It's Halloween. Kevin represents Sarah in her divorce proceedings with Joe. Because California is a community property state, assets are split evenly (meaning Joe gets half of Sarah's stock in Ojai). Everything seems to be going as planned but then Joe's lawyer throws down the gauntlet--Joe wants permanent majority custody of Paige and Cooper, Monday through Friday. Sarah is absolutely stunned (they had no prior notice of this demand); Kevin defends his sister against accusations that she is too overwhelmed with work and then quickly puts an end to the meeting. Later, we're at a courtroom hearing for temporary full custody. After Kevin notes that members of Sarah's extended family have all submitted letters concerning her parenting ability, the judge permits Sarah to make a personal statement. She tearfully says that she knows she's a good mother to both her children, and asks the judge to please not punish her for trying to both work and parent. The judge says he will contact the parties shortly with his decision. In other news, the entire family gathers in the Walker living room at night to watch McCallister debate his primary opponent. They discuss a litany of political issues, while the various Walkers react to the proceedings on TV. We learn that Kitty is pro-choice, but that Robert does not personally believe in abortion (due to religious beliefs) but thinks it should be left up to the states to decide. Robert takes heat for his allegedly liberal viewpoints, but he stands firm and tries to appeal to the center. (wikipedia.org)
