‫PREVIOUSLY ON ‫ "SWITCHED AT BIRTH"...

‫IF MY MOM WAS DRINKING, ‫I'D KNOW ABOUT IT.

‫MOM!

‫- I'M NOT READY ‫ TO SIGN MY RIGHTS AWAY. ‫- I CAN'T RAISE THIS KID.

‫THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED ‫TO SHUT DOWN CARLTON ‫FOR GOOD.

‫I CANNOT LOSE ‫THAT SECOND CHANCE.

‫IN MY HEART, ‫I KNOW I'M THE ONE ‫WHO SHOULD RAISE HER.

‫EVERYBODY, GOOD LUCK. ‫GOOD LUCK.

‫- ( alarm blaring ) ‫ - CALMLY.

‫- THE COPS ARE HERE. ‫- ( police radio chatter )

‫HOW LONG IS THIS ‫GOING TO GO ON?

‫I DON'T KNOW, ‫BUT I DON'T LIKE ALL ‫THOSE POLICE CARS HERE.

‫- YEAH, DID YOU SEE... ‫- SIR, WE WILL HANDLE THIS.

‫- WE'LL WAIT ALL NIGHT. ‫- OH, LOOK.

‫( camera clicking )

‫WE WILL END ‫OUR OCCUPATION ‫OF CARLTON

‫WHEN THE FOLLOWING ‫DEMANDS ARE MET:

‫THE CARLTON CAMPUS ‫WILL REMAIN OPEN

‫AND THE STUDENT BODY ‫WILL BE COMPRISED

‫OF DEAF STUDENTS ONLY.

‫AND THERE WILL BE ‫NO RECRIMINATIONS

‫FOR ANY OF THE STUDENTS ‫INVOLVED IN THE OCCUPATION.

‫YOU ARE IN NO POSITION ‫TO BE MAKING DEMANDS.

‫THE ONLY QUESTION RIGHT NOW

‫IS WILL YOU BE REMOVED ‫BY FORCE

‫OR WILL YOU COME OUT ‫VOLUNTARILY?

‫I REALLY DO APPRECIATE ‫YOU TAKING A STAND.

‫( pounding on door )

‫UH, THEY'RE BANGING ‫ON THE DOOR.

‫( police radio chatter )

‫- ( gasps ) ‫- OH!

‫WHAT WILL YOU DO NEXT? ‫WAS ANYBODY HURT IN THERE?

‫- UM, YOU KNOW ‫ HE'S DEAF, RIGHT? ‫- All: BAY!

‫BUT YOU'RE NOT. ‫IF YOU CAN HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING ‫WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THERE?

‫SAME THING AS ‫EVERYONE ELSE IN THERE--

‫PROTESTING THE CLOSING ‫OF THE BEST SCHOOL THAT ‫I'VE EVER BEEN TO.

‫- CAN I QUOTE YOU ON THAT? ‫- SURE. BAY KENNISH.

‫OW! ‫MY UNDERARM.

‫OKAY, I JUST DON'T ‫UNDERSTAND--

‫WHY'D YOU HAVE TO RUIN THE PLAY?

‫EVERYONE WORKED SO HARD!

‫DID YOU TWO REALLY THINK ‫THAT YOU COULD CHANGE

‫THE SCHOOL BOARD'S MIND ‫WITH THAT PROLONGED ‫TEMPER TANTRUM?

‫HAVE YOU PEOPLE NEVER HEARD ‫OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE?

‫MARTIN LUTHER KING? ‫THIS IS HOW CHANGE HAPPENS.

‫I'VE GOT THIS.

‫ALL RIGHT, ‫LET'S JUST ALL GET SOME REST. ‫WE'LL TALK IN THE MORNING.

‫- ( phone vibrates ) ‫- ( Kathryn sighs )

‫HEY! DID YOU ‫TALK TO THE PRESS?

‫YEAH. ‫WHY, AM I QUOTED?

‫WE DIDN'T ‫TAKE OVER THE SCHOOL

‫SO A HEARING PERSON ‫COULD SPEAK FOR US.

‫NO, YOU TOOK IT OVER

‫SO YOU COULD MAKE SURE ‫THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME

‫NEVER GO THERE AGAIN.

‫- HEYO. ‫- HI.

‫AHEM...

‫SO I HAVE SOME ‫KILLER NEWS.

‫- OH YEAH? ‫- UM, A FEW MONTHS AGO

‫THIS REALLY INSPIRING GUY ‫CAME TO TALK TO OUR YOUTH GROUP.

‫HE STARTED ‫HIS OWN NONPROFIT

‫THAT HELPS ‫COMMUNITIES IN PERU GET ‫ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER?

‫- YEAH, I'VE HEARD ‫ OF STUFF LIKE THAT. ‫- YEAH.

‫SO I APPLIED FOR THIS...

‫SCHOLARSHIP THING

‫AND I GOT IT!

‫- THAT'S AMAZING! ‫- YEAH.

‫I'M GONNA BE TEACHING KIDS

‫- MUSIC AND ENGLISH. ‫- OH.

‫MAN, I'D LOVE TO TEACH ‫MUSIC TO KIDS.

‫WELL, I MEAN, ‫I WOULD LOVE ‫FOR YOU TO COME,

‫BUT TECHNICALLY

‫IT IS A MISSIONS TRIP,

‫SO WE'RE GONNA BE ‫HELPING PEOPLE OUT, BUT ALSO

‫- WITNESSING TO THEM. ‫- THAT'S COOL.

‫I'LL HANG BACK HERE.

‫SO IS THIS LIKE

‫AN OVER-THE-SUMMER ‫KIND OF THING?

‫- OR? ‫- THE END OF SUMMER.

‫FOR SIX MONTHS.

‫AS IN 180 DAYS?

‫183.

‫I COUNTED.

‫THIS COULD BE ‫AN INCREDIBLE

‫AND HUMBLING EXPERIENCE

‫- AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE-- ‫- OF COURSE

‫I WANT YOU TO GO. ‫THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

‫- IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW-- ‫- I KNOW.

‫WE JUST GOT BACK TOGETHER.

‫I AM GONNA HATE ‫BEING AWAY FROM YOU, TOO.

‫BUT IN THE CONTEXT ‫OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES,

‫SIX MONTHS REALLY ‫ISN'T THAT LONG.

‫THE REST OF OUR LIVES?

‫THAT SOUNDS LIKE ‫THOUSANDS OF DAYS.

‫YEARS EVEN.

‫HMM.

‫- YOU HEADING OUT? ‫- OH YEAH.

‫EARLY BIRD GETS ‫THE STATE SENATE SEAT,

‫DESPITE HIS PATHETIC ‫POLLING NUMBERS.

‫- A LOT CAN CHANGE ‫ IN THREE DAYS. ‫- ( coffee pouring )

‫OH YEAH, ‫ WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

‫THERE'S A LOT OF KENNISH ‫IN THE NEWS TODAY

‫AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY ‫CAMPAIGN-RELATED.

‫LOOK AT THIS.

‫PATRICIA SAWYER'S GOING ‫TO HAVE A FIELD DAY ‫WITH THAT.

‫OH HEY! ‫YOU GUYS WANT SOME LUNCH? ‫I JUST MADE SOME TUNA SALAD.

‫YEAH, SURE, ‫SOUNDS GREAT.

‫WE'RE ENGAGED.

‫TO BE MARRIED.

‫I GOT THAT. ‫AHEM.

‫THAT'S...

‫JUST...

‫WONDERFUL NEWS.

‫- ( giggles ) ‫- John: HUH...

‫YEAH.

‫I'M NOT EXPELLED.

‫- OH, THAT'S FANTASTIC! ‫- THERE'S A BIG ASSEMBLY ‫ TOMORROW

‫AND WE'RE ALL EXPECTED ‫TO BE THERE.

‫WELL, I BROKE OUT ‫THE WAFFLE MAKER.

‫I THOUGHT WE COULD ‫HAVE BREAKFAST.

‫I'M NOT HUNGRY.

‫( stomps )

‫WE STILL NEED TO TALK

‫ABOUT THAT TEXT YOU SENT ‫WHILE YOU WERE IN THERE.

‫I NEED TO CONTACT ‫EMMETT AND EVERYONE ‫AND SEE WHAT THIS MEANS.

‫I UNDERSTAND THAT, ‫BUT WE STILL NEED TO TALK.

‫( sighs )

‫YOU WERE PASSED OUT.

‫AFTER A LONG DAY ‫OF JOB-HUNTING.

‫I THINK ‫I'VE EARNED THE RIGHT ‫TO FALL ASLEEP

‫IN FRONT OF THE TV ‫WITHOUT BEING CALLED ‫A DRUNK.

‫- YOU SMELLED LIKE ALCOHOL. ‫- I KNOW BAY IS ALL WOUND UP

‫BECAUSE I AM DATING ‫A MUSICIAN, SO I AM NOT SURE ‫WHAT SHE HAS TOLD YOU,

‫BUT I'M FINE.

‫I AM NOT DRINKING.

‫YOU PROMISE?

‫PROMISE.

‫OKAY. ‫I'M SORRY.

‫LET ME KNOW ‫WHAT THEY TELL YOU.

‫THAT'S JUST INSANE.

‫WASN'T HE JUST ‫IN THE HOT TUB WITH ‫PATRICIA SAWYER'S DAUGHTER?

‫YEAH, WHICH APPARENTLY ‫DROVE HIM RIGHT BACK ‫INTO THE ARMS OF NIKKI.

‫THEY'RE BOTH 18, ‫SO THERE'S LEGALLY NOTHING ‫WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

‫- I KNOW. I KNOW. ‫- THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ‫ APARTMENTS, HONEY, AND JOBS.

‫- AND THIS IS SO UNLIKE HIM. ‫- THIS OBVIOUSLY IS NOT ‫ JUST GONNA GO AWAY.

‫I DON'T KNOW WHERE ‫THIS IS COMING FROM.

‫WELL, SINCE YOU TOOK HIM ‫TO THAT CHURCH AND HE ‫MET NIKKI--

‫- OH, SO IT'S MY FAULT? ‫- NO, I'M JUST SAYING

‫NOT SLEEPING WITH SOMEONE ‫TILL YOU'RE MARRIED IS ONE WAY ‫TO FIND YOURSELF ENGAGED.

‫I DON'T THINK ‫THIS IS ABOUT SEX.

‫WELL, NOT JUST ABOUT SEX.

‫WHY COULDN'T HE JUST ‫OCCUPY HIS HIGH SCHOOL LIKE ‫EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE FAMILY?

‫- WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. ‫- I KNOW.

‫I KNOW.

‫Bay: ‫SHE JUST, LIKE, ‫JUMPED DOWN MY THROAT,

‫SAYING NO ONE ‫ASKED ME TO SPEAK FOR ‫THE DEAF COMMUNITY.

‫ALL I DID WAS ANSWER ‫A QUESTION.

‫IT'S LIKE SHE'S GONE ‫FROM STUDENT-BODY LEADER

‫TO KIM JONG-DAPHNE.

‫WHAT?

‫DEAF PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE

‫HEARING PEOPLE ‫SPEAKING FOR THEM.

‫I WASN'T TRYING ‫TO SPEAK FOR ANYBODY.

‫I WAS JUST ANSWERING ‫A QUESTION.

‫ALL I'M SAYING ‫IS THAT I SEE WHY ‫DAPHNE WAS UPSET.

‫WE'RE AWARE ‫THAT YOU WERE THE LEADER, ‫THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE.

‫BUT AS RECKLESS ‫AS YOUR ACTIONS WERE,

‫YOUR PROTEST HAS FORCED ‫THE SCHOOL BOARD

‫TO RECONSIDER ‫CLOSING CARLTON.

‫( sighs ) YES.

‫OH! ‫( laughs )

‫BUT THERE WILL BE ‫SOME CHANGES.

‫THE STUDENT BODY ‫WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE

‫MORE HEARING STUDENTS

‫AND WE AGREED TO 50%.

‫THE SCHOOL IS NOT ‫FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE ‫OTHERWISE.

‫NO.

‫THE STUDENTS ARE GOING ‫TO BE LOOKING UP TO YOU ‫FOR YOUR OPINION.

‫CAN WE COUNT ON YOU ‫FOR YOUR SUPPORT?

‫YOU DON'T BLAME ME, ‫DO YOU?

‫NO, I MEAN ‫TALKING TO THAT REPORTER. ‫WAS THAT WRONG?

‫THANK YOU! EVEN NOAH ‫TOOK DAPHNE'S SIDE.

‫YEAH. ‫WHY, DOESN'T IT ‫SURPRISE YOU?

‫NO. ‫HEY, TELL ME.

‫SEE WHAT?

‫YEAH, FOR THE PLAY.

‫YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHERE ‫THEY PLAY STAR-CROSSED LOVERS.

‫WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE

‫THAT YOU ARE ‫SO JEALOUS OF NOAH

‫THAT YOU WOULD ‫STOOP TO THIS.

‫NO. WHAT?

‫( jazz music playing )

‫- HEY! ‫- HI.

‫SAW YOU WERE PLAYING, ‫THOUGHT I'D STOP BY.

‫CLUB SODA, PLEASE. ‫THANKS.

‫YOU ARE A BUSY MAN. ‫DID YOU GET MY TEXTS?

‫I'M SORRY. ‫IT SOUNDED LIKE ‫YOU HAD YOUR HANDS FULL

‫WITH THAT WHOLE SCHOOL STUFF. ‫SO HOW'D IT TURN OUT?

‫THEY'RE KEEPING ‫THE SCHOOL OPEN... ‫WITH A FEW CONDITIONS.

‫- CONGRATULATIONS. ‫- I'LL PASS THAT ALONG ‫ TO THE GIRLS.

‫OR YOU CAN, ‫THE NEXT TIME ‫YOU SEE THEM.

‫AH. WHICH WON'T BE ‫FOR A FEW MONTHS...

‫ACTUALLY.

‫- WE GOT THE TOUR. ‫- ( gasps ) THAT IS GREAT.

‫OH.

‫YOU KNOW, I DO MAKE ‫A PRETTY GOOD GROUPIE.

‫MAYBE I COULD MEET YOU ‫FOR A FEW DAYS.

‫IT'D BE SO GOOD ‫TO GET OUT OF TOWN.

‫I WOULD LOVE THAT, ‫BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA ‫HAVE MUCH DOWNTIME.

‫EITHER WE'RE GONNA ‫BE DRIVING, SLEEPING ‫OR PLAYING.

‫AND I'M GUESSING YOU'RE ‫GOING TO BE PRETTY BUSY

‫BETWEEN NOW ‫ AND WHEN YOU LEAVE.

‫YEAH, BETWEEN REHEARSAL

‫- AND GETTING PLANS TOGETHER. ‫ - LOOK,

‫I KNOW I HAD A LITTLE BIT ‫TOO MUCH THE OTHER NIGHT,

‫- BUT IT'S BEEN AWHILE ‫ AND I'M JUST TRYING TO-- ‫- LOOK, REGINA, IT'S COOL.

‫OKAY? ‫I'LL CALL YOU ‫WHEN I GET BACK.

‫ABSOLUTELY.

‫- Bay: THEY SHOULD HAVE ‫ PUT YOURS IN A TUB. ‫- THIS WAS A MEDIUM.

‫AT LEAST YOU DON'T HAVE ‫TO WORRY ABOUT FITTING

‫INTO YOUR "ROMEO AND JULIET" ‫COSTUME ANYMORE.

‫THAT'S TRUE. ‫I DO FEEL BAD ‫FOR YOUR MOM, THOUGH.

‫WELL, YOU TOO.

‫ARE YOU SORRY ‫IT'S OVER?

‫WELL, I'M NOT GONNA MISS ‫ALL THE REHEARSALS.

‫- ( clears throat ) ‫- NO MORE KISSING DAPHNE.

‫NOPE.

‫WHICH I'M SURE ‫SHE'S RELIEVED ABOUT.

‫IT WAS JUST ‫ACTING, RIGHT? ‫YOU AND DAPHNE?

‫I DON'T KNOW.

‫WAIT, WHAT?

‫WE HAD A CONNECTION.

‫I TRIED TO IGNORE IT ‫AND I THOUGHT THAT IT ‫WOULD GO AWAY.

‫- OH MY GOD. ‫- I'M SO SORRY.

‫I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ‫A WAY TO TELL YOU THIS.

‫I THINK YOU JUST DID.

‫( breathes deeply )

‫- HI. ‫- HI. CAN I TALK TO YOU ‫ FOR A SECOND?

‫SURE.

‫- I'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER. ‫- OKAY.

‫I KNOW THAT THIS ‫SEEMS CRAZY,

‫BUT WE REALLY DO ‫LOVE EACH OTHER.

‫BUT, NIKKI, YOU'RE ABOUT ‫TO GO OFF TO PERU AND HAVE ‫THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE--

‫AN EXPERIENCE THAT COULD ‫CHANGE YOUR LIFE--

‫AND I REALLY THINK ‫THAT YOU SHOULD TRUST

‫THAT IF YOU'RE MEANT TO BE, ‫YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY ‫BACK TO EACH OTHER.

‫BUT WE ALREADY DID.

‫NIKKI, TOBY IS ‫A LITTLE LOST RIGHT NOW.

‫FINDING OUT ABOUT THE SWITCH ‫IS SO RECENT FOR ALL OF US.

‫WE'RE STILL TRYING ‫TO FIGURE OUT HOW ‫WE ALL FIT IN TOGETHER.

‫I KNOW.

‫SO DON'T YOU THINK ‫IT'S EASY FOR HIM

‫TO WANT TO ATTACH HIMSELF ‫TO A FUTURE

‫WITH A STRONG ‫CONFIDENT GIRL LIKE YOU?

‫WELL, I DON'T THINK ‫THAT'S THE ONLY REASON.

‫HE IS NOT READY ‫FOR THIS KIND OF COMMITMENT.

‫JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

‫( knocking )

‫ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT! ‫I'M COMING.

‫- GINA. ‫- IN BED ALREADY?

‫YOU REALLY ARE GETTING ‫TO BE AN OLD MAN!

‫CAN I COME IN?

‫OF COURSE.

‫HAVE YOU BEEN ‫DRINKING?

‫NO.

‫MAYBE A LITTLE.

‫AND I STARTED ‫THINKING ABOUT YOU

‫AND WHAT AN IDIOT I WAS ‫TO WALK AWAY FROM YOU.

‫GINA, ‫LET ME DRIVE YOU HOME.

‫NO NO NO NO NO.

‫DAPHNE AND BAY

‫DO NOT UNDERSTAND ‫THE DIFFERENCE ‫BETWEEN A FEW DRINKS

‫AND BEING A DRUNK. ‫I CAN'T GO HOME.

‫YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME.

‫DAPHNE AND BAY KNOW ‫YOU'RE DRINKING?

‫I DON'T WANT TO TALK ‫ABOUT THAT.

‫I DON'T WANT TO TALK

‫AT ALL.

‫OKAY WELL, WHY DON'T YOU

‫SIT ON THE COUCH ‫WHILE I PUT ON SOME MUSIC?

‫SOUNDS GOOD.

‫SOMETHING ROMANTIC,

‫SO WE CAN DANCE. ‫OH.

‫OF COURSE.

‫YOU SHOULD LAY DOWN ‫AND REST

‫WHILE I FIND ‫THE RIGHT MUSIC.

‫THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

‫( sighs )

‫( door opens )

‫OH HEY. ‫DO YOU KNOW WHERE KATHRYN

‫PUT THAT CARAMEL SAUCE?

‫( bowl bangs )

‫HERE YOU GO.

‫ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT?

‫BUTTER, EGGS, ‫MY BOYFRIEND?

‫OH, THAT'S RIGHT. ‫YOU ALREADY TOOK THAT.

‫- BAY-- ‫- SO CONGRATULATIONS,

‫NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ‫IN A PLAY SO YOU TWO ‫CAN MAKE OUT.

‫- I DON'T KNOW WHAT ‫ YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. ‫- WE BROKE UP.

‫- I HAD NOTHING ‫ TO DO WITH THAT. ‫- OH, PLEASE.

‫ALL THAT TIME ‫"REHEARSING,"

‫BONDING OVER ‫HEARING AIDS ‫AND BASKETBALL.

‫DID WE BECOME FRIENDS? ‫YES.

‫BUT I DIDN'T TRY ‫TO STEAL YOUR BOYFRIEND. ‫I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

‫YOU NEVER WANTED ‫TO BE IN THE PLAY ‫IN THE FIRST PLACE,

‫AND SOMEHOW ‫YOU END UP WITH THE LEAD ‫OPPOSITE MY BOYFRIEND.

‫- KATHRYN MADE ME JULIET! ‫- AND THEN YOU THROW ‫ THAT ALL OVER

‫SO THAT YOU CAN ‫BE THE LEADER OF ‫THE DEAF REVOLUTION.

‫AND GOD FORBID THAT ‫I SHOULD EVEN ATTEMPT

‫- TO ANSWER ‫ A REPORTER'S QUESTION! ‫- GOD, ENOUGH!

‫DON'T YOU GET TIRED ‫OF SEEING YOURSELF AS ‫THE VICTIM ALL THE TIME?

‫I DIDN'T USED ‫TO FEEL LIKE THAT ‫UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP.

‫( door slams )

‫- ( knocks ) ‫ - YEAH?

‫JOHN? ‫THERE'S SOMEBODY ‫HERE TO SEE YOU.

‫OKAY, CAN YOU--

‫OH NO.

‫WHAT NOW?

‫I'LL MAKE IT QUICK. ‫I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW

‫THAT TOMORROW MORNING ‫MY OFFICE WILL RELEASE ‫A STATEMENT

‫ANNOUNCING MY WITHDRAWAL ‫FROM THE RACE.

‫WAIT A SECOND, ‫I DON'T UNDERSTAND--

‫THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION ‫WILL BE "A FAMILY MATTER."

‫IS EVERYONE OKAY? ‫IS THIS ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER?

‫- DON'T WORRY, YOUR SON ‫ ISN'T IN THE LINE OF FIRE. ‫- I WASN'T--

‫I'M-- I'M SORRY.

‫I APPRECIATE ‫YOUR CONCERN.

‫ELISA'S BIPOLAR. ‫( sighs )

‫WE'VE BEEN MANAGING IT,

‫BUT SHE'S GOING THROUGH ‫A REALLY ROUGH TIME AND...

‫- SHE NEEDS ME. ‫- YEAH, OF COURSE.

‫PATRICIA, I--

‫I UNDERSTAND ‫AND I KNOW HOW MUCH ‫THIS MEANT TO YOU.

‫ANYWAY,

‫YOU'RE GETTING OFF EASY ‫FOR ROUND ONE.

‫I'M SURE WE'LL SEE ‫EACH OTHER DOWN THE LINE.

‫WE WILL.

‫THANKS FOR KEEPING ‫MY SEAT WARM.

‫( chuckles )

‫( door opens )

‫( closes )

‫( exhales )

‫( crickets chirping )

‫- HI. ‫- HELLO... FIANCEE.

‫SO I FOUND THIS ‫REALLY SWEET ONE BEDROOM. ‫IT'S DOWNTOWN.

‫IT'S AFFORDABLY PRICED ‫AND THEY THROW IN ‫A FREE FLAT SCREEN.

‫DO YOU THINK THAT ‫WE'RE RUSHING THIS?

‫I DON'T WANT US TO BE ‫DOING THIS JUST BECAUSE ‫I'M GOING AWAY.

‫I THOUGHT WE WERE ‫DOING THIS 'CAUSE ‫WE LOVE EACH OTHER.

‫BUT WHAT IF, ‫WITHOUT EVEN MEANING TO,

‫I'M, LIKE,

‫THROWING YOUR LIFE ‫OFF COURSE?

‫ACTUALLY, YOU'RE ‫GIVING IT A COURSE.

‫THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

‫I DON'T WANT YOU ‫TO MARRY ME JUST BECAUSE ‫I GIVE YOU PURPOSE.

‫MAYBE YOU SHOULD ‫GO TO COLLEGE

‫AND FIND YOUR PATH.

‫THAT SOUNDS ‫ODDLY PARENTAL. ‫( chuckles )

‫YOUR MOM CAME ‫AND TALKED TO ME.

‫NIKKI, MY WHOLE LIFE, ‫I HAVE PRETTY MUCH DONE

‫WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD. ‫YOU KNOW, I'M NOT PERFECT,

‫BUT FOR THE MOST PART ‫I MAKE GOOD GRADES,

‫I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ‫CRAZY TO MY HAIR...

‫LATELY. ‫NEVER BEEN ARRESTED.

‫( chuckles )

‫AND EVER SINCE ‫THE WHOLE SWITCH THING,

‫MY PARENTS HAVE ‫RELIED ON ME,

‫MORE THAN EVER, ‫TO BE THAT GUY.

‫BUT YOU...

‫ARE SO BRAVE, ‫GOING AFTER WHAT YOU WANT

‫EVEN IF OTHER PEOPLE ‫DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

‫AND IT'S MADE ME WANT ‫TO DO THAT TOO.

‫AND WHAT I WANT...

‫IS YOU.

‫♪ I WANT TO LOVE ♪

‫♪ WITH NO FEAR. ♪

‫NOW WHAT?

‫( sighs ) ‫I'M NOT HERE ‫TO YELL AT YOU.

‫ANGELO HAS BEEN ‫TRYING TO REACH YOU.

‫HE WANTED ME TO TELL YOU ‫THAT REGINA'S OKAY.

‫WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

‫I GUESS SHE SPENT ‫THE NIGHT THERE.

‫AT ANGELO'S?

‫WHY?

‫I JUST ASSUMED ‫SHE WAS AT ZANE'S.

‫HE SAID THAT ‫SHE SHOWED UP LATE AND...

‫HAD HAD A FEW.

‫SHE TOLD ME THAT ‫SHE WAS DEALING WITH IT.

‫SHE PROBABLY BELIEVED IT ‫WHEN SHE SAID IT.

‫I GUESS ONE OF US ‫SHOULD GO GET HER.

‫MAYBE WE SHOULD BOTH GO.

‫- WHERE IS SHE? ‫- SHE'S SLEEPING.

‫- CAN WE SEE HER? ‫- NO NO,

‫I DON'T THINK SHE WANTS ‫TO SEE ANYBODY RIGHT NOW.

‫SHE NEEDS TO BE HOME. ‫I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF HER.

‫NO, YOU DON'T, ‫NEITHER OF YOU. ‫I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

‫- ANGELO-- ‫- I'LL MAKE SOME CALLS, ‫ FIGURE THINGS OUT.

‫AND WHEN SHE'S BETTER, ‫I'LL TAKE HER BACK HOME.

‫THEN WE CAN ALL COME UP ‫WITH A PLAN.

‫- OKAY. ‫- IF YOU WANT ‫ TO DO SOMETHING,

‫GET HER CAR BACK ‫FROM THE CLUB.

‫HER PURSE ‫IS IN THE KITCHEN.

‫IS THERE ANYTHING ‫I CAN DO?

‫ACTUALLY THERE ‫IS ONE THING...

‫FOR ME.

‫- OH. ‫- ( car approaches )

‫- SHOULD I HELP YOU? ‫- NOPE, I'M FINE.

‫GONNA BE FINE.

‫SO WHERE IS THIS ‫DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT?

‫SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLANS: ‫WE ARE MEETING MY DOCTOR ‫AT THE HOSPITAL.

‫ARE YOU HAVING THE BABY?

‫I'VE BEEN HAVING CONTRACTIONS ‫FOR THE PAST THREE HOURS--

‫10 MINUTES IN-BETWEEN, ‫SO IT'S NOT DIRE.

‫BAY, DON'T PANIC.

‫DON'T RUN ANY RED LIGHTS. ‫JUST GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

‫- OKAY? ‫- OKAY.

‫THIS DAY JUST ‫KEEPS ON COMING.

‫( moans softly )

‫MOM?

‫WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

‫AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED ‫TO BE IN PUERTO RICO?

‫ANGELO CALLED ME.

‫HE SAID ‫YOU WERE IN TROUBLE,

‫- I CAME HOME. ‫- ( sighs )

‫HE SHOULDN'T DONE THAT. ‫I'M FINE.

‫( snuffles )

‫WHERE IS HE?

‫HE WENT TO GET US ‫ SOME LUNCH.

‫( groans ) FOOD.

‫AND YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY ‫NOT FINE.

‫IT'S A HANGOVER, ‫I'LL SURVIVE.

‫YOU SHOULD GO BACK ‫TO PUERTO RICO.

‫OH.

‫I WISH YOU WOULD ‫HAVE TALKED TO ME.

‫WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

‫WAVED YOUR MAGIC WAND

‫- AND GIVEN ME MY LIFE BACK? ‫- NO.

‫YOU WENT THROUGH THIS ‫ONCE BEFORE ALONE.

‫YOU DON'T HAVE TO THIS TIME. ‫WE'RE ALL HERE FOR YOU.

‫GREAT, THAT'S ‫JUST WHAT I NEED, ‫AN AUDIENCE--

‫MY MOM, MY EX, MY DAUGHTERS ‫AND MY FLAWLESS CO-PARENTS.

‫WELCOME, EVERYBODY, ‫TO REGINA'S FAILURE THEATER!

‫( whispers ) ‫ MI AMOR.

‫NO ONE THINKS ‫YOU'RE A FAILURE.

‫( crying ) I DO.

‫ANGELO HAS ARRANGED ‫FOR YOU TO GO TO A CLINIC ‫IN MINNESOTA.

‫YOU'LL GET ALL ‫THE HELP YOU NEED,

‫AND WE'LL BE THERE ‫WHENEVER YOU WANT US.

‫- REHAB? ‫- YES.

‫UM, I'M GONNA GO ‫TAKE A SHOWER.

‫THANK YOU. ‫I'M GLAD YOU CALLED ME.

‫AND YOU AND DAD WERE ‫THE GREATEST PARENTS ‫IN THE WORLD,

‫BUT SOMETIMES...

‫IT HURTS

‫TO THINK ABOUT WHAT ‫YOU MISSED OUT ON.

‫YEAH.

‫AND I DON'T WANT YOU ‫TO JUDGE HER, BUT REGINA'S ‫DRINKING AGAIN.

‫- SHE'S GOING TO REHAB. ‫- WHAT?

‫- SHE IS? ‫- AND NOAH AND I BROKE UP.

‫IT HAS BEEN ‫AN AWFUL AWFUL WEEK.

‫YEAH.

‫WOW, I'M SORRY ‫TO HEAR ABOUT REGINA.

‫I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE ‫WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

‫AND I'M-- ‫I'M SORRY ABOUT NOAH,

‫WHATEVER HAPPENED.

‫( sniffles )

‫BUT I DO KNOW ‫SOMETHING REALLY AMAZING ‫HAPPENED TODAY.

‫- YOU GOT A BABY SISTER. ‫- ( chuckling softly )

‫YEAH.

‫WANNA GO MEET HER?

‫WILL YOU GO WITH ME?

‫YEAH.

‫( high-heeled footsteps )

‫- HI. ‫- WHERE'S LANA?

‫SHE TOOK THE BABY AND LEFT.

‫- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, LEFT? ‫- HOW COULD SHE JUST GO?

‫THE NURSE JUST TOLD ME ‫SHE CHECKED OUT.

‫SHE TOLD HER SHE HAD ‫A PLANE TO CATCH.

‫- SO THEY'RE JUST GONE? ‫- YEAH.

‫DID-- DID YOU SAY ‫ANYTHING TO HER?

‫- DID SHE SAY ‫ ANYTHING TO YOU? ‫- NO.
