Parenthood: Season 4, Episode 8 “One More Weekend with You” (B+)
This was a great episode was couples, highlighting a handful of different cases all dealing with vastly different situations. Amber tagging along with Ryan on his road trip to the funeral of his army buddy was probably the most moving. Amber supporting Ryan after he beat up his loudmouthed friend was nice, and their romantic stop at the beach on the way home indicates that this relationship is getting serious fast. Kristina’s declining condition was difficult to watch, especially with Max being selfish with his friend over and Adam struggling to stay sane in the midst of it all. Going over to Crosby’s so that his young guest could argue in favor of Jar Jar Binks and he could procure some well-hidden pot for Kristina was great, and it was good to see Adam and Kristina having a fun time smoking it and relaxing. Mark catching Drew having sex with Amy led to an extremely awkward but strong, on Mark’s part, talk, and it’s a shame that Sarah got the truth out of Mark so easily and then listened to Hank about how to handle it rather than discuss it with her fiancé. Sydney’s temper was inevitable, and Joel and Julia handled it maturely. I liked Julia’s reference to her crowded Braverman childhood, something which might make an equally compelling show. Jasmine and Crosby’s latest fight was nothing new, and it was nice to see them both thrive with company over and jointly celebrate their hosting success after it ended rather than continue bickering.
