Brothers & Sisters "season finale: highway to fate:

The question we've all been pondering for the last five months - exactly how Rob Lowe's character Robert McCallister went to the show to leave - was finally answered with "Last night, Brothers & Sisters" season finale. The popular senator met his demise on a piece of highway with Kitty by his side after a large truck lost control and crashed into their SUV. I and many viewers' thinking he would die from a heart attack appeared to be obvious. The show acknowledged the theory, it has an arrhythmia scare the night before the accident, but it was a sharp metal bar, which crashed into the side of his driver's window that finally did him in. Even though we knew Robert's moment came, it did not keep those last five minutes of drama is no less shocking. It was the first time we had really seen one of the Walkers in grave physical danger and the first sight of Kevin, Scotty, Saul and Holly bleeding and the pain was quite surprising. From the moment that Justin and Rebecca raised to the wreck, the camera seemed to their (and our) feelings of anxiety when they encountered each stretch mangled car and started screaming hear familiar voices. They came to Saul's first car overturned. Scotty sat up dazed, while Kevin pulled broken glass from his hand. Saul stood a few feet with a cut on his forehead, a reminder of his new reality (more on that later). Sarah and Nora was shaken but uninjured as they rushed to help for more Holly unconscious who was sitting in her car to get. Then came Robert and Kitty's SUV, located at the belly of a big truck. Robert's last minutes were short and so, so sad. The excellent bar and a giant bloody head wound kept him still as he fears the day Evan was born recalled. Kitty the power of his fears quelled back and then he was dying, and while she pleaded for him to hold and keep talking, the light went out of his blue eyes. If there was one thing consistently Robert was during his time on the show, it was his devotion to his family, so it was fitting that the comforting memory he took his last breath. To dramatize the end, most of the episode into a relatively gentle pace, except for the revelation of two large pieces of news that will inform a number of stories the next season. Saul was the first discovery that he was HIV / AIDS. While preparing the menu for his restaurant and Scotty's upcoming, the subject was always tested after a man from the past called Saul his friendship on Facebook. He learned that the man at that time was an AIDS activist living with the disease, which alarm is beaten, he will finally be tested after all these years in the closet. Scared and still reeling from a life of shame and hiding, Saul lied to Nora when he first got the test results. But the news has sunk in at the sight of his own blood after the accident - the results were positive and he and Walker would face a whole new challenge come Season 5. The other piece of news was the breakthrough in Narrow Lake, now after the closure of Ojai Foods belonged to Sarah, Nora and Holly. Never one to give a good mystery, Nora continued to fund more digging in hopes of finding the true state value. Her efforts paid off. Narrow Lake contained an aquifer, a body of rock can cause groundwater - a gold mine in a state that frequently suffers from water shortages. Their financial future is assured at that time, and if the ladies dancing in the geyser was one of the great mysteries of the season finally resolved. Since the show plans to flash forward a year during Season 5, the questions in the final stage for the time jump. Kitty will mourn the death of Robert and we will know if they won the election. Justin will volunteer in Haiti, while Rebecca stays behind to take on a new job, making their relationship vulnerable. Kevin and Scotty are new parents, and Saul, a new battle to fight. It remains to be seen what injuries will keep Holly from the accident, but it's likely somehow affect her. Sarah and Luc will explore their relationship further and Nora remains rock keep it all together. I think to do is flash a brilliant move for the show. After a lackluster third season, "Brothers & Sisters" proved his mettle with the fourth, and this new perspective gives viewers even more incentive to watch. Rob Lowe will be sorely missed but the Walkers will trudge through, because this surprising new events leaves open future possibilities of danger and excitement.
