Parenthood 100th Episode Photos Tease Big Reconciliation, Heartbreaking Tragedy

Parenthoods milestone 100th episode is right around the corner — Jan. 8, to be exact — and we’re dreading it, to be honest.

Judging by a batch of new photos that NBC has released from the installment (the show’s first of 2015), Braverman patriarch Zeek will suffer a major health setback. Most of the episode, it seems, will take place at the hospital, where the entire family (including Hank and Joel) gathers to hear the latest news.

Speaking of Joel, the photos also confirm that he and Julia have taken their reconciliation into the bedroom. (In November’s fall finale, the estranged couple finally locked lips after coming thisclose to signing divorce papers.)

So, what are you waiting for? Click through our photo gallery below for a first look at the big episode, then hit the comments with your thoughts.
