Switched at Birth - Street Noises Invade the House

This episode was the fall finale and, like I expected, this was a shocker! So much crazy stuff happened, especially in the last 5 minutes, that had me speechless. I think I sat there with my mouth hanging open for about 5 minutes after the episode. 
So let's start with Daphne. She and Jeff are still together but someone said something and now the owner of the restaurant is doing an investigation! So Daphne is all upset about the whole thing and doesn't know what to do to fix it. In a conversation with Emmett she comes up with the idea that she should quit her job so they could still be together but that doesn't help. What makes her think that them being co-workers is the problem? It's her age, but she doesn't understand that. She gets even more upset and then tell Regina which was stupid. Regina then tells Angelo and that's why he was punching Jeff. And that's crazy because he was never much of a father to Daphne and now he's all like "I am her father" and what not. I can't blame him for trying, I just want to know where all this is coming from. Well, Jeff broke up with her only after she said she loved him. Pretty insane and I can't help but wonder if no one found out about them would they still be together? And another question I have is why did they show her with birth control pills? It had to be important or they wouldn't have shown it and they didn't way anything about Daphne having sex or being pregnant in the rest of the episode so why did they show her with those pills? 
Now Bay is getting more and more out of control. She tried living with Zarra but that SMACK dude came looking for her so it didn't work out. Then she tried to run away to Mexico with Zarra to do street art with Zarra's father, but John tracks her phone and he and Emmett (crazy) go after her. While on the road she starts having second thoughts about this whole trip and, I think, her friendship with Zarra. John and Emmett eventually find her and they actually talk, like a real conversation and not a screaming match. When they're finished they come back to the car where Emmett and Zarra are supposed to be but Emmett is the only one there. It turns out that Zarra took off only after she took all of the money for a bus ticket to Mexico. I fell like she was bad news from the beginning. I fell like all she wanted was the money which sucks because I kind of liked her but know I think she's bad news. But here's the other shocking moment, Bay and Emmett have a little moment and almost kiss!! NUTS!! I wonder if they'll get back together or least be friends or something. 
Now on to the trial which really brought out some of the most shocking moments of this episode. Kathryn gives her testimony and it doesn't look good after that. She basically said that she wouldn't change the switch and that she's okay with it which contradicts what the trial is all about. But the jury rules in their favor but only awards them in the amount of $1. I thought that was pretty funny and I would have been pissed at them if they had a problem with that but luckily they didn't. I big news is that the also ruled in favor of Angelo (never knew he was suing them too) and award him with 5 MILLION dollars!! That is just a jaw dropper and it seemed like no one expected that to happen. I wonder if Angelo knew anything about this because he told Regina that things could be better for him and her after the trial. And now that they're married she has a right to all that money. They could get their own place and everything. But the real jaw dropper of them all is that some random pregnant woman comes into the court room after everyone but Bay and Daphne leave and ask where Angelo is, and then it just ends. Pretty big cliff hanger here. I mean, all I can think is who is she and who got her pregnant and that it better not be Angelo because he's going to have to pay child support and that 5 million is going to fade away. I really hope that her being pregnant has nothing to do with her looking for Angelo and I can't wait until January 7th to find out!!! Yes, you read that right, the new season isn't coming back until January. I know I have to wait but I'll be freaking out and trying to find sneak peaks until then. 
This is by far the best episode of this show ever. Biggest cliff hanger of my life!! Well, until January 7th!! :)

Switched at Birth - The Trail

In this episode Bay scrambles around to find the money she stole while Daphne is continuing her relationship with her boss, Angelo comes back, Toby is trying to get his band started and the hospital trial is starting. So Bay is trying to get all of the money back before John has to make the deposit to the bank which would not only cause her to get in trouble but Travis as well because he was the one that opened the safe for her. In a nerve racking scene Bay and Travis get the money back to the safe just moments before John comes in the office. But where she got the money from is kind of shocking. She got it from Simone!! We don't know if she told Simone the true story but we can assume. All may seem fine but Travis tells Daphne everything and then Bay threatens to tell John what Bay did. So Bay is forced to tell her mother who becomes furious with her. She promises not to tell John but ends up doing so and he is also furious. Neither of them know what to do with her and with the trial going on they can't even focus on her punishment. The most shocking thing with the storyline is when Bay leaves! She moves out/runs away to stay with Zarra. Now I was expecting her to leave her house but I wasn't expecting her to go to Zarra's; I thought she would at least try living with Regina first. But I guess she doesn't want to be anywhere near her parents right now. 
Now Daphne's relationship with Jeff is moving pretty fast. They seem to be falling in love. But Melody finds out about the whole thing and tries to talk Daphne out of it but, of course, she doesn't listen. Then Jeff gets worried that they might get caught and breaks it off but Daphne won't take that and goes to his house where we see them kiss and can assume that they "got it on." To that, all I can say is oh my gosh!
While all this is going on the hospital trial begins and Angelo returns. Regina isn't too happy about his return. It seems like she's still upset about breaking up with Patrick, but she still goes to see Angelo testify where he basically says that he loves her. After his testimony the trial seems to be going in a good direction but the testimony of the hospital nurse makes it seem like the Kennish's  are going to lose. But their lawyer comes to the rescue by finding out the hospital had another switch and uses one of the moms to testify. Things start looking good but now the hospital wants Kathryn to testify. No one knows why but I think they are going to bring up the fact that she never knew her daughter wasn't her daughter. I don't know how this would help the hospital but I could be wrong. 
Apart from the trial, Toby is starting his band with Nikki and Emmett. They sound really good together and everyone is really excited, except for Nikki's boyfriend. He tells her that she can't be in a band with 2 boys, but Toby fights for it and she agrees to come back. I think she's going to end up breaking up with this guy and get with Toby. 
So much stuff happened in this episode and all of it is setting up for one explosive finale. I can't wait to see all of the crazy things that happen in that episode! Make sure you all watch and look for my review.

Switched at Birth - We Are The Kraken of Our Own Sinking Ships

First off that title is way too long. This episode should have just been called awkward because of all the awkward moments. 
Moving on to the episode; Bay is completely out of control!! I don't know if she just wants to be rebellious or what but she's losing it. Her parents finally meet Zarra and clearly don't like her. So they try to distract Bay from Zarra by inviting her ex-boyfriend from the Galapagos and his parents over for dinner. That whole reunion was awkward because he thought Bay planned the whole thing, but the he found out she didn't. Then Bay gets a call from Zarra who is in jail and needs $1500 to get bailed out! So Bay, of course, comes up with a story to get out and get the money. Bay's ultimate low point was when she goes to her dad's shop to get some of the money, well steal it!! This is when I really started to not like Zarra. I mean, at first she was pretty cool but now she just seems like trouble and Bay is doing some crazy thing for this girl. What really made me mad was when Zarra basically lied about who Bay was baling out. There was another person she got out!! And I could tell Bay was not happy about that and she has every right to be. She stole $1200 from her dad; that's huge! I have no idea what her parents are going to do with her once they find out about this. Maybe she'll get kicked out of something? I don't know. 
Now Daphne is in a very interesting situation. We all know that Scuba likes her and when he finds out about her and Chef he tries to use it to his advantage, but that doesn't work. He still gets fired. I just can't believe that Chef is still going to be with Daphne. I just hope they don't get caught by the police before her parents find out. 
Now Toby is still seeing that girl Nikki and they are very cute together, but then there comes the awkward moment when her boyfriend calls!! That is just super awkward for Toby because you could tell that he really liked her. My question is, why did she lead him on like that?? Then she went on to sing him a song and tell him a super serious story about when her dad got shot. she basically poured her soul out to him. I guess it all inspired Toby to forget about the mess with Emmett because he went to Emmett's house and asked to be in his new band. So their friends again. 
Regina also started up her relationship with Patrick again, but that didn't last long. He basically told her that her marriage to Angelo is real even though she keeps saying that it isn't, and I totally agree. I think she still loves Angelo and just doesn't know it herself yet. I like them together anyways. 
I enjoyed this episode and I think the next ones are going to be pretty crazy, especially when people start finding out about Bay and Daphne.

Glee - The Break Up

Well, it looks like everyone breaks up in this episode. The only way I can do this is if I go through each couple left. So, here we go.
Let's start with Klaine. To me it seemed like Kurt didn't really have much time for Blaine anymore. I mean, he was denying his phone calls and when they were talking it seemed to be all about Kurt. So, Blaine decides to surprise Kurt and come visit 2 weeks earlier than planned. They go out to this club/karaoke bar place called Callbacks and Blaine sings this depressing version of Teenage Dream to Kurt. Kurt realizes that something is wrong with him and Blaine admits that's he cheated, and with a random!! Well, I wasn't expecting that to happen!! Kurt breaks down but we aren't exactly sure if they are officially broken up. It wasn't said, but we can assume. I think it's over but who knows/
Moving on to Finchel. In the last episode we saw Finn surprise Rachel in New York and in this episode we see them acting like a couple. This is all too weird and awkward because Finn basically caught Rachel and Brody together and we don't even hear them discuss that. So Finn kind of got an honorable discharge from the Army because he shot himself. I'm sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at this. I know it's wrong but it is kind of funny. Anyways, they also go out to Callbacks and Rachel wants to sing a duet with Finn but he insist that she sings it with Brody. So Rachel and Brody sing Give Your Heart a Break and, of course, it's really good. During their performance it looked like Finn was thinking that they had something going on and afterwards Rachel admits that she kissed Brody. Finn gets upset but I'm really confused. I thought they were broken up a long time ago, so why is he so upset. This like some Ross, Rachel "we were on a break" type stuff going on here. Then Finn goes back to McKinley and Rachel follows him there. They fight and then Rachel breaks up with him and this time it's definite.
Brittana is another couple that has a break up type thing. Santana comes home to do her laundry and stays for a visit. Brittany invites her to this left behind club thing hosted by Kitty (who's a nut job). Then they have a moment in the choir room when Santana sings Mine to Brittany. Then they agree to go their separate ways. This was the conversation that I wish all the couples like this should have had to avoid all the cheating.
Now Kitty and Jake break up too but they weren't together for that long and it looks like Will and Emma are going to be spending sometime apart but from the look of the preview for the next episode, I'm not too sure.
Now for some sidenotes. Kitty is crazy and I think she needs to be looked at by a psychiatrist. Something is seriously wrong with her because that whole left behind prank was just cruel. We finally see Tina in this episode but only for a few seconds (boo). There was no Sue in this episode. What's up with that, she hilarious?! And they're doing Greece!! During that scene I couldn't help but think that Finn could be the one to take Will's place when he leaves, but Finn can't dance so I don't know.
Overall this was a pretty emotional episode. I guess now everyone can finally move on and live their lives without any attachments. this episode really was real life. I thought that the entire time. This was a very accurate showing of what happens when people try to stay with their high school loves after they graduate. So good job Ryan Murphy. I'm kind of mad that I have to wait an entire month for a new episode but I can deal, I think. Until November!

Switched at Birth - Declaration of Independence

This show is getting so good!! 
Let me start by saying Bay and Zarra get themselves into a lot of trouble, but they are breaking the law, so ... That SMACK guy is a real punk. He ran off so fast, he didn't even try to fight! But, I have this bad feeling that they just started something that's going to end in a dangerous way. Let's just hope this guy doesn't go looking for them with a gun or something. 
I don't understand Bay's parents. did they really think that she was going to just stop doing graffiti just because it's the "right thing to do"? I mean, she's been doing it for 2 years did they really think she was just going o stop?? And she didn't stop and it seems like she won't stop and she's going to have to live with the consequences. I just wonder what they will say to her after she announced that. I really wish she and Emmett would get back together but he cheated and can't be trusted. I don't really understand their relationship at the moment. It seems like they're friends but Bay was using him to get what she wanted so I don't really know. 
Daphne's life seems to be a complete mess. She finally finds out about Emmett's mom and her boss getting together!! And she doesn't like it one bit, but that doesn't stop her and she finally gets what she wants; a kiss. But I'm not too sure I like this relationship. He is her boss and she is in high school. I'm pretty sure this is illegal and I have the feeling that Daphne's going to get fired or Jeff is going to get into a lot of trouble, especially when her parents find out because I'm pretty sure they will and I mean all of them. And, I know that John is not going to like this one bit. And what will happen when Melody finds out?? 
I'm happy that Toby is finally getting out of the house and it seems like a new relationship is forming. Good for him. 
I really think that they parents need to pay more attention to their children. They really have no idea what's going on. I don't expect them to know every little thing about their child. I just don't get how Bay's parents didn't know that she was tagging places for 2 years!!! I really don't get it. And I think that Regina needs to spend more time with Bay. In the beginning of the season they were really starting to get to know each other and I don't know what happened. 
Overall, this was a good episode. There is trouble brewing for both girls and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
