Review | Brothers & Sisters

AIR DATE SUNDAY 2/21

Amid the behind-the-scenes drama (Rob Lowe is exiting! Calista Flockhart may be cutting back screen time!), this juicy installment suggests a creative upswing. For starters, Kitty (Flockhart) begins her run for Senate, and Gilles Marini returns as Sarah (Rachel Griffiths)'s smoldering Frenchman. While there's enough sap here to make syrup, this cast of pros helps make it click. (ABC, 10 P.M.)
