Parenthood - In-Between

Wow.  So what the hell is this show going to do to our favourite Braverman family now?  Crosby and Adam finally hire someone for reception, who is very bright and knowledgeable about the music scene, but she is also very flamboyant and 'hot'.  Adam doesn't want to hire her essentially because of her looks.  Not only is this discriminatory but he obviously fears his fidelity to his wife who has just given birth to their third child!  So is this new woman, Rachel, going to be the cause of extra-marital problems in the future?  I hope not.  You see Kristina has been feeling very overwhelmed with the recent birth and the changes to her body and does not feel very sexy at all, so when she turns up at the Luncheonette and the hot young woman doesn't know who she is, she is feeling very vulnerable.  Of course Adam doesn't help by pointing out the baby vomit in her hair!  Now she is mortified!  No sex for you tonight Adam!
The boys decide to hold a grand opening party and everyone is excited, except Kristina, who is worried about being compared to all the young hot women who will be there.  Of course, while talking to Rachel, her breast starts to leak!  Horrified, Kristina hides in Adam's office.  He finds her and tells her that he is very horny for her and to not worry.  So far so good.  Keep this up mate and you just might get lucky!
Meanwhile, the Seth saga continues with him finishing rehab and holing up in a flea pit of a motel room.  Amber decides to give up her place for her Dad who gets offered a job and is looking for his own place.  But then Amber overhears her Mum, Sarah talking about Seth and that she really thinks they might be able to make a go of it.  Amber is upset because Sarah has been so happy with Mark.  So Amber tells her Dad that she wants him to think of Sarah and her happiness in all this.  At the end of this episode, Seth tells Sarah he has been offered a job interstate and is going to take it.  Could her finally be getting responsible?
Their son Drew finally makes it official with Amy and they are now boyfriend and girlfriend and she even instigates making out!  Go boy!
Lastly, Crosby has to deal with Dr Joe in Jabbar's life.  He has been reading the Harry Potter books with Jabbar and they are about to finish the fourth book when Jabbar tells him that Dr Joe brought over the sixth movie to watch.  Crosby is not happy but doesn't say anything (he's a good Dad) and decides to watch to movie himself so he can talk with Jabbar about it.  However, when he tries to talk to his son, he drops another bombshell by saying Dr Joe is taking him to his first football game.  That's the last straw!  Crosby confronts Dr Joe in his office and tells him he can't take Jabbar to the game because that is his right as a father to experience that with him.  Later, Dr Joe arrives at the Luncheonette and gives Crosby the football tickets but warns him that he is going to be in Jabbar's life and he is just going to have to live with it!  Not sure how true his words are going to be, because at the party, Jasmine came and congratulated Crosby for achieving his dream.  She seemed a bit too flirty for my taste.
And talking about flirty?  Kristina surprises Adam the next day with a bit of morning sex!  She is back in the saddle, so to speak!
Another great episode that is setting up some new story arcs.  This was the final episode in Australia in 2011, so looking forward to the show's return this year.  Bring it on.
