Last night’s second season finale of Brothers and Sisters provided many reminders of the show’s greatness. The Scotty-Kevin wedding was sweet and romantic with just a dash of silliness thrown in. There were revelatory confessions, secrets and lies exposed, but unfortunately, there was also a little bit of very creepy romance.
Brothers and Sisters doesn’t get quite as much credit as it probably deserves. Every week brings a solidly entertaining episode. Viewers get to laugh and cry right along with those wacky Walkers, undoubtedly one of the most screwed-up and fun to watch families in TV history. However, the finale added an additional element they’ve been toying with in the past few episodes, and I call it the ick factor.

Previously on Brothers & Sisters, Justin acknowledged his feelings for Rebecca and did his best to avoid her, hoping to suppress what he thought was incestuous attraction. In an effort to ease Justin's grief, Rebecca revealed the truth about her parentage and Justin immediately compared Rebecca to her lying mother and kicked her out of the house. In the wake of Ojai's catastrophic business deal, Sarah took all the blame for Saul's hasty decision regarding the company's expansion into China. Help came in the form of a merger with Walker Landing, thanks to Holly's devious scheme to bring down the Walkers. With the bank calling in its $20 million loan in 48 hours, Ojai had no option but to agree to the terms that made Holly chairman and CEO of both the vineyard and William's company. Moreover, Saul told Kevin the truth about his sexual identity, and Kevin made a heartwarming proposal to Scotty.

Scotty Wandell (Luke Macfarlane) and Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) have come a long way since they first met. What started out as a professional relationship between a lawyer and a key witness has eventually budded into a romantic affair that has endured many storms. In the most recent episode of Brothers & Sisters, the gay couple has decided to take the next big step in their relationship as Kevin proposed and Scotty said yes.
Although homosexual relationships aren't prohibited on TV, only a number of shows have incorporated gay romantic scenes in their storylines. And because of this, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) compliments Brothers & Sisters and its home network ABC for giving importance to Kevin and Scotty's love story.
