Brothers & Sisters S2E11

"The Missionary Imposition"

This episode is one of my favourites, probably stays in my top five for a long time.

If I were Scotty, I wouldn't know whether I feel glad when Kevin tells about Jason's visitation. I don't want to be outside of this issue, but at the same time I don't want to see them together. Scotty has a little worry, I mean he was a little upset that Jason is going to drop by their place, but he loves Kevin very much, so he pretends he never feels about bad.

Scotty plans to come back home earlier because he wants to be involved with their party. I love Luke's facial expression when Kevin and Jason are talking about their relationship.

Jason: You wanna know why I did't call?
Kevin: Why?
Jason: I thought it would make it worse.
Kevin: Worse?!
Jason: I missed you too much, okay? I though if I could just focus on where I was and what I was trying to do that...

Luke is very talented, gorgeous and cute. In the storyline, I especially like Scotty's jealousy. I really understand his feeling.

Kevin: You know, you know what that is? That's the worst excuse I've ever heard. You made me feel like we were through. Over. Like I was some materialistic guy you had no time for.
Scotty: And you guys have nothing to resolve, right.
Kevin: Stay out of this for one minute.
Scotty: No. Why don't you just ask him why he came home? I'm sure you wanna know.
Jason: Oh, it wasn't for him, if that's what you're thinking. He dumped me, that's when I found my spiritual strength. Finally!
Kevin: So God won after all.
Jason: Yes, Kevin. In a contest between you and God, God won.
Kevin: Great. So everything worked out for the best.
Jason: Yeah. Perfect.
Scotty: Well, I'm really glad we had that talk.

I don't know if Scotty feels exactly as he said though, at least he finds out their relationship is over. That's good for him. Whole this scene, Luke shows very good facial expression. I love his acting! And I also love his voice. If he would whisper in my ear, I would melt.

Scotty: OK, If you're not gonna talk about what happened tonight, then I'm gonna go out.
Kevin: Nothing to talk about. You ambushed my tea party.
.
.
Kevin: What do you want me to do, Scotty?
Scotty: Be honest with me. If you're still in love with Jason McCallister...
Kevin: No, I am not in love with Jason McCallister! Why do you have to be so jealous?
Scotty: Because if you could see the two of you together,
Kevin: If you don't trust me, leave!
Scotty: Fine!!
Kevin: Oh, God! Where are you going?
Scotty: I'm leaving! Isn't that what you want?
Kevin: Yeah, it is. Have a great night!

I love this quarrel. How cute Scotty is!!!!!! But if I were told "If you don't trust me, leave!" by someone whom I love, I would be very sad and hurt.
Anyway, also I love the making up scene in the car next morning. Scotty is shamed what he's done last night, and Luke's facial expression is perfect! I can't think of any other better things than this.

Kevin: Wow, I love what you've done with the place.
Scotty: Yeah, well, at least it's mine.
Kevin: I'm sorry.
Scotty: No, I shouldn't have barged in on your tea party.
Kevin: Yeah, enough with the shellfish now. But you know, when you walked in, I was secretly so proud.
Scotty: Of what?
Kevin: Of you. Of how genuine you are and how crazy and honest and...
Scotty: Jealous.
Kevin: mmm..., So how do I make this better?
Scotty: I don't want you to see him any more.
Kevin: Even if I did, it wouldn't mean anything.
Scotty: I know. You're gonna run into him at family stuff.
Kevin: Yeah.
Scotty: I just don't want you making plans with him.
Kevin: Okay. Promise.
Scotty: Really?
Kevin: I don't think you get how much I want us to be together.
Scotty: God, now I feel like an idiot for asking.
Kevin: Why? It only makes me want you even more.

Wow! How hot their kiss is! And also it's very sweet.

Kevin: You know what? I actually do have to go to work, and I don't wanna get caught getting busy in a 1970's Ranchero, as beautiful as it is.
Scotty: I'll see you when you get home?
Kevin: Okay.

And the last kiss makes this scene perfect.

Brothers & Sisters S2E10

"The Feast of Epiphany"

Wow, the Walkers fight again!

Kevin: He wants to have some lunch.
Sarah: When?
Kevin: I don't know. He's being so vague.
Sarah: You didn't tell Scotty?
Kevin: Why would I do that?
Sarah: You should.
Kevin: He almost broke up with me after the wedding, because he's afraid I'm still into Jason.
Sarah:Well, are you?
Kevin: Well, who made you my conscience? What are you, Jiminy Cricket?

Jiminy Cricket!
Kevin comes back to his flat.

Scotty: Oh, please, let's not judge. I mean, we're accidentally living together. If Jason were to come home tomorrow, I'd be back in my Ranchero.
Kevin: Why... Why would you think Jason's coming... Why would you be back in your Ranchero?

Wow! Scotty might have a clairvoyance!

Brothers & Sisters S2E09

"Holy Matrimony!"

I was very worried about if Scotty would leave again. Kevin sometimes lacks his delicacy, he sometimes looses to think about how they feel about.

Anyways, why are the McAllisters so giving a cold shoulder to Kevin? They don't know the reason why Kevin left Jason, do they?

Kevin: Well, that was unpleasant. So, just ah, just be good to Kitty.
McCallister: Better than you were to my brother?
Kevin: That's unfair.
McCallister: He is half a world away trying to make a difference with his life. He is all alone and you dump him. Now it's none of my business, so I'm going to get through this. I'm gonna be cordial. And that's what we should do for Kitty's sake.
Kevin: Of course.

I know, it's not nice to dump someone on the phone. But does anybody know about Kevin called Jason twice a day and never got call back from him? I think it isn't also nice Jason have never called back, even if Jason has any reason for not calling back, it's not only Kevin's fault.
At the guest register place, Scotty is talking about the guest notebook with their Polaroid on. He didn't like his picture much, but Kevin doesn't stop complaining about the McAallisters treating him badly.

Kevin: You know, I'm done justifying this breakup.
Scotty: Then don't.
Kevin: Well, why am I the bad guy? You know, I didn't set out to hurt Jason. What... You know I'm not the only one to blame here. In fact, he's...
Scotty: Okay, enough! Done. Stop! I'm not here as a friend to listen to you endlessly go on about your ex-boyfriend. Because however you define what we are, we're not platonic anymore. And the fact that you're willing to obsess over Jason...
Kevin: I'm not obsessed. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.
Scotty: I'm gonna take a walk.

Kevin! You should respect your boyfriend more! You always think about yourself. No, actually your role in the Walkers, you always takes care of others, so that's why you are always clumsy at your love life.
And after Kitty's wedding at Kevin's flat.

Kevin: Yeah, I'm sorry. Look, I was, I was the worst date today.
Scotty: "Date" implies you actually see the person.
Kevin: I know. I Just... You know, I didn't know Jason's family were gonna get to me like that.
Scotty: Get to you? You were making death threats.
Kevin: Oh, yeah, come on, yeah, do I look like an assassin? You can't get mad at me for being upset at a bunch of people I don't even know, acting like I'm the gay guy who doesn't know how to commit.
Scotty: Then why did you stand there telling everyone we're still trying to define the word "we"?
Kevin: Because you said you wanted to take things slow, Scotty.
Scotty: You're not over him, Kev. At least that's what it feels like to me.
Kevin: Okay, maybe I'm not over Jason completely, but I am getting there. Scotty, I wanna be with you.
Scotty: Me, too. But sometimes just because you want something, doesn't mean it's possible.

Nooooooooooo! Scotty, don't dump Kevin, pleeeeeeese. I really want them together.

Readers' Choice: The Top 25 Gay TV Characters Revealed!

Posted byMichael Jensen, Editor on November 29, 2007

Fans of Brothers & Sisters cater waiter Scotty were heartbroken when Scotty exited the show less than halfway through the first season. After all, he had been the one to challenge Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) to loosen up his buttons and live life as a gay man a little more freely. And it was with Scotty that Kevin shared that first kiss that told gay viewers Brothers & Sisters was going to be much more than another drama chastely portraying a gay couple’s neutered relationship.

As written by B&S creator Jon Robin Baitz and acted by Macfarlane, Scotty is unabashedly gay, proud of who he is, and feisty when backed into a corner. After he left the show, fans pined for his return, finding Kevin’s subsequent relationships with Chad Barry (Jason Lewis) and Jason McCallister (Eric Winter) to lack the same chemistry.

Indeed, some started referring to Scotty as Kevin’s "Mr. Big" (referencing Carrie Bradshaw’s on again/off again relationship on Sex and the City) in hopes that Scotty might return. Scotty has indeed returned to B&S and just last week found himself again dating Kevin, setting up a possible love triangle with Kevin and his most recent boyfriend Jason McCallister (Eric Winter), yet another way B&S is breaking ground in portraying gay relationships on broadcast TV.

Brothers & Sisters Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) came along last year at a time when gay viewers could be forgiven for thinking they might never see another fully-developed gay character on broadcast television. Will & Grace, a show not without critics for its less than three-dimensional portrayal of gay men, had recently gone off the air and two new shows which prominently featured gay men – Crumbs and The Book of Daniel – were both cancelled after airing fewer than ten episodes. And most other gay characters on television were those relegated to only brief appearances such as Stanford Blatch on Sex and the City or Joe the bartender on Grey’s Anatomy.

And the prognosis for Brothers & Sisters wasn’t terribly great either as the show debuted with extensive rewrites of the pilot, rumors of on-set strife, and with Rhys stepping into the role of Kevin Walker after Jonathan LaPaglia was replaced.

But almost from the get go gay viewers found themselves watching something very different — a fully realized portrayal of a gay man who was kind, petty, funny, sexy, smart and not just a little self-destructive when it came to love.

In B&S’ first season, Kevin had not one, not two, but three love interests. Gay viewers, starved to see same-sex affection, were practically gleeful when Kevin kissed Scotty (Luke MacFarlane) not to mention when he later shared a bed with Chad Barry (Jason Lewis) with none of the resulting controversy and threats of boycotts that erupted when thirtysomething showed two men in bed.

Brothers & Sisters S2E08

"Something New"

This episode is also my favourite. Scotty and Kevin become closer again. I think that it is very loveable that Scotty tries not to relate seriously to Kevin. He tries to push Kevin back to Jason, he pretends it wasn't a big deal.

Kevin: That doesn't look safe.
Scotty: It lowers you blood pressure.
Kevin: Yap. So does a glass of wine, with far less risk of paralysis.

I like Scotty's shirt. Actually he wore it a couple of times more, in Season 1 Episode 4 and Season 3 Episode 10. Anyway Kevin asks Scotty as his date for Kitty's wedding.

Scotty: Oh, how appealing. A spite invite?
Kevin: No! Yes. A little. You know going to a wedding alone is torture.
Scotty: What about Jason?
Kevin: Reverend "God-Forbid-I-Call-You-Back" won't be there.
Scotty: Yeah, but his brother, Robert, will. What will he think?
Kevin: Who cares? Mia Tello's is catering.
Kevin: They're serving those little Gorgonzola and potato pizzas with saffron and sage.
Scotty: You had me at gorgonzola.
Kevin: Thought so.

Scotty! You were caught by Mia Tello's Gognzola and potate pizzas.
Then next day, perhaps, Scotty comes back from work with 'Sebastian'.

Kevin: Light some candles, I'll be right back.
Scotty: Oh, candles? I mean, it's just takeout when you think of it.
Kevin: Yeah, sure, yeah, sure. No candles. Ah, well, we can still have champagne, right?
Scotty: Sure.

And... After eating lobster

Scotty: Kevin.
Kevin: Umm.
Scotty: Kevin, go to bed.
Kevin: Actually, could you take your foot out? It's digging right....
Scotty: Oh, sorry.

Scotty:I should go to my air mattress.
Kevin: Yeah, you should.

I want to see it more!!! I love this scene. I probably watched this scene more then 50 times.

Kevin: Look, about last night...
Scotty: You don't have to say anything. I know what happened, you were vulnerable. Your boyfriend's a million miles away and I was a warm body after a lobster dinner. Add champagne and voilà. Mistake sex.
Kevin: What if it wasn't a mistake?
Scotty: Kevin, you don't have to make me feel better by turning yesterday's nostalgic sex romp into something that it wasn't.
Kevin: I'm not. Believe me, I'm not.
.
.
Kevin: Look, I know how I feel. So just let me feel that way. It hurts.
Scotty: Hey, it'll be all right, I promise.
Kevin: I'm not so sure.

Scotty tries to pretend it wasn't a big deal. He tries to push Kevin back to Jason. Kevin already realises how he loves Scotty, I guess.
At Kevin's office, he gets a phone call from Jason. He says he missed Jason, and also says Kevin needs to talk about something to Jason. We don't know how Kevin told him about Scotty though anyhow he did. When Kevin comes back home, Scotty is packing his stuffs.

Kevin: Cleaning or packing?
Scotty: Packing. A friend offered me her couch. I think it'll be easier this way.
Kevin: Yeah, you're right. It will be easier. But difficult is sometimes good, you know? Forces you to do things you didn't think you could.
Scotty: Oh, we can do it, Kevin. We always seem to end up doing it. What we never seem to understand is that it gets us nowhere.
Kevin: I finally spoke with Jason.
Scotty: Good, I'm glad, I...
Kevin: I broke up with him.
Scotty: Kevin, why do you always have to be such a drama queen? So he didn't call you for a couple of weeks.
Kevin: It's not that. Scotty, when I first met you, I thought we were too...
Scotty: Kevin, if you're about to romanticise what we had, just...
Kevin: I'm not. That's the whole point. Because what we had was.... It was messy. You know? We were hot and cold and back and forth. All ovet the place. But I wanna be back there with you. Because I wanna be honest about who I am.
Scotty: Did you tell Jason we slept together?
Kevin: Yes, I did. Look, I know I'm asking way too much of you. But like I said, easy isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I love this conversation. I want to have that one. Of course with Scotty.

Brothers & Sisters S2E07

"36 Hours"

Basically this episode is about detox of Justin. All we know is the fact that Jason never calls back to Kevin and the fact of Saul's sexual orientation.
There is no Scotty though, you can see his letter to Kevin saying

"HOPE THINGS WENT WELL. THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE HUNGRY. -SCOTTY"

with some foods, I guess this meant a lot for Kevin.

Brothers & Sisters S2E06

"Two Places"

Scotty wearing glasses is priceless!!

Kevin: Ah, Jason, I've tried every number you've given me, and I know I'm about to leave you the worst answering machine message in history. But I don't have a choice. Umm, there's no wedding, because there's no baby. Kitty had a miscarriage... so I'm sure Robert would love to hear from you. I'd love to hear from you. Anyway I hope you are okay, Bye.
Scotty: I'm really sorry.
Kevin: Yeah. Me, too.
Scotty: Is there anything I can do?
Kevin: Yeah, you can deflate the mattress when you leave. I tripped on it earlier, almost killed myself.
Scotty: I'm serious, Kevin. After everything you've done for me.
Kevin: No. No, there is nothing. Thank you for the thought, though.

The beginning of their relationship again, but this time is different. It should be. I don't understand why Jason doesn't call back to Kevin.

Scotty: Well, if you're feeling romantic about him, The Thorn Birds. If you're angry at him, The Exorcist. And if you're just in the mood for a good time, and my personal favorite, Glitter.
Kevin: Let's start with The Exorcist.

So, Kevin is mad at Jason. Of course I understand, because he never calls back.
