When was the last time you walked down Chestnut, passed 34th and watched the signs turn from red and blue to blue and yellow? Was it for a burger at Shake Shack or stuffed Challah french toast at Sabrina’s? Maybe you bypassed it all and headed to 30th Street Station or Center City. Penn and Drexel may be just blocks apart, but given our level of interaction, you’d never know that.

Last episode, Joel finally got himself together and showed up at Julia’s door to get her back. But the “Parenthood” writers left us hanging this week, and Joel and Julia never appeared. Instead, we got teen drama and a hefty dose of Crosby.

We can all hold our breath until next week, while we wait to (finally) hear the fate of Joel and Julia’s marriage. Episode seven begins in mediation (he gives her the house, where their kids grew up) and they receive the divorce papers soon after. Julia’s hesitant to sign them, and Joel isn’t ready to say goodbye either. When he goes over the Zeek and Camille’s to do just that, Zeek tells him not to: he needs to fight for Julia. He can’t give her up now. Does this mean there’s hope? (WE hope so. Joel and Julia forever.)

At 21, doctors gave now–renowned cosmologist Stephen Hawking two years to live. Twenty five years later, his book, "A Brief History of Time," spent four and a half years on Britain’s "Sunday Times" bestseller list. When he was 57, his former wife, Jane, wrote a memoir about their lives together called “Music to Move Stars.” When writer Anthony McCarten read this book in 2004, he began his quest to translate their story into film.

We’ve been cheated! Episode six began with a surprise: three months have gone by. Amber is six months pregnant and out shopping for her bun in the oven, but everyone else seems pretty much the same—everyone we see, that is, because Zeek, Camille, Joel and Julia never even appear.

“Boardwalk Empire” (HBO) makes us feel like we totally get 1920s and ‘30s Jersey history. This series aired its finale on October 26th. Atlantic City, anyone?

At just 17, actress Kaitlyn Dever’s resume is long enough to make a Penn student jealous. Since 2011, she’s played Tim Allen’s daughter on “Last Man Standing.” In theatres, she stars alongside Ansel Elgort in “Men, Women, & Children,” and last week, her newest role as Misty in “Laggies” screened at the Philadelphia Film Festival and opened nationwide. According to “ELLE,” she’s one of the eight young women poised to take over Hollywood, but Kaitlyn doesn’t think of herself as a breakout star. “I’m just doing what I love, you know?” she says.

From outside, Room 205 in Fisher Bennett Hall seems inconspicuous: across from the Cinema Studies office and just past the second–floor bathroom, only a brass nameplate distinguishes it. Inside, it’s an oasis.

The saga of Joel and Julia continued this week, but Julia’s thoughts were somewhere else (or should I say, with someone else?) She and her workplace beau Chris seem to be going strong, though she’s still not willing to out their relationship to the other moms from school. At a Braverman barbeque, Chris comes to drop some papers off for Julia, but Adam spots him and ropes him inside, tossing him a basketball to start a game with the kids. Victor and Syd take to him a little too easily, and report their affection for the new man in their lives to Joel over pizza the next day—but not before Joel walks up to the barbeque to see Chris himself. The camera zooms all the way into Joel’s five o’clock shadow, and he isn’t too happy about the situation, which he tells Julia the next day.

Last week, the Braverman family breathed a sigh of relief when Zeek awoke from heart surgery. This week, they faced an even bigger challenge: helping him recover. At home from the hospital, Zeek has camped out in the living room in front of a John Wayne marathon. He’s supposed to be moving around and starting to recover, but to Camille’s frustration, he won’t get up from the spot he’s carved into the couch.

The head of he Braverman clan himself begins the episode in classic style, by announcing to his kids the night before his surgery that Amber is expecting a child. They’re surprised, of course, but Amber’s relieved she didn’t have to break the news to them herself. The next day, she shows up at Drew’s dorm at Berkeley to tell him, but he’s already heard. (He must’ve slipped in at home between episodes, because he’s been mysteriously absent all season.) She still hasn’t told Ryan the news and Drew agrees to drive her to Wyoming to do just that.

"I came to Penn thinking, based on my personal experience, that the only reason you didn’t succeed in high school was because you made the conscious choice not to.”

The Braverman family returned on Thursday in the second episode of their farewell season, picking up right where the first episode left off: in Amber’s kitchen, where she’s just revealed to her mom that she’s pregnant. Sarah reacts less than enthusiastically and doesn’t know what to say when Amber tells her that she plans on keeping the baby.

Last season, Joel and Julia’s rocky relationship took center stage. The Bravermans held out hope that they’d get back together, but the show’s writers left those loose ends untied. Kristina lost her bid for mayor but began plans to found a school for students like Max. When her friend Gwen died and left her money to the school, she christened it Chambers Academy. After a season of debating, Zeek and Camille sold the home they raised their four kids in, and Jasmine and Crosby welcomed their new baby, Aida. In the finale, Haddie returned from Cornell with her best friend Lauren (Tavi Gevinson) and revealed to her parents that she was more than just a friend.

When I told my brother I was going to see “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them,” he thought I’d be watching a documentary about The Beatles. Ned Benson’s inaugural film isn’t about John, Paul, George and Ringo, but watching it, one can’t help but think of their melancholic 1966 song and the woman wearing the face she keeps in the jar by the door.
