He reached out to Nora, only to basically have his hopes dashed. What he learned was that William was basically a jerk. He had hoped there was some reason William did what he did, only to learn his mom was one of many affairs William had had. Nora wanted Ryan to come home with her to meet his siblings, even buying him a plane ticket. At first he refused, but the episode ended with Ryan calling Nora as she was about to leave to the airport.

What did we think about Ryan? Do we love him? Hate him? He’s no Rebecca that is for sure. I think I need to see how he plays with his sibling before making my mind up about him.

Rebecca meanwhile went to New York to see David. She was doing some soul searching over what she found out about Tommy, yet at the same time running away from her issues with Justin. She just up and left without telling Justin or her mom what was up. She was hoping to make a connection with David, only to decide he was a bit of a jerk. He had some choice words for her as well. The two made up and David decided to return to California with Rebecca. Oh boy, a Holly and David reunion. I hope he gives her hell for something, anything 🙂

Holly meanwhile became suspicious of Tommy when she found papers in Rebecca’s desk (that she took from Tommy). She looked into the contract and asked Saul for advice. Saul tried to ease her mind, but one look at the contract and he knew what Tommy had done. He confronted Tommy, who admitted to what he did. Holly meanwhile went to a company board member who looked into it and found it suspect. They told Holly what was up, Tommy was making a move to force her out, and they wanted to look into this.

Basically from what I understand, Tommy has used company money to set up a corporation of his own. That was the front for the purchase of the orchard lands. The purchase price was shares in Ojai rather than money, equal parts of Holly’s and Tommy’s. Tommy however paid the man in cash, the shares went to this corporate front, which Tommy formed. Therefore all the shares go to Tommy, who would then have controlling shares in the company and could force Holly out. It sounds like fraud with a bit of embezzling thrown in. Tommy’s in trouble!

*Spoiler Talk!* Skip the next paragraph if you wanna avoid spoilers!

From what I have read, by the end of the season Holly is fuming when another Walker takes over Tommy’s share and control of half of the country. Who will it be? Sarah I doubt would come back. Kevin, doubtful either. My bet is on either Kitty or . . . wait for it . . . Nora! Would that be something as you know it would steam Holly.

Kitty meanwhile continued her book tours and interviews, while at the same time having issues with Robert over running for Governor and his lack of enthusiasm about telling her. She felt it said something about their marriage and the state of it. Well said! I loved that Kitty gave Robert hell. Meanwhile Robert was irked by comments Kitty made about their relationship and his run during her tour. He’s already gotten in hot water once politically when it was rumored he cheated on his first wife, he couldn’t have his second marriage painted badly. Robert ended up having some article Kitty did an interview nixed . . . and let Kevin be the bad guy and tell Kitty! Damn, I am really not liking what they’ve done to Robert. I’ve always had issues with him, he’s always been more about himself than his marriage, Kitty or her family actually. But they are really taking him over to the darkside now.
