What I’m Watching: Parenthood


Parenthood: Season 3, Episode 14 “It Is What It Is” (B+)

This episode featured an unusually small number of romances, but the two that were featured were fairly monumental. Jasmine walking in on Crosby and Lily kissing kicked in her jealousy in a major way, and I’m glad that he decided to take the high road and let her come to the concert with Dr. Joe in tow. It’s good to see that he’s getting more mature, and I do hope that his romance with Lily works out, at least for a while. Courtney Ford really is superb on this show, and I love having her around. Jonathan Tucker’s also pretty great, but I’m quite worried about the fact that his character seems to be coming awfully closer to a relationship with Amber, which would not be good for either party. Haddie’s admittance to Cornell prompted a return to the age-old problem of her family favoring Max, and it was heartbreaking to see Adam and Kristina discuss how they couldn’t possibly pay for it and then heartwarming to see him decide that they were going to do whatever it takes to make it happen for her. Zeek’s news about his health is sending him headfirst into a midlife crisis, and Sarah’s meddling in Drew’s life with Amy is probably going to cause him to resent her. As her due date approaches and Zoe realizes the reality of what’s going on with her pregnancy, she seems to be getting increasingly nervous, and I do hope that she doesn’t get cold feet and break Julia’s heart.
