Parenthood Recap

Tonight's episode was filled with anger, drugs, sex and alcohol and most of it was just Amber. Mae Whitman is truly doing an amazing job showing how a young adult could act after her dreams are crushed, and in doing so I am truly disliking her character and that is saying a lot, because she has been my favorite up until this point. After she pushed her mother Sarah played by Lauren Graham she became very unlikeable which is what I believe Grazer and Howard where trying to portray. I don't want to even start about the car accident, even with being annoyed with Amber currently I could not imagine her not on the show. What I am assuming is that this is just a way for Crosby and Jasmine to get back together, and also a way for Amber to have a wake up call and figure out a different dream rather then resulting to smoking, or drinking, or at least I hope this is the case. In other story lines Crosby is repairing a house for him, Jasmine, and Jabar to live in which I believe is more then amazing, but I am not sure it is enough for Jasmine to forgive him I just hope it is, and he knows this and like he said "its like a hail Mary" lets just hope its in his favor. Also, the second biggest storyline, Haddie admitting to her parents that she is in fact having sex, her mom taking it alot better then her dad which showed yet again the amazing acting skills by Peter Krause who plays Haddies father. Besides the car accident I am happy with every other storyline. I just hope that the season ends with Crosby and Jasmine back together, Amber healthy and motivated, and Haddie not pregnant, but we cant win them all. What do you think? Is Amber bothering you? Did Peter Krause play a good father that just found out his baby girl isn't really a baby anymore?
