Parenthood Season 5: How Bad is Joel and Julia’s Situation with Victor Going to Get? Questions from 'The Ring'

Victor is getting sent back to fourth grade, Christina is down in the poles and Sarah may be getting closer to Carl. Here are my questions following “The Ring”:

No. 1—How bad is Joel and Julia’s situation with Victor going to get?

Victor is being forced to head back to fourth grade in the middle of the year. Joel and Julia have obviously been at odds about this and it has caused some pretty brutal arguments? Will this situation continue to produce fights? Will Sidney and Victor’s relationship take a turn for the worse now that her brother has been dropped down to the same grade as her? Will Julia be forced to go back to work? Will the fights with Joel push Julia closer to Ed?

No. 2—Will Kristina’s decision really be that devesating?

While Bob Little decided to use personal attacks against Kristina and Adam for his campaign, Kristina decided to stay true to herself and continue to run a clean campaign. At the end of the episode Kristina found out she dropped some in the pole. Will the six points she’s behind be too much to overcome?

No. 3—Will Sarah find Carl more attractive now?

Sarah decided to attend a party thrown by Carl. Instead of a bunch of 25 year-olds, Carl’s party was actually filled with older people who seemed pretty respectable. This could change Sarah’s view of Carl. Will they finally being to date?

No. 4—Will Jabar’s ballet interest cause a problem down the road?

Crosby eventually supported Jabar’s decision to attend ballet class. (And he should, Jabar looked like quite the ladies man.) However, will Crosby eventually change his mind and revisit his son playing basketball over doing ballet?

Additional questions—Will Zeek find a cure for his apparent loneliness now that his wife is gone? How will Ryan and Amber deal with what happens next episode? (Watch the preview below.)

“Parenthood” airs Thursdays at 10/9c on NBC.
