In the fourth-season premiere of Brothers & Sisters, Nora and Holly team up to throw an engagement party for Rebecca and Justin. The happy couple turns out to slightly less that happy, however, when the stress of medical school gets to Justin.

Kitty and Robert continue to work on their rocky marriage, Sarah takes a business trip to France and Nora uses time spent with her own mother to realize that she's reached a point in her life where it's OK to relax.

In the third-season finale, many of the Walkers find themselves having trouble communicating. Nora struggles against the language barrier to track down Tommy in Mexico, Kitty and Robert can't agree on the terms of the separation Kitty proposed, and Justin and Rebecca can't quite get on the same page about their engagement/marriage. Plus, Kevin has to work through his beef with Tommy, Saul has to make a difficult decision about Ryan and Holly struggles with Rebecca's impulsiveness. So how did this up-and-down season wrap up? Let's find out.

In the penultimate Season 3 episode, Brothers & Sisters took just a second to let everyone catch their breath, refocus and think (or not, in some cases) before they act. But that's not to say the episode was boring. Kitty — with the aid of some William Walker flashbacks — comes to a decision about her rocky marriage with Robert, Nora is hell-bent on finding Tommy, no matter what anyone in the family says, and Ryan's "secret" gets out, causing a huge "Walker meltdown," as Robert puts it. Plus, Sarah deals with the news that Joe is getting remarried, Kevin battles with taking sides in the Kitty-Robert struggle, and Justin has maybe the best week of his life ever. All the details lie ahead!

Everyone's got something to hide in this episode of Brothers & Sisters, but before the hour winds up, most everybody's secrets are out of the bag, for better or for worse. Kitty continues her "emotional affair" with "hot park guy" Alec, but her puppy love ends up hurting her, physically and emotionally. In Tommy's absence, Julia faces foreclosure on her house, but is too afraid to tell Kevin and Nora why she can't accept their help. And weasel-y Ryan weasels his way into a job and weasel-y Holly's good graces by becoming her mole (thought I was going to say weasel didn't you?) on the Ojai board, but only tells Rebecca. All that, plus (two!) stuffed ponies, some airbag burns and even some tears lie ahead in this week's recap.

This episode of Brothers & Sisters definitely lived up to its name. Coming off a monthlong break, the show picked up right where it left off and threw in some raunch for good measure. Sarah was on the prowl, ultimately "crunching some numbers" with a steamy Ojai accountant; Nora was once again wooed by her British architect beau, Roger; and Kevin and Scotty were nearly persuaded into a threesome by one of Kevin's exes. Robert wants to move his recovery into the bedroom, but Kitty has a headache — and maybe an intellectual affair. Let's kiss and tell, shall we?

"It's all about family." While we've come to expect that sentiment from watching the wacky Walkers for three seasons, it was somewhat shocking to hear those words come from the mouth of none other than Holly. But in this episode, it was indeed all about family: Nora & Co. banded together to help an AWOL Tommy through his legal messes, Holly decided to focus on the "bigger picture" of Rebecca and David, and Ryan proved he was only playing nice with the Walkers to get more intel about how and why his mother died. Add in a lot of talk about burping, cancer patients and downright lying, and you have a pretty awesome hour of television. On with the recap!

Ah, the joys of bonding. While the Walker boys bro out with the Spring Break crew in Baja, Kitty turns to Nora and Sarah for comfort (and sleep). But while Ryan and Rebecca grow a little closer when Ryan reveals a dark secret, Kitty and Robert seem to grow further and further apart. Read on for details on how it all worked out.

After the much-debated movie event of a week ago, Brothers & Sisters returned to its soapy best — and no one was safe. When we were last with the Walkers, they were swimming their way through "Troubled Waters." But now that they've each found the shore, they realize they're not all standing on the same side of the river. It's Tommy vs. Holly, Justin vs. Rebecca, Kitty vs. Robert, and Nora vs. the World (or at least the bulk of her family). But as the episode poignantly reminds us, in battles of the heart, most often there are no winners, only casualties. Did anyone survive? Let's find out.

Sally Field, Brothers & Sisters
The waters were troubled for plenty of Walkers in this episode, but for viewers, the two-hour Brothers & Sisters movie event was probably just troubling. The episode — which saw Kitty and Robert's adopted baby born, Rebecca and Justin reunited, Tommy land in hotter water than he ever imagined, and Robert's campaign hitting several dire speed bumps — rarely dragged and delivered plenty of dramatic, emotional punches. But what about that mysterious death? Read on for your (probably unsatisfying) answers.
