Were you shocked at the shocking events that ended this week’s Switched at Birth?? I never thought Emmett would go there. He was just so angry at Bay for even emailing another guy. Do you think he’ll tell Bay the truth? When he does, do you think she should dump him? Maybe they could bring back her soldier. Here are the sneak peeks of next week’s new episode of Switched at Birth: The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.

Bay and Emmett’s relationship is once again thrown into the fires of the hell that is divorce. Bay is suddenly thrown into the middle of the custody battle between Emmett’s parents. Melody needs a statement from Bay about the unhealthy environment Emmett wants to live in. Bay has absolutely no idea what to do. Emmett makes her promise to stay out of it but something inside of her thinks Emmett is on a bad path.
Daphne is feeling the pressure big time when her team makes it to a big championship game. Everyone is counting on her and fans who look up to her for inspiring other deaf kids are traveling to see the game. The game is against Buckner and Simone is in town begging Daphne for forgiveness. Not happening. After Simone fouls Daphne (was it on purpose?) Carlton wins the game. There’s not much time for celebrating when an official from the school announces the program will probably still be cut for budget reasons. Womp womp womp.
Emmett has made it abundantly clear that he wants to stay with his dad because of the freedom. Is there a little too much of that in the house? Toby and Bay visit to check out Emmett’s motorcycle for a birthday present they’re planning and discover a ton of pot in the garage. They realize Olivia is selling drugs and alarm bells are already going off in Bay’s head. Even Emmett’s dad isn’t happy about it and offers to ask Olivia to move out when Bay mentions it to him.
Emmett’s dad finds him to tell him he’ll be giving full custody over to Melody to stop the fighting. He knows he can’t win in this situation and it’s what is best for Emmett. Emmett believes he just doesn’t want to be around him anymore and is PISSED when he finds out Bay is apart of it. So pissed in fact that he ends his night having sex with Simone in her hotel room. Like. WHAT?
Bay walks in on some heartbreaking news. Daphne and Regina are watching the news and see that a helicopter from Ty’s group crashed and the soldiers inside have been killed. No one knows if Ty is inside and the entire family is on edge waiting for news.
Throughout all of this, Emmett is pissed because he realizes Bay has kept in touch with Ty. Because exchanging emails is basically cheating and a legit reason to be jealous. Can she not have friends that are guys? What is his problem? I’m getting kind of over him lately. He’s so pissy about the whole thing that he drops out of his speech therapy class. What a wiener.
Fortunately, Ty is okay. He wasn’t in the crash. He even calls Bay to let her know. I missed the actor on this show. He’s off playing Lying Games. Bay gives in to her love for Emmett (even though he demands to read the emails she sends Ty) and tells Ty she’s seeing someone else. I didn’t realize he thought she was waiting for him. Part of me wants them to get back together now.
Daphne and Wilkie are also having some trouble. Wilkie has so far refused to learn or take sign language seriously. He’s more interested in making out. Daphne runs into a rude kid at Carlton who enjoys talking down to her for moving on to live a posh life with hearing people. When Daphne gets him fired from his job at the school, she feels guilty and hooks him up with one at John’s car wash. John fires him immediately for flipping off a customer. Daphne goes to visit him at his home and sees his family life pretty much sucks. No one in his family has bothered to learn sign language and basically don’t communicate with him. Will there be a love interest here in the future?
There’s just trouble in paradise all around. Are John and Kathryn next? Am I sensing something between Kathryn and the lawyer? Kathryn learns that Angelo got his information on the hospital from a reliable source. Who is the source?
The families receive some upsetting news on next week’s episode of Switched at Birth. Will it threaten Bay most of all? Here are some sneak peeks of the episode: Write A Lonely Soldier.
Video:
Emmett is starting to crumble a bit. He’s struggling with speech therapy and getting frustrated. His step mom’s advice is to give him a bottle of whiskey and relax. I never thought I’d like Melody until now. Emmett tells Bay he wants to quit school and get his GED because it’s not necessary to become a photographer. He then tells Daphne he wants to quit the Yearbook club also. Bay begins to worry about Emmett and forces herself to go to Melody for help. She doesn’t want to be a tattletale but she must really be worried if she’s willing to talk to Emmett’s mother of all people.
Daphne and Kathryn are both struggling with making the right decision. Daphne finds herself having to choose between her two schools. She learns the basketball team at her old school may be cut due to budget problems. Since the team is under-performing, it will be one of the first to go. Buckner on the other hand, is getting donations left and right and don’t seem to appreciate them. Daphne decides to go back to her old school to help save the team.
Kathryn worries when the nurse who was testifying for them announces she may back out. Being involved with the case has caused her to be fired and unable to get another job. Kathryn goes against her husband’s wishes and sells her car to give her some money. I can’t understand why he has any reason to be mad at her. It’s her car she can do what she wants.
Regina preps for her first art show at the gallery and is stunned to learn that the program has her listed as “that lady who had her daughter switched at birth.” She can’t be furious for too long because Emmett and both his parents are also in attendance and sparks are about to fly. They get into a heated argument when Emmett shows up smelling like alcohol and Melody wants to fight for full custody. Emmett realizes that Bay told Melody about his plans for school. Are Bay and Emmett going to break up?
