There's Something I Need to Tell You...



































Easily one of the most powerful episodes ever for Parenthood and one of the hardest to sit through. Jason Katims wrote a script that was real, in more ways than one. There were so many great scenes and it was pretty heavy watching Julia basically cracking under the pressures of trying to run a family and maintain a high level at work. Her breakdown in the kitchen was hard to take. Watching Haddie trying to cope with the news about Kristina hit home on a personal level. Like I said, it was hard to get through this episode and I thought the baseball game was were they were ending it, which gave it that release of joy, which I absolutely loved seeing how it played out. But just as fast as they relived the tension of the episode, they give us more.....

Julia is confronted by her bosses at the firm she works at and promptly quits. That takes balls to walk away from money like that, but she sees what is important....her family. So, she made the right decision in my mind. I don't think she did the wrong thing because has she stayed at the job, her family and her on psyche was in jeopardy. But it was the episodes closing minutes that really got to me. I kept it together for most of the episode, but when Haddie walked into the restaurant and the other family members were able to put two and two together, I couldn't help but get misty eyed.

Anyway, I also wanted to point out that I like that they are setting up Amber with a potential love interest with Ryan (Matt Lauria), which means he will be on the series for a little bit longer. More FNL alums would be nice.
