Last night’s B&S was an enjoyable hour of Walker insanity, mainly because quippy Kevin was back and Nora hit the bottle. The episode revolved around Kitty’s baby shower, which raised multiple issues. Issue #1: Should gay men be invited to showers just because they’re gay? Answer: No. They should be invited because they’ll be there focused and ready for fun and keep the guests entertained with witty banter like, "I am not gonna stand here and be interrogated by The View." Saul was offended that he, Scotty, and Kevin were invited and the straight men in the family were not. He didn’t come out of the closet to be a stereotype, he said. Scotty said there’s no one way to be gay. Kevin responsed, "Well, he’s managed to be the most dull, joyless version I’ve ever seen." Kevin is so much funnier when Robert’s not around. Kevin determined that Saul really was just scared of introducing his boyfriend, Henry (John Glover), to the family. To which I say, then don’t bring the boyfriend. Problem solved. (Saul did bring him and he survived his first Crazy Nora encounter. Congratulations!)

Issue #2: Can/should a woman start a new career when she’s expecting a baby? I feel for Kitty. She’s a woman who focused on her career for most of her life, and then the moment she decides to start a family, her dream job falls into her lap four weeks before her adoption due date. But here’s my question: Why does it have to be all or nothing? Wouldn’t this new broadcast journalism department Wexley University wanted her to be the dean of also need professors? Why can’t she just teach? After fighting with Nora and Sarah about how to work a stroller (that went on a little too long), Kitty realized her life was about to change enough and turned down the job. Robert was upset because now, it’s clear that Kitty is willing to make sacrifices for their family that he isn’t. She finally figured out that he’s running for governor, and it looks like next week, he’ll have to decide what comes first: Kitty or his ambition. (Though this series is guilty of making previews look way more dramatic than the show actually will be, so who knows.) Kitty knew Robert was a driven man when she meant him. I’m not faulting him for that. I just want him to consult Kitty before he makes his decision, like she did when she phoned him while cowering in Nora’s house before her shower.
