Parenthood: Great Sadness Mixed With Great Joy . . .
So what we’ve been expecting all season transpired on the latest episode of “Parenthood,” and it really sucked! Zoe went into labor, and Julia was there by her side helping her out the whole way . . . and I’m sure footing the bill too . . . but the minute she finally held the baby, it was over. Julia could see by the look on her face that Zoe was keeping her baby . . . “Julia don’t preach!” We’ve known this was going to happen from the beginning. I never got my hopes up, okay I did a few times, but I knew it wasn’t going to work out. That would be too easy, too perfect. Zoe . . . get out of town because I don’t want to have to watch Julia constantly seeing you!
Crosby and Jasmine went on a camping trip with Jabar, and of course they continued to grow closer. Jasmine had yet to tell Jabar about moving in with Dr. Joe. Crosby felt it would be okay, Jabar liked him, and he was good for them . . . blah blah blah. Crosby admitted he was angry though, he realized he had a great family and ruined it all, but they had to move on. Jasmine finally stopped Crosby from leaving and said she loved him and wanted to marry him, to be a family with him and Jabar. As with the Zoe situation, we knew this was coming. The minute Jasmine seduced Crosby and he stepped up and agreed to let it go, that she shouldn’t let this ruin what she had with Joe . . . we knew this was coming. I don’t feel to bad with Joe, I think he knew it to. I think that’s why he was pushing so hard for the house and for her to move in. I do feel bad for the Cellist that Crosby is dating though! But like Joe, she has to know too. You can only listen to so much about a person’s ex before you get a clue.
Sarah and Mark’s happy life keeps getting hit with sidelines. Last week Drew had issues with Sarah moving on and making a new family. Then Seth called, out of rehab and doing well. Oh no, hang up the phone! Now Mark wants to move to New York, which looks to be the nail in the coffin. We know Sarah isn’t leaving the show, but Mark’s character is clearly expendable.
Adam met with the guy who has been after him and Crosby to sell “The Luncheonette.” He first offered them a million dollars, but Crosby said no. Later he made Adam another offer that was too good to pass up. Adam said he’d talk to Crosby and try and convince him. Okay first, if someone wants to sell buy something at that price, it’s too good to be true. That studio must be sitting on a gold mine. There must be long hidden tracks stashed in it’s walls or something! Second . . . don’t trust Duane Wayne man!
Next week is the season finale. Damn that’s fairly early! The main even is Crosby’s wedding. However knowing the way this show tends to pull out insane cliff hangers, I think the real event could be Zeke’s health. What’s going on with his still hasn’t been fully settled, and I could see him collapsing at the wedding. Teasers also hint at something huge for Julia and Joel . . . I hope it’s good news! I have always expected them to get pregnant once they stopped trying.
I have been waiting for your thoughts on this! I was heartbroken for Joel and Julia but I thought the scenes were done very well. I really hope they get their baby but I think I would rather see them adopt somehow, the miracle pregnancy seems too cliche for me. (I know this happens in real life but it seems too easy for tv.)
I don’t want Sarah and Mark to break up. I’m torn on this one though because I love both actors AND John Corbett (who plays Seth.) I think I really don’t want Mark to leave the show though.
I don’t like the Adam/Crosby/selling story. They haven’t had it that long and I think the Luncheonette is good for the show. I agree that if they sell it will turn out it was more valuable or there will be something included with the sale they didn’t realize. I don’t understand why the show would just sell it drama free – what would Adam and Crosby do then?

I wonder if Zoe comes back with the baby after all once the “new” wears off.

That would be nice, but from what I read Zoe returns only to thank Julia and tell her she changed her life and blah blah blah.

I really wanted to see Amber tell her Mom & Aunt that she and Bob really like each other! I was waiting for Bob to show up at Ambers house again to tell her how much he liked her, and for Amber’s Aunt to get fired for meddling. Haddie telling her mother about Amber & Bob was horrible, I mean, Hello, look at how her and Alex were seeing each other when she wasn’t allowed, and then when they were allowed, she went to his house to sleep with him when she wasn’t supposed to be there either.
I love that they finally gave Max a Friend!
