The promise of new love and romantic sparks will fly for several characters in the next all-new episode of "Parenthood."

During last week's episode, Max developed a crush on a girl named Dylan, who referred to him as "Asperger's." Kristina stepped in to explain to her why it's important not to insult people who are different. Still, that didn't change Max's feelings for Dylan, so he asked Adam for advice about relationships, reports TVLine.

A sneak peek from the next episode, titled "The Scale of Affection Is Fluid," reveals that Kristina and Adam will decide to talk to their son together about relationships. However, while Kristina seems to warn Max that his feelings for Dylan may not be reciprocated, Adam appears to be much more optimistic about his chance of hooking up with her. In turn, Kristina and Adam bump heads during their talk with Max.

Amber will also strike up chemistry with a new love interest while Julia brings her new boyfriend to a family function. However, that doesn't sit well with Joel, who appears to have a problem with his children being around another man.

E! News also warns that episode 10 will be heart wrenching. "Start saving your tissues or plan to make a run to Target to buy ALL of their Kleenex in preparation for episode 10. Why? It'll feature a trip to the ICU. Sob sob sob!," states the website.

According to AceShowBiz.com, the official synopsis reads:

"Max (Max Burkholder) gathers intel on his new friend in search of common ground. Though Kristina (Monica Potter) fears he'll get his heart broken, he is more determined than ever to pursue this new relationship -- especially after some botched advice from Adam (Peter Krause). Amber (Mae Whitman) makes an unexpected connection and finds herself smitten. Julia's (Erika Christensen) new love interest shows up at the family BBQ and runs into Joel (Sam Jaeger). Crosby (Dax Shepard) lets loose with Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) and Jasmine (Joy Bryant) grows concerned about her husband."

Season 6 Episode 3 of "Parenthood," "Potpourri of Freaks," airs on Thursday, Oct. 16, on NBC.
