'Brothers and Sisters' recap: Clean Sweeps

The only scene that left me warm and fuzzy this week was the one between Justin and Kitty. You knew what would happen — she'd be questioning whether the motherly ''cuddle gene'' skipped her, just as he fell asleep on her arm — and yet it was so sweet to watch that you had to rewind. You also had to feel protective of Kitty when she told Robert that she wanted to get married and start trying for another baby as soon as possible. Were we supposed to believe Robert when he told her he wanted a child now, too? You saw his face when he fired 25 percent of his staff (for not knowing about the King of Pork's shady dealings before they allowed Robert to accept funds from him and pose for a photograph): ''Look, I'm warning you,'' Robert told campaign manager Travis. ''Don't mistake my kindness for weakness again. I am the most ambitious man you will ever meet.'' Scary. And yet Robert tells Kitty that she means more to him than the campaign? I'm not buying it. I don't blame Robert for not wanting to raise another child when his job already keeps him from knowing the two kids he has. But I do think he owes it to Kitty to tell her the truth. Maybe deep down he's afraid what a broken engagement will do to his image, even though Kitty isn't exactly the most beloved First Fiancée. I wonder what Kitty will tell him at the altar next episode.

What do you think she'll say? (You've got two weeks to ponder.) And while I'm bombarding you with questions: What changes will Nora and Justin make in their relationship, besides him being man enough to make his own oatmeal? (Now that I've seen how gorgeous Nora's backyard is at night, I understand why he still lives at home.) Are Tommy and Lena really over (and will that affair come back to bite him when Julia returns)? Will Scotty's baked goods tempt Kevin into betraying the unreachable Reverend Boyfriend? And what's next for Saul?
