Brothers & Sisters Episode 5.03 Faking It

There's a movie that came out a short time back called The Invention of Lying. We're wondering if they used a few of the Walker siblings as inspiration for the story.

Sarah is turning the big 4-0. At least, that's what Luc thinks as he plans her surprise party. Sarah has been lying about her age all this time. She has a total panic attack when she learns about all the surprise party planning taking place behind her back. She wants her family to help keep the lie going. Oh, come on, Sarah. Act your age…whatever it may be.

The real surprise at Sarah's surprise party turns out to be the fact that Luc has known her true age all along. She does have a driver's license, you know. Sarah worries that Luc may start to feel differently about her as time marches on. Our favorite Frenchman assures Sarah that his love for her will never get old.

Leslie Culpepper is really enjoying her house in Ojai. Who is Leslie Culpepper, you ask? Well, Leslie Culpepper is Kitty Walker-McCallister. Kitty assumes the identity upon meeting, Jack, the handsome handyman who comes to fix the sink at her rental house. See, Jack doesn't care for city folk who invade his heavenly hometown to "find themselves." Politicians are the worst of the lot.

Nora is considering plastic surgery. Kevin's always wanted to have his eyes done, but he's not invited to her free consultation. Instead, he heads up to Ojai to visit Kitty, who ropes him into her web of deception. The visit ends with Kevin setting his sis up on a dinner date with Jack. Kitty will cook a souffle. The only problem is that Kitty Walker-McAllister doesn't know how to cook a souffle. Sure hope Leslie Culpepper does!

Kitty's dinner souffle is the fluffiest, most beautiful thing she's ever seen until it starts melting. Then it becomes the flattest, most unappetizing entree in souffle-making history. Kitty has no choice but to come clean to Jack and admit that she's actually one of those Bluetooth-wearing city folks he can't stand. That's fine. Jack seems to like Kitty well enough to come back a little later with a pizza. Nice.

Saul helps Nora realize that she's a little lonely and rearranging her face isn't going to change that. Part of Nora's recent self-esteem issues may stem from the incessant berating she gets from her boss at the flower shop. She grabs a beautiful bouquet of flowers and starts walking toward the door. Nora tells her boss to take the cost of the flowers out of her next and last paycheck because she quits! Way to go, Nora!

David wants Rebecca to come over to see her mom. He thinks Holly is ready for a visit after hearing so many stories about her from Justin. Rebecca stops by to thank Justin for talking to her mom. But she won't step through the front door of their home. The family still believes Rebecca may come around until Justin reveals a secret he's been keeping. He and Rebecca are divorced. She filed the papers while he was in Afghanistan.

Rebecca is nervous about talking to her mom, but thrilled when Holly seems to remember the ballet lessons she took as a kid. Rebecca has longed to just sit and talk with her mom for about a year. Unfortunately, things go south fast when Holly gets confused and suddenly doesn't recognize her daughter. An upset Rebecca shows up at Justin's door. This time she does go inside.

Rebecca worries that if things feel too comfortable, she'll want to stay forever. Justin wonders, "What's wrong with that?" He knows Rebecca hasn't given up on them because she didn't tell anyone about their divorce either. Rebecca says she just wants to go home. Justin lets her know that she already is home. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for her mom. David calls 911 to let the police know that Holly Harper is missing.
