Parenthood: Joel and Mark #@$!@#$ !!!

Parenthood: Joel and Mark #@$!@#$ !!!

So Zeke and Crosby brought the humor this week with a road trip to get a grill for Zeke’s classic truck. Zeke, and Crosby, also seemed to come to terms with the selling of the home. Zeke later told Camille they should take the offer on the house they were given. With Crosby possibly needing a house, and Christina wanting do start a charter school, I don’t think the house is gunna really be sold to some outsider. One, or both of them, will take it.

Christina and Adam blew up during a meeting with Max’s school. Max refused to return after the overnight trip when another student pissed in his canteen. The school thought it was best Max be homeschooled for what little was left in the year, and next year he’d be off to high school and out of their hair basically. Christina was furious that the school wasn’t even going to punish the pisser, and Max’s sympathetic teacher sided with her. They decided to say “screw the school” and home school him. Max usually pushes my buttons, which obviously his character is supposed to do, but I really did feel for him this time. The school ignoring the one who pranked him was pretty low!

The Joel and Julia mess just got worse and has reached the point where I don’t think they will make it work. Julia wanted to fight for the marriage, but Joel didn’t know what he wanted, other than he didn’t feel like fighting to get back together. This after he charged a four hundred dollar dinner out with his boss Sexy Pete. Yeah, didn’t Joel do this before with another woman seasons back? It almost seems like Joel is a man who likes to have a woman with power in control with him . . . . that’s why he walked away from Julia after her career change. With Joel moving on, Julia decided to too. She met up with Ed for coffee at the end of the episode. Nooooooo! Not Ed! Next week it seems Julia crosses a big line with the teacher from Max’s school. From the spoilers below, it looks like she starts helping him and Christina with the legalities of a charter school . . . Sorry Joel, you walked away and now so is she!

While Joel and Julia were busy figuring out where they stood, Amber and Drew bonded with Victor and Sydney. They had been through a divorce and encouraged them to lean on each other during this time. I loved that they took them to an 80s roller disco.

Finally the return of Mark Cyr sent Sarah into tingle mode, and Hank into worry mode. Hank clearly wants to make things work with her, he just doesn’t know how. He worried he’d lose her to Mark, but apparently that’s not happening. Mark took Sarah out to a fancy restaurant to tell her that he’s met someone new and they are to be married. What the hell !?!?!?! Who does something like that? That’s just a coffee date, or a conversation. Not a night out. I felt so bad for poor Sarah. What a jerk. Mark and Joel should both get hit by a train or something!
