What happened with this press event? It was for
0:01
The Traitors. Yes. Have you watched The Traitors?
0:04
I've never watched it, but I know about it. Okay,
0:06
same. I was invited to The Traitors Experience.
0:10
So fun. I thought it would all be, like, writers.
0:13
Like, I was invited as a member of the press,
0:15
but then it was a lot of, like, podcasters, actually,
0:18
which was really cool. Basically, they grouped
0:21
us into groups of 10, and then we went through
0:23
and played Traitors. Okay. Which is, like, mafia,
0:27
kind of. Yeah, that's how people were describing
0:30
it to me when I would come up to them and be
0:32
like, so I haven't watched the show. All I know
0:34
is that Gabby Windey won. That tracks. And then
0:37
there's an element of faux murder. Oh yeah, so
0:41
it's mafia. Yeah. But what was really cool is
0:43
walking through, it was in this venue space that's
0:46
an old bank and it was just huge. Like there
0:49
was so much space, which I just feel like in
0:51
New York always hits really hard when you're
0:54
like in a big space. And the set design was amazing.
0:57
Like they had these really elaborate sets, a
0:59
team of like 10 actors, all doing very convincing
1:02
Scottish brogues leading us through these challenges.
1:05
Okay, Peacock, they got money. Yeah, they got
1:08
serious money. Were you a traitor? No, I got
1:11
murdered. No. I was so scared I was going to
1:13
be a traitor because I'd never played the game.
1:15
So I was like, I don't even know what I would
1:17
do as a traitor. I'm a really bad liar. And then
1:20
I thought people were gonna think I was a traitor
1:22
because I was so bad at the challenges. Because
1:26
so like the first one was we had all the portraits
1:29
of this season's players and we had to like match
1:34
them. They basically had riddles for the seating
1:36
chart being like so and so was on this show
1:39
and she needs to be sat next to this person from
1:41
this show. And I didn't know any of the people.
1:44
Luckily some other people in my group really
1:46
knew. But I was like, oh, they're totally going
1:48
to think I'm a traitor because I'm so bad at
1:51
this that I'm just like standing in the corner,
1:53
not able to contribute. And basically, if you're
1:55
a traitor, if the main group loses the challenge,
1:58
then you win. Right. So your whole objective
2:00
is just to sabotage. But I was just so bad. And
2:03
you were sabotaging by not knowing. Yeah. I was
2:06
just being myself, actually, so. Season 1, Episode
2:23
13, Portrait with Bandaged Ear, which came out
2:26
January 17, 2012. Obviously, this is the Van
2:30
Gogh. The Van Gogh, yes. I didn't even need to
2:33
Google it. Van Gogh cuts off his ear and then
2:36
sends it to a sex worker named Rachel. I didn't
2:39
know that's where it went. Yeah, he gives it
2:41
to, like, a sex worker. He got into a fight with
2:44
Paul Gaugin. And then he cut off his ear. But
2:47
did you know the ASL sign for Van Gogh's? It's
2:50
like you're cutting your ear off, guys. Them
2:52
opening with the arrest scene again, but with
2:55
sound. I was not expecting. No. I think it was
2:58
helpful. Because now we see exactly why they
3:02
tackled him to the ground. Because they said,
3:04
drop your weapon. And he didn't drop the wrench.
3:06
Because he couldn't hear, guys. And then you
3:09
see that he's trying to sign, but he's being
3:11
restrained behind his back. They said to him,
3:13
we have a warrant out for your arrest. If they
3:16
knew who he was. Wouldn't they know he's deaf?
3:18
Wouldn't they know he's deaf? I don't know. Surprise,
3:21
surprise that the cop is dumb, but like. I don't
3:24
think. It's not like there's some like database,
3:26
but I feel like if they had a profile of him,
3:28
wouldn't they be able to see that he went to
3:30
Carlton School for the Deaf? Your attendance
3:33
in a certain school is not in like some database
3:36
that all the cops can see. But they had his name?
3:39
Where does the information start and stop? Right.
3:41
I don't know. Because we didn't find out. They
3:44
catch him because surveillance cameras caught
3:46
him. Yeah. So they were able to somehow see the
3:49
face and figure out it's Emmett Bledsoe.
3:51
But we don't know. But they never explain how
3:54
they got from like point A to point B. But Melody
3:57
shows up at the police station and there's already
3:59
an interpreter there. Yeah. She says, where the
4:02
hell is my son? And then she asked if there's
4:04
an interpreter. And they said, yeah. Great. With
4:06
him at booking. So clearly somewhere on the ride.
4:09
Somewhere on the ride, they figured out. Yeah.
4:11
Oh, shit. We need an interpreter. And they explain
4:14
to Melody that Emmett has been charged with trespassing
4:17
and vandalism. And she says, that's a load of
4:19
crap. But then the interpreter doesn't speak
4:22
that back. He just says, she doesn't believe
4:25
you. Yeah. I think he was trying to be on her
4:28
side and not make her look bad. Isn't that very
4:31
against all ethics of an interpreter? That is
4:33
kind of against the ethics of being an interpreter.
4:35
Yeah. They're supposed to interpret exactly what
4:38
they say. They do a lot of that on the show.
4:40
They really do. And I would hope that doesn't
4:43
happen in real life. Everything I've been taught
4:45
about interpreters is like you are merely
4:48
a vessel for communication. Exactly. You can't
4:51
side with anyone. You are just there for access,
4:53
but yeah. Whatever. Yeah, and they reveal, yeah,
4:56
we've got photos of Emmett tagging this billboard.
4:59
Clear as day. These are the greatest CCTV cameras
5:04
I've ever seen. I think he even comments on it.
5:07
He's like, you'd be amazed what these cameras
5:09
are able to pick up these days. He's like, these
5:10
digital cameras instead of film. Yeah. I guess
5:13
so. And then Melody's like shit. Okay. And then
5:16
apparently they're pressing charges. Who is pressing
5:19
charges? The city? Like if the city owns the
5:22
billboard? Right. Or if someone else owns the
5:26
billboard, then the private owner of the billboard,
5:28
maybe? Again, no explanation. This does sound
5:32
like something the city would do. They said,
5:34
we take these crimes very seriously. Nobody got
5:38
hurt except for Emmett when he fell off the fence.
5:41
And when they handcuffed him. Also, the piece
5:43
of art is cool. I know. It's not even, like,
5:46
violent or graphic in any way. It's not inappropriate.
5:50
Don't you guys have anything better to do? They
5:52
should, but I guess not. Then next scene, Bay
5:55
is meeting Angelo at a restaurant. Another date
5:59
spot. She even says it feels like a cross between
6:01
an interview and a date. Yeah, thank god she
6:04
said something. And he's like, what, no chaperone?
6:06
And she says, no one wanted to go get Cuban -Chinese
6:09
fusion. Okay. Oh, and also Angelo, like European
6:13
kisses her on both her cheeks when she comes
6:15
in. Oh my god. And she's very startled by this.
6:18
Sure, that makes sense. She makes a comment when
6:21
the espresso shows up. She says, my parents don't
6:24
love the idea of me drinking caffeine. She's
6:26
16. But remember in the first episode she drinks
6:29
coffee? Yes, as like a rebellion. Oh my god.
6:32
I think there's a callback to that. You're so
6:35
right. And now she's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
6:37
I'm a good girl now. I guess so. Anyway, I said
6:41
it then and I'll say it now. I think it's strange
6:44
for a parent to not let you drink caffeine at
6:47
16. I don't know. I had a lot of autonomy growing
6:50
up. You did. I think you especially had a lot
6:54
of freedom as a child. I don't know if I had
6:57
those rules. I think if I started to, my parents
6:59
wouldn't have done anything. But just my parents
7:01
both don't drink coffee. So I just never got
7:03
into it. Yeah, my parents both really do. So
7:07
maybe they were like, we're not going to be hypocrites
7:09
and say you can't have it. Right. Plus, I was
7:11
tall enough. I was so worried it was going to
7:14
stem my growth. And spoiler alert, I am 5 '1",
7:17
so I'm short. But your parents are also both
7:19
small. Yeah, we're a small family. There was
7:21
no chance you were going to be super tall. I
7:25
don't know. Did you have big dreams when you
7:27
were playing basketball? You were like, if I
7:28
just don't drink coffee. I just wanted to be
7:31
like 5 '3", or 5 '4". Just a few inches. I wanted
7:35
to be average. 5 '4 is what, like, the average
7:37
height for an American woman. I think I was striving
7:40
for that. That didn't happen. Anyway, Angelo
7:43
orders an espresso for Bay. And then he's like,
7:46
sorry, didn't realize the caffeine thing. I don't
7:49
know how to be a father to a 16 year old. And
7:51
then Bay says, well, maybe if you stuck around
7:53
with Daphne, you would have a better idea. Ooh.
7:57
Burn. Yeah. But then Angelo's like, what should
8:00
I do about that? To Bay. Which I don't feel is
8:03
appropriate. No. Angelo annoyed me so much this
8:06
episode. Yeah. Oh my God. But also he was looking
8:09
very handsome. I know. And Regina agrees. Also
8:12
later on when he's like, I need a haircut. I
8:14
was like, no, don't cut your hair. You're so
8:16
sexy. But then she runs her hand through his
8:18
hair. She's like, okay. My God. Daphne, if you
8:22
remember, was recruited onto the Buckner basketball
8:25
team and she's practicing her b-ball signs with
8:28
Toby. Yeah. Question about the signs. Is that,
8:31
do teams always do that? Are there signs for
8:33
every single play? Usually a sign or like a word.
8:37
Like I think when I was little, we had one call
8:40
that was like penguin. And then that meant that
8:42
someone ran to do a pick or something. Okay.
8:45
But I guess this Buckner team, they do like hand
8:48
signs. That's convenient. And then, yeah, Bay
8:50
comes in to be like, hey, I was just with Angelo
8:53
and he really wants to see you. Poor Bay that
8:57
she like not even this parent is solely focused
9:00
on her. And she has to be the messenger. Also,
9:03
I hate Daphne's gray and orange cardigan and
9:05
her little headband. I know. I just, I hated
9:08
it. I didn't hate Bay's outfits this episode.
9:10
I think Bay was fine. Well, they put Bay in a
9:12
lot of long necklaces in this episode. That was
9:16
so 2012 though. Long layered necklaces. I know,
9:18
doesn't mean I have to like it. I just think
9:21
putting Daphne in that much orange with her coloring
9:25
is like a ginger crime. And then. We're at
9:27
the guest house. Yeah, Daphne goes upstairs and
9:30
she's flipping through photo albums. She's looking
9:33
through old photo albums of her as a child. And
9:36
she sees a lot of missing photos that were removed
9:39
from the album. First of all, this is not her.
9:42
Usually when actors have baby pictures, they'll
9:46
get real baby pictures of the actor. So there
9:49
should have been young Katie LeClerc in these
9:52
albums. Yeah. But instead, we have some child
9:55
actor who looks like her pictures have been
9:57
professionally taken. They're like Canon
10:00
Coolpix. They're very glossy, like high res. High
10:04
res. Perfectly staged. Looks like they were just
10:06
taken yesterday. Because they were. Yeah, but
10:10
what? The girls were born in the early 90s, at
10:12
least. The photo quality would not be that good.
10:15
No. Unless they had a very expensive camera.
10:17
Most likely Regina would have had a point and
10:19
shoot or a disposable camera. And the quality
10:21
would not have been like that. No. Anyways, that
10:24
bothered me. I was like, you couldn't get any
10:27
old baby pictures of Katie LeClerc and then
10:29
like Photoshop them with Regina and Angelo? It's
10:32
also funny because this one day at the park that
10:35
they just took like 75 photos of. And then it
10:38
was just like more photos of the same park from
10:41
a different angle with Angelo in them. It looks
10:43
like they got a professional photographer. Yeah,
10:45
like the three of them in a professional photo
10:47
shoot. On this blue slide. Yeah, it's very not,
10:50
it's not very believable. I want to give a quick
10:52
shout out to Emma. Because the next note that
10:55
I had was everyone finds out that Emmett gets
10:58
arrested. But I was voiced to texting these notes.
11:02
And so it says everyone finds out Emma and like
11:05
the way she styled with emojis in my phone in
11:08
my contact has been arrested. So shout out to
11:11
you, Emma. Regina gets a text from Melody that
11:14
Emmett was arrested. And then she tells Daphne
11:16
and then Daphne tells Bay. Yeah. And then Bay
11:19
immediately goes to Melody's house. Which is
11:22
a bad idea, Bay. And is like, it's my fault.
11:26
Don't tell Melody that. First of all, Melody
11:28
already knows. Also, second of all, it's not.
11:30
Here's how, I feel conflicted about it. Because
11:33
Bay says it a lot this episode that it's like
11:35
her fault. I know that Emmett did that. And the
11:38
photos are from the time that he chose to do
11:40
it on his own as a birthday present to her. But
11:43
she had already asked him to do it with her.
11:45
And they had gone and almost gotten caught. But
11:47
then he took the initiative to go and do it alone
11:50
again. So I think it's more his fault. But I
11:52
do think that Melody's right to be like, if he
11:55
didn't know you, he would have not ever done
11:57
something this illegal and stupid. Also, he just
12:01
got home from the precinct. She's like, he is so
12:03
grounded. This is not the time. But I don't think
12:06
she's wrong in being like, there is a direct
12:08
line between what happened and me. Sure. Not
12:11
even just because he did it for her birthday.
12:13
If he had just found out she did street art and
12:16
then done that. That would have been weird.
12:18
Well, that would have been weird. And also, how
12:21
did you get the know how or whatever? But the
12:24
fact that she brought him first and they tried
12:26
to do it together and it went awry, I kind of
12:29
feel like they were only, he only, not to be
12:32
like he only got caught the second time because
12:34
they'd already tried and like the cops had pulled
12:36
up on them but like do we think they were keeping
12:38
an extra eye on that billboard? Maybe? People were
12:42
trying to tag it. That's a good point maybe. Which
12:44
if that's true that's Emmett's own fault because
12:46
you should have thought of that because that's
12:47
dumb. Don't go back to the scene of the crime.
12:49
Find a different billboard. Yeah find a different
12:52
billboard but anyway yeah Melody starts signing
12:56
to Bay ever since you and Emmett started hanging
12:58
out and she does the sign hanging out again. Reference
13:01
to last episode. Basically ever since you two
13:04
started hanging out he's been coming home with
13:06
bloody clothes and all this stuff and if you really
13:09
want to help, she fingerspells stay away. Yeah.
13:12
To Bay. Ouch. I feel for Bay in this interaction,
13:16
too, because Bay is like, please slow down. Like,
13:18
I'm trying to understand. And then you watch
13:21
her get so frustrated that she's trying to sign,
13:23
like, I want to help him. But she, like, can't.
13:26
She, like, signs it wrong and she has to redo
13:28
it. Right. And then Angelo shows up at the salon
13:31
and he's like. Ambushelo. Ambushelo is
13:35
back. But this time he's got long, flowy hair
13:37
and he's like. And money. Gina, I need you to
13:41
cut my hair. And she's like running her fingers
13:44
through it for some reason. It's, I get it. She
13:47
can't resist. He also says, one, I got an apartment.
13:51
And two, right near the apartment, I guess, there's
13:54
a space for her salon. And it's perfect for your
13:57
salon. And I have the money. No explanation of
14:01
where he gets the money. Yeah. Which she still
14:03
hasn't told him that she knew about the switch.
14:06
So like. I can't believe she's going along with
14:08
his plan. First she says no, but later on she's
14:11
going to cave. He is really pushing it, too.
14:14
Yeah, he wants her back, I think. Do you think?
14:17
I also wonder if he stands to get a profit from
14:20
the salon, too. I don't really understand his
14:22
motivations. He later says it's. To make up
14:26
for everything? To make up for leaving Daphne.
14:29
But that's such a weird... But what? How would
14:31
that... Anyway, after Ambushelo sees Regina
14:36
at the salon. It's game time at Buckner. And
14:39
Daphne's a benchwarmer. Poor Daphne. I have
14:41
been there. You have? I have played several games
14:45
where I've sat on the bench and not played. Yeah,
14:48
this was unrelatable to me completely. It sucks.
14:51
Because I've never played a sport. I guess I
14:54
thought that it wasn't that uncommon of an occurrence.
14:56
It happens often, especially for basketball.
14:59
But I think what's frustrating is that I guess
15:02
we as the audience know that Daphne is good.
15:04
But John, Kathryn, Toby and Regina are all
15:08
watching the game. Yeah. And then Toby accidentally
15:11
lets it slip that Kathryn is writing the book.
15:14
And Regina is not happy about this. No, she shuts
15:17
down so fast. Like she turns. She goes, do you
15:21
need more money or do you just want to humiliate
15:24
me? Crazy. But then Kathryn should have explained
15:27
that the journalist from the Kansas City Herald
15:30
was going to write a book about them instead
15:32
and exploit them. So she was just taking matters
15:35
into her own hands. And I think if she explained
15:37
that, Regina would have been more supportive.
15:39
I think so too. But I also don't think Regina
15:42
has any right to be like, no. Because Regina
15:45
goes, no. Like, I won't agree to that. And she
15:49
goes, you're not going to write without my cooperation.
15:51
And Kathryn said, I literally do not need your
15:54
cooperation. No. I feel like Regina can't just
15:57
like be normal about things. No, not at all.
16:00
The permission she really needs is from Bay and
16:03
Daphne. The kids. She really needs to make sure
16:05
they're okay with it. Yeah. I think, I guess
16:07
Regina's concern is being exposed to the world
16:11
that she knew about the switch. Oh, 100%. If I
16:13
were Regina, I also would not want that book
16:15
out there because I would look like the bad guy
16:17
because she kind of was. Yeah. And whose fault
16:20
is that? And whose fault is that? Anyway, yeah,
16:22
I don't have much sympathy for her. No. We're
16:25
at Carlton now and Bay goes to see Emmett because
16:28
he's been really distant. He hasn't been texting.
16:30
And he says, sorry, mom took away my phone. But
16:33
he's also being very evasive. Very evasive. And
16:36
Bay says basically that she wants to turn herself
16:39
in to the police. And Emmett is like, no, I did
16:43
it. And he's taking full responsibility for his
16:45
actions. Basically like, stay out of it. You've
16:47
done enough. And then Bay sees the bruises on
16:49
his wrists. Poor guy. And then she asks Emmett,
16:53
are we okay? And he says, sure. Painful. So painful.
16:57
Just don't say anything if your answer is going
16:59
to be sure. I know. Sure is such a painful answer.
17:02
Back at Buckner. Buckner wins. Yay. But it's
17:05
no fun because Daphne didn't play. And then Daphne
17:08
visits Emmett at home. Melody let her right in.
17:11
First thing she says is not, how are you? But
17:13
I think I'm going to see Angelo. That felt odd
17:16
to me. Do you think? I think maybe she sees Emmett
17:19
like self soothing with the music and being
17:21
all moody. And she's like, let me break the ice
17:24
with my problems. Maybe. Or maybe they texted.
17:28
Maybe. Before, beforehand. The big thing happening
17:30
right now with the Stranger Things ending is
17:33
that the Duffer brothers keep, when people are
17:36
like, what about this plot hole? Or like, what
17:38
about this loose end? They just keep saying,
17:40
well, it happened off screen. I hate that. So
17:42
now every time I have a question about the episode
17:45
we're watching where I'm like, wait, what? How
17:47
did that resolve itself? Well, it happened off
17:49
screen. Well, they texted off screen. I guess
17:51
they must have texted off screen. Or Daphne's
17:53
just being typically Daphne and a little self
17:56
centered. Yeah. Like, I'm sad about... Because
17:59
she's like, I'm going to see Angelo. And then
18:01
she's like, also, I sat on the bench during my
18:04
whole basketball game. But then she does ask
18:07
him about the experience of being arrested. Yeah.
18:09
She's like, hey. And it's so sad. He's on the
18:12
verge of tears the whole time. He says, it felt
18:15
like I was drowning. I hated being deaf, and I
18:18
also hated myself for feeling that way. Yeah.
18:21
Yeah. Poor guy. I wanted them to hug at the end.
18:24
I know. He just sits there on the bed, weeping.
18:27
And that's it. I feel that they should have hugged.
18:30
They really should have. It's my one note. Yeah.
18:32
And then at school, Simone flags Toby down, and
18:36
she's like, hey, I feel like I know why they're
18:38
not playing Daphne. We'll know what that's about.
18:40
And then Melody comes to meet Regina outside
18:43
of the salon for lunch. Melody just has a bowl
18:46
of strawberries. Stop, she's eating? It's just
18:49
a bowl of cut up strawberries. She says Emmett
18:51
has to do 20 hours of community service and pay
18:53
a $5,000 fine. Which I think is very
18:55
high. Not a lot of community service, though.
18:58
That's pretty low. It should be the opposite.
19:00
Right. 100 hours community service, $2,000 fine?
19:04
I don't know. Whatever. Maybe Kansas City really
19:06
cracks down on... trespassing and vandalism.
19:09
Which, trespassing? It's a billboard. I don't
19:13
know. This pisses me off so much. But then Melody
19:15
apologizes to Regina about game night. But I
19:18
do feel like when she apologizes, there is an
19:21
unspoken thing between them. I know no one else
19:24
knows that Bay does the street art, but I feel
19:26
like Regina can sense that Bay was probably involved
19:30
in whatever Emmett got into. Right. And Melody
19:32
at this point knows that Bay was involved. So
19:35
even though Melody does apologize, I feel like
19:38
there's this thing between them where they're
19:39
both like, yeah, but you may be a little bit
19:42
right, unfortunately. She hasn't apologized to
19:44
Bay and it doesn't seem like she will. And then
19:46
the $5,000 fine seems to be a stressor for Melody.
19:49
She's like, I don't know if we're going to get
19:50
that money. So that's it. So I don't think they're
19:53
flush with cash like that, despite their river
19:56
view. Guess not. Maybe a guidance counselor at
19:58
school for the deaf doesn't pay well. Oh, I always
20:00
forget that that's Melody's job. Yeah, she's
20:03
the guidance counselor. Have we, at this point,
20:05
we haven't seen her do that job. We just know
20:07
she does that job because she said it when she
20:09
was coaching. Yes, we haven't seen her teach
20:12
or anything. Okay, that explains why she's at
20:14
Carlton later. Because I was like, wait, she
20:16
just shows up and Emmett, like, leaves. We'll
20:18
get to it. Yeah. Okay, this is where I noted
20:21
that Bay sends Emmett a text and she spells out
20:24
the letters. Are you okay? Like the letter R?
20:29
Yeah. The letter U? Okay. Okay. And then Emmett
20:33
gets the text and the text is the words spelled
20:37
out. Are you okay? Guys. I know. Easy fix. Seriously.
20:41
I also was wondering, did he lie about Melody
20:46
taking away his phone and he's just actually
20:48
been ignoring her text? That's why I think too.
20:50
Because maybe she took it away at first, but
20:53
he sees the text and he flips the phone back
20:55
over. Yeah. So he is not answering Bay's text.
20:58
Now we're back at the Kennish house. Daphne goes
21:01
up to Toby and I think they're going to work
21:04
on some basketball signs again. And Toby's like,
21:06
yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool. But then
21:09
he very quickly drops that Simone or a friend.
21:13
Yeah, he hides Simone's identity for some reason.
21:16
He just says someone whose parent is on the board
21:19
of trustees told him that the only reason she
21:23
got recruited to Buckner is because Buckner
21:26
qualifies for a $20,000 grant for schools who
21:29
have students with disabilities participate in
21:31
sports. And Buckner wants the grant money for
21:34
new locker rooms. Okay. At this point, have we
21:37
not been to multiple Buckner fundraisers? Why
21:40
does this school need more money? I know. What
21:44
is wrong with their current locker rooms? And
21:46
even if something was wrong, just, like, throw
21:48
another gala. They're greedy. To take, presumably,
21:52
that's state money. That's right. And apparently
21:55
the coach has no interest in playing Daphne
21:57
because the principal basically shoved Daphne
22:00
down his throat. And Toby is like, well, you
22:02
just have to prove him wrong. Keep going to practice
22:04
and whatnot. But also. I think I'm like, why
22:07
can't you do both? Get the grant money and also
22:10
play Daphne because she's good. But this is very
22:12
upsetting news for Daphne. Yeah. And we'll see
22:15
this really bothers her for the rest of the episode.
22:17
Yeah, it really bothers her, which makes sense.
22:20
Which would bother me too. Yeah, of course. Someone
22:22
told me once that the only reason I got into
22:24
college was because I was deaf. It was the meanest
22:27
thing anyone's ever said to me. Why would they
22:29
say that? Were you like fighting physically?
22:32
Physically? No. Wait, what were you fighting about?
22:35
I don't remember. She was like, Kara, you think
22:38
you're so special. The only reason you got into
22:39
this is because you're deaf. She was like, you
22:42
make it like a whole thing. Like me being deaf,
22:44
like a whole thing. Who was this person? It was.
22:49
Wow. I know. Crazy. You're a better person than
22:53
me. I didn't know what to do. Anyway. So John's been
22:56
like, you need to tell the lawyer that you're
22:59
writing a book. So she's like, I'm going to go
23:01
by the office and. Her lawyer is out to lunch,
23:04
apparently, so she's leaving her voicemail. And
23:06
then she's like, oh, I see you right there. And
23:09
she sees the lawyer across the parking lot. Smooching.
23:12
Coming back from lunch, macking on some guy.
23:15
It's Dale from the hospital. The big reveal.
23:18
I just wrote some guy, and then I was like, I
23:20
know he's someone, but I didn't realize.
23:22
He's the guy that played golf with John. Yes.
23:25
And, like, slightly threatened to John. Yes.
23:28
That you should settle. Yes. So the big reveal.
23:31
is that her make out buddy is Dale from the
23:33
hospital board. Which, guys, that's a conflict
23:36
of interest. That is a huge conflict of interest.
23:38
And then pretty much after that is that, I'll
23:41
just clean up this plot line. Kathryn tells
23:43
John, and they fire her on the spot. They fire
23:46
her. But before then, she walks in and she has
23:49
something to tell them, and she never tells them
23:51
what it is. Yeah, I don't know. But then she's
23:53
like, fine, I'll send all the files from the
23:56
lawsuit over. And that's the last we see of her. Oh,
23:58
but also, I really liked when Kathryn said,
24:01
I thought she was a lesbian. Yeah, Kathryn
24:03
says, I'm just so surprised. I thought she was
24:05
a lesbian. And John goes, oh, because of her
24:07
haircut? And Kathryn goes, no, because I thought
24:10
she had a crush on me. She was kind of giving
24:12
lesbian in the show. She was giving lesbian.
24:14
Anyways, that's the last we see of Amanda, really.
24:16
Bye, Amanda. Bye, Amanda. She's gone the way
24:19
of Liam. And then Daphne is at the Buckner Library,
24:22
and she's waiting for her cooking class to start.
24:25
When? What time of day do we think this class
24:29
is taking place? It's gotta be afternoon? Because
24:33
like, how does she have free time to just hang
24:36
out in the library before cooking class if she's
24:39
taking a full class load at Carlton? I don't
24:43
know. Maybe she skipped lunch and went to the
24:46
library and then maybe the cooking class is after
24:48
lunch. Maybe. It happened off screen. Literally,
24:52
it happened off screen. But Simone comes and
24:55
is like, By the way, I'm also going to tell you
24:58
the Buckner thing. But Daphne's like, you already
25:00
know? And Simone's like, no, I'm the one that
25:03
dropped it. But Daphne's furious that Simone
25:06
didn't tell her straight up instead of going
25:08
to Toby first. Yeah, I felt it was odd that she
25:10
went to Toby first. Do we think she was trying
25:12
to convince Toby that she's a good person because
25:14
she's trying to date Toby? Is she trying to date
25:17
Toby? Yes, for sure. I did not catch that. Oh,
25:20
there's like a real vibe between them. Okay,
25:22
maybe. So, like, that would be my only thoughts
25:25
on her motivation for doing that. I don't know.
25:27
Yeah, I was going to say, what is the point of
25:31
sharing that information at all? It seems only
25:34
hurtful. For one, I think Simone didn't want
25:36
to get caught. Like, I don't think Simone knew
25:39
that when Simone was encouraging Daphne to join
25:41
the team. No, of course not. But I think that
25:45
she doesn't want it to look like she was in on
25:47
it somehow if that plot gets revealed and it's
25:51
revealed that that's her dad doing that. Because
25:52
she's a historically like a bitch at the school.
25:55
Yes, and then two, she does genuinely care about
25:59
Daphne from what I can tell and she doesn't want,
26:02
she doesn't want Daphne to like kill herself
26:05
practicing and take it personally when in reality
26:09
like Simone's like it's really not about you
26:12
at all. It's out of your hands. Yeah I guess that's fair.
26:15
But she should have just come directly to Daphne.
26:17
But I guess they weren't close enough friends.
26:19
Maybe she didn't know how Daphne would react.
26:21
I don't know. They made out with guys in front of
26:23
each other. I think that's really connecting.
26:26
So then Daphne is back at the Kennish house reading
26:28
As I Lay Dying. By William Faulkner. Have you
26:32
read it? No. But apparently it's a really heavy
26:34
book because both Bay and Toby make a comment
26:36
like, wow, doing some light reading, huh? Like
26:39
brother like sister. Yeah. Bay asks Daphne, hey
26:43
how's Emmett doing? Is he mad at me? Has he talked
26:47
about me? Is he on phone lockdown or what's going
26:50
on? And Daphne's being, Daphne's in such a bad
26:53
mood after hearing about the grant thing.
26:56
She immediately snaps at Bay and is like it's not
26:58
about you. And she's right, to be fair. She's right
27:01
basically Emmett's traumatized from the arrest
27:04
and she said you don't get it and you never will
27:06
get it. And then Bay says, I feel like you guys
27:09
being deaf is like being lorded over me. And Daphne
27:13
says the fact that you even think it's something
27:15
to lord over you means you'll truly never get
27:18
it. Yeah. I do think this is a classic case of
27:21
like, it is not about you, Bay. And she's making
27:24
it about her. I do think it would have been nice
27:26
for Emmett to send a text like, hey, I need some
27:28
space. Yeah. But also, I don't think she realizes
27:31
like how upsetting this was. Yeah, totally. Because
27:35
she doesn't know. No one's telling her. She doesn't
27:38
know. Bay storms off and then Toby comes. He
27:41
makes his own As I Lay Dying joke. And then she's
27:45
like, wow, I'm really not in the mood for this.
27:47
And he's like, what's wrong? And she's basically
27:50
just feeling very down on herself about being
27:53
deaf. What does she say? Oh, she says like, I'm
27:56
disabled. It's a miracle I can talk to you and
27:59
hold this book at the same time. And Toby's like,
28:01
whoa. You're never like this. Yeah. He's like,
28:05
what's up? And it happens off screen, guys. We
28:07
don't find out what's up. But then she goes to
28:10
Angelo's apartment. Yes. And it's revealed when
28:13
she unloads on him that, yeah, that he's the
28:16
source of whenever she feels like discriminated
28:19
against or like someone's discounting her. It
28:23
reminds her of when her father left her. She
28:24
knocks on the door. He opens it. And the first
28:27
thing she says is, did you leave me because I
28:29
went deaf? What happened to hello? How are you?
28:32
You know, deaf people are blunt like that. She
28:35
said, let's cut to the point. I know. Very awkward
28:37
conversation. He invites her in. But it's kind
28:40
of sweet, too. Yeah. It kind of warmed my heart
28:43
a little bit. He's like, I'm making soup. You
28:46
used to love the soup when you were a child.
28:48
And then she's thinking about it. And she's like,
28:50
did you used to sing when you cooked? And he said,
28:52
yeah. And then he sings the song a little bit.
28:54
And I swooned a little. He's so cute. It's sweet.
28:57
And then. But then he drops
29:00
a stupid, ignorant question. Do you remember
29:02
sound? And then he's like, never mind, don't
29:04
answer that. It reminds me of when we first saw
29:07
him and then he was like, you didn't even understand
29:09
anything I said, did you? Yeah, he's so ignorant.
29:12
But it's nice to have little reminders that he's
29:15
trying, but he's still so ignorant. It's nice
29:17
at least that he corrects himself and that he's
29:19
like, I don't know what to say. At least he's
29:21
self aware a little bit. But then, yeah, Daphne's
29:24
just like, I need you to answer the question.
29:26
Why did you leave? And like the main reasons
29:29
he says is, one, you didn't look anything like
29:31
me. Regina and I were fighting all the time and
29:34
I felt like Regina was lying. But then she asks
29:36
him again, one last time, if he left because
29:39
she went deaf. And he says, maybe a little. Ouch.
29:42
Ouch. But she says, thank you for telling me
29:44
the truth. And then she leaves. And she leaves.
29:47
Yeah. And then. We're at the salon. Yeah, Regina's
29:50
leaving the salon. And Geraldo's like, hey, heard
29:53
that you're gonna open a competing salon. And
29:57
he basically threatens her. Yeah. He's like,
30:00
after all I've done for you. And she's like,
30:02
after all I've done for you, I brought you 10
30:04
new clients and a lot of income for your salon.
30:07
I don't really have any skin in this game. No,
30:10
I'm like, who cares? I don't know Geraldo. I
30:13
don't care. Yeah, Geraldo will be fine. But also
30:15
like Regina, I still don't think you should open
30:17
your own salon. But also if another salon opens
30:20
up, who cares? We don't need a monopoly, guys. No.
30:23
And then, yeah, Melody is out near the lunch
30:27
tables at Carlton and Emmett's out there. And
30:29
he's like, I know I should be in trig right now.
30:31
And she's like, I don't care. I'm not mad. Emmett,
30:33
if you're already in trouble, maybe stop skipping
30:35
class. I'm begging you to go to class for once.
30:38
Please. He is never in class. No. And you've
30:42
been failing. And he's been failing things. Yeah.
30:44
And then she's like, I hope everything's okay.
30:47
Maybe something good will come out of all this
30:49
adversity. And maybe you've learned something
30:51
from this. And he goes, what? I'll break up with
30:54
Bay? Emmett. He's acting like such a teenager.
30:58
He's a teenager. I know he is one. I feel at
31:01
this point like he's making Melody's case too
31:03
easy for her with the way he's behaving. But
31:05
don't you think he's also thinking that himself?
31:08
Thinking about breaking up with Bay? Yeah. No.
31:11
No? I don't think so. He's been so distant. He's
31:15
not talking to her. Yeah, but then at the end
31:16
of the episode, he shares that it's, like, it's
31:18
not you. It's, like, all hearing people. Like,
31:20
I'm having really complicated feelings about
31:22
hearing people. Sure. Like, it's really not.
31:25
It's not that he's taking it out on Bay, but
31:27
he just, like, really needs, like, space. And
31:29
no one's giving it to him. Yeah, you're right.
31:32
But I don't think he should be storming off from
31:35
his mom and skipping class. Like, go to trig.
31:38
Go to trig. I liked trig when I took it. And
31:41
then Daphne comes to Bay. Bay's in the art studio
31:44
aggressively painting. Painting a piece I think
31:47
we will see shortly. Daphne tells Bay that she
31:49
just saw Angelo. And basically says, like, honestly,
31:53
I feel sorry for the guy. She says, I went there.
31:55
And Bay's like, how did it go? And Daphne's like,
31:57
honestly, why do you care what I think? Right.
32:00
Why do you care so much? And Bay says. I don't
32:04
know. He's my dad. Like, he's my bio dad. And
32:07
you hit the jackpot with bio dads. Yeah, you
32:09
hit the jackpot. And I want you to like him,
32:13
basically. Yeah. I guess what goes unspoken in
32:16
this scene is that, like, Daphne and Bay do care
32:18
about each other. They do. And Bay doesn't say
32:21
it, but she wants to be like, I want your, like,
32:24
approval about this situation because I care
32:26
about you. But then Daphne is like, oh, shit,
32:29
you're right. I did hit the jackpot in the bio
32:31
dad department. So she goes up to John, does
32:34
not tell him about the grant thing at Buckner,
32:36
but instead says, hey, I would love for you to
32:39
coach me so I can improve. And so the coach will
32:42
let me play. And he says, are you sure? Some
32:46
ex players of mine have been known to call me
32:48
a hard ass. It's cute. Also, he's reading Sports
32:50
Illustrated when she walks up, which is just
32:53
so funny to me. Because he likes sports, guys.
32:56
Guys, that's his one personality trait. He's
32:58
a good dad and he likes sports. And then Regina
33:02
shows up at Angelo's apartment as well. Angelo
33:05
just is opening that front door to all kinds
33:07
of surprises today. He doesn't have a peephole.
33:10
Also, he's home all day. Well, he doesn't have
33:12
a job yet. What did he do for a living before?
33:15
Why does he have so much money? I don't remember.
33:19
We don't know. She goes to Angelo's apartment.
33:23
She's like, I want to give the salon a shot.
33:24
And they start like drawing and dreaming about
33:27
what the salon is going to look like. And then
33:29
Bay shows up to do a grand romantic gesture for
33:32
Emmett at his house. And she begins by shining
33:35
a flashlight in his window to get his attention,
33:37
which I think is actually a pretty good idea.
33:39
It's very smart. Yeah. That would work. And she's
33:41
trying to like sign at him from far away. I like
33:43
when he is. He says, like, I can't leave. I don't
33:47
want to add to my rap sheet. And she's down below.
33:49
She goes, was that rap sheet? And then she goes,
33:51
that's kind of hot. Yeah, I love it when you
33:54
talk con. But she is like, come on, like, you're
33:57
not going to get in trouble. And then she fully
33:59
takes him out of the house, which I thought he
34:02
was grounded. He is grounded. He would be in
34:04
big trouble if Melody heard. Thank God he has
34:06
a deaf mom. This is just like when Bay, in like
34:10
episode two, comes home. And John catches her
34:13
sneaking back in and she goes, don't worry, I
34:15
wasn't doing anything illegal. And she literally was.
34:17
Well, this time she's not doing anything illegal.
34:19
That's true, but she is still breaking the rule
34:21
that Melody set. She's like, we're not going
34:23
to get in trouble. But Emmett would get in trouble.
34:25
Emmett would get in trouble if Melody found out.
34:28
But I think maybe Bay is like, whatever, your
34:30
mom's deaf. She's not going to hear you leave.
34:32
I feel like she could feel his footsteps leave.
34:35
What? Are the bedrooms right next to each other?
34:37
I don't know the layout of this house. We don't
34:38
know the layout of their house, but it is a two
34:40
story. It is a two story. So, like, what? I
34:43
feel like usually it's, like, the stairs go over
34:46
the master bedroom. But he... Oh, yeah, I guess
34:49
he went down the stairs. For some reason, I thought
34:50
he went out the window. But he was on the second
34:53
floor, so... Yeah. And there's no ladder. No,
34:56
this isn't Twilight for real. He's not going
34:58
in and out of the window. Anyway, she brings
35:00
Emmett outside, and they're sitting at a bench
35:03
in front of a blank wall. And she tells him,
35:06
she understands he's mad at her and at the police,
35:09
but she wants him to explain how he feels. And
35:11
then this is when he says, sometimes I really
35:13
hate hearing people. But I think Bay shows some
35:16
growth here because I think in the past if Emmett
35:18
said, I really hate hearing people, she would
35:21
have said, I'm hearing. Yeah, he even says like,
35:24
you're not going to want to hear what I have
35:25
to say. But she fully accepts it. She accepts
35:28
it. Her face changes. But she doesn't say anything.
35:31
No, she just goes, okay. And he's like. Yeah.
35:34
So, you know, that's you. But then she says,
35:38
yeah, but no one is better at hating the world
35:41
than me. Okay, rich white girl. I know. I'm like,
35:44
okay. And then she's like, so how much more fun
35:46
is it to do it together than apart? You and me
35:50
against the world. Yeah. Which I think is, I
35:54
don't know, it seems to make Emmett feel better.
35:55
And then she pulls out a projector. And she projects
35:59
the new piece that she was painting that's her
36:02
and Emmett on the motorcycle. I don't know if
36:05
we know that the motorcycle is named Ripley,
36:06
but the motorcycle is named Ripley. Oh, yeah.
36:09
Emmett's motorcycle's name is Ripley. Oh, that's
36:10
right. They're on the motorcycle and the motorcycle
36:12
is going through a wall and one of them is holding
36:14
an axe. Yeah. So it's a new version of Axe Girl.
36:17
Great job, Bay. Yeah. And it is projected, not
36:20
spray painted on the wall. So it's legal. And
36:23
she says, just because we can't do street art,
36:26
doesn't mean we can't do street art. Emmett is
36:28
delighted. Yeah. He loves this. It really works.
36:31
So. Yeah. So. That's great. Good job, guys. And
36:34
then back at the Kennish house, John is like,
36:36
we got all the boxes from the lawyer that we
36:39
just fired. Basically in Angelo's file for the
36:42
last two years, he's dropped off the face of
36:44
the earth. Yeah. John discovered that Amanda
36:47
hired a private investigator to track down Angelo's
36:50
history. And there's no record of him for the
36:52
past two years. He vanished off the face of the
36:54
earth. Yeah. What was he doing? We don't know.
36:56
We don't know. We don't know how he got that
36:58
money. We don't know how he's affording this
36:59
apartment. Could this have to do with the fact
37:02
that his credit card says Adam, but his ID says
37:05
Angelo? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about
37:07
it. And then, oh yeah. They're back at Angelo's
37:09
and they're still, they're like reminiscing and
37:12
talking about. The salon. What Regina's going
37:14
to name her salon. This just feels so unearned.
37:17
She's going to name it Gina's. She's going to
37:19
name it Gina's. But he's kind of filling in some
37:21
backstory to make us care more about this. He's
37:23
like, you've always wanted to open your own salon.
37:26
They make it sound like they've been together
37:27
for 30 years. Yeah. And then they tell this story,
37:30
which should be charming or is meant to be charming,
37:33
but comes across so like terrible to me. They're
37:37
at Regina's cousin's wedding. Well, the salsa
37:39
music is playing on like his iPod or something.
37:41
Yeah. And Regina's like, oh, my God, the song
37:43
is I Like it Like That. They turn it up. And
37:46
then Angelo's like, remember your cousin's wedding.
37:48
And at Regina's cousin's wedding, this song played
37:52
as a first dance song for the couple getting
37:56
married. And Regina and Angelo didn't notice
37:58
and got up and started dancing during the couple's
38:01
first dance. Are they dumb? I would be. Furious.
38:05
Furious. Well, she said her cousin didn't talk
38:06
to her for months after. I don't think I would
38:08
talk to her ever again. That's crazy behavior.
38:11
Yes. Especially, I'm like, you didn't realize
38:13
and then sit back down? Didn't you hear the emcee
38:16
say... Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the
38:18
first dance. Right. They're not deaf. They should
38:21
have heard. Right. It made me hate them so much.
38:24
And it was meant to be like romantic because
38:26
then they start dancing and it's very, you know,
38:28
they're both very good dancers. I was like, they're
38:30
insufferable. The two of them. It just fades
38:33
to black with them dancing together being insufferable.
38:37
Yeah. I do not like them as a couple. As handsome
38:40
as I find Angelo, like I'm not rooting for him
38:42
and Regina. Not at all. They're so bad for each
38:45
other. Also, I missed Wilke this episode. Oh
38:48
my god, yeah. They can't afford Austin Butler
38:51
and the actor that plays Angelo. I bet. Anyway,
38:55
yeah. I don't know. I don't really have anything
38:57
else to say. I was just, like, trying to tie
39:00
the Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear to the episode
39:03
itself. And I was like, are they taking it really
39:06
literally because Emmett is deaf? Dude, yeah. But
39:10
then I was like... He's struggling with pain,
39:12
like the bruises from the handcuffs and a mental
39:14
struggle after the trauma of being arrested.
39:16
No, it's never that deep. It's never that deep
39:18
with them. They were like, let's make it the
39:20
ear one. When the song started playing between
39:23
Angelo and Regina, I thought it was going to
39:25
be that goddamn bird song for like the 45th time.
39:29
I really thought. I'd be really excited. To hear
39:32
it again. Guys, they bought the rights to a new
39:35
song. Thanks for listening. Talk to you guys
39:38
next week. Bye. Bye.
