We found last night's Brothers & Sisters season premiere a bit underwhelming. The whole time jump concept felt either underutilized or just unnecessary, depending on the character.

Next week, we're hopefully back to the Walkers of old in "Brief Encounter," as the whole family attends a party for Luc's underwear ad campaign and Paige falls in with the wrong crowd.

Sounds like the type of event that typical the Walker shenanigans result from, so that's good. Meanwhile, Holly struggles with her memory, and Kevin is saddled with a runaway juvenile.

Finally, is Nora hiding a secret? Looks like it, but is it what Kitty thinks?
