Transcript
- 0:00Kara: Hi
- 0:00Dani: Tell me about the footage.
- 0:01Hello.
- 0:02Kara: Hello.
- 0:03I only have a few on my phone.
- 0:04There's a lot.
- 0:05I think there's seven DVDs, but-
- 0:07Dani: Well, sure, you're the first baby.
- 0:09Kara: I am the first baby.
- 0:10Dani: Firstborn privilege.
- 0:11Kara: Yes.
- 0:12It's really interesting 'cause my… The first DVD I looked at, it starts
- 0:17on my first birthday, and then it goes until I'm about to turn two.
- 0:21Dani: Mm-hmm.
- 0:22Kara: And my babbles are really interesting because, and I Googled this,
- 0:25I didn't know about this beforehand, but my babbles don't have any inflection in
- 0:29them or any turn-taking, and I'm also not responding to my parents at all.
- 0:34I was not yet diagnosed.
- 0:36Dani: This was when you were two.
- 0:37How old are you at this point?
- 0:38Kara: I am a year and three months in this video.[
- 0:48KARA BABBLES IN VIDEO]
- 0:50I think I want the camera.
- 0:51Dani: Oh.
- 0:53Kara's Dad: Wanna stand up again?
- 0:54Kara: Is this for five minutes?
- 0:55Kara's Dad: No, stand up.
- 0:56Stand up.
- 0:57Kara: I'm not standing up.
- 0:58Dani: No.
- 0:59I like that you paused to let him talk, though.
- 1:01You're like, you understand the flow of the conversation.
- 1:04You're just like, "I'm not interested."
- 1:05Kara: I have so much to say.
- 1:07Dani: Yeah.
- 1:08Kara: It's just me walking back and forth.
- 1:09Dani: To be fair, I don't think I would know based off of those babbles.
- 1:13To me, they seem normal.
- 1:14Kara: Right.
- 1:28Kara's Dad: Look at daddy.
- 1:28Dani: No.
- 1:28Kara: No.
- 1:28But then I do.
- 1:28Dani: Yeah, but you do it on your own.
- 1:28I do.
- 1:28Like, you turn your head and you see him there out of the corner
- 1:28of your eye, and then you keep-
- 1:29Kara: But he's probably like, "Oh, she heard me."
- 1:31Dani: She, yeah, she's just, like, processing.
- 1:33Kara: Yeah.
- 1:34But then there's another vi- I'm gonna show you one more,
- 1:36'cause it's really interesting.
- 1:37This is me after being diagnosed, and you can see my parents
- 1:40turn into speech therapy mode.
- 1:42There's captions on this.
- 1:43Dani: Okay.
- 1:44How old are you?
- 1:44You're three?
- 1:45Kara: I'm about to turn two.
- 1:46Dani: Oh, okay.
- 1:49I mean- Your hair.
- 1:50Do you have, uh, hearing aids in?
- 1:52Kara: Yeah.
- 1:53Kara's Mom: Is that a shoe?
- 1:55Kara, what's this?
- 1:58Kara: They were apparently told to talk to me constantly so I can like figure
- 2:02out what sounds I'm hearing, 'cause-
- 2:04Dani: Do you remember how much hearing you had with the hearing aids?
- 2:06Kara: No, I don't remember.
- 2:08Dani: Huh.
- 2:09Kara: It's fascinating though, 'cause you're… I'm not-
- 2:11Kara's Mom: Kara…
- 2:12Kara: I'm not getting it.
- 2:15I'm playing in my mom's closet.
- 2:17Dani: Do you think this was because you couldn't hear them at all or do you
- 2:20think at this point you had established like, "I don't actually have to listen
- 2:23to them, so this doesn't matter"?
- 2:25Kara: I don't think I heard.
- 2:26But then I do look.
- 2:27And I don't know what she showed me.
- 2:28Dani: I love your mom.
- 2:30Kara's Mom: Shoe?
- 2:37Dani: You said, "Bye."
- 2:38Kara: At this age-
- 2:39Dani: The vest that you're wearing-
- 2:39Kara: Yeah
- 2:40… Dani: is that connected to the hearing aids?
- 2:41Kara: Yeah, it's called a transistor, I think.
- 2:43Dani: Okay.
- 2:44Kara: It was like an old-fashioned way of, like, being able to adjust the volume-
- 2:47Dani: Mm
- 2:47… Kara: and whatnot, 'cause I couldn't verbalize if it was
- 2:50too loud or uncomfortable.
- 2:52Dani: Oh, so you could do it yourself?
- 2:54Kara: Or my parents could or the teachers at school.
- 2:56At this point, typical babies will have, like, 50 to 100 words in
- 3:00their vocabulary, and as you can see, I'm not really saying much.
- 3:03Dani: You might not have had that many words as a baby, but
- 3:06you have a lot of words now.
- 3:08Should we get right to it?
- 3:09Kara: I do have a lot of words right now.
- 3:25Dani: Also, guys, ASMR moment, we both have Diet Cokes right now.
- 3:29Kara: From McDonald's.
- 3:29Dani: So.
- 3:31Sorry if you're hearing that in the background.
- 3:33But not that sorry.
- 3:35Kara: Season 1, Episode 29, The Trial, which aired October 15, 2012.
- 3:41Dani: I am gonna admit, I kind of forgot that whole trial thing was going on.
- 3:46There was just so much else happening.
- 3:48Kara: Yeah, like pedophilia.
- 3:49Dani: Yeah, and just, like, we were at court for other reasons.
- 3:53Kara: Yes.
- 3:54Dani: Angelo's immigration stuff.
- 3:55I just kinda, like, forgot.
- 3:56So when I was like, "The trial" ran a blank for me.
- 4:00Kara: Yeah.
- 4:01It is a real painting.
- 4:02It's by Sidney Nolan, and I think it was painted in '78.
- 4:05It depicts a famous outlaw named Ned Kelly on trial, but it's
- 4:10called that because we're on trial.
- 4:12Dani: Yeah.
- 4:13Kara: Yeah.
- 4:13Nothing more.
- 4:14Dani: It's not much to read into there.
- 4:15Kara: No.
- 4:15Dani: To be honest.
- 4:17Well, Bay is kind of on trial.
- 4:19Kara: She's the outlaw.
- 4:20Dani: And Daphne is having a crime committed onto her.
- 4:24Kara: That is true.
- 4:25Dani: So lots of court stuff
- 4:27Kara: We start off with Bay at the car wash.
- 4:30She gets a call from Zarra, who still doesn't have the money.
- 4:33Dani: Yeah.
- 4:34Kara: That sucks.
- 4:35Dani: And Bay is like, "Don't worry about it. I'll figure something out."
- 4:39Don't tell her to not worry about it.
- 4:41Kara: She should worry about it.
- 4:43Dani: She should be worried about it.
- 4:44Kara: Yeah, Zarra should be worried.
- 4:46Dani: Because her saying that, I was like, girl, now she's not even
- 4:48gonna try to get you anything back.
- 4:50Kara: At the end, she gets $78.
- 4:52Dani: Yeah.
- 4:52Kara: Is she volunteering at the library?
- 4:54I'm confused.
- 4:55Dani: I'm confused as well.
- 4:56Kara: She's not paying rent.
- 4:57Dani: The- Right.
- 4:59Library jobs are good jobs.
- 5:00Kara: Yeah.
- 5:01Dani: Anyway, Bay is also not being very comforting to Travis
- 5:04in this moment when she sees him.
- 5:06Kara: I know.
- 5:07Does he whip out some of his own money, or is that the money he's adding up?
- 5:11Dani: It's money he's adding up.
- 5:13Kara: Okay.
- 5:13Dani: Thankfully.
- 5:14Yeah, he's not trying to-
- 5:16Kara: That's true, he's not getting involved.
- 5:17He's just like, "Please fill up the safe again."
- 5:20Dani: Yeah.
- 5:21Bay shows up, and she's like, "Here's $270."
- 5:25Kara: Yeah, she got some from Toby, and the rest is hers.
- 5:28Dani: The rest is a 20 that she found in her pants.
- 5:32Kara: Oh my God, yeah.
- 5:33Dani: So she got 250 from Toby, and then $20 of her own money, and
- 5:37Travis is like, "What the fuck?" And she's like, "No, it's gonna be fine.
- 5:40Don't worry."
- 5:41Kara: But John is making the bank deposit tomorrow.
- 5:43Dani: Yeah, so.
- 5:45Kara: We need this by tomorrow-
- 5:46Dani: Yeah.
- 5:46Kara: Or else I will be losing my job.
- 5:48He will be firing me.
- 5:49Dani: Yeah, Travis is really stressed, and Bay's just kinda like,
- 5:52"Yeah, yeah, got it," and leaves.
- 5:54Kara: We're at the guest house.
- 5:55Melody and Regina are having girl talk about Chef Jeff.
- 5:58Dani: I would assume about their mutual breakups, 'cause Regina
- 6:01has just been dumped as well.
- 6:02Kara: Right, by Patrick.
- 6:04Dani: Who we don't see in this episode, so maybe you were right last episode
- 6:07to say that was the end of him.
- 6:08Kara: Yeah.
- 6:09Dani: Hopefully you're right.
- 6:10Kara: Also, SimCom alert, because Regina is speaking out loud to a Deaf person, and
- 6:17there's just the two of them in the room.
- 6:18I know I say this every episode, but it baffles me.
- 6:21Dani: She can't this time.
- 6:23Her wrist.
- 6:23Kara: I know, she- her wrist.
- 6:24Dani: Her wrist.
- 6:25Kara: She has another hand.
- 6:27It's fine.
- 6:28Dani: I think that, I don't know if she's said this already or if they
- 6:30say it later, that, like, she's not allowed to use that one in case the
- 6:34carpal tunnel starts in that hand.
- 6:36Something a little bit confusing is that she's still working.
- 6:41Kara: As a hair stylist.
- 6:41Dani: As a hair stylist.
- 6:43I obviously, again, caveat that this is Constance Marie's
- 6:47actual problem in real life.
- 6:50Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 6:50Dani: But if I were Regina, I would rather find a new line of work to give my hands a
- 6:56rest that way, and keep the language that I use to communicate with my daughter in.
- 6:59I don't know, just my opinion.
- 7:01Kara: Hot take.
- 7:02Dani: Anyway, they're chatting, and Melody's talking about Chef Jeff and
- 7:06the fact that they're broken up, and she's like, "Obviously, I didn't expect
- 7:10it to turn into a relationship." Then she's like, "And it's so embarrassing,
- 7:14I left my sunglasses there and he told me he would drop them off in the
- 7:17mailbox, which is, like, humiliating."
- 7:20Timeline check.
- 7:21Later on in this episode, Melody's gonna say that her and Jeff were
- 7:25sleeping together for almost a month.
- 7:28Kara: Okay.
- 7:28Dani: So it was not just a one-night stand.
- 7:30It just gets ickier and ickier.
- 7:32Like, not that it wasn't already icky that they slept together once, but
- 7:35they were actively sleeping together.
- 7:37Kara: When he-
- 7:37Dani: Multiple times.
- 7:38They'd both been to each other's places.
- 7:40Kara: Right.
- 7:40Dani: When the thing with Daphne started up.
- 7:43Kara: Ugh.
- 7:43Dani: Because he did not end things with Melody until after he
- 7:46and Daphne kissed in the kitchen.
- 7:47Kara: Yes.
- 7:48Dani: Even though we saw him take, like, a step back at the fundraiser.
- 7:52Kara: It seems like this wa- happened yesterday.
- 7:54Dani: Yeah.
- 7:55Kara: It's-
- 7:55Dani: The way that Melody's reacting makes me think that there was,
- 7:59like, true… It wasn't just sex.
- 8:01Like, they were, like, hanging out at each other's places and stuff.
- 8:04Kara: Yeah, and Regina says, "That sucks, but at least now you're not
- 8:07dating a guy that Daphne has a crush on."
- 8:09Dani: Yeah.
- 8:10Kara: And this is news to Melody.
- 8:11Dani: Yes.
- 8:12And Melody's like, "Oh my God," and Regina's like, "Ah, I
- 8:14shouldn't have even said anything.
- 8:15It doesn't matter." And Melody's freaked out.
- 8:18Kara: She's like, "Well, now I feel 80."
- 8:20Dani: So then cut to Chef Jeff and Daphne are out on their food truck date.
- 8:25Kara: Chef Jeff has ordered chapulines, which are fried grasshoppers.
- 8:29Dani: And Daphne is giving him crap about it, and he's like…
- 8:33They're having, like, a flirty back and forth, where he's like,
- 8:35"Come on, try one." First time I've agreed with Chef Jeff-
- 8:38Kara: Me too.
- 8:38Dani: Outright, him saying shrimps are the bugs of the ocean.
- 8:42Kara: Oh, I was going to agree about, like, they're a great source
- 8:44of protein, and your mind is closed because you're not used to eating that.
- 8:48Dani: True, and I'm gonna keep my mind closed.
- 8:51Kara: Yeah.
- 8:51Dani: Cause my mind isn't even open to shrimp.
- 8:53Shrimp are the roaches of the ocean.
- 8:56And I wouldn't-
- 8:57Kara: And the Jews agree.
- 8:57Dani: And I wouldn't eat roaches either.
- 8:59I personally wouldn't eat either, just 'cause their spindly
- 9:01long legs really freak me out.
- 9:03I think I have, like, a phobia, 'cause it…
- 9:05That's my problem with spiders too.
- 9:07Kara: Yeah.
- 9:07Dani: Like, any bug with, like, really long, skinny legs,
- 9:09like, just makes my skin crawl.
- 9:11Kara: You must hate daddy long legs.
- 9:12Dani: I try to leave spiders alone.
- 9:14Kara: I know.
- 9:15Me too.
- 9:16Dani: But I am so scared of them, so it's, like, a real sacrifice on my part.
- 9:19But I don't even try to take them outside, 'cause you know, if
- 9:21you take them outside, they die.
- 9:22Kara: Really?
- 9:23Dani: Spiders can't regulate their body temperature.
- 9:26Kara: Oh.
- 9:26Dani: That fast, so if you… I, what I will do when I'm at my parents' place,
- 9:30'cause they have, like, a guest garage space, I will take them from the main
- 9:34house, put them in the guest garage space, where my father sleeps, 'cause
- 9:38he doesn't care about the spiders.
- 9:40But I will no longer just, like, put a spider outside, because
- 9:44that's sentencing it to death.
- 9:46Kara: Oh, the more you know.
- 9:48Anyway, Daphne is disgusted by the grasshoppers at first, but then
- 9:52she tries it and she likes it.
- 9:54Dani: She's like, "I'm an open-minded woman." And Chef Jeff says, "Just one
- 9:59of the many things I love about you."
- 10:01Ugh.
- 10:02Kara: We're gonna have to add another content warning to this episode, for sure.
- 10:05Dani: Yeah, for sure.
- 10:06Along with a note saying please do not scrape this podcast for AI
- 10:10training because we are pretty sure our podcast maybe ended up on some
- 10:14nefarious sites offering up our audio for podcast training, unless
- 10:20we suddenly have a new fan base.
- 10:24Kara: In Iraq?
- 10:25Yeah.
- 10:25Dani: Yeah.
- 10:25Kara: Then that'd be great.
- 10:26Dani: And in that case, shout out to you guys, and welcome.
- 10:29We're happy you're here.
- 10:30But I don't know that this show aired there.
- 10:34Kara: Who's to say?
- 10:35Dani: Who's to say, really?
- 10:36So yeah, please don't use this for AI, please and thank you.
- 10:39Kara: Yeah.
- 10:40Dani: Okay, Angelo's back.
- 10:42Kara: He's home.
- 10:43He arrives at the guest house.
- 10:45Regina tells him she and Patrick broke up.
- 10:48Dani: And his eyes light up.
- 10:50Kara: Yes.
- 10:51Also, he got fired.
- 10:52Dani: He quit, but he got, yeah.
- 10:54Kara: And-
- 10:55Dani: Shocker.
- 10:56Kara: Regina's makes it sound like this is very typical.
- 10:59Dani: I'm not surprised.
- 11:00Kara: Me neither.
- 11:01It's just some, like, stupid argument between the couple
- 11:04he was working for, and-
- 11:05Dani: Yeah, they wanted two different types of wood for the cabinets.
- 11:08Kara: Yeah.
- 11:09Dani: And Angelo listened to the woman, and then the husband got mad.
- 11:13Do we think that maybe he was actually mad 'cause Angelo and the
- 11:17woman had- I bet he was flirt- … a little flirtation going on?
- 11:20Kara: I bet he was flirting with her.
- 11:22Dani: I agree.
- 11:22Yeah.
- 11:23Especially 'cause he was like, "I can't remember the husband's name."
- 11:26Remember in the last episode?
- 11:26Kara: Yes.
- 11:27Dani: Anyway, yeah.
- 11:28He's back, and he's like, "Will you come support me at the trial?" And
- 11:32Regina's like, "No." But then does.
- 11:34But then, like, maybe.
- 11:35Kara: Yeah.
- 11:35Dani: Yeah.
- 11:35But then, spoiler alert, guys, she comes and supports him.
- 11:39Now we're in the church basement hangout jam space.
- 11:44New set unlocked, kind of.
- 11:46Kara: Yeah, it has a stage and also a ping pong table.
- 11:48Dani: Yeah.
- 11:49Kara: I went to church growing up.
- 11:50It looks like a church basement.
- 11:51Dani: Okay.
- 11:52And Emmett's there, 'cause he and Emmett and Nikki are all gonna
- 11:56be in a band together, so they're practicing for the first time.
- 12:00And Emmett looks so cute when he signs to Toby, "Are all the
- 12:03songs gonna be about Jesus?"
- 12:05Kara: And Toby's like, "Just play." Nikki, at first, though, is like,
- 12:07"How can a deaf guy play drums?"
- 12:10Dani: I think important to include that.
- 12:11I was like, oh, brother, this again.
- 12:14But I think it's like-
- 12:15Kara: Yeah.
- 12:15Dani: It's nice to acknowledge any new person brought into that scenario
- 12:18is gonna be a little bit ignorant.
- 12:20Kara: Even Jesusy people.
- 12:21Dani: Yeah, even Jesusy people.
- 12:23Kara: Yeah.
- 12:23Dani: And she's very nice about it, and then she's immediately like, "Oh, I was
- 12:27wrong." And she seems to like Emmett, so.
- 12:29Kara: Yeah.
- 12:29And the three of them take an official band selfie, and she
- 12:32goes, "Awesome sauce. Thank you."
- 12:34Dani: You know why she keeps saying that, right?
- 12:36' Kara: Cause that's gonna be the band name.
- 12:37Dani: Yeah.
- 12:38It's so bad.
- 12:39Kara: And also 'cause it's 2012.
- 12:40Dani: It's so painful.
- 12:41Also, there definitely was already a band named Awesome Sauce in 2012.
- 12:45Back on this date, Chef Jeff and Daphne are walking, and Daphne's, like, trying
- 12:52to convince him to be more fun at work.
- 12:55Kara: By playing music.
- 12:57Dani: Right.
- 12:57I think this is, like, a bad-
- 12:59Kara: I didn't even-
- 12:59Dani: Road for her to go down.
- 13:01But then he's like, "Should we go back to my place for some gelato?" And she's like,
- 13:06"I don't know." And he's like, "What?
- 13:08Don't wanna have fun?" Ugh.
- 13:10And I was like, wow, good for Daphne that she's like… I was thinking
- 13:15her hesitation was that she was feeling kind of weird about it.
- 13:20Kara: Yeah.
- 13:21Dani: But I think it's just that her stomach hurts from the grasshoppers.
- 13:24Kara: Yes.
- 13:24Dani: Because then they go inside.
- 13:26Kara: But before they go inside, the camera pans to Daphne's car,
- 13:30which has a Carlton sticker on it.
- 13:31Dani: Right.
- 13:32Kara: Important for us to see.
- 13:33Dani: So they go inside.
- 13:35Kara: Yeah.
- 13:36Dani: And-
- 13:37Kara: It's gelato time.
- 13:38Dani: Fig and goat cheese is the gelato flavor.
- 13:41Kara: Of course it is.
- 13:42Dani: That he has prepared, with two spoons, and he brings it over,
- 13:45and she says, "Oof, I'm not over those crickets or grasshoppers yet.
- 13:49I can't." And he's like, "Totally fair." And then she's looking at a photo of
- 13:53him with his apprentice, or with his mentor when he was an apprentice.
- 13:58Kara: Yes.
- 13:59Dani: And she's like, "That's my dream, to apprentice in France."
- 14:02And he's like, "I would put in a good word for you." And she's like, "What?
- 14:05He'd hate me." And then, ugh, Jeff grabs her arms and, like, pulls her in
- 14:13and is like, "Not everyone's gonna be an idiot like I was." And then he goes
- 14:17and they start to kiss, and it's gross and it made me very uncomfortable.
- 14:21Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 14:21Dani: And then I was like, Daphne looks really uncomfortable.
- 14:24Maybe she's finally realizing this is weird.
- 14:27And then no, she pulls away and she's gonna be sick, not because
- 14:30she's kissing a middle-aged man and she's in high school, but because
- 14:34the grasshoppers hurt her stomach.
- 14:36So she runs to the bathroom to throw up, and Jeff is trying to
- 14:41talk to her through the wall, and then is like, "She can't hear me."
- 14:45And then the doorbell rings.
- 14:47Kara: Yes.
- 14:48Melody stops by to retrieve her non-accidentally forgotten sunglasses,
- 14:54and Chef Jeff is like, "Oh, shit. Actually, come on in, because
- 14:59you can't hear the vomiting." What if Daphne came out the door?
- 15:01Dani: I know.
- 15:02This is a crazy plan.
- 15:03And then Melody pokes her head in, sees that he's got ice cream with two
- 15:08spoons, and is like, "Oh, shit, he's on a date, I bet," runs to flee to leave.
- 15:14Kara: Runs out.
- 15:14She sees Daphne's car, and yet she doesn't run right back in-
- 15:18Dani: No.
- 15:19Kara: To punch him in the face.
- 15:20Dani: That's crazy.
- 15:21Kara: Or call Regina.
- 15:22Dani: My hot take is later on in the episode, Daphne comes by to pick
- 15:27up some of her schoolwork because she's missing some school days
- 15:30so that she can attend the trial.
- 15:32Kara: Yes.
- 15:32Dani: And Melody has a talk with her and is like, "How are you doing?"
- 15:36And Daphne's like, "I'm fine." And Melody's like, "Let's talk about
- 15:40how you were mad at me about Chef Jeff." And Daphne's like, "Whatever.
- 15:42I don't wanna talk about it.
- 15:43I wanna go." Melody's like, "Stay here with me.
- 15:47Let me tell you about when I dated my college professor."
- 15:50Kara: Yes.
- 15:51Dani: "He was 15 years older than me, and it was really fun at first, and
- 15:54then I, as we got further into things, my friends didn't get along with him.
- 16:00I couldn't get along with his friends.
- 16:02Our worlds couldn't mix, and it got more and more uncomfortable.
- 16:05Those things matter in a relationship." I think- For Melody's role in
- 16:10Daphne's life, this was the best thing she could have done for Daphne.
- 16:14I also think Melody should have immediately driven to Regina and said,
- 16:18"Oh my God, go get your daughter."
- 16:19Kara: Yeah.
- 16:20Dani: But I do not think in that moment it was… I think if Melody had been, like,
- 16:24more, I don't know, like, more imposing with her feelings- It wouldn't have worked
- 16:29… it would push Daphne further away.
- 16:31Kara: Right.
- 16:32Dani: But I feel like even though Daphne's like, "Whatever, I've, I gotta go," I feel
- 16:37like something's getting through to Daphne a little because Melody's like, "Listen."
- 16:42Daphne says, "It's not my fault that he chose me," in response to Melody
- 16:46being like, "I dated my college professor." Again, not the same thing.
- 16:49Melody was in college.
- 16:51Kara: Right.
- 16:51Dani: Still icky.
- 16:52That's kinda crazy.
- 16:53I feel like-
- 16:54Kara: Still weird and bad, but she's at least-
- 16:55Dani: Still weird and bad.
- 16:56Kara: Over 18.
- 16:57Dani: Yeah.
- 16:57Melody's like, "Daphne, don't be stupid. I am basically your mother."
- 17:02Kara: Yes.
- 17:02Dani: "Who do you think I care about in this scenario? It's not him."
- 17:07Kara: I like that she said that.
- 17:08Dani: Yeah.
- 17:08I think Melody's doing the best thing that she can do, is, like, planting a seed
- 17:14of, like, hey, I've done this, and I'm not gonna, like, turn you in to anyone.
- 17:18I think on the low she still should have turned her in.
- 17:21Kara: Me too.
- 17:21Dani: But if it's already happening, I think this is, like, a good
- 17:24way to try to build up some protection for Daphne, I would hope.
- 17:28Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 17:28Dani: I don't know.
- 17:29I'm not-
- 17:29Kara: But then it doesn't work.
- 17:30Dani: No, it doesn't work.
- 17:31I know.
- 17:31And then the next day, Bay and Daphne have a little chat in the morning, a
- 17:36little sisterly chat, where Daphne's like, "I almost slept with Jeff last
- 17:42night, but then I was vomiting."
- 17:43Bay is like, "Oh yeah, I get it. Everyone's probably
- 17:46nervous their first time."
- 17:47Kara: Nervous enough that you're vomiting?
- 17:49Dani: That you're vom- if you're vo- hey, if you're vomiting-
- 17:51Kara: PSA.
- 17:52Dani: Before your first time, not even ever, just first
- 17:55time having sex with someone-
- 17:56Kara: You're not ready.
- 17:57Dani: You probab- your body probably does not wanna have sex with that
- 18:00person, genuinely, unless you have, like, a condition that makes you
- 18:04vomit, or I guess food poisoning.
- 18:07But hey, if you're vomiting, let's not.
- 18:09Let's just skip the sex.
- 18:10It's fine.
- 18:11Kara: Yeah.
- 18:11Vomit is not sexy, guys.
- 18:13Dani: No, for anyone involved, it'll… And if you have food
- 18:15poisoning, also don't have sex.
- 18:17Kara: Yeah.
- 18:18But then Daphne goes, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not a virgin."
- 18:21Dani: Yeah, which I thought we'd already kind of established between them then.
- 18:23Kara: I feel like we had this conversation already.
- 18:25Dani: Yeah, but they're about to have it again.
- 18:27I know.
- 18:27And then Bay is like, "Well, I'm a virgin." And Daphne's like, Daphne's
- 18:32like, "You and Emmett never?" Bay's like, "No," and Daphne goes, "Wow.
- 18:36Wow."
- 18:36Kara: Wow.
- 18:38Dani: Wow.
- 18:38Kara: Wow.
- 18:39And Bay's like, "That's enough."
- 18:40Dani: Bay is so offended.
- 18:41Kara: But Daphne goes, "Did I ruin everything with me and Chef Jeff?" and
- 18:44Bay goes, "No, I think you're good."
- 18:46Dani: But earlier on in the conversation was like, "I cannot
- 18:49believe you're gonna sleep with that old man. That's crazy." Again, I
- 18:53also think Bay is doing what she can.
- 18:55Like, I don't think Bay being like, "Hey, don't do that," is gonna do anything.
- 18:58Kara: No, it's not gonna help.
- 18:59Dani: So at least she can be a support system for- I just- … when Daphne
- 19:02inevitably crashes out from this trauma.
- 19:04Kara: I just need someone to go to Regina.
- 19:06Dani: Yeah.
- 19:07Kara: Anyone.
- 19:08Dani: Anyone.
- 19:09Kara: We're getting ready for the trial, because-
- 19:11Dani: Yeah.
- 19:11Kara: John and Kathryn are sitting in the living room with Craig
- 19:14Tebbe, and then Angelo's lawyer.
- 19:16Yeah.
- 19:16I think that's who that is.
- 19:17Dani: But Angelo is not there.
- 19:19Kara: Yes.
- 19:20It's suspicious that he's not there.
- 19:22Dani: He's, it is kind of suspicious.
- 19:24I chalked it up to he's just, like, flaky as hell, because they're like,
- 19:29"Well, Angelo will be here tomorrow when he's back from his trip." And
- 19:32Kathryn's like, "He's back from his trip.
- 19:34He came in this morning."
- 19:35Kara: And the lawyer's like, "Oh, yeah."
- 19:37Dani: The lawyer's like, "Right. Right."
- 19:38Kara: And he's popping Tums.
- 19:40Dani: Yeah.
- 19:40So-
- 19:41Kara: He's stressed.
- 19:42Dani: He's stressed.
- 19:43Kara: Bay is trying to get money for the safe by going up to Buckner students
- 19:49and lying that she's throwing a party.
- 19:51Dani: This is kind of a good idea, actually.
- 19:52Kara: Yeah.
- 19:53But no one's biting.
- 19:54Dani: To be like, "Pitch in for this massive party I'm doing."
- 19:58Kara: Yeah, it's a Halloween … She said Halloween party, so I'm assuming it's-
- 20:01Dani: What time of year are we in?
- 20:03I don't-
- 20:03Kara: Well, they just started school again.
- 20:05That was like- So it's gotta be October.
- 20:06Dani: That was, like, three episodes ago, which could mean
- 20:09any period of time in this show.
- 20:11That could be two weeks ago.
- 20:12That could be two months ago.
- 20:14Anyway.
- 20:14Time, hopefully.
- 20:14I guess Halloween's close enough that it makes sense.
- 20:17And Simone comes over and is like, "So you hate Halloween, and I know that,
- 20:21so clearly something's going on. What do you need the money for? I'll just
- 20:24give it to you." I am fine with this.
- 20:27Kara: I'm fine with taking your money.
- 20:28Dani: I'm fine with Simone paying reparations.
- 20:30I think that's okay.
- 20:32Kara: Yeah.
- 20:32Bay at first is like, "I would never take money from you." And then she gets
- 20:35a text from Travis saying like, "I need the money now." And Bay's like, "Okay,
- 20:40actually, I will take the money from you."
- 20:42Dani: Simone's like, "I literally have my checkbook on me."
- 20:45Okay.
- 20:45Kara: Who brings a checkbook to school?
- 20:47Rich people?
- 20:48Dani: I think Simone's got some other stuff going on-
- 20:51Kara: Yeah, you're right
- 20:52… Dani: at this point.
- 20:53Kara: Daphne goes to the car wash to find Travis, because
- 20:57he's been avoiding her at school.
- 21:00Dani: Yeah, 'cause she-
- 21:00Kara: And she's like, "Hey".
- 21:01Dani: Blew him off at the open house.
- 21:02Kara: Yeah.
- 21:03Fair enough.
- 21:03Dani: After feeding him.
- 21:05Kara: A taco.
- 21:06Dani: A taco out of her hand.
- 21:07Kara: And then go-
- 21:08Dani: Hand feeding him a taco.
- 21:10Kara: And then abandoning him at this open house to be with Chef Jeff.
- 21:15Dani: Yeah.
- 21:16So and he's like-
- 21:17Kara: She apologizes.
- 21:18Dani: Yeah, and he's like, "Whatever. I don't really care
- 21:20about that anymore. I have bigger problems." And then he tells her.
- 21:23Kara: Yeah, he's like, "I'm so scared I'll lose my job because
- 21:26Bay took money from the safe."
- 21:27Dani: I'm glad he told Daphne.
- 21:29I think that was the right thing to do.
- 21:30Kara: Me too.
- 21:31Toby shows up to Nikki's place of work.
- 21:34She works at a froyo shop.
- 21:36That sounds really good.
- 21:37Dani: And- I'd be pissed if someone did this.
- 21:39He do- he shows up to her place of work multiple times this episode-
- 21:42Kara: He does.
- 21:43Dani: To chat.
- 21:43She's busy.
- 21:44She's cleaning down those froyo tables.
- 21:47Kara: I know.
- 21:47It gets messy.
- 21:48Dani: Froyo's messy.
- 21:48Kara: It gets very messy.
- 21:50He says, "Hey, I have a CD of songs I wrote that we can maybe use for
- 21:53the band." And she goes, "Oof.
- 21:55Actually, we can't play together anymore because my boyfriend, Jed, is jealous."
- 22:00Dani: Oh.
- 22:01Kara: Yeah.
- 22:01Can we wrap this plot up?
- 22:03Dani: Yeah.
- 22:04Kara: Toby later tells Emmett the band is over, and Emmett goes,
- 22:08"'Cause Jed is envious? Isn't that like one of the seven deadly sins?"
- 22:11Dani: Very funny.
- 22:12Kara: That was funny.
- 22:13Emmett was funny this episode.
- 22:15Dani: Yeah.
- 22:15Emmett's back in our good graces.
- 22:17Kara: Yeah.
- 22:17Dani: I don't know that he deserves to be there, but he is.
- 22:20Kara: Yeah.
- 22:20But Emmett seemed to really like the jam session they had earlier, so he's
- 22:24like, "Wait, no. I'm so excited to play again. Like, we can't quit."
- 22:27Dani: He goes on the, he has this great monologue about like all
- 22:31the things that have happened to bands that they've been through.
- 22:34Like- Like bands' lead singers have died in plane crashes and-
- 22:38Kara: Def Leppard's drummer lost an arm, but he still played, and-
- 22:41Dani: Yeah.
- 22:42Kara: Someone drowned in their own vomit, and someone did this.
- 22:45Dani: Yeah.
- 22:45And Toby's like, "I think I understood part of that.
- 22:48I guess you're saying never give up?" And Emmett's like, "Yeah, never give up."
- 22:52And so then Toby goes back to Nikki's place of work and is like, "I actually
- 22:57don't think your boyfriend should get to decide who you're in a band with."
- 23:01Kara: Also, I know what it's like to be cheated on, and I don't
- 23:04wanna do that to anyone else.
- 23:05I just wanna jam.
- 23:06Dani: Yeah.
- 23:07So and Nikki's like, "Okay. When's rehearsal?" This, their
- 23:13dynamic pisses me off so much.
- 23:15I don't know if you're watching Off Campus, and if you aren't,
- 23:18you don't need to start.
- 23:19It's so bad.
- 23:21Sorry, guys.
- 23:21Kara: My mom's watching it.
- 23:22Dani: That's tough.
- 23:23It's so bad, and the thing that pisses me off the most is that the
- 23:28main characters', like, main way of communicating that they have chemistry is,
- 23:32like, staring at each other and laughing.
- 23:34Oh.
- 23:35But they're laughing at nothing.
- 23:37So it feels like I'm watching, like, a, a increasingly insane SNL skit where they're
- 23:42just, like, uh, throwing their heads back and laughing at absolutely nothing, and
- 23:46that feels similar to what's going on-
- 23:49Kara: Wow, okay.
- 23:50Dani: Here with Toby and Nikki.
- 23:51That, like, the two actors don't really have a chemistry,
- 23:54so instead they're just…
- 23:55She goes, like, "What time's rehearsal?" And then it cuts to Toby, and he's
- 23:59just, like, smiling and laughing at her.
- 24:01Kara: And then ge goes, "Awesome sauce." Ugh.
- 24:04Dani: Gross.
- 24:05Kara: That's the end of that plot.
- 24:06Dani: That's good.
- 24:06That's the end of that plot.
- 24:07I, I don't really care about this band.
- 24:09I'm sorry, Toby.
- 24:10I want them to give you something of substance that I'm interested in.
- 24:14I guess I'm excited for Emmett's redemption arc. I think they're using
- 24:18Toby to redeem Emmett in the fans' eyes.
- 24:21Kara: That makes sense to me.
- 24:22I'll allow it.
- 24:23Dani: The plotline's all about Jesus, and he was, like, really
- 24:25into forgiveness, famously.
- 24:27Kara: True.
- 24:27Dani: So I guess that's what they're trying to do.
- 24:30Kara: Yeah.
- 24:30Bay has deposited that check immediately that Simone has written, because
- 24:35she is running back to the car wash, ready to put this money back in the
- 24:38safe, and they do, like, just in the nick of time before John comes in.
- 24:42Dani: Yeah.
- 24:43He, she has to, like, run out-
- 24:45Kara: And distract him.
- 24:45Dani: While Travis is doing it, and be like, "Hey, what should
- 24:48I wear to court?" And then they have a really sweet exchange.
- 24:51It, like, hurts that John is being so nice.
- 24:53He's like, "And sweetie, I really appreciate you standing by us
- 24:57during all of this." I feel bad.
- 24:59Kara: And so does Bay.
- 25:00Dani: Yeah, Bay feels bad as well.
- 25:02Later on, John is like, "Something's wrong with the money," and, and
- 25:06immediately does assume it's Travis.
- 25:08I do like that he asks Daphne, "Does Travis have anything going on at home that
- 25:13would be making him act up or whatever?" And Daphne's like, "No, he's great.
- 25:18He's fine," lying, because she thinks that's, like, better.
- 25:21But I do like the implication that John is more concerned about Travis
- 25:25than about the money situation.
- 25:28But what happens with the money that tips him off?
- 25:31Kara: He said the money was in hundreds before, but now it's mainly in 20s.
- 25:36Dani: Oh, okay.
- 25:37That's what it is.
- 25:38Kara: And he's worrying that Travis has borrowed money from the safe.
- 25:42Dani: Right.
- 25:42Kara: That's where him, his mind immediately goes, 'cause Travis
- 25:45knows the combination to the safe.
- 25:47Right.
- 25:47Yeah.
- 25:48Dani: Okay.
- 25:48That makes sense.
- 25:49Kara: Yeah.
- 25:50It's trial time.
- 25:51Dani: It's trial time.
- 25:52Kara: Colleen Vandernoot, the lactation nurse who believes in the Antichrist.
- 25:57Dani: Yeah.
- 25:58Kara: Is testifying, and at the same time, Bay and Daphne are sitting and arguing.
- 26:05Dani: This scene was so good.
- 26:07Kara: Daphne signs to Bay, like, "John knows, by the way."
- 26:10Dani: Well, first she whispers it, and then they get shushed-
- 26:14Kara: And then they-
- 26:14Dani: by the court people, and it's like, yeah, duh.
- 26:17Kara: Sign.
- 26:17Dani: Sign.
- 26:18So thankfully they do.
- 26:20Kara: Daphne says, "John knows something's up with the safe, and he
- 26:23thinks Travis took it, and if he gets fired, it's gonna be all your fault."
- 26:27And Bay goes, "Well, look who's talking." And then Daphne goes,
- 26:30"You tell John or I will."
- 26:31Dani: And then Bay says out loud something about, like, "At least
- 26:34I'm not sleeping with my 85-year-old boyfriend." Out loud in the court.
- 26:39I mean, she says it quiet, but still.
- 26:41Anyway, meanwhile in the background, Colleen Vandernoot
- 26:44starts out giving a good testimony.
- 26:47Kara: Yes.
- 26:48Dani: And then-
- 26:48Kara: They go to recess.
- 26:49Dani: They go to recess.
- 26:51Kara: And during recess, Bay is like, "Shit, I feel guilty." She
- 26:55goes up to Kathryn to tell her.
- 26:57Dani: She doesn't feel guilty.
- 26:58She's like, "Daphne's gonna tell them if I don't tell them."
- 27:01Kara: Right.
- 27:01Dani: She's being forced to confess.
- 27:03Kara: Kathryn immediately goes, "I wanna know what you see in Zarra, why you felt
- 27:06like you had to get her out of jail."
- 27:09And Bay says, "Well, if I wasn't switched, she's who I would've been.
- 27:13Like, she's part Latina. She's an artist."
- 27:15Dani: This is so bad.
- 27:16Kara: "She's from East Riverside." And Kathryn says, "If that's true, I
- 27:19don't like who you would've been, and I don't like who you're becoming."
- 27:23Dani: That's very harsh and a bit fucked up of Kathryn, I think.
- 27:27Kara: Yeah.
- 27:27Dani: But Bay is so, like, weirdly delusional about who she would have been.
- 27:34Like, you wouldn't have been Zarra.
- 27:36Kara: No.
- 27:36It's odd.
- 27:37I don't, I don't know.
- 27:38Dani: Anyway.
- 27:39Kara: Cross-examination time.
- 27:41The recess is over.
- 27:42They go back to cross-examining Colleen, and the attorney asks her
- 27:47about the barcodes on the hospital bracelets to destroy her credibility.
- 27:51That's the main purpose.
- 27:52Dani: Yeah.
- 27:53Kara: And she confesses that she believes that the barcodes are being
- 27:56used as a mark of the Antichrist.
- 27:58Dani: They bring up this blog that she writes for that talks about the mark of
- 28:02the beast, and then they show her one of the barcode bracelets, and she's,
- 28:06like, visibly distressed to see it.
- 28:08I was so saddened thinking about by today's standards of what
- 28:13we hear spouted from literal government officials these days.
- 28:17She doesn't even sound insane to me.
- 28:20Like, this isn't even the craziest conspiracy theory I've ever heard.
- 28:23Kara: I know.
- 28:24Dani: There are literal people in our government being like, "Yeah,
- 28:27the Antichrist is very real."
- 28:28Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 28:29Dani: So spooky stuff.
- 28:31But in her outburst, she says, "Those poor Tiffanys were switched."
- 28:36Kara: And she points to Bay and Daphne, and everyone is like, "What?"
- 28:39Dani: And everyone's like, "This girl's crazy."
- 28:42Kara: Yeah.
- 28:43So credibility destroyed.
- 28:45Dani: Mm-hmm.
- 28:45Kara: That's unfortunate.
- 28:46Not good for Craig Tebbe and the other lawyer.
- 28:49Dani: We're back at the Kennish house, and Kathryn and Bay are
- 28:53both in the kitchen late at night.
- 28:55Kara: She's giving Bay the cold shoulder.
- 28:56Dani: Yeah.
- 28:57I-
- 28:58Kara: I hate when parents do this.
- 28:59Dani: I hate when parents do this.
- 29:01She's like, obviously she should be mad at Bay, but Bay is, like, trying
- 29:04to be like, "Do you wanna split a pudding?" And she's, like, passive
- 29:08aggressively being mad at her instead of just being like, "No, I'm mad at you."
- 29:12And then finally she's like- "I'm mad at you" and here's what's
- 29:15gonna happen," which is the mature adult way to handle it.
- 29:18Do not give your child the semi-silent treatment.
- 29:21You're not a child yourself.
- 29:22Kara: I know.
- 29:23She goes, "Here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna tell John not to fire
- 29:26Travis, and you will be working off the money that you took from the safe."
- 29:30Dani: Fair.
- 29:31I think that's good.
- 29:32Kara: Yeah.
- 29:33Great plan.
- 29:34Now we go to Maize, the restaurant.
- 29:37Dani: Yeah.
- 29:37Kara: Daphne.
- 29:38Dani: Jeff is being, like, flirty with Daphne about cutting up some kind of
- 29:43bug, I don't know, in the kitchen.
- 29:46Is he being open about dating Daphne in the kitchen?
- 29:49It seems like yes.
- 29:51Kara: It's so odd.
- 29:52Dani: By the way he's acting around her.
- 29:53Kara: Everyone else in the kitchen is deaf.
- 29:55But Daphne's like, "Can we chat?" They go in the freezer to talk,
- 29:59and she's like, "Melody knows.
- 30:01Melody knows about us." And Chef Jeff is like, "Hmm.
- 30:04That makes sense, 'cause she did stop at my place to get sunglasses
- 30:08while you were throwing up." And Daphne goes, "Well, shit.
- 30:11Melody's gonna tell my mom."
- 30:12Dani: The temperature in that freezer drops even further, 'cause
- 30:17she's, like, freaked about Melody, and he's freaked about Melody.
- 30:20And then Daphne goes, "I'm just scared 'cause she's gonna tell my
- 30:22mom." And the second he hears that, he's like right, this is a child.
- 30:27And then she sees that in his face and is like, "No, no, no.
- 30:30It's fine.
- 30:31I can handle my mom." And he's like, "What we're doing is stupid,
- 30:34and we both know that, and it's easy for me to forget your age when
- 30:39it's just the two of us together."
- 30:40Kara: I'm throwing up right now.
- 30:42Dani: Ugh.
- 30:43I hate that they're trying to be like, no, no, no, for him
- 30:45the age isn't part of it, guys.
- 30:47Like, for him, he's dating her despite the fact that she's 16, actually.
- 30:51So it's fine.
- 30:52So Daphne's, like, frantic and desperate, and he's, like, very, "No, we need
- 30:57to stop, because now I'm thinking about how I could get in trouble."
- 31:00Kara: And Daphne's eyes well up.
- 31:02Dani: Yeah, she's very upset.
- 31:03Kara: And they're touching hands, and then he drops his hands.
- 31:07Dani: Yeah.
- 31:07Kara: And walks away.
- 31:09Dani: And then we're at the Kennish house, and John and Kathryn are having a nice
- 31:12little moment where Kathryn basically says, "Even if we lose this lawsuit or
- 31:18we get, like, a shitty settlement offer, I'm glad that we stuck to our guns."
- 31:21Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 31:22Dani: And they're comforting each other.
- 31:24And then-
- 31:25Kara: Ding-dong!
- 31:25Dani: Ding-dong.
- 31:26Craig Tebbe's at the door, and he walks in and he says, "Remember how that crazy
- 31:31lady was talking about the Tiffany's? Well, turns out three months before Bay
- 31:35and Daphne were switched, two other babies named Tiffany were born on the same day
- 31:39at that hospital, and they were switched."
- 31:42Kara: I cannot believe no one found out.
- 31:45Dani: Right?
- 31:46I'm confused that there was no lawsuit back then.
- 31:48I- if this happened to me, I would be shouting it from the rooftops.
- 31:51Kara: Do not give birth in this hospital.
- 31:53Dani: I would be standing out in front of the entrance of the hospital, like-
- 31:56Kara: Right.
- 31:56Dani: Don't go here.
- 31:58Kara: Yeah.
- 31:58But he's like, "Great news. The mother of one of the Tiffany
- 32:02babies will testify tomorrow."
- 32:04Dani: Yeah.
- 32:04Kara: "So you're in luck." And then at the courthouse the next day, Craig
- 32:07Tebbe comes over with one of the moms.
- 32:09Dani: Yes.
- 32:10And Kathryn pulls her aside to talk beforehand, and they have
- 32:15an insanely insensitive exchange.
- 32:17I was- This, this mother does…
- 32:19First of all, is like, "I didn't even ever hear about this." You don't
- 32:22think if your babies were switched and then there was a big switched at
- 32:25birth story in that same town years later, you wouldn't be like, "Huh.
- 32:29Wonder what happened there."
- 32:30Kara: Or you wouldn't contact them and be like, "That also happened to me."
- 32:33Dani: Right.
- 32:34You wouldn't be tuned in at all?
- 32:35Kathryn asks how she knew, and she says, "Something just felt off." It's crazy.
- 32:40Can you believe I had this other baby and I didn't even, like, fully know?
- 32:44Isn't that wild?
- 32:45We were holding her and we didn't even know she wasn't ours.
- 32:47Anyway, they were only switched for nine days, and then we never saw that other
- 32:51child again, 'cause she wasn't ours."
- 32:53Kara: Yeah.
- 32:54And she's like, "For nine days.
- 32:56Can you believe it?
- 32:56Nine whole days I wasn't with my baby.
- 32:59For nine days."
- 33:00Dani: And Kathryn is gobsmacked and crestfallen and-
- 33:04Kara: I know.
- 33:04Dani: Very hurt.
- 33:05Kara: Does she not realize what trial she's at?
- 33:08Dani: No, I don't- yeah, it just seems like this lady just walked in and was
- 33:11like, "Whatever, I'll talk about it." Doesn't know anything about the situation.
- 33:15Kara: Yeah.
- 33:16We don't see her testify, but we do see Angelo testifying
- 33:19about the whole situation.
- 33:20Dani: Yes.
- 33:21Kara: And Jack Jason is interpreting for Daphne at this trial.
- 33:25Dani: Who is that?
- 33:26Kara: He's Melody's interpreter.
- 33:28Dani: Yes.
- 33:29Kara: In real life, and he was also the ASL coach for Switched
- 33:32at Birth that I know of.
- 33:34Dani: At least from Season 2 on, Lizzy Weiss has said he
- 33:36was the sign language master.
- 33:38Kara: He plays the interpreter for Daphne in the trial.
- 33:41Jack Jason.
- 33:42Dani: I did not clock that.
- 33:43Kara: Yeah.
- 33:43Dani: Good catch.
- 33:44Right as Angelo's speaking, Regina walks in and comes and sits with Daphne.
- 33:48Something so frustrating about this is I guess maybe Daphne didn't need
- 33:52her there, but, like, Regina didn't wanna go to support her daughter?
- 33:57The girls are both there in the box every day.
- 33:59Kara: They were both switched!
- 34:00Her daughter was switched.
- 34:02Dani: She, she wouldn't wanna be there as moral support for them, but she slides
- 34:05in as moral support f- she slides in, sits next to Daphne to support Angelo.
- 34:10Kara: I'm confused.
- 34:11I don't know.
- 34:12Dani: Her priorities are so fucked up.
- 34:14Kara: Yeah, Angelo just basically shares the whole story from start to finish.
- 34:18Dani: He gives a very compelling testimony.
- 34:20Kara: The jury is in love with him.
- 34:22Dani: Angelo is a charmer, and he frames it so well.
- 34:25He's like, "I was a wounded man.
- 34:27I thought the love of my life had betrayed me.
- 34:30It ruined my whole life.
- 34:31Now I'm back trying to make amends, but I'll never get back those 17 years."
- 34:36Kara: Yeah.
- 34:36Dani: And he's right, and he says, "I'm a stranger to Bay and Daphne now, and
- 34:40I'm a stranger to Regina functionally." I do wonder, I feel like he should
- 34:44be a little bit more careful, or, like, why… I- if I were the other
- 34:48lawyer, I would bring up the fact that he and Regina just got married.
- 34:51Kara: Yeah.
- 34:51Again- I'm confused.
- 34:52Can I call Immigration?
- 34:54Dani: Yeah.
- 34:55But anyway, yeah, it seems like it's going really well.
- 34:58Kara: It's going well for him, and John and Kathryn look at
- 35:00each other like, "Hmm, okay."
- 35:02Dani: Hmm.
- 35:02Kara: "This took a turn."
- 35:02Dani: And then after Angelo's done, the court is like, "Okay, we're gonna
- 35:08adjourn for the day, but we'd like to add one more witness to our list.
- 35:11The opposition-
- 35:13Kara: Mm-hmm.
- 35:13Dani: The hospital would like to call Kathryn to testify."
- 35:17Kara: And Kathryn's like, "Moi?"
- 35:19Dani: Yeah.
- 35:20I- my theory about this is they're gonna try to rip her apart and be
- 35:23like, "How, how did you not know? Isn't that crazy? 'Cause Regina knew."
- 35:26Kara: The point is, guys, you switched them at birth in the first place.
- 35:29Dani: Yeah.
- 35:30Babies all kind of fucking look the same.
- 35:32Kara: And it's-
- 35:33Dani: Unless you were Kara, and then you're, you look exactly like yourself.
- 35:36It's crazy.
- 35:37Kara: I know.
- 35:37I do.
- 35:39Dani: It's so cute.
- 35:40Kara: But Kathryn's gonna testify on Monday, 'cause it's Friday
- 35:43afternoon and they're done.
- 35:45So we'll see what happens with that.
- 35:47Dani: Yeah, that'll be next episode.
- 35:48Kara: Which is the finale.
- 35:49Dani: Which is the finale, and it's important for us to note, guys,
- 35:53that after we finish this season, we're going on break for the summer.
- 35:57Kara: We are.
- 35:58Dani: So we will see you back in the fall, but after the next
- 36:01episode we're going on summer break.
- 36:04Kara: But we'll be active on email and social media and whatever.
- 36:06Dani: Yeah.
- 36:06We'll still be around promoting the whole first season of Dished at Birth.
- 36:11Daphne goes straight from court, it seems, in her court clothes-
- 36:16Kara: Yes.
- 36:16Dani: To seduce Chef Jeff.
- 36:18She shows up at his house.
- 36:20Kara: He opens the door, and she goes, "I know you wanna be smart, but I don't
- 36:24want us to miss out on something good just because the two of us were scared."
- 36:28And then this works.
- 36:30He goes, "Come on in."
- 36:31Dani: Come on in, and they kiss.
- 36:33Daphne is wearing, I think, one of the first ever colors I've seen her
- 36:37in that she looks really good in.
- 36:38She's wearing, like, an orangy yellow cardigan, which is not sexy, but
- 36:44just the color makes her hair really pop so she looks really pretty.
- 36:47And then, like, a random floral dress, but it's, like, kind of short.
- 36:50Honestly, I feel like she's dressed less conservative for court than she is for
- 36:55just, like, a random Tuesday at school.
- 36:57So that's confusing.
- 36:58Like, it's an above-the-knee dress, but she looks nice enough in it.
- 37:03They have been exclusively putting Chef Jeff in dark gray
- 37:07or maroon slight V-neck T-shirts.
- 37:10I think they genuinely just have two different shirts for him, and that's it.
- 37:13Kara: Probably.
- 37:14Dani: And then his, like, chef outfit, his little chef costume.
- 37:18Kara: Do you think they had sex?
- 37:19Dani: Yes.
- 37:20I think that that's… I mean, so they kiss, and then she shuts the door.
- 37:24Kara: Yeah, the front door closes, and it's implied that.
- 37:26Dani: Something's going down.
- 37:27Kara: Something hap-
- 37:28Dani: I don't really wanna think about it too much, if I'm being honest.
- 37:31And hopefully we don't have to dwell on it in the next episode,
- 37:33but I have a feeling we will.
- 37:36Kara: At Buckner, Bay returns the money to Simone, 'cause I think what
- 37:40happens is Kathryn is going to pay and then Bay's just gonna work it off.
- 37:45So she returns the money to Simone, and they have, like, this weird exchange
- 37:48where Simone is trying to figure out why she needed the money in the
- 37:52first place, and she's like, "Come on, just talk to me. Just tell me."
- 37:55Dani: "Yeah, I'm not gonna judge you." It's like maybe she just
- 37:57doesn't wanna fucking talk to you-
- 37:59Kara: But then-
- 38:00Dani: 'cause you suck.
- 38:00Kara: But then Bay does say, like, "No, I made a mistake, and now my
- 38:04parents are really mad at me, and I have to beg for forgiveness, so I guess
- 38:07now I understand what that's like."
- 38:09Dani: Their situations are not similar enough-
- 38:11Kara: No.
- 38:11Dani: For her to be drawing comparisons, but whatever.
- 38:15Bay goes home, and her parents are waiting to ambush her in the kitchen.
- 38:20John tries to be like, "Anything you wanna tell me?" And Bay's like, "Well,
- 38:24I'm guessing Mom already told you."
- 38:25Kara: This scared the shit out of me.
- 38:26Dani: This… I know.
- 38:27I was sweating for her.
- 38:29Kara: I know.
- 38:29Dani: This would've been a great chance, Bay, for you to explain what
- 38:33happened to your dad in your own words from your own perspective,
- 38:37instead of just being like, "Well, Mom already told you that I messed up."
- 38:39Like, he is trying to give you a chance to be, like, an adult about it.
- 38:43Kara: And instead she is not.
- 38:45Dani: No.
- 38:46And they yell at her, and she tries to be like, "Well, you were nicer to Toby when
- 38:52he was in thousands of dollars of gambling debt, and that's probably 'cause he's your
- 38:55flesh and blood son, but with me…" And they're like, "No, no, don't pull that."
- 38:59And I think they're right.
- 39:01It is different for Toby to be like, "I have a gambling addiction,
- 39:04and I'm gonna be…" Like, he was never stealing money from them.
- 39:07He was-
- 39:07Kara: He stole the test.
- 39:08Dani: He stole the test, and that was not good, but that wasn't from his parents.
- 39:12Kara: Yeah.
- 39:12Dani: So it feels a little bit different.
- 39:14And he was in the debt, but, and he, but he would ask his parents
- 39:19for the money to bail him out.
- 39:20And again, that was a de- like, a gambling addiction that he was suffering from.
- 39:25Kara: Yes.
- 39:25Dani: Not the same as, like… It'd be more like if he stole that test
- 39:29to cover Wilke's gambling addiction.
- 39:31Kara: Right.
- 39:31Dani: And then his parents would be like, "Why would you be helping this person who
- 39:34is not a good friend influence on you?"
- 39:36Kara: That makes sense.
- 39:37Dani: Like, the betrayal is twofold.
- 39:38It's that she stole from them, and also that she's hanging out with this person
- 39:42that they don't like, that they've advised her against hanging out with.
- 39:46Kara: Right.
- 39:46Dani: Who's the person who got her into this mess to begin with.
- 39:49So Bay is completely in the wrong, and she's kinda being a brat about it.
- 39:52She's really being like- Well, I'm going through trauma, and they're like,
- 39:56"We've all been going through trauma," and like, you were like this before.
- 39:59Kara: Yeah.
- 39:59It's enough.
- 40:00Enough is enough.
- 40:01Dani: And then she kind of storms out?
- 40:03Kara: Yeah.
- 40:03She's just like, "Screw you, Mom and Dad," and then she storms
- 40:06out, and where does she go?
- 40:08Dani: She… I don't know how they weren't like, "We're taking your car
- 40:11keys," but they don't, and so she-
- 40:13Kara: Great point.
- 40:14Dani: Yeah.
- 40:14So she drives over to Zarra's abandoned trailer lot and says,
- 40:21"Can I crash with you for a while?" Bay, I… It's very reasonable
- 40:26that her parents are freaked out.
- 40:28Also, let's not forget, an episode and a half ago, you revealed to them that
- 40:32you've been doing illegal street art.
- 40:33Kara: Yes.
- 40:34Dani: For years.
- 40:35So, like, maybe just take the L. Maybe just say, "You know what? I fucked
- 40:39up. Let me work at the car wash a couple months, keep a low profile."
- 40:43Kara: I know.
- 40:44That's what Daphne did.
- 40:45Dani: Yeah.
- 40:45Kara: When she lied about the hearing aids.
- 40:47Dani: So true.
- 40:48Kara: I was like, "All right."
- 40:49Dani: The episode ends with Bay showing up.
- 40:51Kara: And Zarra says, "Yeah, come in," and the camera pans out on
- 40:54this abandoned trailer park lot.
- 40:57Dani: I think so much shit is gonna hit the fan in the finale.
- 41:00Kara: I'm excited, though.
- 41:01Dani: Me too.
- 41:03Kara: Wow.
- 41:03Can you believe we've done.
- 41:05Dani: 30 episodes.
- 41:06It'll be 30 next week.
- 41:07Kara: It will be 30 episodes of just one season, guys.
- 41:11Dani: Just one.
- 41:11TV used to be different.
- 41:13Kara: I think I like having 10 episodes a season.
- 41:16Dani: No, that's insane.
- 41:18Kara: It depends on the show.
- 41:19Dani: All right.
- 41:20See you guys next week.
- 41:22Kara: See you next week.
- 41:22Bye.
- 41:23Dani: Bye.
