Winter Premieres 2017: Switched at Birth


Switched at Birth is back for it's final season and it's off to an interesting start. They are starting off some serious and some great storylines.
The girls are back from China and trying to get back to normal but that won't be too easy. Daphne can't take any classes or live in the dorms. Bay is dating Travis but there's still some drama between her and Emmett. Regina's taking college classes, J&K are both working at the school, and Toby is off being a father. The biggest shocker of the episode was that Emmett overdosed!
I think this was a good premiere. They did a great job setting up where everyone will go this year and I can't wait to see how they wrap up the series

This season is definitely going to be wild ride. Daphne is going to have to figure out what she's going to do. She's going to have some free time on her hands since she can't take any pre-med classes. I wonder if she'll get a job? Or get back into cooking. She hasn't done that in a while. Maybe they'll bring back her food truck?! Part of her time is going to be taken up by dealing with the aftermath of that costume party she went to. I mean, most of the backlash will be put on Mingo, but she was with him and it doesn't look like she has any idea why what he did was offensive so she'll get some backlash, too. I'm not surprised that this show is taking on cultural appropriation because they've tackled issues like this before. I'm sure (well more like hoping) that they'll handle it well.
The show is also tackling mental illness with Emmett. I'm really glad they're doing this, mainly because this is a serious issue that needs to be portrayed properly in the media and I think this is the show to do it.
We didn't see any of Toby this episode so I am very curious to see what's going on with him. From the looks of the promo, things look serious. I'm also interested in what will become of Emmett and Bay. Like I've said in the past, they need to be together or not and they need to figure it out soon.

So what did you guys think of the episode?
