Triple the Tuesday Night Drama: Dec. 4

8 December 2012 by Jess

Triple the drama with Tuesday night Private Practice, Leverage and Parenthood. Hey, that works with the Private Practice episode perfectly–TRIPLETS!

Private Practice

The triplets arrive! Sort of. This one is another talking to the camera episode with Cooper narrating the duration of Charlotte’s pregnancy, naming the babies as the fruit or vegetable that is the closest in size to the their particular stage of development. Things seem to be going as well as can be expected with multiples until Charlotte unexpectedly goes into labor early–like early for multiples early by about 6 weeks.

Happy news! Before the premature labor, of course.Addison and Jake help Charlotte begin delivery of the triplets when her water breaks and they are unable to stop the contractions. After the first baby is born, they try to revive her while the doctors discuss sewing her cervix shut. It could delay labor until the other babies have developed a little more to have a better chance of survival outside the womb.

It will be interesting to see what happens next, as I believe the show had ordered 13 episodes for the season, and this is only episode 8. Meaning, there may well be a winter break for the practice until January when they return with the rest of the season.

Parenthood

This was one of the really enjoyable episodes. These guys fight a lot, which is the reason my boyfriend refuses to watch it with me, but this one was about the triumphs, mostly. Amber got Ryan a job on Joel’s construction project, but Ryan got a little defensive about the other guys giving him a hard time for being new and ended up breaking an 800 dollar plate glass window.

Raises the question, what was the glass doing there in the first place when people are moving pipes around that could easily break it, but I don’t know anything about construction, so maybe that’s common practice.

Julia gets a big win with Victor on his studying. She goes to Christina for advice on how to motivate him to study, and Christina, self-medicating to ease her chemo side effects, says they bribe Max with candy for everything.

Julia tries it with Victor and it seems to work because he does start studying and practicing on the homework, but when he gets a 62 on his test, he comes back angry and feels like she lied to him. However, Julia said exactly the right thing: it wouldn’t matter if it said 62 or 92, she’d love him either way. And, she pointed out how much progress he’d made in just a few days. Even though he wasn’t there yet, he had learned a lot already.

And, the inevitable, Sarah and Mark break up. After he sees her with Hank, drunk, Mark starts thinking  that things are not going to work out. She convinces him to forgive her, but when Hank opens his mouth about the real reason for the trip, and Sarah’s knowledge about why they really took the job, Mark realizes that it really is the end for them.

Not too sad for me, though Sarah is totally shocked, because I saw it coming, and honestly, Mark can do better. Sarah is still a mess and still doesn’t know how to be in a healthy relationship.

Adam and Crosby finally win with the evil psycho neighbor! They have to present their case in front of the city council. While the horrible neighbor has some pretty damning evidence, including a photograph of Crosby peeing in the alley, Crosby comes in with a crowd of their neighbors and fellow business owners to advocate for the Luncheonette and the Braverman brothers. Awesome moment.

The mean neighbor lady is stunned, but can’t prevent her other neighbors from speaking. If they had just been friends, it would have been different, but being that they were residents and property owners in the neighborhood, Luncheonette wins!

Leverage

It was like Inception, only it was only an hour long and it was way better. That movie was ridiculous, but this episode was ridiculously awesome because of how Hardison actually created a digital dream world for the mark to wander through.

Yeah, they stole a dream. Can you say that? Didn’t think so. And, they pulled off the most impossible con of all time. (I’m with Sophie on this one–they did pull off the White Rabbit. So there.) Tell your friends about this show.

Up Next:

Still more recaps! Making progress!

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of pain. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile disfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an erection suitable for intercourse. Having erectile dysfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to impotence. Some of medications fuel wish. Certain far-famed medicaments can mean screwing with your orgasm. What is the most significant facts you perhaps know know about this?

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
