The Closer’s 5th season’s 11th episode ‘Maternal Instincts‘ was mind blowing. You don’t believe me? Listen. Charlie was blown (shot dead) in this episode. This is a fact. So please take me seriously. Ha Ha. I Got you. The episode was aired on Monday, 17th August. It focused on the difficulties faced by teenagers and the way parents deal with them. I learned from this episode that all the parents opt for what they think is the best way to up bring their child but everyone is not perfect. Some parents get too hard sort of human being with their children to keep them on the right track. They take this thing as a challenge and the results are not fruitful and leave them apart in their hearts. Parents must understand the feelings of their young ones and work on them accordingly, not in an orthodox manner but by providing them an encouraging environment and some liberty also. Everything does not suit everyone.
In “Maternal Instincts” a teenager, Vanessa gets pregnant from her boyfriend, Jake, sleeping with him voluntarily but lies to everyone that she was raped by him because of the fear of her authoritarian father and what her family would think about her character. At the end of episode, Jake, who gets injured severely in school car parking dies in hospital.
Parallel story in The Closer is of Brenda, who is not comfortable with her niece Charlie as a stand in parent. The way she behaves with Charlie does not make her relationship any stronger. She gets into an argument with Charlie regarding I-Pod and cell phones in car, when they find themselves spank in the middle of an active crime scene.
I really want to appreciate, director David McWhirter and writer Leo Geter of this episode of The Closer TV Show, who have very well presented the real situations going on in society these days.
As the 5th season is near to its end, you can watch ‘The Closer’ online and know about more about the fragile relationships between parents and their children.
