Parenthood: Season 3, Episode 9 “Sore Loser” (B+)
This was definitely an episode abut parenthood, demonstrating one instance of a child being irresponsible, another of a child treating others poorly, and another of a child being treated poorly by others. Of the three, Drew’s D in math was hardly the most serious, and mostly involved Sarah getting some unsolicited but meaningful advice from Camille and from Mark. Amber was the more problematic child, so I have faith that Sarah and Drew will be just fine, especially considering the fact that she was able to apologize to him even if that’s not what she wanted to do. Sydney’s inability to lose led to quite the temper tantrum, and we haven’t really seen Joel and Julia have to resort to discipline up until this point. Fortunately, it seems that she’s getting better at losing, going so far as to shake her grandfather’s hand after admitting defeat. Max getting made fun of at school behind his back is sad, and good for Kristina for taking a stand and yelling at Louis, and hopefully it won’t backfire with even harsher treatment for Max. I sure hope that Adam’s accidental indiscretion – which was more Rachel’s fault anyway – doesn’t get him in trouble, especially considering just how quickly he stopped it from turning into something. Drew seems to be finding young love in the form of Amy, and if he’s lucky, he’ll have just as many lines in subsequent episodes as he’s been given in recent hours, and his relationship might actually last a decent time.
