Parenthood "The Talk"

"The Talk" S4 E3 - 2 weeks in a row of not crying! Go me! I did like this episode though and I am really, really liking Hank and Sarah and the previews for next week show them kissing! Yea! Thankfully Kristina wised up and moved the lumpectomy appointment back to the earlier time - what was she thinking? And, Kristina decided to let Max run for Student Council President although Adam and Max's teacher are against it.  I'm a little torn on this issue. I think it's important for kids to learn how to lose, but I also think it's important to protect their feelings, especially in Max's case. But, we'll just have to wait and see how it all goes. Poor Max though, he had to get 25 signatures in order to run for the position and Kristina saw the "signatures" and they were all mean things. So sad - kids are awful.

Speaking of awful, Jabbar went into the studio with Crosby and heard some words, including "nigga" so Crosby tried to explain, but went to Jasmine who wanted to talk to Jabbar more. Jasmine ended up giving a really awesome talk on the subject and Crosby was schooled and said he felt left out and got protective and sad that anyone would ever use that word to hurt someone.

Hank's daughter came in town and was all bummed because her friends were texting her about some party (why does a 10 year old have a cell phone, is that common?!), so Sarah says to make up that she was at a photo shoot with Justin Bieber so it later shows them doing some photo editing and Hank is now cool again. Sarah also came across some pictures in Hank's studio and we learn that he used to be some big traveling photographer, but he gave that up when his daughter was born. Sarah commented that her ex-husband said he'd give up the band business when his kids were born, but never did.

It's decided that Zeek needs a hobby since he's obsessing over the sprinklers, so he agrees to go to the VA. He's anti volunteering at first, but then meets Ryan (from Friday Night Lights looking super cute) and Zeek discovers that he has more to offer and wants to for real get involved.

Julia and Joel talk to Victor and tell him he needs to pick a sport or play the violin so he picks baseball and Joel is really excited because that was his sport. Victor isn't excited about it and it shows him at a game and he doesn't hit the ball when he's up to bat. He gets frustrated, throws the bat and storms off the field only to yell at Joel that he can't make him do anything because he's not his dad. Ouch! Joel gives a really good peptalk later about how proud he was of Victor for trying and he knows it's hard so Victor and Joel are later seen playing catch. Yea! Victor is a really cute kid and I can't even imagine how hard that entire situation has to be.

Next week we see Kristina telling the family about the cancer and it looks like Hattie makes an appearance again. Maybe she'll leave Cornell to come help care for the family while her mom is sick...yeah, that's my prediction. And, then of course, some developments with Sarah and Hank!!
