Parenthood is cramming as much as possible into its 13-episode run this season. Last night’s episode was further proof of this fact.
The Bravermans dealt with Zeek’s birthday as well as his medical issues on Parenthood Season 6 Episode 2. Zeek’s refusal to have the surgery that could save his life was a surefire sign that he would, eventually, end up having the surgery. And he did, thanks to a reveal from his favorite granddaughter Amber.
Amber is pregnant, and when Zeek finds out, he decides he wants to have what his doctor has called an elective surgery so that he’ll stop fainting at potentially terrible moments.
After his children tried to talk him into it, it was that small reveal from Amber that pushed him to go under the knife. His acceptance of her situation was the best response she received, at least until the end when Sarah remembered the joy of babies.
But there’s still this feeling lingering after the episode has ended that something devastating will happen to the Braverman family in the remaining 11 episodes. They will suffer a great loss.
It might be Zeek while he’s open on the operating table. Or it could be someone else in a sudden an unexpected manner.
It most likely won’t be Amber or her baby, as showrunners have pronounced this season a “changing of the guard.” As we’ve seen Adam take the helm of the family, Amber’s baby, the promise of new life, should run along that same line.
What do you think? Will someone die on Parenthood and will that someone be Zeek? Watch Parenthood online to see what you think.
