Resolution is the key for the elders in the family. Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) is showing plenty of humbleness as he tries to make things right with his wife, Camille (Bonnie Bedelia). It seemed to me that he was back to living with her, but it wasn't completely clear. Their separation was one of the darkest paths explored last year, and I'm glad to see that bitterness will not be the reigning emotion between them.
Perhaps the most anticipated plot this year will be coming from Adam's (Peter Krause) office. We met his boss (Billy Baldwin) this week, and it was revealed that his company is in trouble. Adam's sister, Sarah (Lauren Graham), is plenty creative, but has been striking out on the job front. A match made in heaven? It seems so. Making the story more juicy is Sarah's attraction to Adam's boss, and a love triangle will soon develop as Sarah also falls for a forklift operator (Kevin Alejandro, True Blood) at the company.
Because there are 15 starring roles in this show, a couple of the characters weren't even in this episode. That means plenty more will be coming up! I urge everyone to check out Parenthood, airing Tuesday nights at 10pm on NBC.

Along with "Modern Family" and "House", this show is right up in my favorite category. Man, it hits home on so many levels: blended families, sassy teens, aging parents going through marriage difficulties, inquisitive children. I think the actors were casted SPOT ON! I love and want more from EACH and every character.
Oh, and I also love the fact that this takes place in Berkeley!
So what are your thoughts on a Baldwin joining the show?

I don't know. I liked him on Gossip Girl last year. I need to see more of his interactions with Graham to see if I want more of him, but not impressed yet.
