'Parenthood' Season 5 Episode 17 Spoilers: Julia Fights to Save Her Marriage in 'Limbo' [Video]

This week's all-new episode of NBC's "Parenthood" promises to be intense as family values collide and tempers flare.

In a promo for the upcoming episode, entitled "Limbo," Drew's first college love ends in heartbreak after his friend sleeps with his love interest. Meanwhile, Julia struggles to hold on to her marriage when her estranged husband Joel seems to be bailing out. "How are you not fighting for me?" Julia desperately cries out in the teaser video.

BroadwayWorld posted an official synopsis of the episode which reads, "Jasmine (Joy Bryant) and Crosby (Dax Shepard) disagree over a crucial point in Aida's upbringing. Julia (Erika Christensen) finds out some unsettling news about Joel (Sam Jaeger), but then is pleasantly surprised by his final decision. Sarah (Lauren Graham) and Hank (Ray Romano) continue to work together, but Max (Max Burkholder) is interrupting their flow, which causes Kristina (Monica Potter) and Adam (Peter Krause) to intervene."

There's also a lot to look forward to in the rest of Season 5 of the critically-acclaimed drama series.

According to TVLine, the rest of the season will heat up. Matt Lauria is set to return as Ryan during the penultimate episode. There's also a chance that he may appear in the finale. Furthermore, fans can look forward to meeting Ryan's mom, a "three Bloody Marys for breakfast" type of woman who failed to provide her son with motherly and emotional support.

Later on this season, Sarah Ramos will reprise her role as Haddie, Adam and Kristina's eldest daughter, TVLine reports exclusively. Although her contract on the series ended at the close of Season 3 when her character went off to college, she appeared throughout Season 4 to support to her cancer-stricken mom. Her comeback in this season's finale will mark her first appearance on the show in a year.

"Parenthood" returns on Thursday, March 13 with "Limbo" on NBC at 10 p.m. EST.
