Today in books used to stabilize my mic, I have
0:04
Twilight director's handbook signed by Catherine
0:08
Hardwick. Who's Catherine Hardwick? The director
0:11
of Twilight. That's amazing. Did you meet her?
0:14
No, but my friend's dad was a poster designer
0:19
and he worked on her next film, which was like
0:22
the Little Red Riding Hood retelling with Amanda
0:25
Seyfried. Yes, I remember that. Which honestly
0:27
kind of rocked. Really? It was like really dark
0:30
and fucked up. Okay, nice. I was the only one
0:33
of my friends who liked Twilight at the time.
0:36
When I was 12 years old, I was a pioneer. You
0:39
were. You really were. Because all of my friends
0:41
were in the camp of like, he sparkles in the
0:44
sun, like this is so cringe and embarrassing.
0:46
And I was like, you guys don't understand true
0:49
love or real yearning. So anyway, but so my friend
0:52
Zoe, shout out, she listens to the pod. Her dad
0:55
got me the book and had Kathryn sign it. And
0:59
she was like, here you go, you weirdo, that you
1:01
like this movie. Thank you, Zoe. I know. Thanks,
1:04
Zoe. Just so you guys know, I'm getting over
1:06
a cold. So if I sound weird, that's why. But
1:09
I was kind of hoping to have like, you know,
1:11
in Friends when Phoebe gets sick and she has
1:13
sexy voice? You're talking to the wrong person.
1:16
You haven't seen Friends. I never liked Friends.
1:18
What? Sorry. I'm listening to a whole podcast
1:22
right now, Caroline O'Donoghue's podcast series
1:24
about Friends. Okay. Called Friends Through a
1:27
Lens. That's how much I like it. Yeah, it's great.
1:29
Great name. No, I never got into Friends. I remember
1:32
watching your, Friends growing up and I just was
1:36
like, this isn't funny. Wow. Maybe I was kind
1:39
of ahead of the time because I think now a lot
1:41
of people are like, this isn't funny. No, I would
1:44
actually argue in the 2010s, people were like,
1:46
this isn't funny. And then it's really come back
1:49
around. I don't know. I just, it never stuck
1:52
with me. I think you're wrong and you should
1:53
give it another chance. I think some of the writing
1:56
is really good for a sitcom. It has a laugh track,
1:59
right? Most sitcoms have a laugh track. That's
2:01
my thing. My pet peeve is when the show has a
2:04
laugh track. I hate laugh tracks. Have you considered
2:07
taking your implants out and watching it deaf?
2:10
So I'm just reading. I'm just reading. Yeah.
2:12
And looking at the great 90s outfits. Maybe.
2:15
Anyway, there's an episode where Phoebe gets
2:18
a cold. And she still has to play her gig at
2:21
the cafe and she does it. But because she's like
2:24
losing her voice, she sounds really sexy. I love
2:26
that. Is it like a little rasp? Yeah, a little
2:29
rasp. But I don't think I have one today. I think
2:32
I just maybe sound a little nasally. Maybe. You're
2:35
asking the wrong person. I know. Did you have
2:37
a good time in LA? I did. It was really nice
2:39
for it to be 75 degrees outside. Yeah, it's really
2:42
cold here. Yeah, although when I landed here,
2:45
I landed at JFK at 6 a .m. and it had just started
2:49
really snowing. And I love snow. I was taking
2:53
pictures in the Uber like it was a concert. It
2:56
was magical. A grew up in a country where it
3:00
does not snow. So when we first met, we lived
3:04
in Boston. There's a lot of snow in Boston. They
3:06
were on top of the world, constantly going outside.
3:09
Okay. Yeah, I like winter enthusiasm. Yeah. In
3:13
Los Angeles, my mother made her egg lasagna that
3:18
she makes for Christmas. What is it called in
3:19
the Family Stone that she makes? I need to look
3:22
it up. We just talked about it. It was basically
3:24
like an egg casserole, but they didn't call it
3:26
that. It was, but it had a fancy name. Guys,
3:29
you haven't heard it yet because this episode
3:31
is coming out this week. This is one of the only
3:34
times we're recording the week it's going to
3:36
come out due to some scheduling issues. But next
3:40
week. Our bonus episode on The Family Stone will
3:43
come out on Christmas. Merry Christmas in advance.
3:45
And we are very confused about the dish that
3:49
is at the centerpiece of the movie. But... It's
3:52
an egg breakfast dish. It's like an egg breakfast
3:54
lasagna. But then at the end of the episode,
3:57
I was like, well, my mom does make an egg breakfast
4:00
lasagna. And then I did ask her to make it when
4:02
I was home. Because I'm not going to be there
4:04
on Christmas proper. And it was delicious. So
4:07
maybe we shouldn't have been making fun of Meredith
4:10
with all those. No, we should have. I grew up
4:14
eating normal Italian lasagna. So having egg
4:17
with it seems a little suspicious. But I'm open
4:20
to trying. I'm pretty open to putting egg on
4:22
things for someone that gets the egg ick. Like
4:25
when I ate burgers, I loved a breakfast burger
4:27
with egg on it. No, I never tried egg with like
4:30
a burger. I love egg in a fried rice. Yeah. Nice
4:34
fried egg on top of my rice. On an avocado toast,
4:38
big fan. Yeah, I had that this morning. Really?
4:41
Yeah. I just, the avocados in New York, something
4:44
about them, I can't. Trader Joe's. Yeah. It's
4:47
just Trader Joe's avocados. The teeny tiny avocados.
4:50
Those were the ones that I always liked as well.
4:52
But I kept getting, like, they wouldn't ripen
4:55
right here. Basically what I'm saying is I'm
4:58
an asshole and I only eat avocado in California.
5:02
And I'm so sorry to everyone that's learning
5:04
that. Whatever, support your local economy. Oh
5:13
my god, dude. I was so excited when I realized
5:22
this was the episode. Season 1, episode 10, The
5:25
Homecoming. Which came out August 8th, 2011.
5:29
Did you get a chance to look at the painting?
5:30
I did. The painting, The Homecoming by Jenny
5:34
Augusta Brownscombe. And it shows a woman holding
5:37
a baby and greeting a man who looks like he's
5:40
returned home. Yeah. Which makes sense because
5:43
a man has returned. A man has returned. Yeah,
5:47
we open on what I started to text you. As this
5:52
scene was happening. Finally, a happy, no conflict
5:55
moment between Daphne and Emmett. It's been so
5:58
long. It's been no conflict moment because she
6:01
sees the shrine. Yeah, immediately. But it's just
6:04
them like talking for two seconds. And I was
6:06
like, oh, so happy to see my besties back together.
6:09
And then immediately they're planning a fundraiser
6:12
for Carlton. Yes. Emmett lets her talk and talk
6:15
about her ideas. And then she shows him a little
6:18
drawing she made for the t -shirts. And can I
6:21
just say, the drawing, she's like, this is a rough
6:24
sketch. And it's like, it's cute. It's like hands
6:26
fingerspelling Carlton. And then it says Carlton
6:28
could use a hand. That's cute. It's really cute.
6:31
You know what, it's much better than Bay's sketches
6:33
from last week. That is exactly what I was thinking.
6:35
I was like wait is Daphne like a really good
6:37
artist? She's Axe Girl. And we've just like
6:39
never noticed it makes sense because like she
6:41
grew up with Regina. Obviously some of that talent
6:44
is natural but it's probably also fostered. Yeah.
6:46
By having a mom who's an artist and I was like
6:50
wait those are really good and we just focus
6:52
on them for a second but I was like huh those
6:55
are way better than Bay's sketches sorry to Bay.
6:57
And then Emmett says throw that shit out because
6:59
we're doing a car wash fundraiser because I already
7:02
talked to Bay. It's done. Well first he says I talked
7:04
to John and I'm like that is so weird for so
7:07
many reasons I understand. He talked to John? Yeah he said
7:10
I talked to John already it's done. And Daphne
7:12
gets prickly immediately. Can you imagine if I
7:15
was like Kara, don't worry. I talked to your
7:17
mom. It's all sorted out. My, how'd you talk
7:19
to my mother? Right. Like so many questions.
7:22
Also, why would you talk to my mom without going
7:24
through me? Like what kind of relationship do
7:27
you guys have? And I also feel I have spent more
7:29
time with your mother than Emmett has spent with
7:32
John. Anyway, Emmett's like, I talked to Bay.
7:35
Why would he do anything through Bay when he
7:38
and Daphne are co -organizing the fundraiser?
7:41
Why wouldn't he have just gone through Daphne?
7:43
I bet he just mentioned it offhand to Bay and
7:46
then Bay was like, oh, I have an idea. Let's
7:49
just use our family car wash. And then she went
7:52
to John. Yeah, Bay was probably really gungho
7:55
about being able to help. Yeah, I think that's
7:57
what she wanted to do. That seems very Bay. But
7:59
yeah, so Daphne's like, what the hell? And then
8:02
she looks behind her and she has been replaced
8:05
on the shrine. The Daphne shrine is gone. It
8:08
is almost as if he has cut off the head of Daphne
8:11
in photos and like pasted Bay on. Um also they're
8:17
all from like two days because they've only been
8:19
dating for like two weeks. It's all like the junkyard
8:21
photo shoot and then maybe one other photo shoot.
8:24
Yeah that's it. I think it's, I think it was two
8:28
episodes ago where Daphne is drunk from hanging
8:31
out with Wilke and she spends the night at Emmett's
8:33
house. And then she finds those photos from the
8:35
junkyard printed and on the table. And she's
8:37
like, what the hell? And we were like, why would
8:39
you just have those printed photos out? It's
8:41
because Emmett went to the photo shop and like
8:43
printed the photos out because he was intending
8:46
to replace. He went to CVS and printed out those
8:49
Kodak pictures. Man, that boy was ready. He was
8:52
like, OK, swap them out. And then Emmett's like,
8:55
wait, Bay didn't talk to you? Because Daphne's
8:57
like, why the hell? Do you have so many photos
9:00
of her up? And he's like, because I guess the
9:01
last time Emmett saw Bay, she was like, I'm going
9:04
to go and tell Daphne right now that we're together.
9:06
After the billboard. Yeah. And then he was like,
9:08
cool. And then you just never followed up? I
9:11
guess they never followed up. Maybe it's only
9:13
been one day? I still feel like I would have
9:15
shot a text like, hey, how'd it go? I would be
9:18
very curious. Yeah. But no. Again, the show is
9:22
so bad at explaining the timeline. We get some timeline
9:25
info in just a second though so hold on because
9:28
I was really excited about it. Okay. So does he
9:31
tell Daphne in that scene I am dating Bay. Yes.
9:34
Okay. He's like Bay didn't talk to you? And Daphne's
9:36
like no and Emmett's like, he goes oh we and she
9:39
just stops him she goes hold on yeah she's like
9:42
hold on you told me like two weeks ago that if
9:45
is it Brooklyn Decker is that the supermodel
9:47
he's always? Yes. If Brooklyn Decker like came
9:50
down from the heavens and asked to be your girlfriend,
9:53
you would wait for a deaf girl and Emmett goes
9:56
I did wait. Mic drop. He's like I did wait and
10:01
there's just like a moment of like a pause where
10:04
Daphne like lets that sink in. So good. Um and
10:08
she's basically just like no I don't like this
10:10
whatever storms out. Okay. And then Bay. She is
10:14
grinning ear to ear at her art show at Buckner.
10:18
Yeah. There's some art show at Buckner. It feels
10:21
very random. Like this is the first we've heard
10:23
of it. I don't know. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. She
10:26
also looks really cute. She has a little butterfly
10:28
clips in her ears. I like the like space bun
10:30
situation going on. She does. This is a rare
10:33
Bay outfit that I actually quite like. Yeah.
10:36
This was a favorite. Yeah. Yeah. No one's outfit
10:39
like super offended me this episode. Yeah. Except
10:42
for Toby's vest but we'll get into that later.
10:45
Bay is presenting her art at this art show and this
10:48
man comes up out of nowhere. He's looking at her
10:51
art he's like this is pretty cool. The two of
10:54
them get chatting and then. Side note he's gorgeous.
10:57
Sure. We have to talk about. He has like a nice
11:01
little accent. French? French accent. Yeah I think
11:03
so. But he doesn't even introduce himself. No. He
11:06
just says hey. She, he notices that she has a guitar
11:10
pick around her wrist. So she's wearing Angelo's
11:14
guitar pick as a bracelet around her wrist. Yes.
11:17
And he's like, wonder where you got my lucky
11:19
guitar pick. And that's how he reveals that he
11:22
is Angelo. That is crazy. He is such a bad father
11:25
figure. But as like a man, swoon, unfortunately
11:29
for me, I'm like, it would work on me. What,
11:32
as your dad? No, as a man. Okay. As, like, a
11:36
romantic man. Like, I understand, like, later
11:38
on in the episode, I feel like Regina's like,
11:40
I hate this man. And then every time he goes
11:41
to talk to her, she's like, okay. And I get it.
11:44
Sure. I get it. He's gorgeous. Anyways, we should
11:48
probably say Angelo's played by the French actor.
11:50
I'm going to butcher his first name. Giles? Gilles?
11:53
Marini? Oh. Gilles Marini? I don't know either.
11:57
I think I've always said Giles, but... I could
12:00
be wrong. That didn't sound French, though. Gilles.
12:02
Gilles. Well, I didn't take French in high school.
12:05
I took Italian. Me neither. I took Spanish. Also,
12:07
school just let in a strange man? I think the
12:10
event is an art show, but then later on, Kathryn's
12:14
like, honey, come sign up for the celebrity golf
12:17
tournament. So I think it's like a fundraiser
12:19
for the school or like an open house kind of
12:21
event. He says later he saw that the art show
12:24
was happening in the paper or something in like
12:26
local events. So he was like, it's not like I
12:28
was weird. It was like open to anybody. Yeah this
12:31
man loves the local Kansas news. Yeah he is reading
12:34
that newspaper, he is supporting local media for
12:38
sure. He's supporting the Kansas City Herald, he's
12:41
supporting whatever paper that. Chicago Tribune
12:44
I think. Chicago Tribune and whatever said that
12:48
the Buckner art celebration was happening. But
12:50
um then John comes up because he's like oh who's
12:53
this man talking to my daughter. And then Angelo
12:56
introduces himself as a gallery owner. No, Bay
12:59
does. Bay does. Angelo was gonna, I think Angelo
13:02
was gonna be like, I'm dad. I'm, yeah, I'm the
13:05
dad. Crazy. I'm the daddy. But John is like,
13:10
who is this, honey? And Bay's like, a gallery
13:12
owner. Which I think is the right thing to do.
13:14
Judging by his reaction later, yes, it was. You're
13:18
in public. This is not the time. I did make a
13:20
note because like my one issue with, it's not
13:23
Angelo as a character. I do think it's a little.
13:26
It's like the actor's fault, but I don't think
13:28
he can help it. He is so... I've only ever seen
13:31
him play like... He's very charismatic. Charismatic,
13:34
charming, sexy men. Yes. But I like have a hard
13:37
time believing him as a dad because even when
13:41
he's like, it's nice to meet you, sweetheart.
13:43
It like feels flirty to me the way he says it.
13:46
It's so odd. Even though it's not. And I think
13:49
it is genuinely just that this man, this actor,
13:51
Giles, Gills, has like a raw... charisma that
13:55
cannot be. He's not dad, he's not daddy. He's not
13:59
a dad, he's daddy. He's not dad he's daddy. Yeah.
14:02
Yeah interesting casting but that works because
14:06
he was never going to be dad. Because then their
14:09
next interaction is like at the hotel bar. Yeah.
14:12
I'm like that is a weird place to meet your teenage
14:15
daughter. It's so strange. Like other people in
14:17
that bar probably think that something like salacious
14:21
is going down. Yeah. So after Buckner, John and
14:24
Kathryn are with their lawyer talking about
14:27
the hospital case. And apparently the hospital
14:29
has reduced their offer and they want to do a
14:32
no fault clause. As in, it's not their fault that
14:36
the babies were switched to birth. That's kind
14:38
of it. Next, we're at Geraldo's salon. Regina's
14:42
there. Regina's there. None the wiser to anything
14:45
going on. None the wiser. She's just like, so
14:47
excited to get my check. And I think this is
14:50
her first paycheck. Yes. Because she seems confused.
14:53
Okay. So this is her first paycheck. And this
14:55
is where we get the timeline check. Okay. Because
14:59
she says this is for a whole month. So she's
15:02
worked there at least a month. Okay. And I feel
15:04
like she started at Geraldo's like one or two
15:07
weeks after moving in to the Kennishes. Okay.
15:11
So I'm putting us at about six weeks. Later on
15:13
in the episode, Kathryn does say, quote, dealing
15:16
with Regina all these past months. But I think
15:19
that between finding out the girls were switched
15:22
and them coming over that first time, there was,
15:25
like, a couple of weeks. But they don't tell
15:27
us that. In the, like, pilot episode, they kind
15:30
of imply it's been, like, some time. Right. I
15:34
think it's been a few. Since they've met. Okay.
15:35
So since they've initially found out. Yeah. And
15:39
then since they're now coming over to the Kennish
15:41
house. So I think, like, that we can maybe say,
15:44
like, two weeks max. And then. Maybe a week between
15:48
that meeting and when Daphne is, like, Regina
15:52
can't pay rent. So we're going to have to, like,
15:53
move out of state. And then they move in. And
15:56
then it's been. So, like, I think at max it's
15:59
been, like, two months and one week. That is,
16:01
like, the max. So when Kathryn says, like,
16:03
all these months, she really just means two months.
16:05
Okay. Good to know. I feel like I need to draw
16:09
a physical timeline for myself. Okay. Like, red
16:12
tape all over the walls. As to what's going on.
16:15
Make a great post on the Instagram. Thank you.
16:18
And then she opens the check and she's like,
16:20
what the fuck? Also, you didn't know beforehand,
16:22
you didn't discuss your contract with the salon?
16:25
Yeah, I don't know. You would sign a contract
16:27
with the salon for your chair, would you not?
16:30
You wouldn't know how much the salon has taken
16:32
out. To be fair, if I look into the details of
16:36
what gets taken out of my paycheck, even though
16:38
it's the same every time, I get angry the same
16:41
amount every time. Right. When I'm like, wow,
16:43
that's so much of my money gone. Well, she was
16:46
like, Geraldo, you took 60 % of my paycheck.
16:48
And he's like, sorry, girl. Yeah, he's basically
16:50
like, yeah, that's how it works. It's been a
16:52
while. Regina, we're going to jump ahead a minute
16:55
because Regina's solution to this, can we just
16:57
talk about this? HJer whole solution to this right
17:00
now. Her whole solution is, you know what, I'm gonna
17:02
open my own salon. This. As if it's the easiest
17:05
thing you can do. Not only that and I understand
17:09
it's kind of a plot device to give her a reason
17:11
to need the money from the court case but like
17:14
her going from in two months, from I'm so broke
17:20
I can't pay rent, I'm like months behind on my
17:22
rent to I have a solid steady job at a salon
17:26
that yeah I guess the pay is not as good as she
17:29
was hoping, but she also a couple of weeks back
17:32
said like to Daphne. When Daphne's trying to
17:34
have a serious conversation, Regina's like, these
17:36
Mission Hills ladies are good tippers. But also,
17:39
this is her first paycheck. She doesn't have
17:41
the money for a salon. Exactly. So that's what
17:43
I'm saying is like for her to be like, finally,
17:45
a place where I have a stable job, that is great.
17:48
And I'm like doing well and I don't have to pay
17:50
rent. You know what would be awesome for me to
17:52
do right now? Take out a loan, a small business
17:55
loan, open up my own business with all my spare
17:58
time that I have from not hanging out with either
18:01
of my daughters who really need my support right
18:03
now and I'm just gonna like girl boss my way
18:06
into my own business. And then she says to Adriana,
18:09
my clients are pretty loyal I think they'd follow
18:13
me. Your clients that you've had for one month?
18:17
You've cut their hair once. Yeah how often are
18:20
you going to them in the span of a month? Like
18:23
it just it doesn't make any sense it just makes
18:26
me be like is Regina dumb? And the bank is like
18:29
yes you're dumb. Yeah. Yes you're dumb. And Kathryn
18:32
says to her when she finds out like, congratulations
18:35
at least you know what you want to do like that's
18:37
half the battle. I don't, it shocks me that Kathryn
18:40
is so supportive of it because I think she would
18:42
be like girl like you have bigger fish to fry,
18:45
I don't know. With what money? With what money
18:48
with what like consistency, responsibility. The
18:51
bank even says you have a crappy credit history.
18:54
Yeah. We're not giving you a loan. And you have
18:57
no collateral. Nothing. She says my collateral
18:59
is my track record and my clients of like the
19:02
last 10 years. And the bank basically laughs
19:04
at her. It feels so unearned of her to be like,
19:06
I've worked for this. Like I could see her being
19:08
like, I'm going to go back to working out of
19:10
the Kennish house and just like work it out with
19:12
Kathryn. Yeah, you could have done that. Yeah,
19:14
you totally could have done that. And you would
19:15
get your whole income. But she wants a girl boss
19:18
arc, whatever. Pisses me off. Anyway, the storyline
19:21
is so weird. I'm going to like mostly ignore
19:24
that for the rest of the episode. And then Bay
19:27
comes back to the house and Daphne is waiting
19:30
outside to ambush her about Emmett. Daphne's
19:33
like, when were you going to tell me about Emmett?
19:34
And Bay's like, oh, I meant to last night. But
19:37
then remember how you told me you had a crush
19:39
on him now? Right. And she's obviously pissed.
19:42
Also, Bay came home hoping to tell her about
19:44
Angelo. And then they fight. And so then. Bay's
19:48
like well now I'm not going to tell you about
19:49
Angelo. She says like I'm sorry there wasn't a
19:54
good time to tell you but I should have. And she
19:57
does should have up on her forehead. And I'd never
20:00
seen it up there. It should not be up there. Okay.
20:03
So I guess I guess a problem that I have with
20:07
this phase of the show is they might have had
20:09
her sign it wrong on purpose? I think she did
20:12
that so it was in the camera frame. No, it's a
20:15
wide shot of her. It's a wide shot? It's a really
20:17
wide shot. Okay. Because I was like, oh my God,
20:20
have I been signing should wrong this whole time?
20:23
Bay's signing it wrong. And maybe they did
20:25
it on purpose to be like, she's not perfect.
20:28
She's not perfect. But then it would have been
20:30
good to have Daphne go, that's wrong. And fuck
20:34
you. Like to be like, fuck you, bitch. And you're
20:37
signing it wrong. Like it would have been a good
20:39
opportunity for her to be like, how can you and
20:41
Emmett be together if you can't even remember
20:43
the sign for should? I don't know. That would
20:45
have been great. Yeah. So that one has been bothering
20:48
me before we watched that. I watched this episode.
20:50
I was thinking of the way she had signed should
20:52
in this episode because I remember watching it
20:54
in real time and being like, that was wrong.
20:56
Okay. Yeah, you're right. Okay. And then this
20:59
is where there's a Twilight reference. Go on.
21:02
I texted Kara last night at 2 a .m. when I was
21:05
watching this episode, all caps, Twilight reference.
21:07
And I have been, if any of you listening, are
21:10
on the Switched at Birth Reddit. There is a long
21:13
thread going being like, I feel like there's
21:16
a lot of Twilight comparison. And I have been
21:18
in there a lot being like, you are so right.
21:20
Here are all the ones that I've found so far.
21:22
This is awesome. So Daphne, I think it's also
21:26
because it's 2011, right? So it's like peak Twilight
21:28
time. It was on the writers' minds. Daphne's
21:31
like, you will never know him. And Bay says,
21:34
if vampires can date humans, then I think that
21:37
deaf people can date hearing people. So true,
21:40
queen. Thank you, Bay. This is such a good callback
21:43
to us talking about the deaf -hearing divorce
21:46
rate last episode. Bay said, stop it. It's allowed.
21:49
Interabled couples are valid. That truly is
21:52
what Edward and Bella are. They're an interabled.
21:55
Interabled? Yeah. Who has the disability? Well,
21:59
Bella, because she's human. Yeah. And to Edward,
22:02
who's got super strength and super speed and
22:05
super sight and super smell and super hearing.
22:07
Right. Poor Bella. And is immortal. He's constantly
22:10
like, you're so breakable. You're so fragile.
22:12
You can't even do anything. I can't even have
22:14
sex with you. Yeah. No, he's, okay, he's literally
22:17
being so ableist. Actually, wait. Edward Cullen
22:20
canceled in 2025. Ableist behavior. But he kind
22:24
of fetishizes it. Oh, wow. There's a lot to talk
22:27
about here. Okay. Wow. Disability. We're going
22:30
to move on. Twilight through a disability lens.
22:32
New podcast. Oh, my God. I don't think I can
22:36
make it personally, but I would love to facilitate
22:38
that. Someone, if you would like to do that,
22:41
go right ahead. So yeah. And then Daphne's like,
22:43
he's my best friend. Can you find anybody else?
22:46
I think that's a fair initial reaction. Right.
22:49
Considering all the stuff that happened with
22:51
Liam, even though Bay didn't explicitly, continuously
22:54
ask Daphne to break up with Liam. She did ask
22:57
once and then kept sort of indicating it. So
23:01
I think it's fair for Daphne to be like, that's
23:03
my best friend, even though. She hasn't really
23:06
been giving a fuck about him for a couple of
23:07
episodes now. But whatever. And Bay's like, no.
23:10
It's too late. It's too late. They have heart
23:13
eyes for each other. The ship has sailed. Yeah.
23:15
And then next scene, Wilke is back. Thank God.
23:18
I know. Thank God. And I guess the boys are back
23:21
in school. Their suspension is done. Done. Toby
23:24
makes an Olivia Wilde reference. What? Yeah.
23:27
He says, which this really dated it because I
23:30
was like, oh, yeah, this is around Tron era.
23:33
And Wilke's like, you'll never guess. Like,
23:35
I have great news. And Toby's like, unless you're
23:37
about to tell me that Olivia Wilde's car has
23:39
broken down in front of my house and that she,
23:42
like, wants to go on a date with me, like, I
23:45
don't care about what you have to say. But guess
23:47
what? It's even better. We're playing at East
23:49
West Fest. East West Fest! I think that's a fun
23:52
name for a festival. It is fun. East West Fest.
23:54
Wilke's like, yeah, I used the deaf angle. The
23:57
deaf drummer angle to get us in and they loved
24:00
it. They loved it and so he's like remember our
24:03
drummer? Our deaf drummer whose name I can't remember?
24:06
Oh I knew it was a guy from Twilight. Yeah. Yeah
24:10
and he said Guitar Face we're playing including
24:12
Emmett so figure it out. Yeah we gotta get Emmett.
24:16
And then Bay is venting to Emmett about Angelo
24:19
showing up. Yeah, he's sitting on top of her car
24:22
eating a sandwich that looks really good. It
24:24
does look really good. She's pacing so much.
24:26
There's no way he's catching. He could not read
24:27
her lips. Yeah. There's no way. She's, like,
24:29
pacing away from him. But I kind of like that
24:31
he's like, I'm going to let her. Let her rant.
24:33
I'm going to let her rant. Yeah, it's fine. Like,
24:36
I get the gist. Yeah, I was. I think he was like,
24:39
okay, she met her dad and she's probably feeling
24:42
some feelings about, I'm gonna eat my sandwich.
24:43
But then she does go see Angelo. Yeah. They're
24:46
at the hotel restaurant, or a bar. Again, strange,
24:49
I don't know. Weird place to meet. I don't know,
24:52
maybe go to like a cafe. I was gonna say a cafe.
24:54
It's very much a bar. It's like not even a restaurant.
24:57
Yeah, yeah. He's like drinking a beer. It's weird.
25:01
But Bay goes to see Angelo and he says, I love
25:04
local media. I found out about the switch on,
25:08
I guess, the Kansas City Herald. And that's how
25:11
I found out about you. And I knew I had to go
25:13
see you. It's like a very mystical story. He's
25:16
like, there was a man on a train reading the
25:19
paper. And then he left the paper. And I picked
25:21
up the paper. Was he in Kansas? He was in Chicago,
25:24
right? He was in Chicago. It was in the Chicago
25:25
Tribune, I think. He was like, there was a little
25:28
blurb on it. Huh. And then... okay sure. And then
25:31
he like did more digging I guess I don't know.
25:34
He probably did a little search on search berzerk
25:36
dot com. I think he's lying. Really? Yeah that's
25:40
my theory that's too, well you were on a train
25:43
and you just happened to pick up the paper that
25:46
the guy sat down. Well how would you think he
25:48
found out? What's another way? Maybe he just googles
25:51
Regina once in a while to see what she's up to?
25:53
I don't know but I I mean there's a lot of comments
25:57
like, Regina says like oh now that you have a
25:59
rich daughter you're like coming back around
26:01
so, I do wonder if he had it in the back of his
26:07
mind a little bit? I do also think maybe he was
26:10
keeping tabs on them a little bit because he
26:12
says later on in the episode and we'll get to
26:14
it because I have a lot of feelings about it
26:16
but he says like I wanted to keep in contact
26:17
with you and you were the one that. And Regina
26:20
pushed him away. Yeah that pushed me away and
26:22
shut me out. I do wonder if. That is an interesting
26:25
story. It's possible he does see it in the paper,
26:27
whatever. He loves local media. But I bet he
26:31
just does a Google search of Regina maybe every
26:34
few months to see what she's up to, and then
26:37
boom, that article came up. Yeah. One day, and
26:41
then he was like, bam, okay. Cha -ching. Cha
26:43
-ching, yeah. Bay asks, so what ethnicities am
26:47
I? And he goes... A little Italian, some French,
26:51
some Algerian. And then she goes, like, I'm Arab?
26:54
Cool. Yeah, Bay is really stoked. She's a quarter
26:58
Puerto Rican. She would have loved 23andMe. Oh,
27:01
my God. We should have added that to her Christmas
27:04
gift list. She would have loved 23andMe. You're
27:08
right. She just wants to know down to the percentage
27:11
point, like, what she is. So then John and Emmett
27:14
are planning the car wash fundraiser. Again,
27:18
it's so funny that Emmett's the one like coordinating
27:21
that aspect and not Daphne, his daughter. No.
27:25
Emmett's like, will there be a sign? And John's
27:27
like, I don't know what he's saying. Can somebody
27:30
help me? Well, he's being very obvious, John.
27:33
You're dumb. Literally drawing a box in the air.
27:35
Giant box in the air. And mouthing sign. Yes.
27:39
Again, Emmett is a very clear signer. So clear.
27:42
It's so clear to understand him. Even if you
27:45
don't know a lick of ASL, if you met Emmett,
27:47
you would be able to have a conversation with
27:49
him. He's very easy to understand. Yeah. So anyway.
27:53
He gets Daphne to interpret. He gets Daphne to
27:55
interpret the word sign. And then John's like,
27:58
buddy, I got a banner coming tomorrow. Hell yeah.
28:02
Hell yeah. But Daphne also doesn't want to be
28:05
involved because she's mad at Emmett. Yeah. So
28:07
then you realize, yeah, she's like. Ma ma Ma and
28:09
John's like, Emmett, can you fill her in on the
28:11
instructions? I do love sassy Daphne that Emmett's
28:15
like, so the cars, they're going to roll down.
28:17
She's like, wash car, dry car. I get it. Yeah.
28:18
She's like, whatever. Okay. This is my favorite
28:21
part of the episode. Okay. So she tries to walk
28:26
away from him and Emmett's like, no, girl, we're
28:28
going to have it out. Pulls her into the car
28:31
wash. They're in front of the car wash. They're
28:33
like in front of it. But I just mean like they're
28:34
like, it's a dramatic background. Yes. And. He's
28:38
like, okay, what's going on? Let's have it out.
28:41
Let's hash shit out right now. And she's like,
28:43
I can't. And then she's like, I started to think
28:47
that maybe you and I, and he's like, stop. I
28:51
don't want to hear it. Enough. And then they
28:53
do this really great split screen. Well, it's
28:56
not split screen, but it's like they both, they
28:58
caption both of them at the same time simultaneously
29:00
on the screen together as they're both, because
29:04
they're both signing at each other so fast. Yelling
29:08
at each other basically. But it's just like very
29:10
satisfying to watch. I love when they do that.
29:13
And he's like don't do this to me I waited for
29:17
you for eight years. Which is crazy for him to
29:20
say out loud. Well that's their whole friendship
29:21
so I'm kind of like. Since they were eight years
29:23
old? Yeah I'm like I'm gonna I mean you maybe
29:26
loved her when you were eight years old but like
29:28
you guys weren't gonna date when you were eight
29:29
years. Right. You could be like for the past year
29:32
and a half I've been trying to hook up and you
29:34
haven't wanted to whatever yeah but he's like
29:36
I waited eight years for you, fuck you basically.
29:39
And she's like okay well now you're with my sister
29:44
like that's fucked up and then. They kiss in front
29:47
of the car wash. First of all this gagged me when
29:49
I watched it yes I remember I was at my friend's
29:53
house and we were like all watching and we were
29:55
screaming. They kiss. I always felt when I watched
29:58
it like it was Daphne pulling him in to kiss
30:01
him but watching it last night it's totally Emmett.
30:05
It's Emmett? It's totally Emmett. I mean it's both
30:08
of them. It's both of them but it's more maybe
30:10
more Emmett than it is Daphne. Wow. By like a lot.
30:13
I always thought it was like Daphne is like no
30:17
come on let's kiss like let me prove it to you
30:19
because then he stops her and he's like I'm with
30:21
Bay. But it's totally him being like, all right,
30:23
let's just see if it works real quick. Yeah,
30:25
why not? And I think this is fine because no
30:29
one tells Bay in this episode. I don't remember
30:31
if she ever finds out. I don't think she ever
30:33
finds out. But in this episode, no one tells
30:35
her. Yes. I guess I wanted your thoughts on it.
30:37
I think personally that if you have had a slow
30:42
burn crush on someone. that you have known for
30:46
eight plus years who is a huge aspect of your
30:48
life and we have been dating for like two weeks
30:50
and it's a point of contention in your friendship
30:53
and you guys have a moment of like, should we
30:56
just see real quick if this like, you guys have
30:59
an in the moment passionate kiss that's like
31:02
a build -up of eight years of tension and friendship
31:05
that I haven't been present for at all. Like I
31:08
think that's fine. I think I'd rather that happen
31:10
now. Than like six months down the line, like
31:14
they've been dating for two seconds. They're
31:16
not even like boyfriend, girlfriend. But what
31:19
do you think? I feel like by your face, you do
31:21
not agree. I'm afraid A is going to listen to
31:24
this and be like, Kara promotes cheating. I think
31:27
what makes me mad is when people are like, blanket,
31:29
that's cheating. And I'm like, every cheating
31:32
scenario involves so much context. Yes. That
31:36
really only the people involved in the scenario
31:38
can fully understand. Not to, like, defend cheaters,
31:42
but, like, cheating is a personal crime. It's
31:45
not, like, a public crime. No, it's not. It's
31:48
not a federal crime. I agree. I think I'm having
31:50
trouble with this because I know what Emmett
31:53
does eventually. Yes. I'm not, oh my god, no.
31:56
That's so different from, I'm just talking about
31:59
this specific. This specific moment. And I'm
32:01
not even talking about him. I'm trying to think
32:03
of, like, if I were Bay, would I want to know?
32:05
I guess that's my question for you. Is, like,
32:08
would you want to know? No. Ignorance is
32:11
bliss. Yeah. No, I don't think so. It's so different
32:15
because they're 16 years old as compared to like
32:17
if they were forty years old. Yeah. Wait, in which
32:20
direction? As in like, I think it's more permissible
32:23
at that age because they're young and they're
32:25
stupid and they're still testing things out and
32:27
they still don't know what they want. Yeah, I
32:29
don't know. I think I get why they did it. Might
32:33
as well kiss and see what happens. And if it
32:35
works out, then... Right, if they kissed and
32:38
there was like an amazing spark. Then he'd have
32:40
to be like, okay, fuck, like, let me go end things
32:43
with Bay. Yeah. This makes sense. But he was
32:47
like, no, I'm with Bay. And then that was it.
32:50
Great. Then that's fine with me. I feel like
32:52
now that they've kissed, the tension's gone.
32:54
The tension's gone and he realizes, wait, nah.
32:57
Yeah, now there's not like a fantasy what if
32:59
in his head. Yeah. But also, but then he does
33:02
end up getting grumpy and lashing out. That's
33:05
true. He does. Is it because he regrets his decision
33:08
or is it because he knows he did something wrong
33:10
and then he's taking it out on Bay? So I think
33:13
it's because he realized that this is it. He's
33:17
made the commitment. He's chosen Bay. Okay. And
33:20
because he's realized that, I'm not saying he's
33:23
got like buyer's remorse, but I think he's just
33:26
like, I have committed to the hearing girl. I
33:28
just rejected my deaf best friend that I've been
33:31
pining after for eight years. I just admitted
33:33
to her that I've been pining after her for eight
33:35
years and now I'm seeing my hearing girlfriend
33:40
or person that I'm dating I don't think she counts
33:43
as his girlfriend yet I don't know um. Who is
33:46
in that moment Bay's kind of being inconsiderate
33:48
too. Like at the car wash. The next day at the
33:52
car wash, Toby and Wilke show up. Yes. Looking
33:55
to convince Emmett like look see we're nice we'll
33:58
like help with your fundraiser and then you'll
34:00
come do our concert. Yeah basically. Very transactional
34:03
about it. And so they're goofing off. They're
34:05
actually not helping. And Toby bets Wilke 20
34:09
bucks that he will run all the way through the
34:11
car wash. So Wilke does it. Side note. You'd
34:14
be beat up if you ran through the car wash. Oh,
34:17
I was just going to say that. Yeah, he's Austin.
34:19
Wilke, Austin Butler in a soaking wet t -shirt.
34:21
Very hot. I know he was like probably in his
34:24
20s when he did this role. But like, no man
34:27
looks like that. Like I was like that is fucking
34:29
crazy. He looks like an Avenger. It's insane I
34:34
know it was jarring. It was like pornographic.
34:36
Um he runs through the car wash and he doesn't
34:40
get beat up. No. Those brushes are tough he doesn't
34:43
get burned by the hot wax. Well that's what he
34:45
says is he bails out at the hot wax because. He
34:47
doesn't get cuts and bruises? No so they're like
34:49
you didn't make it all the way through they're
34:51
arguing over whether or not he deserves the 20 dollars
34:53
and they're all laughing and talking over each
34:57
other. And Emmett's doing his own thing. He's
34:59
not involved. He's like walking by them. And
35:02
Bay pulls him into the conversation and then
35:04
signs Toby and then is like, oh, what's the word
35:09
for or what's the sign for bet? Which I didn't
35:11
know. I didn't know the sign for bet either.
35:13
They don't they also don't tell us what it is.
35:15
Bet. Yeah. Oh, like a poker. So it's a bet. Bs
35:19
on both hands and then you flip them over like
35:22
pancakes. Cute. Try and describe this. I guess this
35:25
is an audio format. She doesn't remember the sign
35:27
so she's finger spells BET. Also I hate her B.
35:30
Her B is like so she goes bet but like it's, can
35:34
you describe to the audience? Sorry, it's like
35:35
thumb in, all four fingers like sprawled as wide
35:40
as they can go. And not together like it should
35:43
be. Yeah so like the B is wrong. As she's talking,
35:45
she said, Toby bet Wilke $20 that he wouldn't
35:48
run through the car wash. But she only signs
35:50
fucking Toby, B -E -T, car. Yeah. And then. Emmett's
35:54
not getting any of the story. Emmett's not getting
35:55
any of it. Wilke's like, no, no, no, I got it.
35:57
Starts yelling at him, talking over Bay. And
36:01
Emmett's like, absolutely not. And just like
36:03
walks away. Not the time. Yeah. And Bay comes
36:06
after him and is like, what the heck? And he's
36:09
like, she's like, why are you mad? And he's like,
36:11
you didn't remember the sign for bet. Okay. I
36:14
wasn't super happy with him. I wasn't happy with
36:16
anyone at this moment because one, Bay wasn't
36:18
being considerate. Yeah. But also, it's been
36:21
two weeks. And she says that that's not really
36:24
why he's mad. It's not why he's mad, but he is
36:27
taking it out on her. And she says, I've been
36:29
learning to sign for two weeks. I never learned
36:31
to sign for bet. Did you? I only learned it from
36:34
signing with other people. You just had to teach
36:36
it to me just now. Yeah. But I think he's...
36:39
more so mad about like this is where I gave up
36:43
and being pulled into an interaction that she
36:46
pulls him in and then she's not ready to like
36:49
to make him comfortable in there? Yeah. So it's
36:51
like then don't pull me into that. If you're not
36:53
gonna make the conversation accessible to me
36:55
then don't involve me. But then he goes on to
36:58
further say like you're just gonna drop ASL like
37:01
you drop everything else. Yeah. And I don't want
37:03
to pretend to understand hearing people. I don't
37:06
want you to be my interpreter. Yeah. Yeah he unleashes
37:09
a lot of like fears on her that he has about
37:12
this relationship all at once yeah and Bay catches
37:14
on like oh, you have talked to Daphne. I wanted
37:17
to ask you if you thought that she was catching
37:20
everything he was saying too because he's signing
37:22
like slow but not as slow as usual like still
37:26
pretty fast and he's like saying a lot and I
37:29
feel like she's like staring at him and then
37:31
she's like you talked to Daphne didn't you. And
37:34
that's her only takeaway. Which, if I was Emmett,
37:36
that would piss me off. Even though she's right.
37:38
Yeah. Like, even though she's right, the fact
37:40
that she ignores, like, he's just shared a lot
37:42
of really real fears with her. Mm -hmm. Oh, and
37:45
she doesn't, like... And she just makes it about
37:47
Daphne. Yeah. Instead of being, like... It is
37:49
about Daphne. But it is and it isn't. Like, Daphne
37:52
is involved, but then there is also, like, Bay
37:55
earlier says to Toby, because Toby's like...
37:58
why are you here and Bay's like me and Emmett
38:01
are kind of, she makes these weird eyes at Toby
38:04
to like imply that they're dating but I'm like
38:07
why would you make those eyes at your brother,
38:09
I hate that, but. And he's like oh how do you guys
38:12
communicate? She's like I'm learning to sign and
38:16
he's like I thought he doesn't hang out with
38:17
hearing people? What does that make you? And she
38:20
says special. I'm different I'm not like other
38:23
girls. Yeah I hate it and it makes me think like
38:26
it kind of adds a little bit of weight to what
38:29
Emmett is saying. Yes. Like she's not taking it seriously
38:32
enough maybe? Like she deserves an award for being
38:36
this hearing girl who's learning. I think it's just
38:38
that like she truly doesn't understand the weight
38:41
of the relationship that there may be. No and
38:43
also she wasn't planning on learning really yeah
38:46
or as learning as much because she did ask Emmett
38:50
two episodes ago, do you speak? Do you ever speak?
38:54
Yes. And then he had to be the one to say, no,
38:57
girl. Yeah, you're going to learn to sign. I
38:59
don't know. I just, like, I don't know. It's
39:02
frustrating on all ends. Yeah. I understand his
39:05
feelings. It's sort of in everybody's the asshole,
39:06
but I, like, feel more empathy towards Emmett
39:09
in this situation. I think I do, too. As the
39:12
deaf person in this situation, I think I do,
39:14
too. Because it's, I've been in several situations
39:17
where I've been with hearing people and they're
39:20
all cracking up and I don't know what's going
39:22
on. And I'm like, ugh. Why am I here? Fuck this.
39:26
Yeah. So, like, I get it. I get his frustrations
39:29
and his fears. And that's something I've also
39:31
worried about with my partner. Like, I don't
39:34
want her to have to be the interpreter all the
39:36
time. I want to be able to figure things out
39:39
for myself. I don't want to, yeah, always have
39:42
to rely on other people. Yeah, so I think. Emmett's
39:46
valid. I don't think he should have crashed
39:47
out on her like that. No, but it makes sense.
39:50
Yeah. It makes more sense to me than what Bay
39:54
is doing in the scene. Where are we? Because we
39:57
kind of jumped ahead. I know we did. Okay so before the
40:01
car wash, Bay invites Angelo. Sorry guys. Yeah. Before
40:05
all of that happens but before the car wash fundraiser
40:10
at least. Before Bay even goes to the car wash
40:12
fundraiser, she invites Angelo to the Kennish
40:16
house. And just introduces him to John and Kathryn.
40:19
No warning. Yeah, I think they literally come
40:22
from the hotel bar. I think so. And she goes,
40:25
this is my bio dad. And I think John and Kathryn
40:28
have a valid reaction, which is, what are you
40:31
doing here? Like, why are you here? Yeah, they
40:34
get really mad really fast. I don't know. I think
40:38
he could have gone about it better. But I think
40:40
no matter how he went about it, they would have
40:42
crashed out like this. I don't think the best
40:45
reaction would have been to be, furious like
40:47
they are because yeah John especially is furious.
40:50
John is fuming. Yeah and that's when you realize
40:53
that like he's gotten to be the only dad so far
40:56
in this. That's true. And he does not like that
40:59
there's another one in the picture. Yeah he probably
41:02
should have reached out to Regina first. Yeah.
41:04
But I think he didn't because I think, I genuinely
41:07
I think Regina would have ignored him and not
41:11
told anybody that he even tried. Yeah. Like just
41:13
knowing her. But yeah, John and Kathryn are
41:16
furious. Like, what the hell are you doing here?
41:17
And Angelo goes, I don't need your permission.
41:20
You do, actually. You have no legal rights over
41:22
Bay or Daphne. So I was going to ask, does he?
41:25
No, he doesn't. Are we sure, though? So he's
41:29
not biologically related to Daphne. Right. He
41:31
doesn't have rights over Daphne. But like, does
41:33
he have rights over Bay? I guess it gets confusing
41:35
because he's not the man listed on the birth
41:37
certificate. He's not on Bay's birth certificate.
41:41
He is. That's what's wrong. He's on Daphne. You're
41:44
right. He's on Daphne's. He's on Daphne's. But
41:47
also he left. And I think because of that, Regina
41:50
has sole custody. And also no court would ever
41:54
allow him. No, that's definitely true that he
41:57
couldn't. What? Is he going to go to court and
41:59
be like, I've been away for 14 years? Yeah. I
42:03
want to have custody of Daphne and also Bay,
42:06
who I have also not talked to. No, definitely
42:09
not. But he has no legal rights at this moment.
42:12
He could fight for legal rights, but he's not
42:14
going to win. But at this point, he does not
42:16
have any legal rights. Yeah. Yeah. And then Daphne
42:19
walks in. Daphne walks in and she doesn't know
42:22
what's going on. All she sees is John and Kathryn
42:24
and Bay and some strange man. Yeah. Who she does
42:27
not know, all fighting. And she's like, whoa,
42:30
what's going on? Yeah. She's like, who is this?
42:32
Who is that? Who is that? Who is that? No one's
42:35
listening to her. And then Bay just signs from
42:37
the corner, our father. Yeah. And Daphne, yeah.
42:41
I kind of love that she like walks out and then
42:44
she walks right back in. I'm leaving. No, I'm
42:47
not. She's like, hold on. And then Angelo's like,
42:50
okay. He gives a pretty good speech until the
42:52
end. For a minute, he's like, I'm sorry. I know
42:56
that you don't like, there was a lot of reasons
42:58
why I left, but none of them matter to you. All
43:00
that you know is that your father left you and
43:02
I'm so sorry. And I'm like here to make it up
43:04
to you. And then he stops and then he fucks it
43:06
all up. Fucks it all up. Because Daphne is processing.
43:10
I can see it. I'm sure you could see it on her
43:12
face. She's like, okay, this man has just showed
43:15
up and said like a pretty good prepared speech.
43:18
Yeah. I think she was expecting him to be speechless
43:21
or say something stupid. And instead of letting
43:23
her process, he goes. you don't understand anything
43:26
I'm saying, do you? So do you think she actually
43:28
did understand what he's saying? Yeah. Okay.
43:31
Did you not? Well, part of me was like, he's
43:34
a brand new man and he has a French accent. That's
43:36
true. He's probably hard to lip read, actually. But
43:39
then he says, you don't understand anything I'm
43:41
saying, do you? And she looks him up and down
43:43
and she goes, no, I don't. And she walks out.
43:46
And I think that she means it in like a spiritual
43:49
sense, not in a, like in a heart sense, not in
43:51
a, yeah. I took it literally. Okay. I took it
43:54
as, she literally doesn't understand anything
43:56
he's saying. I do feel that the show would not
43:59
have Daphne's super powered lip reading fail
44:02
her in this dramatic moment. I was going to say,
44:05
she's so good at lip reading every other situation,
44:08
in the dark, when people are moving their heads.
44:10
Yeah, no, I think the point there was to highlight
44:12
that Angelo doesn't know anything about her.
44:16
So that's why he's like, oh, wait, you don't
44:18
understand me. Right. And so that hurts her.
44:22
Like after the speech that she's processing,
44:24
He then immediately lets out this big reminder
44:27
that he hasn't been there. He doesn't know her.
44:30
And also Daphne associates him with leaving because
44:33
she was deaf. So for him to then immediately
44:35
bring it up, she's like, actually, I don't understand
44:38
what the fuck you're saying. Like, fuck you.
44:40
And leaves. Because she's like, how am I supposed
44:42
to square what you just said to me with everything
44:44
I know about you? Best thing Daphne did this
44:47
whole episode. Yeah. And then... Oh, this was
44:51
the moment that I just wanted to note that Toby
44:53
and Wilke show up at Carlton and Emmett's like,
44:56
are you guys lost? And they're like, no, we're
44:57
here for you, buddy. And they're dressed like
44:59
the idiot twins. And Toby's got a fucking pointy
45:03
shouldered vest on. It's like a little baby Bay
45:06
Area tech bro vest. It's so strange. And Emmett's
45:10
like, I'm absolutely not playing your festival.
45:12
And that's why they show up at the car wash the
45:14
next day. Yes. And then Regina shows up at the
45:18
house and the Kennishes are like, Angelo was here.
45:20
And she's like, what the fuck? And then the Kennishes
45:23
are judgy about it. They're like, did you know
45:26
about this? And she's like, no. They're like,
45:27
did you know? And she's like, no. But then Kathryn
45:29
goes, where did you meet this guy? Kathryn,
45:32
fuck you. Like, he's a criminal. Okay. I mean,
45:35
he is. But they don't know that. We don't know
45:37
that yet. And Regina's like, we met in Chicago.
45:41
We met like a bar, whatever. Yeah. At a normal
45:44
place people meet. But yeah, some weird racial
45:46
stuff. Yeah. But then Regina says, he's not violent.
45:50
The only person he poses a real threat to is
45:53
me. She means like her sobriety. That's what
45:56
I thought. I was like, is there anything more
45:58
to that? No. Daphne is being emo about just meeting
46:02
her, not her bio dad, but Angelo, the dad who
46:05
left her. And she's sadly watching Food Network
46:07
with the closed captions on, which I really liked
46:10
that detail. That's so cute. I didn't even notice.
46:13
Yeah, I was like, obviously she would be watching
46:15
that. I get it. Yeah. Perfect. And Regina checks
46:18
in on her. First thing she's done. First mom
46:21
thing she's done. She's got some mom instincts
46:23
left, even though she's busy with the salon.
46:25
I know. And Daphne cries and she says, I don't
46:28
want to see him again. She's also like, did you
46:30
know? Yeah. And Regina's like, no. Hey, liar
46:33
mom, did you know? And Daphne's like, I just
46:35
don't know what else you would keep from me.
46:36
And Regina, thankfully. Instead of getting on
46:39
her high horse is like, I guess I deserve that.
46:41
Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. Yeah. But she
46:44
says, I don't want to see Angelo again. I'm not
46:46
ready. Bay can see him somewhere else. And then
46:48
Regina says, I can't control where Bay sees him.
46:51
I think you can. Not that she's like the sole
46:54
parent of Bay, but I think she could say, hey,
46:57
for the benefit of the other daughter that lives
46:59
here, would you guys mind having your daddy daughter
47:02
days somewhere that's not this home? I think
47:05
you can absolutely do that. I think that's a
47:07
fair accommodation to ask for. I think that is
47:09
extremely fair to ask of Bay. You're the adult.
47:12
But Regina's like, I can't control that. That's
47:15
not my problem. She said, I can't control what
47:17
Bay's going to do, but I'll make sure that he
47:19
doesn't hurt you again. Girl, what is in your
47:22
control? So then, yeah, Kathryn comes to check
47:25
on Bay and she's like, it's not that we don't
47:28
want you to see him. We just want it to be respectful
47:30
to us. I just like, I feel like they're gaslighting
47:33
Bay. In what way? Kathryn being like, we're
47:37
not mad and we're not going to keep you from
47:38
seeing him. As we just yelled at you and said
47:41
you can't see him. And then John's downstairs
47:44
trying to figure out a plan to keep her from
47:46
seeing him. I don't know, is it he wants to keep
47:50
her from seeing him or does he want to have rules
47:52
and boundaries in place for this man they do
47:55
not know. I think no one's being sympathetic
47:58
towards Bay that that's her dad. Her fucking...
48:00
bio mom is a dud. Regina is not checking in on
48:04
Bay, Regina is not building a relationship with
48:06
Bay. She's been searching for this dad since she
48:09
found out about the switch. Yeah which no one
48:12
has been helping her with. She's been working
48:14
really hard towards this and then also credit
48:16
to her that she decided to tell her parents at
48:18
all. Yeah. Bay could have kept it a secret obviously
48:21
would have come out eventually but like Bay could
48:23
have kept it a secret and continued to see him
48:25
and build her relationship on her own terms. I
48:28
just think like at 16 she is old enough that
48:30
you can't be like, you will have one scheduled
48:32
phone call a week with him with supervision. It's
48:35
hard to stop. That's fucked up. Okay fair. It should've
48:38
just all been a discussion. Yeah. Which of course
48:42
is not realistic, this is a soap opera tv show.
48:44
People don't talk to each other. No. And then yeah
48:47
so then we're and then we're at the car wash.
48:50
Then with the car wash and then that whole thing
48:52
happens. And then. Angelo the Ambusher is what
48:55
I call him. Yeah. Ambushelo. Ambushelo. He goes
48:59
and he gets Regina at work. Outside the salon.
49:02
And he looks good standing up. And Regina says,
49:06
nice try. I know you're here because you just
49:09
found out you have a rich daughter. You want
49:11
the money from the hospital case. Got his ass.
49:14
Yeah. And then Regina and Angelo are fighting
49:17
in a random park because he's like. Yes. Hear me
49:20
out, I'm not just here for the money and that's
49:23
when it's revealed, there's like a lot they well
49:25
he says stands out to me here. I left you get
49:28
over it. That's kind of not what he says though
49:31
he actually he's just explaining why he left
49:34
a little bit. Right. Regina's like you left and
49:36
he's like yes and then he says I wanted to stay
49:40
in touch. But you kept pushing me away. He even
49:43
says, like, you wouldn't let me. And she says,
49:46
well, by the time you reached out, she was older
49:49
and she didn't remember you. And she didn't remember
49:51
you. And, like, it would have just been too painful.
49:55
So that's a huge plot point. I don't know if
49:58
that's going to come up later. But, like, that
50:00
is so fucked up. Going back to... Remember when
50:04
we were like, Regina, Daphne comes and she's
50:06
like, did dad leave because I was deaf or because
50:09
I went deaf? And then she says. He left because
50:12
he was too chicken to like have a family, to
50:15
like be in a family. Yes. But the conversation
50:19
makes Daphne feel like, yes. Yes. That he did
50:23
leave because she went deaf. And I remember at
50:26
the time being like, I know Regina can't say
50:28
the true reason he left was because of the DNA
50:30
test at that moment because it hadn't come out
50:32
yet. But beyond that, it is so shitty that she's
50:36
let Daphne feel like he totally dropped out of
50:39
their lives after that point when he was making
50:42
efforts to try to come back. Maybe not consistent
50:45
efforts. I mean, we've seen Angelo. He probably
50:47
was sending a text every once in a while or whatever.
50:50
But it's better than your dad completely left.
50:54
Vanished into thin air. Yeah yeah right after you
50:57
went deaf and somehow you're not supposed to
50:59
connect those two. Yeah obviously she would but
51:03
yeah as I'm re -watching the show there's more
51:06
and more reasons for me not like Regina on this
51:08
rewatch. I know I feel bad at how much I like
51:11
really hate her this season, but it's not good.
51:15
I also, like to credit him he really thought that
51:18
Regina had had an affair and he still wanted
51:21
to keep in touch with that tiny toddler that
51:24
was not his child. He did raise the child for
51:27
three years. He left because and he said you pushed
51:30
me away. You said if I didn't trust you I should
51:32
just leave so I left. No. I hate Regina for making
51:36
me side with a man but like in this one instance
51:39
I feel that Angelo has some good points. Yeah.
51:42
Angelo is at his hotel now and he's paying for
51:45
something. And this moment I've deemed him
51:49
Scamgelo. That's good. Because because he's like my
51:52
ID says Angelo, but my credit card says Adam.
51:55
Don't worry about it. I explained this to the
51:56
manager. Is she here? Like, what are you doing,
52:00
scammer? But you know what? I bet the concierge
52:02
has heart eyes. Yeah, of course. Yeah, again, it
52:05
would work on me. Yeah, Adam, whatever. And John
52:07
shows up. I don't think he hears that whole Adam
52:10
thing. But he's like there to... What is he there
52:12
to do? I feel like he's there to spook him, to
52:14
scare him away. Kind of. This is what I mean
52:16
about like... John is genuinely like, I don't
52:19
want you seeing my daughter. He said, I'm daddy.
52:21
He's literally, yeah. But Angelo kind of out
52:25
daddies him. He's like, actually, I know about
52:28
your lawsuit and I have insider knowledge that
52:30
would be helpful. Yeah. And that insider knowledge
52:32
is the nurse assigned to the girls worked 48
52:36
hours straight, which is 36 hours past union
52:39
rules. Dun dun. So you need me. So you need me
52:43
because I have this nurse. Yeah. And so then
52:46
the Kennishes immediately go to their lawyer who,
52:48
does their lawyer suck? Yeah, basically they're
52:51
like, so why didn't you find out about this?
52:53
And she says like. So she's like, so they did
52:57
depose the nurse and she never said anything
52:59
like this. So I'm concerned that Angelo is coercing
53:04
this nurse to say that and promising her money
53:07
from the deposition. Yeah. And she says like,
53:10
that's a big deal. You, if you guys legally entangle
53:13
yourself with him, you could go to jail. She
53:16
susses me out though something about her I do
53:18
not trust. I cannot remember if there's information
53:21
that I'm forgetting later on. There is. Okay so
53:24
yeah like she because she's like such a lame
53:26
lawyer like her just being like that's the best
53:28
deal you're gonna get. Do you want to know what
53:30
happened? Do you want me to tell you? No let me
53:32
let me react in real time. And then next scene
53:35
Regina is at the bank and the bank is like ha
53:37
ha get out. Yeah. Now we're at Carlton. Oh yeah Toby shows
53:41
up. And he said, you made my sister sad. Yeah.
53:44
And it's like, I'm not playing your festival.
53:46
And he's like, I'm not here about that. I'm here
53:47
about my sister. But he signs sister incorrectly.
53:51
He signs. So sister is. A single gun finger.
53:56
A single gun. Like both of your hands are in
53:58
an L shape. Yeah. And then your right hand is
54:01
going from your chin to the other L. This is
54:05
hard to explain on an audio. No, I think you're
54:08
doing a good job. But it goes from your chin
54:10
to the other L. And that's sister. But the way
54:12
Toby is doing it is he's doing finger guns. So
54:16
it's like your pointer finger and your middle
54:18
finger and your thumb are out on both hands.
54:20
And he's doing it like this. Yeah. And this is
54:22
like the first time we've seen Toby sign. Yes.
54:26
So that's huge. Huge. So far this season, every
54:30
time someone brings up learning sign, he's like,
54:32
oh, yeah. And then just moves on. Like, he's
54:34
not like, oh, I should do a little bit of that.
54:36
This is the first time. First time. And Emmett's
54:39
like, so first of all, fuck you. That sign is
54:41
wrong. Yeah. He does what Daphne should have
54:43
done earlier. Yeah. He grabs his hand and he goes, this
54:46
is a gun. And this is sister. And this is sister.
54:49
It's kind of, it's kind of hot. And also like
54:52
the start of maybe him and Toby kind of becoming
54:54
friends. Yeah. Oh, finally, Toby's learning.
54:58
Like, come on. Yeah, so then Emmett shows up
55:00
at Buckner. So much of people showing up to each
55:03
other's schools just in this episode. How are
55:05
you getting on the school property? But Emmett
55:08
comes up to Bay and he goes, I haven't been around.
55:10
He basically apologizes for his behavior. Yeah,
55:13
he gives a very romantic speech. And he goes,
55:15
I haven't been around a lot of hearing people. But
55:17
with you, it's different. I don't want you to
55:20
be deaf. And then he speaks. And then he speaks.
55:23
And then he says, I just want you. And I wish
55:26
he didn't do that. Really? I don't think he needs
55:29
to voice to profess his dedication to her. You
55:32
don't think it was like, I kind of agree with
55:34
you, but I think, first of all, it's the only
55:36
time it happens in the show. Yes. But I think
55:39
it's kind of him as the character trying to be
55:43
like, I understand that you're working so hard
55:45
to be a part of my world, to acknowledge that
55:48
I will this one time, like vocally tell you how
55:51
much I care for you in your language. I think
55:54
it still would have been just as meaningful if
55:57
he signed. I want you. Maybe he was worried she
56:00
wouldn't understand. Okay, I want you. No, I'm
56:02
joking. I'm joking. No, I understand. I guess
56:05
as a hearing person, I didn't see a problem with
56:07
it. I think I was just like, is that? I think
56:10
it tracks for his character that he would voice
56:12
because he loves to change for a girl. As we're
56:15
seeing. Yeah that's true. Like I'm gonna take speech
56:17
therapy, I'm gonna change for this girl. Yes. But
56:20
I think in terms of representation and showing
56:23
stuff like that on tv I was like oh man. You're
56:25
right, it is kind of a bummer. Yeah. But that's
56:28
the emotional peak. That's the emotional peak,
56:31
that's how you show love to someone is yeah it
56:35
was not my favorite. They also don't kiss after
56:37
which I found odd like they hug. She just said
56:39
thanks and then he leaves. I think it might be
56:43
partially that it's like held back by the fact
56:45
that it's like too soon in their relationship
56:47
for him to say I love you. That would be crazy.
56:49
And so but I right no it is but I think like
56:52
a speech like this kind of builds would build
56:55
to like it would go to a confession of love. It
56:59
would. And so maybe that's why it also kind of
57:01
like falls weirdly flat. Yeah I guess that makes
57:04
sense. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway but I understand your
57:07
feelings about it. Next scene, we're back at the
57:10
Kennish house and Toby and Wilke are packing
57:12
up the car for the festival. They're going to
57:14
go East West Fest with Emmett. East West Fest
57:16
with Emmett. And East West Fest, I think, is
57:18
the next episode, which I'm very excited about.
57:21
They're packing up. Emmett, like, kisses Bay
57:24
goodbye. In front of Daphne. Visibly upset about
57:27
this. Yeah. And then Toby sees that and, like,
57:31
is like. Tries to ease the situation a little
57:34
bit. And then Wilke's trying to flirt with Daphne.
57:38
Daphne doesn't really care. Yeah. And then the
57:40
boys all drive off. But Bay does her little art
57:45
stuff. And she makes stickers. And she makes
57:47
a drum cover for the show. I honestly thought
57:50
the drum cover was ugly. So I wasn't going to
57:51
say anything about it. It's the thought that counts.
57:54
And she also gave them her car. That's true.
57:56
She gives them her car. Because it's strong enough
57:58
to carry their U -Haul or whatever they had.
58:01
Yeah. Yeah, and then they drive off and Bay's
58:04
like, hey, Daphne, are you okay? And she goes,
58:08
no. Daphne's like, actually, no, I'm not. You
58:10
made me break up with Liam. Liam, who she hasn't
58:12
mentioned in so long. Who you do not care about.
58:15
She could have gotten back with him. You could
58:17
have. So many times. She goes, I'm not giving
58:21
up. Emmett is mine. And I am not okay with the
58:25
Angelo situation either. So take that. Yeah.
58:27
But I think, yeah, Daphne is... selfish is
58:31
the wrong word, but she's not thinking about
58:33
Bay's feelings here in that. I was kind of like,
58:36
girl, Bay doesn't have like any present parents
58:38
right now. Regina's not there. Yeah. And Daphne
58:41
kind of hit the jackpot with John. Like John
58:43
is a present father. He's very involved. Yeah.
58:45
He's like the school basketball coach. And Bay
58:48
finally gets some guy who wants to be involved
58:52
in her life. Yeah. But yeah, of course. I understand
58:55
why Daphne feels the way she feels completely.
58:59
But yeah. I don't know. It is a bummer. I do
59:02
think it's just, like, the Emmett fallout has
59:04
made Daphne be, like, anti anything Bay wants.
59:07
Yeah. I agree. And that's sad. Sad to see the
59:11
girls fighting. Yeah. They're always fighting.
59:13
But, like, I wish that they could just, like,
59:15
be friends. I know. And then back inside, Regina
59:18
comes to ask Kathryn about Angelo. And Kathryn's
59:22
like, don't worry, because he's going back to
59:23
Chicago tonight. And Regina's like, oh, great.
59:25
And then she walks outside. And Angelo is there
59:28
waiting for her in the shadows. Ambushelo.
59:31
Ambushelo appears from the shadows and he's like.
59:34
Why would you think it's a good idea to show
59:36
up on the property when he did like the day prior
59:39
and John and Kathryn had a hissy fit? Like why
59:42
would he think that's ever a good idea? I don't
59:43
know and she's very chill about the fact that
59:46
he's there. She doesn't freak out about it at
59:48
all. No she's oh hey and you know what Regina
59:50
I get it girl he's so cute. And he said I'm gonna
59:54
get you money from the hospital. Yeah, he's like,
59:57
I called you. Where were you? And she was like,
59:59
I was at the bank trying to get a loan to open
1:00:01
up a salon. And he was like, amazing. Like, they're
1:00:04
just chit -chatting. Like, the last 14 years
1:00:06
of separation haven't happened. And she's like,
1:00:09
well, it's not going to work out. I didn't get
1:00:10
the loan. And he's like, I'm about to win a bunch
1:00:12
of money in this lawsuit. And half of whatever
1:00:15
is mine is yours. And then Angelo's like, oh,
1:00:18
by the way, I'm not going back to Chicago. I
1:00:20
will be buying or renting a place. I'm staying
1:00:23
in Kansas City. So you'll be seeing more of me.
1:00:26
And that's the end of the episode. That is the
1:00:28
end of the episode. They really crammed so much
1:00:31
into this. We've talked about this episode for
1:00:34
an hour and a half at this point. This episode
1:00:36
that's about 45 minutes long. I love that. Yeah,
1:00:39
they just don't make TV like they used to. They
1:00:41
really don't. We accomplished so much. And I
1:00:44
was right. They don't tell Bay in this episode
1:00:46
that they kissed. Do we ever find that out? I
1:00:49
don't think Bay ever finds out. Crazy. She finds
1:00:52
out about other things, but not that, to my knowledge.
1:00:55
I hate the other things. I hope we... I know.
1:00:59
I just want to skip over that. It's awful. Well,
1:01:02
we have to. It's the nature of doing the show.
1:01:04
Yeah. Much to come. Yeah. Okay, guys. Thanks
1:01:09

1:01:11
episode. Yeah, tune in next week. Watch The Family
