Brothers & Sisters Season 4 Episode 8 [Video]

Brothers & Sisters returns with yet another new episode, and this one titled The Wine Festival seems to have a bit more of a focus on Ojai, which has been almost left alone in recent weeks other than a mention here and there. Other than the continued search for a mother for their child, and the new younger man in Nora's life, we jump right into Ojai, and its new wine. The plans are for unveiling it next quarter, but those are moved up after a taste of the wine. Sal wants to jump in with it and put it in a competition at a wine festival. The festival is only a day away though. Sarah's big idea is to ask Luc to design the label for the bottle, but he doesn't do that type of painting. She keeps pushing through, and he says he will do it for her.

The festival seems to only get more interesting as Nora ends up inviting the new man in her life when he mentions how secluded they are. She invites him, but she thinks of canceling on him, but her and Kitty make a deal and he stays. Scotty and Kevin aren't the only ones with baby drama. Apparently, Rebecca is pregnant, but she can't get Justin to come home to tell him. He's busy at school studying for a big test, which Scotty and Kevin try to pick a mother. This only leads the two into an argument, which also happens to Rebecca and Justin when he can't come home at all. Luc and Sarah also fight over the wine label, and he walks away from her. Could this be the beginning of the end of this relationship for Sarah? Her worry is his lack of employment.

The wine festival arrives, and everyone is on sight including Nora's young man, who she is immediately asked about. Scotty and Kevin now have twenty options, and with Scotty upset Kevin goes to his mother and then Sal. Luc and Sarah continue to fight when she tries to find him more work, but the focus turns to Nora again when she stands up to one of her friends about the man in her life. She even confronts him about why he is with her. He is with her because of the woman she is, and not how old she is. However, they have their first argument too.  Yes, everyone is arguing in this episode.

Rebecca finally tells someone she is pregnant, but it isn't who she needs to tell. I am starting to wonder here if this Walker baby will end up raised by its parents, or is the series setting things up for Scotty and Kevin. Am I the only one thinking that? By the next day, Nora and her man make up. The wine festival was a success, and now the new wine called Coastal Reserve, but we have a problem. Someone goes in and let's the wine out somehow. Ojai is once again down and out. While Nora fixes her problems, Sarah doesn't. Luc and her end up breaking up. He leaves to return to Paris with a few words of good-bye. The episode ends with Justin and Rebecca talking, and she still doesn't tell him she is pregnant. Kitty does let her husband see her bald though.

A chaotic episode of Brothers & Sisters with no new episode until after Thanksgiving. Yes, the first week with no new episode all season. Check out a scene from this week's episode below, and a promo for the new episode in two weeks when it becomes available.
