Parenthood: Wash All Over!

Parenthood: Wash All Over!

So I watched “Parenthood” in the airport this morning. Yes, I’m finally home! I have a lot to catch-up on to. Back to last week’s “Parenthood,” what a powerful, heartbreaking, yet at the same time hilarious episode.

The story with Julia, Joel and Victor was infuriating and heartbreaking. Everything had been getting better, then suddenly Victor turned on Julia. When he called the cops on her for child abuse . . . Wow! Part of me was thinking this was all a test, that he was testing them. However Julia really feels that Victor hates her and is now questioning whether they should go through with the adoption or not. Joel didn’t want to hear that, as it’s been easier for him to bond with Victor than Julia. My guess is because Victor had a mom, but not a dad.

Drew and Amy’s storyline was heartbreaking. Amy got the abortion, as far as we know, and then broke things off with Drew. Drew however wanted to keep it and make things work. Why do I feel she didn’t go through with it, and dumped Drew so he wouldn’t find out?

Meanwhile Mark went to Sarah after seeing something was up with Drew and Amy. This made Mark realize he gave up on Sarah way too early and he should have fought for her. Oh brother! Next week is the final episode of the season I believe. It looks to be a showdown between Mark and Hank for Sarah.

Max brought the funny with this episode when he hit puberty and Adam had to have the talk with him about what that meant, including personal hygiene. Max, having no filter, shared way too much information with his family about the changes going on in his body. However one thing he wasn’t ready to discuss with Adam was sex and girls. He said because of his Aspergers, he wasn’t going to be like other boys his age, and he wasn’t ready to talk about it. That was the one bit of sadness in his storyline this week.

  1. I’ve read on other discussions that people are feeling that Max isn’t having feelings for girls, but is for boys instead, which would be such a challenging thing for parents to deal with with a child who has Aspergers. Could be interesting if they go down that road!

  2. I thought about that too Faye, definitely a big twist especially since I think everyone thought Drew would end up gay
