Switched at Birth – The Tempest – 1×12 Recap
After watching this episode I’ve decided how much I dislike Melody. She still doesn’t like Bay and it seems that Emmet wanting to start speech therapy is a big reason why. She blames Bay when she learns he fails a test at school and doesn’t make any effort to pretend to like her. Emmet wants everyone to get along so he arranges a board game and dinner night with his mom and Regina.
Bay brings her blossoming sign language skills and some artichoke dip to the party but it’s not good enough. When Bay accidentally uses the wrong sign during the game, Melody makes fun of her and Bay and Regina decide to leave. “She’s a total bitch.” LOL. I basically guffawed when she said that. Emmett lays the smackdown on his mom and tells her that Bay isn’t going anywhere so she needs to suck it up and treat her better.
Daphne is feeling lonely now that she has to share Regina with Bay and now that she lost Emmett to her as well. She befriends Bay’s ex-bff Simone and gets a fake ID to hang out with her in a bar. Bay tries to warn her about Simone but it pretty much goes in one ear and out the other. Daphne is also struggling with trying to please her dad and playing for a losing basketball team. She gets an offer from Buckner to play for an amazing team and after much arguments, she leaves the team her dad coaches. She’s not making many friends this episode..except for the guy she makes out with at the bar when she tells Wilke the two of them are never gonna happen. She should get that to be honest.
I’m kind of curious if Katherine will give any money her book will make to Regina for her salon or how Simone’s reckless behavior will get Daphne into trouble.
