Heartache and Regrets: Parenthood:

It's never easy getting your first heart broken by someone you really love. This week's Parenthood dealt with Max's first ever heartache and for Max's case, it didn't go so well.

We all know that Max has a crush on Dylan and we think that its the best thing that we've seen of growth as a character to make this development. When Max goes to his mom and ask her for advice about how to ask someone out. Kristina tells him to just be himself and ask her.

During school, probably during break or lunch, Max was looking for Dylan. He looked everywhere until someone told him she was in the kitchen. As he went into the kitchen, he saw her with someone else kissing and that turned love into heartache.

Max then went to Kristina and asked her to ex-spell a student for the things that Max thought of, but he did tell her he saw Dylan and the boy kissing. Later that after noon, Max then passes out flyers asking everyone to ex-spell the student.

Soon Dylan came by and saw the flyer and tried to talk to Max and then came the student. And after that, there was a rumble and Kristina took both the student and Max to her office.

It wasn't until later that Dylan came by the house and told Kristina how she doesn't love Max but likes him as a friend. When Max came down and saw Dylan, he went back upstairs and Dylan went off too.

The next day, Max thought up a way to get Dylan to like him back. He made a poster of photos and things that she likes, including a drawing she did and threw away. By the way, this was in front of other students during lunch so it was totally embarrassing her.

Dylan tried to tell Max but Max was getting louder and asking her more questions until she snapped and yelled out that she doesn't love him and will never will. That sent Max running out of the school and Kristina running after him. One of the heartfelt moments of this episode came when Kristina talked to Max and told him that she was proud for what he had done in there.

Meanwhile, Crosby is dealing with two things. One him and Amber are trying to save the business. Adam is away on business and so for what's been going on they've been recording jingles for advertisement. One of them was for cats, and the duo was meowing more than singing.

So after having such a boring recording session, Amber had an idea for her and Crosby to go out to the clubs and find this band that she has heard of and get them to record. Well, Crosby didn't think it was such a good idea but later he did go right after dinner with his mother-in-law.

As Amber and Crosby get to the club, two things happen. One that Crosby was searched before getting in and the guard find pot in his jacket. And two that Amber was having strange labor pains. Don't worry folks, it was just false contractions. But Amber does need to take it easy. But after that Amber told Crosby that she wants to keep the business up and had Crosby promise not to give up one it  

The other thing with Crosby was that since his business isn't doing well. Jasmine decided to take part of making money for the family as a file clerk along with her mother. That didn't settle in with Crosby at all, because of the whole male ego thing. But later Crosby does talk to Jasmine about it and that he tells her that he doesn't want to be a failure if he can't bring in the money and provide for the family.

And of course, Hank has finally stepped up and be a father. As Ruby was upset (again) about her mother no letting her stay home alone. She asks Hank for support, which he did. But later on, as he checked up on her, he soon drove to see and found a party going on at the house. At first Hank really didn't know what to do and hide at first but later on he went in there and told everyone to get out.

Of course, Ruby tried to tell him that she only invited a couple of friends over but Hank didn't buy it and soon she went up stairs but not before telling him that she hated him. But soon, as Ruby is grounded, she came over to Hank and since she can't do anything like she use to, her and Hank got to play some cards.

I thought that this episode was just amazing. I loved both the Hank/Ruby story along with Max's story. I felt so bad but proud for Max. For someone like me, I could never do what he did at all. Hell I could never do that now. I really was hoping for Max and Dylan to be a couple. That would be so happy to see Max grow up even more. But life is all twist and turns.

Next week, might be the episode that no one should miss. I know I keep saying it but heck this is the final season. So every episode can be missed. But we see a familiar face return, Joel and Julia's relationship: can it still be saved? And a moment that will have us grabbing a hold of someone.

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