Switched At Birth "The Shock of Being Seen"

In this week's episode of Switched at Birth, Bay stirs up trouble, Daphne's in love (and is up for a triangle soon), John and Angelo struggles with their new parenting setup, Regina wins the best mom award (well, not really!), and Kathryn gets drunk.

Last time, Bay aka Angry Girl, met a new friend. Remember that girl from the junk yard? You know the one who answered her piece with an octopus graffiti? Yes, her. Well, Bay sees her (Zarra) and her gang working on their new piece and she introduces herself as Bay Vasquez. She asks if she can join their group but the guys aren't convinced. Zarra gets her number and says she'd find out soon if she can be in their circle. Ahhh... Kids and their shenanigans.




Meanwhile, Daphne accidentally drops a perfect batch of cupcakes to be sent the next day to a bridal shower. Chef Jeff (Haha! Still gets me crackin til now.), walks in on a mortified Daphne and sees the ruined cupcakes. Daphne finds out that of all the things Jeff is good at, it's not making cupcakes--which is coincidentally, Daphne's forte. Jeff and Daphne pulls an overnighter to fix the cupcakes and finally gets in the chef's good side.


So last episode, we found out that Angelo Sorrento (Bay's bio dad) will be moving into the Kennishes, to Bay's favor. Since we all know how very much well-off the Kennishes are, Angelo has finally access to an awesome gym. John walks in and sees Angelo (to his disappointment) using his treadmill while watching Discovery's Shark Week. So yea, he ends up not using the gym and asks Angelo if he can clean up once he's done.





Now back in the kitchen, Daphne and Jeff talks about Daphne's being vegetarian, having a quick debate on why you should or should not be a vegetarian, and Jeff's MIT past and his love for cooking. He says being one is worse than the "deaf thing". If you may have seen the past few episodes, Jeff isn't happy with vegetarians in his kitchen. The night ended with them becoming friends, good talks and drinking coffee with animal fat, though I'm not sure how in the world that could sound appetizing.

Sam Page is back as Craig Tebbe aka the hot lawyer for the Kennishes. They're talking about the lawsuit, when suddenly John gets a call, leaving Kathryn and Craig alone. Yea, after that kiss, everything now seemed awkward between them two. Ugh! Thank gawd John comes back to tell K of his phone call! That was the school calling them to let them know how bad Bay's standing is at Buckner and that she's now under academic probation, causing J and K to put her under "Kennish house arrest". In comes Angelo and Bay includes him in the discussion. Angelo offers to teach her French (due to his French-Italian ancestry) and Bay willingly accepts rubbing it on John saying, "after all, what are dads for, right?" (you got burned, J!).


Now, as I have told you earlier, Regina suddenly earns the "Best Mom in the World" medal to boot, with the release of K's book on how their kids got switched at birth. Regina turns into a hero when she, as stated in the book, already had suspicions when Daphne was a baby, but shuts it down and thinks otherwise. And even with her suspicions, she still raised Daphne as her own, becoming a single mom, upon her separation with Angelo Sorrento. The interview, however, had gone sour for Kathryn. Unfortunately, her book made her look like a bad mom for not noticing anything when she was still a baby, and that she seemed like a stuck-up rich mom who knows nothing about her kid. Regina, felt really bad about the interview so she invited Kathryn on her night out with Melody.


Back at the casa de Kennish, Bay watches a French movie (instead of studying for the French Revolution) with Angelo, causing John some concerns. Bay then invites J into watching it with them, but John refuses and snarkily replies that he'd rather take advantage of the empty gym in his home.

So back at the resto, Regina surprises Daphne by bringing Kathryn with her on her supposed to be dinner-for-two with Melody. Daphne introduces her moms and Melody to Jeff. Melody starts flirting with Jeff at Maize, when he tries to serve them. Kathryn, on the other hand, is getting it on with the booze, still not over the interview with Marcie Grace earlier that morning.


Bay's still stuck at home with her French paper when she gets a text from Zarra to meet her. Still on Kennish house arrest so, she convinces Angelo to be her new alibi (formerly Toby's job), so she can go out and meet Zarra. They make this excuse to John that they'll go to a French cafe and make him believe that this whole immersion thing will totally help her out. John finally says yes, giving a 1030pm curfew. Bay finally shows up and finds out that it wasn't a group thing. She was told that Bay still needs to prove herself by making herself noticed by the other artists before they accept her in the group. Zarra says that if she gets noticed and they liked her work, they'll let her know soon if she's in.




After dinner, Regina drives Kathryn home, being boozed up and all. She was pretty much surprised on how very high-tech K's car is. Kathryn, still hung up on the interview, makes a reference on the culture shock and their fancy lifestyle. Apparently, Kathryn's been fed up on her being Mrs. John Kennish and wants to make a name for herself, thus making the book. However, the book made her appear like a spoiled brat--er mom instead. Regina then brings Kathryn to a hospital nursery to show how they could have not known in the first place about the switch that happened in the hospital years ago.

Angelo comes clean about her using him and French homework as an alibi to get out of the house. John teaches him about Parenting 101. He lectured him that it's not the friendship that Angelo's suppose to run after, but his kid's protection. Angelo asks what to do. John answers that, as parents, they just sit, worry and wait.




An almost sober Kathryn and Regina looks at newborns in the hospital where they gave birth. Regina comforts Kathryn and tells her that it was neither's fault that the kids got switched. On their way out, they met a nurse at the hospital, which Kathryn soon realizes that it was Angelo's contact, who turns out to be his ex. Kathryn calls her lawyer to inform him of this.


Daphne stayed in the kitchen after work for an overtime with Jeff and thanks him for being sweet to her moms. Jeff thinks that they were a gay couple. Daphne refuses to explain about her switched at birth story and offers to tell him some other time. Jeff assigns Daphne to kitchen duty--not dishwashing. Daphne got so excited that she hugged Jeff. Daphne's heart got broken when Jeff leaves, wine in tow, and leaves for the day to (gasp!) spend the night with Melody. I guess that's the end of her blabbing about the end of her dating! Emmett then sees him in the morning doing the "walk of shame". He doesn't know (yet!) that it was THE guy Daphne's confided to him that she's been crushing on.



Sunday morning at the Kennishes, when John receives a call about someone trashing his carwash by painting a graffiti on its wall. Bay comes with and offers to help clean up, not telling John it was her who did it. The episode ends with Bay covering up the artwork she made on her dad's carwash.
