Brothers & Sisters Episode 4.09 Pregnant Pause

Wine of the Week: 2007 Departure Wine Company, Alta Mesa Vineyard Grenache - With last week's Bon Voyage to Luc, this week we can focus on something French that is thriving in California... Grenache! The Alta mesa Vineyard in Santa Barbara county is farmed by Dave Corey of Core Wines, a Rhone varietal fanatic! He sells small amounts of his coveted fruit to the Departure Wine Company for this delicious offering. Spicy, and rich, Grenache from Santa Barbara County is often overlooked but can be a great alternative to Pinot Noir and Syrah and this week alternative is the way to go with Nora's new boyfriend, secret pregnancies, and unfunded weddings... Cheers!

Kitty walks in on Nora and Simon...in the shower! Awkward, but funny. She spills this steamy tidbit to Sarah, who is still smarting from Luc's departure. Sarah doesn't trust Simon, so she does a Google search. She finds he was the defendant in couple of malpractice cases. When Sarah tries to tell her mom about the lawsuits, she's surprised to hear that Nora already knows. Nora suggests that Sarah's skepticism of Simon may be related to her broken heart over Luc.

David tries to get Holly to accept the fact that she can't pay for their daughter's elaborate wedding. He wants her to ask Nora for help. Reluctantly, she does. It doesn't go well. Oh, Nora says she'll help, but then she becomes critical about all the plans Holly made. In the end, the two ladies make amends and Nora cuts Holly a check.

Kevin and Scotty take a trip to the fertility clinic to try to make a baby. Scotty's sperm can swim like Michael Phelps, so he'll be the biological daddy. In other baby news, Rebecca still hasn't told Justin that she's pregnant. When Kitty figures out her secret, she calls Robert, who has just told Justin he's throwing him a bachelor party. Later, Kitty inadvertently spills the beans about Rebecca's baby to Nora. What is with this family and secrets?

Justin gets his med school midterm grades and they're not good. This bums him out during the bachelor party and he starts downing champagne. Kevin gets all riled up because Justin is a recovering addict. They get into a heated argument that ends when Justin storms out. Robert then tells the remaining bachelor party boys about Rebecca's pregnancy.

Justin admits to Saul that he's back on academic probation. He also says he misses Rebecca. He heads over to Nora's where the all the ladies have gathered for a pre-wedding get-together. Justin tells Rebecca that he had a drink and she blurts out that she's seven weeks pregnant. Justin is angry that she didn't tell him sooner. He gets even more upset when he finds out how many other people knew the news before him.

Justin has a heart-to-heart chat with Robert, who tells him that sometimes people lie so they can get through the day. Not the best thing to say to a recovering addict. Robert goes on to say that he told Kitty she was beautiful when he saw her for the first time with no hair. But what he was really thinking is that she might die. So he lied. Justin wonders if he should tell Rebecca he's happy to be having a baby when, actually, maybe he's not.

At home, Justin and Rebecca talk. For the first time in a long time, they really talk. They are both feeling extremely overwhelmed. Rebecca asks Justin what he wants and he says for them to be happy. Then she asks about the baby. To that, Justin smiles and says, "Yeah, I want that, too." He hugs her and says everything's going to be okay. But we're not sure he truly believes that, as he still can't tell her about his midterm grades.

Sarah admits to her mother that maybe Simon is a good guy and she shouldn't push him away. But Nora has already semi-given Simon the heave-ho. Kitty and Sarah convince her that she should go with what makes her happy. Too bad Kevin stops by Sarah's office later to tell her that her instincts about the motorcycle man who's dating their mom may have been dead on. He thinks Simon may have had his medical license revoked. We hope he still has a driver's license because Simon and Nora are off on another wild ride aboard his hog.
