I'm Sorry but You'll Just Have to Try: Parenthood "A Potpourri of Freaks"



As the final season continues, this week's episode of Parenthood deals with sorrys, trying and the talk. That's probably the three words I got most out of this episode and it wasn't even bad.

Julia and Joel relationship situation has really affected Sydney this season, as she has been behaving badly to a kid at school. They tried making her apologized to the kid and his parents but that didn't turn out that well.

But sure enough the parents let them have it. Telling them that sorry isn't just going to cut it, not anymore. It really seems that both Joel and Julia's vocabulary is sorry. Soon they discuss about their living situation, are they going to get back together, yes or no?

It seems that it's very unlikely that it won't happen, which just breaks my heart to see it. They are one of my favorite Braveman couple besides Adam and Kristina.

Meanwhile, Max has a new friend, Dylan. She just transferred from another school. She seems to be an outspoken child. She calls Max by his disability, which just freaked the hell out of Adam and Kristina but mostly Kristina.

They talk during lunch, as far as we can see. Max was literally going to cut his hair because she doesn't like his hair and thinks that he's going look like a rock-star, which he doesn't want to be. Let's just say that Max has finally someone to talk to besides Hank and that he asked Adam a question that was soon to come now than later, what do you do when you like a girl.

Mostly, yeah mostly is a good word to say, that this episode was focus on the recovery of Zeek as he came home from the hospital. Camille is trying to get him going, walk a bit to build up strength but he doesn't seem to want to do it. He just wants to sit and watch John Wayne blow stuff up.

Zeek shows his fears for trying to move, he shows his emotions when Camille is trying to tell him that he needs to move. The one thing out of all this was when Adam and Camille was talking and you can see Kristina just watching and listening to them talk and from that look on Kristina that you know what was going to happen next.

Kristina talks to Zeek about recovering, getting a move and saying that the one thing that pissed her off was when people starts to help you and say the word we into every sentence. There's a real connection between them, with her cancer and his heart surgery those two can see eye to eye.

And eventually, Zeek starts to get up and walk, Kristina and him walk around the block. As they come back to the house, Zeek got nervous again seeing those steps but with the hold of Kristina they went for it.

Another thing: Hank has finally gotten through to his wife but given his two cents in about what's going on. Apparently, his ex didn't like Sarah being around when their daughter is with him but that all changed for the best. But probably not for Sarah to say.

This episode reminded me of when my grandfather has his heart surgery and the recovery he had to go through was hell enough. I had a pillow in front of him. He had to have help every time he had to go or need to get some exercise. It really was like a flashback a year ago.

Next week's episode will have Amber falling in love with another person? That's probably what I go out of that promo.

You can catch "Parenthood" Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC
