Luc. LUC LUC LUC. It’s all about Luc these days – and he’s not even a Walker! Luc was gone, then Luc was back, now Luc needs to do something quick to stay in the country. Now I know Giles Marini or however his name is spelled because he isn’t too bad on the eyes, but there are other people on the show. The one thing I am intrigued about is in the “info” preview it says that Nora reaches out to Tommy for help. Does that mean we see Balthazar Getty? I miss that guy and he hasn’t been in the tabloids in forever.

So, just as I thought, the show begins with Luc and Sarah having just, em, finished a fun session in the bed. They have three weeks before Luc will be sent back to France. Kevin is lounging in his pajamas while Scotty gets ready for work. Kevin takes a career assessment test online and it says he is suited for nothing. The only things he knows are law and politics and he doesn’t want to go back to either. When Kevin wants to have a morning rendezvous with Scotty before he leaves for work, they are interrupted by Sarah calling Kevin to beg him to help Luc get his Visa. While they’re talking, his cell phone rings and it’s Kitty asking him to go to campaign events with him because she hates her staff. He sticks the two phones together and makes them talk to each other and Scotty leaves. No morning rendezvous for Kevin. Saul is at Nora’s, still begging for her information on Narrow Lake. She still insists she knows nothing and Saul says he and Holly are not giving up on finding the property. The one thing Nora doesn’t want to happen is Dennis talking to the kids or Saul. Nora, oh Nora, just what are you hiding?? Rebecca goes to Ojai to see Holly and asks why she is at work on a Saturday instead of enjoying the weather with David. She begins grilling her on why she has boxes out of storage from 35 years ago. Rebecca begs her to share with her what’s going on and Holly finally tells her about the ponzi scheme where she lost her money. Nora meets with Dennis. Sarah is frantically running around her house on the phone with a mechanic when Luc comes to the rescue and tells her he fixed her car and also surprises her with a letter from the State Department – he’s legal now!

Dennis tries making small talk with Nora, even knowing where Tommy lives nowadays and Nora is highly disturbed. He says Nora seems tougher than she was back in the day and she wants to know why he wants to buy the company. Since Holly won’t sell her shares, Dennis tells Nora she will convince all of her kids to sell each one of their shares of their half of the company or “he’ll tell them what happened.” When Nora gets home from her disturbing meeting with Dennis, Rebecca tells her she wants to give her William Trust Fund money to Holly that Nora has been guarding over. Oh yah, it’s $2 million. Nora is against it and is argumentative and Justin is taken aback by Nora’s reaction. Kitty and Kevin are at a campaign rally at the Burbank Booster Club and as soon as she is introduced, she gets boo’d like crazy and people hold up signs saying she is anti-American. Her and Kevin are thoroughly confused.

Kitty calls Sarah about her and Robert being caught up in Luc’s immigration situation but gets her voicemail. Word has leaked that Luc got legal status and people assume Kitty had something to do with it. An old co-worker of Kevin’s has started a blog and that seems to be the start of everything when he made a call to an old friend at the firm to help look into Luc’s case. When Kitty and Robert have to leave, it leaves Kevin to help Kitty. He winds up staying to write a statement for her. Nora goes to Holly about the money and Narrow Lake and Nora is visibly upset about Holly telling Rebecca about Narrow Lake. Nora covers up … well, whatever she is hiding … by saying Dennis is a bad guy and she’s afraid for everyone involved. Nora is stunned that Holly is going to take the money from Rebecca. When Nora jumps at Holly, she senses something is wrong but Nora doesn’t budge and says it’s just about the money. Sarah and Luc are returning from a run when paparazzi are camped outside of their house, asking them about Kitty helping Luc get his Visa, calls Sarah a cougar and Sarah calls them a d*bag. Uh oh, this is not going to help Kitty at all.

We see a view of the Seattle Space Needle (must have borrowed that from the Grey’s Anatomy shots) and Nora comes out of the airport doors to Tommy. Well that’s kind of a random shocker! Tommy has gotten a job at a grocery store wholesaler and things with Julia are worse than before and he barely gets to see Elizabeth. Pretty much, his life sucks. Nora suggests maybe Tommy should come home. He can sense that something is wrong with his mother and she tells him about Dennis wanting to buy Ojai. He gets this “oh dear” look on his face and she asks him if he knows what Narrow Lake is. Oh dear … please don’t tell me Dennis is Tommy’s father?? Anyhoo, back in Luc-land, the new rumor is that Luc is a gay porn star and Kitty and Sarah are arguing over the situation. Kevin tries to stop them from fighting and they all decide to meet in person at Nora’s. Tommy says Dennis must have a lot of dirt on William to make a big threat like this and she needs Tommy to come home to convince Sarah to sell her shares of the company. Nora begs him and tells him she has no one else to turn to. He says he’ll sell his shares but won’t go back to CA with her because it’s the place where everything in his life went wrong. When everyone gets to Nora’s, the place is freezing cold and she is not there and Justin is freaking out about where she could be. Justin has been there waiting all day when Kevin and Sarah show up for their “meeting” with Kitty. Justin goes down the list of rumors that have been posted of Luc. They come upon the website freeluc.com, dedicated to freeing Luc from the “claws” of Sarah. Kitty apologizes to Sarah, but not in the nicest way. Kitty wants an apology from Sarah but refuses. Justin tries to be the mediator and Kevin says he deserves the apology when Luc walks in and tells them one of the rumors is true – the whorehouse one. Everyone bows their heads and sighs.

Luc explains the situation to Sarah. As a young boy he was sent to live with his uncle and worked in the whorehouse. He ran errands and swept the floors, but that was it. Luc feels bad for everything he has put Sarah and Kitty through. Kitty is at home watching the Sarah drama on TV when Robert comes home and has already heard the brothel rumor when he tells Kitty to call Sarah – and that Luc’s Visa has been revoked (so they’re back where they started). Kitty gets a call from Kevin to meet him at LAX and she runs out the door. Still in Seattle, Nora and Tommy are spending time with Elizabeth (yay!). Nora and Tommy reminisce about William and the person he was (not such a good one). And Nora says she doesn’t want the sins of the father to effect his children anymore. This convinces Tommy to come home and convince his brothers and sisters to sell the shares of Ojai and finally rid themselves of William’s mistakes.

Luc and Sarah are at the airport with paparazzi watching them and Luc says it’s time for him to go. They say their “I Love Yous” as Kevin runs in and stops them with Kitty in tow. Kitty and Sarah apologize to each other and Kitty says Luc should stay and fight for his Visa. Seeing the paparazzi gives Kitty an idea. Line of the night goes to Kitty! “Get me the d*bag!” They use him for Kitty to give her interview on her stance of family values and the American dream and other parts of her platform. When Kevin gets home, he finds out the restaurant Scotty was working for was closed down (so now they’re both unemployed) and Kevin suggests Scotty open up his own restaurant – to dream big and do what he wants to do. They watch the rest of Kitty’s speech, which is really great! Sarah and Kitty argue over politics in front of the camera but Kevin butts in and shows that they love each other despite being on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

No show next week due to a preview for Jamie Oliver’s new show.

So, apparently Luc isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I can’t wait to watch Scotty build his restaurant and I wonder if Kevin will have a part in it. I also am dying to know Nora’s big secret with Dennis and can’t wait to see Tommy come home! What do you think about it all? Leave your two cents below!
