Brothers & Sisters Episode 5.21 For Better or for Worse

Sarah confronts Brody about the fact that he's her real father. She also makes it clear that she doesn't want him in their lives. So, of course, Brody shows up at Nora's front door. She knows Sarah doesn't want the guy around, so she asks him to leave. Reluctantly and heartbreakingly, he does.

This is a difficult situation for Nora, but there was a time when it all could have been so simple. We flashback to see a young Nora break the news to a young Brody that William Walker asked her to marry him. Clearly these two had strong feelings for each other all those years ago. Brody gives Nora a beautiful necklace so she won't ever forget him. The passionate kiss they share makes it clear that wasn't going to happen regardless of the necklace. Back in the present day, Nora invites Brody over to the house to chat.

Justin runs into a woman from his past. Tyler Altamirano just happens to work at the hotel Sarah and Luc booked for their wedding. Small world, right? It was also a small tree house that Justin and Tyler fell out of while naked all those years ago. Ah, memories. Justin apologizes for how things ended and the two agree to meet up after Luc's bachelor party.

Speaking of the bachelor party, Sarah and Kitty (yes, she's back) make plans to crash it. Guys love it when that happens. As for Nora, she comes clean about having a chat with Brody. Sarah wonders if her mom would actually choose this guy over her. Nora assures her that would never happen, but neglects to mention that Brody is coming over later.

We flashback to the day Sarah was born. William convinces Brody that Sarah would be much better off with him as her father. Brody felt he had no choice but to walk away. He loved Nora and she loved him. William made sure none of that mattered. But there's nothing he can do about how they feel about each other now.

At the bachelor party, Luc's cousins hit on every lady in sight. The groom-to-be, however, is busy texting his fiancée without ever getting a response. Kevin's texting Scotty about the kids and Justin is busy pulling up old pictures of Tyler on his cell. Plans to hit a strip club get put on hold when Kevin learns that Olivia snuck out to return to her old group home.

Olivia's actions are understandable. Kevin and Scotty jumped right into daddy duties with baby Daniel. This has Olivia feeling like a bit of an outsider in her own home. She thinks the guys don't need her anymore. Kevin and Scotty convince her that they need her more than ever. Fate brought the four of them together and nothing is going to tear them apart.

Justin returns Luc's horny cousins back to the hotel where he finds Tyler waiting for him. She's been doing a lot of thinking about whether or not she should mention that she's married. Actually, she's separated. Tyler barely speaks to her husband anymore. It's been a rough year. She's been waiting for something good to happen in her life. She's hoping Justin is it. The kiss they share may prove this to be the case.

Sarah has had a lousy night. She was unable to infiltrate Luc's bachelor party because she forgot her ID. She has a mini-meltdown where she calls Kitty a half-sister. Blasphemy! Eventually, these two "sisters" make nice. Sarah agrees to never utter the word "half" ever again. She also knows she has to chat with her mom. Too bad Nora's asleep when she arrives. Sarah probably could have handled that if only she hadn't been asleep in Brody's arms.
