Never Say Never - Recap

Scotty & Kevin celebrate Olivia getting an 87% on her spelling test
(considering she couldn't read when they were in the adoption process).
Sarah calls, whispering about how she's worried about Kitty. She seems
to be depressed. Kevin leaves the call to take a call for Scotty from
Nora. He listens to both of them and manages to get his wires crossed.
Nora seems to have misplaced Brody's dog, so ends the call to find Lily.

Sarah reassures Kitty that Seth will be there for her, as long as she
lets him know she's interested. After all, that's how she landed Luc.

Nora asks Justin if he's seen Lily. He's wondering if Brody and Nora are
rekindling their high school romance. She blows him off, but he
continues teasing her. She discovers that the door is open, and Justin
blurts "It wasn't me."

Olivia's brother Brian arrives at the restaurant and she doesn't
recognize him at first. She hadn't seen him since she was five. The men
introduce themselves. Brian tells Olivia that as soon as he got back
from Afghanistan, he started looking for her. She invites him to
Tuesdays with Grandma Nora, but he has to go to work. He gives her his
number, and she promises to call that night.

Kevin follows him to tell him that he needs to talk to Children's
Services about contacting Olivia. She's their daughter now. Brian says
he wanted to see if she was happy to see him before he asked her to move
in with him. He calls the adoption "taking charity all the way" and
Kevin takes offense. Brian says she'll be fine now. He's back, and he's
filing to be her guardian. He wants them to be a family again.

Kevin and Scotty go yell at their caseworker, Jill. She apologizes that
Olivia's case fell through the cracks based on her age. She tells them
that she asked the judge to move her schedule around in this case, and
they will be heard tomorrow. The caseworker is going to call Olivia at
Nora's and ask her some questions. Scotty asks what their chances are,
and they're told it's very subjective, based on what the judge thinks
are the best interests of the child. Jill leaves, and Scotty wonders if
they're doing the right thing, fighting for her. That's her brother.
Kevin says they're her fathers, and yes. They are doing the right thing.

Kitty lands on Seth's doorstep, and he doesn't invite her in. She asks
if she can come in, and he finally lets her in. She just wants him to
hear her out.

Nora hangs missing dog signs while she and Justin talk to Olivia about
what she wants as far as who she lives with. She asks, much to Justin's
dismay, if Olivia would like to invite Brian over so they can get to
know each other a little better. Olivia thinks it might help.

Kitty fills Seth in on her health scare. He can't believe she wasn't
honest with him. She didn't want him to feel obligated. Her not telling
anybody else, either doesn't make him feel any better. He's also angry
that she never called. His girlfriend, Berklee, arrives. She was one of
Kitty's students, and remembers that they used to date. She invited
Kitty to join them for dinner, but she refuses. She heads out while
Berklee is a total airheaded cling-on.

Kitty fills Sarah in on how embarrassing that was. Sarah likes the idea
of Kitty joining them and putting the moves on Seth. Kitty doesn't like
the idea, so Sarah comes up with a Plan B. Sarah, Luc and Kitty should
go to dinner at the same restaurant. Kitty agrees, because she really
does care about Seth.

Kevin and Scotty confront Nora about inviting Brian over. They are
really unamused that she interfered. Nora stands her ground. Kevin
doesn't want Nora telling Kitty or Sarah.

In the judge's chambers, Kevin presents his case. The judge denies his
motion to dismiss and hears Brian's case. All he has is words, and a
letter from his employer. He also states that the lifestyle they've
"chosen" disrespects the values he wants his sister raised with. Kevin
reminds the judge that State law prevents any decision being based on
race, religion or lifestyle. She's well aware. Brian asks the judge to
consider what the people in his life have to say about him, and let his
sister come home.

Nora leaves a voice mail with Kevin and is interrupted by a call from
Brody. She lies about Lily being fine and ends the call. Justin can't
believe that Brian is still coming for dinner. He's a bigot. And if he's
still coming to dinner, Justin is going to talk to him man-to-man. If
Nora can trust Olivia, she can trust Justin.

Berklee continues being a bubble head through dinner. She sees Luc and
Sarah. Kitty arrives, looking beyond hot. Berklee puts her claws out so
hard that Kitty joins them. She also takes a couple of shots at
"Barklee" and her weight. Luc is worried that all of this is going to
blow up in Kitty's face.

Justin welcomes Brian in. Justin brings up Afghanistan, and Brian just
looks vacant. He wants to see Olivia. Justin tries to talk to him about
what he said to the judge, but he refuses to discuss it, with a smarmy
smile on his face. Justin tries again, but Brian is stuck on being a
bigot. Justin asks if he'd still be doing this if Scotty and Kevin
weren't gay, and once again, he refuses to discuss it with a smile on
his face. Justin goes to get Olivia.

Olivia asks Brian about her family. Nora is staying out of the way, but
she is in the room when Olivia is uncomfortable about asking Brian a
question. She reassures her, and Olivia asks if she will still be able
to see Brian and Scotty if she goes and lives with him. He says Kevin
and Scotty have been very nice foster parents, but they are going to be
a family now. Nora picks up on his words, and finally seems to get it.

Luc and Sarah try to figure out what's happening at Kitty's table. Luc
notices that Berklee is hitting on him. Sarah wants him to take one for
the team. He should go to the bar. Berklee would obviously join him. He
smiles at her before heading for the bar. Berklee makes a lame excuse
about seeing an old roommate that owes her $800, and makes a beeline for
Luc.

Sarah texts Kitty, who points out Luc and Berklee. Seth realizes that
there's some sort of sting operation going on here, and becomes
agitated. Sarah tells him that this was all her idea. She really knows
that Kitty and Seth belong together. However, Kitty couldn't bring
herself to say that it wasn't all Sarah's idea, so Seth leaves.

Olivia asks Nora for a ride to the group home. She doesn't want to
choose. She'll just go be by herself so everybody will stop fighting
over her. The conversation ends when Lily gets home. She's not alone,
she brought a stray dog with her. Nora feeds her and tells the new dog
she'll be having a bath after she's done eating. They'll take down the
lost dog flyers and put up dog found flyers. Olivia reiterates that she
needs a ride. But not to the home.

Sarah and Kitty arrive at the courthouse. Kevin is waiting to hear the
results. Scotty tells him it's time, and they head in for the news.
Before the judge can rule, Jill arrives with Olivia and Nora in tow.
Olivia wants to be heard by the judge. Brian's attorney claims that
she's coached, but Olivia sets him straight. She has noticed that Brian
is welcome in the Walker family, but she'd never see any of them again
if she went with Brian.

The judge thanks her and is grateful that Olivia weighed in. She hopes
that the two parties will someday reach common ground. She's deciding
against the petition, and confirming the existing custody arrangement.
Brian walks out without another word. Kevin and Scotty hug Olivia. Nora
chases Brian down. He reacts in anger. Nora tells him that he can either
storm off into the sunset or be the big brother that Olivia needs. He
should think about it, but not for too long. When you're nine, days last
forever.

Seth arrives at Kitty's. They talk simultaneously. He tells her she's
beautiful when she humiliates herself, and he adores her. He wants to
give her another chance, but. She apologizes again for running away. She
doesn't want to do life alone. She's also an idiot who didn't want to
get hurt. They kiss.

Luc and Sarah chat before bed. He's happy to inform her that the gallery
called, and they're finally giving him his own show. He needs the
wedding plans to start solidifying. He's getting the impression she
doesn't want to marry him. She promises to focus.

Kevin, Scotty and Olivia eat as they wait for Brian. They promise to
keep trying to keep him in her life. She decides she's not hungry, and
wants to go to bed. When she stands up, she sees him through the window.
They hug. He hopes it's okay that he came by, and they say of course. Is
he hungry? Yes, so he'll join them.
