Parenthood: Season 4, Episode 15 “Because You’re My Sister” (B+)
It always catches me off guard how this show ends its seasons so early, beating last year’s February end date with a January closer this year. Against all odds, almost everything turned out happily in this hour, which is a wonderful way on which to end things, though of course we won’t know for a few months if this show will be returning for a fifth season. That said, this would be a fitting finale, if it comes to that. The only person whose bubble got burst was Sarah, who saw Hank rush off to Minnesota and then told Mark that she was going to make it work with Hank, only to have him return and tell her that he was moving to Minnesota, when she thought he was going to propose. At least it’s not a miserable break-up, and Sarah should be able to move on with her life. Drew’s meeting with Amy was surprisingly mature, and it’s good that Sarah will now have no kids at home to hold her back from living her life. Sydney telling Victor that she didn’t want to come to his adoption ceremony wasn’t nice, but it was sweet that he later asked her, and that everyone, including all of his new uncles and aunts, said such kind things to him during the ceremony. Ryan managed to win Amber back, and they might even get engaged soon, which is tremendously exciting. Renee going to live with Jasmine’s brother didn’t seem like a productive development, but we did get the news that Jasmine is pregnant, which might make Renee being around far from the most stressful thing in Crosby’s life. Most inspiringly, Kristina is in fact healthy, off to Hawaii with her darling Adam after all. As always, this has been a strong season of this show, and I’m sad to see it finished so early in the year.
Season grade: B+
Season MVP: Monica Potter
