Parenthood 5x06 Recap


This week our family are on the campaign trail for Christina, knocking on doors, however it is not going to plan and people are not listening. The early polls are not looking to good for Christina in the wake of the debate. Her campaign manager encourages her to use her passion for Max in the debate but Christina is having none of it. But at the debate a speaker hits a nerve when she describes her experience with her daughter in the public school system and Christina finds her stride. She tells the women that she won’t fail her daughter if she is elected and she wins the debate.

Jasmine and Crosby are having their differences this week when she asks him to trade in their car for a minivan. At first he is reluctant at his image being taken away but soon comes round to the idea when she picks him up after drinking and he realises he won’t have it any better.

Julia and Joel looked to be following a similar road to last week, he abandons the campaign trail for work. Feeling neglected, when Julia knocks on Eric’s door she does not refuse an invite inside. They bond over their similar lives but share an awkward moment when Eric’s wife returns home. At home Joel had prepared a meal to say sorry for being distracted with work and to thank her for looking after the kids, she instantly feels guilty for her time with Eric. I feel as though this won’t be the end of this storyline.  

Amber and her mum are still suffering through turbulent times, they get into another argument and Amber and Ryan decide to elope. She asks Drew to be a witness but he refuses unless Amber involves their mum. Meanwhile Sarah goes to Camille to ask for advice, Camille tells her that when they said she couldn’t marry they lost her for a while so she should support Amber no matter what. Sarah takes this on board and apologises to Amber, and the big wedding is back on trick. I’m glad that Sarah and Amber are back on track I didn’t like them fighting.

Things are not well with Camille and Zeek though, he goes to see the condo and thinking it’s the commodities that Camille wants, builds her a fire pit. Camille realises that although Zeek went to the house viewing he will never be happy and therefore decides to go to Italy for a month with her art class. I predict some Italian romance for her.

Final Thoughts:

I hope after all this that Christina does win the election.

It is good that Amber and her mum are back on track but I do not think this will be the end of it.

Looking forward to the Amber/Ryan wedding.
