Parenthood: "You better not let us down"

Here comes a recap of this week's Parenthood.

- Sarah is both pleased and shocked when Amber's English teacher praises a paper she wrote on The Sound and the Fury. So when Sarah realizes Amber passed in a paper Sarah wrote when she was in high school, Sarah goes to the school to set the record straight. But when the teacher goes on and on about what a wonderful student Amber is and how much potential he sees in her, Sarah backs down, deciding to not tell him the truth. Later in the episode, the teacher goes to the bar where Sarah works and the two start a friendly conversation. He also tells Sarah that Amber came clean, which impresses Sarah. In the preview for next week, there were hints of a budding relationship between Sarah and the teacher.
- Katie's doctor says she should start trying to get pregnant now since her odds will be higher. This, obviously, freaks out Crosby. So when Crosby finally tells Katie about Jabbar, Katie is heartbroken. She is sad that Crosby lied to her about Jabbar and that he kept him from her. This was what Katie needed to realize she cannot be with Crosby and have to keep pushing him to have kids.
- In other Crosby news, now that Julia knows about Jabbar she keeps talking to Crosby about his financial and other obligations. Julia wants Crosby to get a paternity test, something Crosby brings up with Jasmine. Jasmine then freaks because he is essentially calling her a liar and she tells Crosby he can't see Jabbar anymore. Crosby considers having the test done behind Jamine's back, but in the end realizes he already knows the truth and makes amends with Jasmine.
- Haddie's boyfriend seems almost too comfortable already, which Adam hates. So when Haddie and Steve get in a fight about the movie Love Actually and Haddie proclaims he is not the guy she thought he was, Adam and Christina think he may be gone for good. But before the end of the episode Haddie explains it was a misunderstanding and that they are still together, much to Adam's disapproval.
- Julia whines to Joel about how she hates being such a control freak and that she wishes she was more spontaneous. So, at the end of the episode, and with only a little hesitation on her part, the two break into a public pool and go for a swim.
- Max is invited back onto his baseball team, so Adam takes it upon himself to practice with Max. While Adam doesn't seem to truly have the patience for it, Drew helps out and the three spend a lot of time together playing ball. So when Max freaks out about Adam trying to change their schedule (something that is very difficult to deal with for people with Asperger's), he cancels a date they have with Drew to meet at the field. Drew is disappointed by this and Sarah notices. We find out that Drew's dad often broke plans and never did what he said he would, so when Adam canceled, Drew shut down. But Adam retorts, saying it was hard on him too, since playing baseball with the two boys has been the closest he's been able to get to normal in recent weeks.
