‘Parenthood’ series finale spoilers: Sarah’s wedding; Julia and Joel’s decision

It has been six seasons filled with laughs, tears, and surprises, but all stories must come to an end on TV. This is why we are saying farewell to “Parenthood” next week, and admittedly, we wondered for a time if we were ever going to get this series finale. Thanks to NBC for not giving up on the show, and for allowing us a chance to have a proper ending.

While NBC is of course being coy about what is going to happen in this episode, you can expect Sarah’s wedding

“In the excitement of her big day, Sarah (Lauren Graham) surrounds herself with the original Braverman clan. Meanwhile, Hank (Ray Romano) approaches Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) for his blessing and asks Drew (Miles Heizer) for a special favor. Amber (Mae Whitman) adjusts to life as a new mom with a little help from her grandparents. Julia (Erika Christensen) and Joel (Sam Jaeger) get a phone call that forces a life-changing decision. Max (Max Burkholder) gets his first job, while Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Adam (Peter Krause) reach an understanding about the Luncheonette. Kristina (Monica Potter) presents Adam with a new plan for the future of Chambers Academy, and for their family.”

Ultimately, planning for the future will most likely be a theme. We don’t get the sense that creator Jason Katims is interested in peering into a crystal ball, and predicting what the future for many of these characters will be. With that being said, we also imagine that he wants to give you a little bit of insight into where these characters will be going. There will be happiness, there will be sadness, but there will be family most of all. As this show has told you over six years, this is the most important thing.
