LOFL! Kevin singing karaoke was hilarious! He really does need to loosen up. It's no fun being so uptight all the time!

So what was up with Rebecca staring at the old and current photos of her mom at the end?

Too bad this was the last episode for the season. I imagine the writers will have some serious headscratching ahead, since they are losing broadcast episodes through the spring that would have dealt with the ongoing campaign efforts.

They will be shooting 4 episodes to air in the spring.

Loved Nora telling Kitty to suck it up when she was babysitting Robert's kids.

Love the bar scenes with Kevin and Sarah. Great stuff.
Had kinda hoped that Sarah would Karaoke an Abba song like she did in Muriel's Wedding. Maybe next time.
Great show.

I was surprised to see Kitty in bed cuddling the kids. Didn't the daughter hate her before and resented her for marrying her dad? I am glad they seem to be getting along now but it seemed like a sudden turn.

I was thinking of Muriel's Wedding too during the karaoke scene.

I was also wondering why Rebecca was staring at her mom's pictures. I think she still wonders who her father is, but not sure why she was staring at her mom's picture. She turned it over and noticed there was no date. Do you think maybe she is doubting her mother's timeline? It would make sense for her mother to put paternity on the rich guy and in character for her --but everyone made such a huge deal at first at how much Rebecca looked like Mr. Walker. I am wondering if she is going to try and get a DNA sample from Justin. That would be hilarious if she found out she wasn't related to Justin after all and they started dating.

Same question. My only guess is that she's doubting the timeline.

Before the inevitable paternity/DNA testing, I half-expected Lena to make a pass at Rebecca as Lena's been going through the Walker siblings like cheap romance novels.

Who would have predicted Keith Mars hooking up with Arvin Sloane?

Hope they can wrap things up with the last four episodes yet to be completed. I'm guessing the campaign stuff will run until next fall? Kind of odd considering McCallister is not a real candidate, but then again David Palmer wasn't the President except in the 24-iverse either. Somehow doubt they're going to get Kitty into the White House though...

If Robert McAlister wins the presidency on this show, it's like Greg Berlanti just couldn't shake "Jack and Bobby" from his soul.

This show is obviously fictional: the governor of Michigan was male, a Republican, and Michigan's primary actually mattered to the race.

It is kind of funny though that he won Michigan; so did Romney. McCallister seems rather Romney-esque.
