Joy Bryant and Dax Shepherd, Parenthood
It was the best of times and it was the worst of times on last week's Parenthood. Jasmine (Joy Bryant) professed her love for Crosby (Dax Shepard), just as his sister, Julia, (Erika Christensen) learned the heart-breaking news that she was not going to be a mother again.

But the couple is about to weather their biggest test yet now that Sarah's ex-husband, Seth, is back in town and headed to rehab.
"There's this happiness that he's finally taking care of himself but it's very stressful for what it means for Mark and Sarah," Graham tells TVGuide.com. "It's a very jarring thing to have Seth in town at all and I think still new for Sarah to be juggling any relationship issues. She's been...
