Parenthood Season 4 Finale Teasers: Because You're My Sister

ParenthoodThe fourth season of Parenthood has put several Bravermans up against the wall and in need of making a choice. Any choice, really. But this isn't about what to have for dinner or whether to keep the Netflix DVD another day; it's about whether or not you love your child enough to formally adopt him, even though he's damaged beyond the extent that you knew of. It's about whether a litany of emotional scars can ever truly heal and allow you to love as deeply and as wholly as your partner. It's about deciding to break a self-sabotaging pattern in your personal life and make the active choice to be different, to be better.

Listed below are the dates, episode titles, and episode descriptions for the final two episodes of Parenthood's fourth season.

Tuesday, January 15th - "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back"
As Victor's (Xolo Mariduena) adoption deadline draws near, Julia (Erika Christensen) and Joel (Sam Jaeger) contemplate the long term effects of this decision. Renee (Tina Lifford) oversteps her boundaries and intrudes on Crosby (Dax Shepard) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant). Upon advice offered by Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) and Amber (Mae Whitman), Ryan (Matt Lauria) seeks to make amends with Joel. Meanwhile, Mark (Jason Ritter) and Sarah (Lauren Graham) discuss their relationship, concerning Hank (Ray Romano). Kristina (Monica Potter) supports Max (Max Burkholder) with a unique campaign.

Tuesday, January 22nd - "Because You're My Sister"
In the fourth season finale, Jasmine and Crosby plan an anniversary get away and receive exciting news. Kristina and Adam (Peter Krause) prepare for the next phase of her treatment. Drew (Miles Heizer) learns the results of his college applications. Amber and Ryan discuss the future of their relationship. Joel and Julia plan an event for the entire Braverman family. Meanwhile, Sarah is forced to make a decision about her relationships with Mark and Hank.

Parenthood airs Tuesdays at 10:00 on NBC.

Will Julia and Joel decide to formally adopt Victor? Which man will Sarah be with at the end of the finale: Hank or Mark? Is there any way the exciting news for Crosby and Jasmine isn't a pregnancy?
