So Jasmine knows now how Crosby must have felt. Well, not quite. Jasmine has Dr. Joe to ease the pain. Crosby had no one. Jasmine's relationship with Jabbar is far less threatended by Lilly than Crosby's is by Dr. Joe. He hadn't been in Jabbar's life very long, so it's understandable why he should be scared.
As for Lilly and Crosby, I hope that relationship is here to stay. They have great chemistry and so far Lilly doesn't seem the type to talk down to someone, as Jasmine did to Crosby on a regular basis. I really like those two as a couple and I think the rest of the Braverman clan will as well.

Yes once again Haddie is getting the short end of the stick.She's always neglected for the sake of Max.Before they squashed her dreams so quickly they should have looked at their options first and they sure as hellshouldnt have reminded her of how much she has to sacrifice for the sake of her siblings..She'd get scholarships and aid if she or they applied or looked into it.Hated that because you shoudnt discourage that.
I love that my Crosby is happy and Jasmine has some nerve. And knew amber and the rep were heading somewhere.Hes quite smitten.

I also think that Zoe will end up keeping the baby and staying with Julia's family so they can enjoy the baby too. Or maybe not. They DID already sign the adoption paperwork. Def an interesting story line and I'm curious to see the outcome.

I can't decide if Jasmine is now jealous that Crosby has moved on, or if she's just upset because he's not pining for her anymore :-P Either way, as many stunts as he pulls, Cros is still one of my favorite characters, along with Adam, Christina and Haddie. Another great episode! Here's to Parenthood FINALLY getting nomanated for an Emmy (??!) this year.

I feel bad for Sarah, Drew is treating her like Amber used too
I like the idea of Amber and Bob but Amber will not get involved with him until the campaign is over. I think she has found her niche in what she wants to do and I hope in some capicity she can continue down that path.
I have no clue how Adam and Christina can send Haddie to Cornell. IMO Haddie should have gotten herself a job months ago. After she stopped volunteering at the shelter. She should know that after Adam losing his job and the addition of Nora and the care for Max and the fact that Christina had to go back to work has to have made Haddie realized that she has to help pay for college!!!!
From day 1 I was never confident that Zoe would give up her baby and I think after the birthing class fiasco Julia realized that as well.
I cried at the scene at the end with Zeke and Camille

I do not like Jasmine and never have and last night further cemented that fact. She dose not want Crosby to be happy and she will try and sabotage his relationship with Lilly. I really like Lilly. Dr Joe will not be around long as the look he gave Jasmine when he saw her looking at Crosby tells me was not thrilled at Jasmine's jealousy.

Loved the episode but was bothered at how they told Haddie several times that it would be so much
cheaper to go to Berkeley. I realize they live in-state and she could live at home but it's really
very, very expensive and not easy to get into. The whole show was very realistic and wonderful as usual

Another great episode of Parenthood. Glad that it wasn't overly cheesy and predictable like Parenthood sometimes can be. Really hope that something happens with Amber and Bob Little, but has anyone seen The Ides of March? Would hate for them to get caught and destroy both characters.... if so, I'm afraid it will turn out where Amber looks like that bad seed that spoiled the career of a promising up and coming politician. Please writers, don't go down that road! Really hope they can make it work for those two... Didn't see previews for the next episode. Anyone know what's going on for next week???

All the talk about Haddie being so smart and taking AP classes yet she didn't get any scholarships? I agree that Haddie has gotten the short stick in the past, but at the same time for her to expect her parents to pay that sort of tuition for undergraduate school is very selfish. She needs to learn to live in the real world. I just don't like this girl anymore.

I was bothered by the college storyline because I didn't see why neither of them called the financial aid office and started a dialogue.
My son went to a private school and it was expensive. I called the financial aid office and told them about my son- his grades, his drive for excellence, and his personality. I had the premise 'You want this person to be an alumni of your university.'
I was able to explain a recent decline in our income. We eventually were awarded a $40K scholarship (over 4 years) and it was increased to $70K after he put in a few semesters and proved I was right.

I would LOVE for Amber and Bob Little to get together. Amber is a smart girl who has suffered heart break and has messed up a lot in the past but is really trying to work hard and move forward. Why can't she have a great guy in her life??! They have great chemistry together and I would love to see it go further with them.

Haddie doesn't get the short end of the stick. She's smart enough to realize that even without the cost of Max's treatments her parents cannot afford that tuition. Her reluctance to get a job said it all.

If Amber and Bob Little have a romantic relationship, it is going to kill the show. I feel like it started out as Amber having a mentor at the beginning of the episode and then when Bob asked if she wanted to get something to eat it turned more on the romantic side? I just really hope they don't get together!
Whoa Mark and Drew are so similar! only caught that because you pointed it out.

Ford is a great actress. Little is definitely romantically interested in Amber. Amber was great. Good catch about Drew and Mark.
