Watched this last night. Huge waste of time. The previews were very misleading.

The only thing I liked about this episode was the chick singing Bridge Over Troubled Water at the end.

Thanks for the spoiler (I'm being sincere). They've been promoting this episode like crazy for weeks for that conclusion? I'll spend my two hours elsewhere tonight. The show is becoming increasingly difficult to watch although I love Sally Field.

Just an average episode and nothing more, was pretty disappointed when I watched it last night - only because of the hype ABC built up for it. As two eps of the show, they're fairly decent but nothing special like we were lead to believe.

Tommy should just leave all the evidence in a file that says "Incriminating Documents" so people don't have to do such hard things like open desk drawers or look down on a desk to find them.

I thought this was a very good episode! It was well written, well acted, and well directed. Sure, it sucks that they played up a death, that didn't actually occur. I was not disappointed with the episode, and really enjoyed it! It set a lot of things into motion. Next week looks like it's going to be great. This two hour episode really was one of the best of the season. I can't wait for next week!

Well.. at least Justin has a purpose in life now!
He's gonna be a doctor! I bet he's fully licensed by November sweeps!
And if anyone read next week's previews before this episode aired, they knew that Robert wasn't going to die.

Fake death aside, it was a really good episode. There was a lot of character development in this episode. It looks as if things are going to take a turn for the worst next week. I was happy to see that Holly found a man who could eventually keep her out of the Walker's business, but that just didn't work out.

I found the episode disappointing too and not just because of the Promos. It had Sweeps written all over it. It's as if it was manufactured just for the baby and the heart attack.

How can ABC get away with that shit? Nobody fucking died!! Robert is quite an asshole. He could care less that he just had a heart attack. He deserves to die on the campaign trail, or at the very least have Kitty leave him. And why does every show have to portray childbirth like a comedy routine? Those parts were really stupid in this episode.

I agree. Sounds like Politics is more important than his family. His character is very boring.

I find Kitty very selfish. She knew who Robert was when she married him. Unfortunately, his career goals are not that easy to schedule around. She was naive if she thought this career-driven man was going to totally change his priorities.

From EW.com
Question: Did I miss something? Where was the "shocking death" that ABC kept promoting during the two-hour Brothers & Sisters episode on Sunday? WTF? --Carlos
Ausiello: Don't get me started. Too late, I'm started: It was unbelievably shameful -- " ABC's deception paid off; B&S scored its highest ratings since September. On the flipside, no one's going to be stupid enough to fall for the promo the network has planned for the show's season finale: "Fugitive Tommy flees to Mexico and joins a cult!" Fool us once...
