Touch S01E03 “Safety In Numbers”

Parenthood S03E17 – Remember Me, I’m The One Who Loves You

Rather than speeding things up in the race to the finish, “Remember Me” brought some of the season’s most volatile situations to a grinding halt. The episode was filled with stellar performances and near silent scenes tha...
