Previously on "Switched at birth"...
It was a kiss kiss.
It is a giant conflict of interest.
Are you letting me go?
I think we are, Amanda.
I found out twelve and a half years ago,
when Daphne was three.
She wasn't biologically related to me.
All these people can write books about there lives, why can't I?
We're not together. We're just friends.
I don't wanna rent or buy a capybara.
I wanna make a video that
showcases our music, not a giant rodent.
The place I'm talking about would be perfect for a salon.
He tagged a billboard. We take these crimes very seriously.
And we are pressing charges.
Hey, uh, is there any way
to get Emmett online when he's off?
Not really. Why?
He just texted me
and now he's not picking up.
- Was it about his motorcycle? - Yeah.
How did you know about...
We were studying for trig together
when he found out.
I can't believe he has to sell Ripley.
I'm sorry. "Ripley"?
It's what he calls his motorcycle after Sigourney Weaver.
From "Aliens," his favorite movie.
We... we mostly talk about art, so...
Well, his dad bought it for his 13th birthday.
Oh well, see, that I knew.
And they fixed it up together.
So with the divorce and his dad moving out,
he cannot lose this bike.
Something tells me you've got a plan going on here.
200 cupcakes at $5 each.
It won't cover the whole ** but it's a start.
All right, one thing that I learned from Ty
is that guys really don't like you
offering them money for their vehicle.
It doesn't work out the way you think it will.
That's because you were his girlfriend.
And, plus, you're rich.
Emmett won't mind taking it from me.
But I'm kind of responsible.
What are you talking about?
Uh, the uh... the billboard,
the thing he did...
was for me. It was a birthday present.
I thought he gave you a scarf.
I mean, that was the first part.
I better get baking.
It's good to see you both.
It's been a long time since you negotiated
one of John's contracts.
I should have brought that mitt you said you'd sign.
Bring it by any time, pal.
Warren, thank you so much for dropping by.
I know litigation isn't your specialty.
Well, I'm happy to do what I can.
Your files are pretty straightforward.
Maybe a few bad facts in here,
but nothing that should keep us from pressing for a settlement.
Well, see, that's the thing. The hospital withdrew their offers.
They're telling us they would like to go to trial.
Oh, saber-rattling. No one likes the expense of a trial.
They'll avoid it if they can.
I'm writing a memoir about our experience.
And our last lawyer seemed a bit uncertain.
No, I'd say keep all your notes and drafts in one place
and don't write anything you wouldn't want read in open court.
- All of it will be discoverable. - That doesn't sound good.
Are you kidding? A memoir's great!
Powerful, moving testimony with killer details.
A jury will eat that up. And hello movie rights!
- Do you have a publisher yet? - Oh, no.
- Not yet. I'm... I'm still writing it. - Yeah.
Um, excuse me just one second. You mentioned a jury.
So you would like to go to trial?
I'm not gunning for it, but if they call our bluff,
we wanna show 'em we're ready to get in there and annihilate them.
You know what I'm talking about, get our game face on.
Yeah. Um, Craig, on this record of settlements here
how many of these did you personally argue?
Well, none in actuality,
but I wrote most of them and my father was first chair,
so I learned at the feet of a master.
Great. Okay. Thank you so much.
Um, well, we have tons to talk about.
Absolutely. And, listen,
I might look like a rookie,
but that just means the other side is not gonna see us coming.
I'd love to work on this with you.
Oh, let me guess.
Buckner basketball?
No, they're for ....
Oh, that motorcycle. Melody feels sick about it.
Support the cause?
Breakfast of champions.
Yes! Only 199 more to go.
This is kind of fun.
There's nothing like running your own business.
Um, actually, uh,
I'm moving forward with mine.
- Do you mean the salon? - Uh-huh.
I am looking for a place later today.
That's amazing! You got the loan?
No, but Angelo wanted to invest.
Oh.
He's just a silent partner. No creative input.
It's just an investment for him.
You won't have to see him at all.
Okay.
But if you or Bay are uncomfortable with it,
I won't move forward.
Well,
I don't want to be the reason that you don't get the salon.
It wouldn't be like that.
I say go for it. The money has to come from somewhere, right?
Ah. Oh, okay.
Here's to small businesses.
Uh, you know, I could drive around
and put these on motorcycles for you.
I miss hanging out.
Wish I was better at trig.
Oh, what... what is that?
- "Hypocrite." - Hi.
Uh, if... if there's anything
that I can do to help Emmett
keep his bike...
Right, which he is trying to do,
but, uh, maybe like a payment plan could work.
Uh, it's a plan
and you pay money
over, uh, time.
Toby: And how much is all this gonna cost?
My uncle's warehouse is free as long as we show up after 5:00.
And what about Emmett?
Bay said something about him being on lockdown or something.
Oh, we'll shoot inserts on him later. Check this out...
costumes for the capybara.
Look at that tux.
We're gonna get more hits than that dramatic chipmunk!
But people are actually
gonna be listening to the song though, right?
- Oh yeah, dude. - Hey, guys.
Oh, Simone. Awesome.
Hey, you're in Mancolo's digital media class, right?
No, I will not shoot your sex tape.
Actually, we're making a music video.
Really? Well, that I might shoot.
We just need some equipment, like a camera.
Wait, you got the tux for the capybara,
but you didn't get a camera?
I can set you guys up. Who, uh... who's directing?
This is more of a D.I.Y. thing.
Dude, you guys should totally just focus on looking pretty.
I have a project that I've gotta do in this class anyway.
I'll show up with the gear
and do the shooting and you guys be rock stars.
- It's win-win. - Our vision is pretty specific.
But we do need a director and a camera.
You're hired.
Okay.
- Bye. - See you.
When are you gonna give me a peek at that?
Mm, when it's ready.
- "My husband is my hero." - Oh no, d-d-d-d.
So, honey, what do you think of that second lawyer, Craig Tebbe?
- I liked him. - Of course you liked him.
He practically ordered an advance copy of your book.
Yeah. Warren wasn't trying to flatter you?
"When are you gonna sign my mitt?"
Warren's got a hell of a lot more experience.
With sports contracts.
We need a negotiator, not a first-timer looking to prove himself.
I'll see you.
What's wrong with first-timers?
Hey, I said it was five bucks.
I'm the one who's deaf, not you.
Thank you.
Everybody at Buckner thinks they don't have to pay.
It's called entitlement for a reason.
Do you want one? I'm helping Emmett.
- He needs $5,000. - I'm not really into cupcakes.
So I saw you switched cooking partners.
Did you get tired of me doing all the work?
Nah, I just figured clover
could use some guidance. See you there.
Hey.
We're still friends, right?
You know what? I got a lot of friends.
And so do you.
Uh, hey.
How'd the cupcake thing go?
Turns out 200 cupcakes is a lot.
I was just bringing the leftovers to you guys.
Know anybody who needs some work done on their bike?
This is ridiculous. We're surrounded by money.
I know. My mom could squeeze five grand out of Mission Hills
- in like 10 minutes. - Can't we just ask them?
I'm sorry. You wanna ask my parents
to cough up five grand so Emmett can keep his motorcycle?
What if I say that my car broke down?
Then he'll take your not-broken car
to this guy who curses in polish.
And seriously you're going with subterfuge?
If you think the truth won't work.
I'm just saying that there might be other options.
What if I say I need a new computer?
Then they'll buy you a new computer.
Okay, so it has to be something expensive
that they can't just buy for me.
I mean, that's generally the idea.
- But, you know, I'm also thinking maybe... - Wait!
I know what to ask for.
I lost my hearing aids.
- Oh, sweetie. - I took them out at this cafe to read
and I must have just left them on the table.
I'm so sorry to bother you, but it's gonna kill my mom.
Stop. Don't even think about it.
What are we talking?
Well, insurance won't pay for a second pair,
so $5,000.
Done.
- I'm so sorry. - Oh, no, we're just happy
- that you came to us. - Yeah.
So how do we do this? Do I call the clinic or...
No. Uh, the clinic knows me, so if you call it in,
my mom will know and she'll find out that you guys...
We get it.
So check out to you?
- Of course I'll... I'll pay you back. - Stop. It's okay.
We just wanna take care of you.
Thank you.
Why do I feel so bad?
It's the lying afterburn.
But I barely had to say anything.
It was like they couldn't wait to write that check.
- I probably could have asked for more. - Okay, got it.
Well,
I guess we tell Emmett the good news.
I already texted him.
Congratulations.
Okay, we're gonna need to call a contractor for the plumbing
and we should definitely drop the ceiling.
Can we just celebrate for a minute?
I mean, this is incredible, right?
An incredible amount of work.
But yes, incredible.
Here, sparkling apple cider.
Yeah.
Thank you for all of this.
Here's to ripping everything out
and starting all over again.
Mm. Ah.
Mm.
You still wear the necklace.
Uh, yeah.
I...
I guess I was feeling a little superstitious.
I should make one for Daphne.
Okay, um, you still need to go slow with her.
It's not like she really said yes to this.
It's more like she got tired of saying no.
But there's hope. And that's all I need.
I'm sorry.
It's the realtor. Um,
- I hope the check didn't bounce. - What?
Kidding. Hello?
You're so bad.
Okay, I'll do the thing with the tutu,
but I'm not sticking an orange in its mouth.
Oh, come on, it's the death of the godfather.
I looked it up. Capybaras only eat,
like, four to six plant species.
- I'm not feeding it random fruit. - Oh, yeah?
Well, they also eat their own poop.
You just got out-wikipedia'd. Boom!
Clearly this is gonna require sugar.
Thanks for going with the whole concept. I know it's...
A total joke that has nothing to do with your song?
- I was gonna say "Elaborate," but... - Licorice?
Mm.
So doing famous film scenes with a capybara...
Whose stroke of genius was that?
Well, Wilke's the visionary. I just write the songs.
Yeah, you just write the songs.
What?
Justin Timberlake and Joey Fatone... that's all I'm saying.
I don't know who I'd be in that equation.
You know, sexy back.
Okay.
Well, thanks for following up.
I'll let you know what our next move is. Yeah.
You didn't just hire Warren, did you?
No, that's the guy we had checking up on Angelo.
Don't you wanna sit down?
No. Virginia Woolf wrote standing up.
Mm.
Did he find anything?
Nothing.
It's like the guy totally disappeared two years ago.
Why don't you just ask Angelo?
Why? He's just gonna spin some story.
It's worth a shot. Every falsehood reveals a deeper truth.
- Virginia Woolf? - Kathryn Kennish.
Coming soon to a bookstore near you.
- There you are. - Hey... uh,
just grabbing my books. I'ma go study at Emmett's.
Oh, uh...
I wanted to ask you about that text you sent me.
"Ripley saved"?
- I sent that to you? - Well, who was it for?
Uh, somebody at school.
It's just a project we're working on together.
It's just a joke.
Wait, Ripley... Emmett's motorcycle.
It's not. It's... it's a project that we're working on.
You're lying. Tell me right now.
What's going on?
I got some money
so Emmett wouldn't have to sell his motorcycle
and I just wanted to let him know.
Well, why couldn't you just tell me that?
I don't know. 'cause...
because...
I got the money from John and Kathryn.
To pay for Emmett's motorcycle,
the one-way ticket to the emergency room? Try again.
Well, that's not what
they thought they were paying for.
I see. And what did they think they were paying for?
Something I'm too poor to give you?
I told them
that I lost my hearing aids.
- You what?! - I know.
You are going over there and tell them what you did now.
And obviously you are giving that money back!
Now!
Hi.
- Hi. - Is John home?
Oh no, you just missed him.
Did you get the new hearing aids?
No. Actually, I just, uh, came by
to give you this back. I cashed the check.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. I... I found my hearing aids.
Oh, that's great! Where did you find them?
I, uh...
I never lost them.
I said that
because Emmett is going to have to sell his motorcycle
to pay for this fine that he owes
and I knew that you would never help out with that, so...
So you lied to us?
- I'm so sorry. - Why?
Why would you do that?
It's just his motorcycle is so important to him.
And I wanted to be the one to save him
after all the times that he saved me.
- So you thought that that made it okay? - No.
We wanted to help you
and you used us like an A.T.M.
I didn't mean to.
I really am so sorry.
I thought I could trust you.
You can. I promise you can.
Look, I know we agreed not to co-parent,
but I just... I had to take away her car keys for a month.
Believe me, if you hadn't, I would have.
Has she ever done anything like this before?
No, but then again she's never been around people
who can write her a check for $5,000 before
- without telling her mother. - I'm sorry.
We were just trying to help.
- And obviously if we had known that... - I know.
It's no surprise that she went off the rails.
Everything has been so crazy for her lately.
I know, but I thought things were getting better.
She was on that new basketball team
and she's making new friends.
It's Angelo.
What?
He's helping me get the salon started.
And Daphne said she was fine with it, but I don't know.
You're opening up a business together?
Trying to build some financial independence for myself, yes.
I know, but with Angelo?
If I had other options, I'd be using them.
As John well knows, no one does it alone.
I know that too.
I better go.
Oh, honey, I need to talk to you a minute.
Yeah, I'm kind of in a hurry actually.
Is there some place you need to be?
I'm trying to steal a few illegal moments with Emmett.
- Do you wanna arrest me? - Actually,
that's part of what I need to talk to you about.
- What did I do? - I don't know.
See, Daphne came to us with a story
about how she lost her hearing aids
and she managed to get $5,000 from us,
and now I find out that she made up the whole story
so that Emmett wouldn't have to sell his motorcycle.
Still waiting for the part where I did something.
Well, I know that Emmett is Daphne's friend,
but he's your boyfriend...
So automatically I must have put her up to it?
So you're telling me
that Daphne thought up this whole thing by herself?
I don't believe this. Mom,
this would not hold up in a court of law.
Actually, a court of law would talk about your past offenses
and the fact that Daphne doesn't have any.
Because you just met her. And I hate to burst your bubble,
but she came to me and
- I tried to talk her out of it. - Wait wait.
She came to you and you didn't say anything to us?
Do you even hear yourself?
It's like no matter what I say, this is my fault!
I am just trying to figure out what happened.
What happened is she's not the person that you think she is
And if you're wrong about her,
then you might be wrong about me too.
- John. - Hey.
- Can I, uh... - Oh sure, please come in.
Thanks.
Do you want me to make you a coffee.
Uh, no no, thank you.
I didn't know you did crafts.
Yeah, I'm... I'm working on a necklace for Daphne.
Oh, I'm realizing there's still so much we don't know about you.
I doubt any of it is very interesting.
I don't know. I think it's pretty interesting
there's no record of you existing for the last two years.
Well, if you asked me, I would be happy to fill you in.
I'm asking.
Well, uh, after I left Regina,
I traveled around,
uh, did different temporary jobs.
Most of them paid cash.
Yeah, you know, I'm really more interested in the last two years.
But I had a situation in Chicago,
more like an arrangement with a woman.
She was well-off. We lived together.
She took care of things.
Sorry. I just, you know,
think we're all a little on edge
since the whole Regina revelation.
Sorry, what do you mean?
Well, you know, the fact that she knew about the switch all along.
What? I don't understand.
She did a D.N.A. test on Daphne when Daphne was three.
She's known she had the wrong kid for 13 years.
I am sorry, I assumed you knew.
But I just don't understand why she didn't tell Angelo she knew.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Honey, I can't begin to tell you what Regina is thinking.
Just when I think I have one question answered, she...
Yeah. Well, here's another thing she forgot to mention...
she and Angelo are opening up a salon together.
Oh, you mean the man she doesn't trust
to be anywhere near Daphne?
- I know. - No wonder the kid's acting out.
Let's not make excuses for Daphne.
She lied to us for a motorcycle.
I'm just glad that thing
- is finally out of our lives. - I am too.
Believe me.
So should we be thinking about a punishment or...
I already took away her car keys for a month.
- Really? - Yeah.
Then I accused Bay of putting Daphne up to it.
Now she hates me too.
No, she doesn't hate you.
You did the right thing.
It doesn't feel that way.
Let me tell you something,
we're giving those kids exactly what they need right now...
a safe predictable world
where actions have consequences.
You accidentally texted your mom?!
How do you even do that?
I don't know. Her number is next to Emmett's in my phone.
I felt bad. Maybe I wanted to get caught.
Oh. Next time you and your conscience
really need to get on the same page.
At least I'm trying to help.
Emmett wouldn't even be in this mess if it wasn't for you!
Really? You too? Could you please please explain to me how
I'm responsible for things I had nothing to do with?
Emmett's given me a lot of gifts.
None of them ever landed him in jail!
Oh okay, now we're getting to it.
You're pissed because all you got a DVD for your birthday
- and I got a romantic gesture... - That got him arrested.
And now he's about to lose the thing
he cares about the most. Thank you, Bay!
Okay, hang on a second, all right? Just wait.
This is stupid. And none of it is helping Emmett.
This is a disaster.
And John and Kathryn think I'm a thief and a liar.
Actually they think I cornered the market on that one.
Forget it, okay? I have a plan.
Are you kidding me?
Who do we know with enough money
to blow on a giant rodent
who also happens to have a huge crush on you?
No way. Wilke wouldn't even buy a cupcake to help Emmett.
Don't underestimate your charm, all right?
It's all about how you frame it.
I lied to your parents, my mom,
and I'm not gonna manipulate Wilke too.
Is now really a good time to be taking the moral high ground?
I couldn't even do it even if I wanted to.
- Your mom took my keys. - She did?!
Could you try to keep the happiness down a little bit?
Even I can hear you.
Okay.
I'll drive.
Don't yell at me, it's not my fault
that the stupid rodent isn't here!
It's on its way. So can we just set up the shot like we planned?
Simone, what are you doing here?
Directing supposedly.
Look, I just wanna shoot something that involves the actual band.
There is a plan here.
Your plan is stupid and has nothing to do with the music!
- What's going on? - Toby!
Oh, hey.
Okay, I hate to interrupt the pandemonium,
but we actually came here for a purpose, so...
I know how you guys feel about Emmett.
- What? I like Emmett. - He's your drummer
and you're shooting a music video without him.
- Thank you. - We'll do inserts.
- He said we're gonna shoot inserts! - Guys, stop.
Okay, when you guys lost your drummer at the Buckner fund raiser,
who was there to save your butts? Emmett.
And when you were trying to get into East-West Fest,
who was there to exploit for a gimmick?
- He wanted to be there. - We didn't exploit Emmett.
Okay, the point is, Emmett has been there to help you out.
- He's your bandmate. He's my best friend. - He's my boyfriend.
- And he's going through a lot right now. - Just spit it out.
- What do you need? - Five grand by tomorrow
- or he has to sell his motorcycle. - Five grand?!
- You serious? - Five grand?! We don't have five grand.
You don't have five grand? I'm sorry, what is all of this?
- Exactly. We spent it all. - You spent it all on what,
green paint and a tarp?
What about your fake I.D. business?
Look, if I had the money, I would give it to you.
You're killing me here.
It's just... you were my last hope.
All I can say is, no matter what happens to the bike,
that guy's a lucky bastard. And hey,
if it helps,
I know what you're going through.
It's no fun going after something you're never gonna get.
At some point you gotta give up the ghost.
- Angelo, look... - Don't tell me I'm not following the rules
because I don't care right now.
What are you doing here?
How long have you known Daphne wasn't your daughter?
I... uh...
You knew all this time and you didn't tell me?
I came back 13 years later, begging for everyone's forgiveness
and you still don't tell me?
I was getting to it. I'm sorry.
I don't think you were.
Because that would mean
that I was right and that you couldn't stand.
I did try. I called you in Italy
- and some woman answered. - So what?
I had the right to know
that my real daughter was out there somewhere!
What if I wanted to contact her?!
I didn't want you to contact her!
I was protecting her. That's the choice I made...
not to interrupt the life she had,
not for you or me or anyone.
That wasn't your choice to make.
I know you don't understand. No one understands.
I did it for the girls.
You know what? I'm done with everything.
Of course you are!
Typical Angelo... walking out again!
It's not like we totally failed.
I mean, we still have your cupcake money.
I had to spend $20 on gas.
I remember the first time
he took me out on the motorcycle.
We went on that road that goes all the way around the city,
going like 70 the whole time.
And we were both just screaming at the top of our lungs.
And it was, like,
for the first time we didn't have to worry
about what our voices sounded like.
♪ The cold street light shows my breath like I'm steaming ♪
♪ I still remember ♪
♪ I still remember when we... ♪
♪ We stumbled on a bus stop ♪
♪ We'd take it almost anywhere ♪
♪ I would just the same ♪
♪ But I can't get away from here ♪
♪ No, I can't get away from here. ♪
Hey.
That was amazing.
Thanks.
How come I've never heard that before?
I guess it wasn't Timberlake enough.
- You ready for me? - Wilke's still in there
trying to get that thing into a tutu.
What? It's Wilke.
- You went out with him. You know the deal. - Yeah, I know.
I guess I just realized I could do better.
Well, I appreciate you doing this,
but if you think we're a joke, then...
The first time that I saw you guys was freshman year
in Valerie Marek's basement.
You guys were a sloppy mess...
until this one song.
It stopped the party cold.
"Everybody's hero."
And I remember thinking, "Wow, this guy is magic."
"He can stop time."
I didn't just happen to show up at East-West
because I wanted to see a bunch of other bands play.
I came to see you.
I have been at every single one of your shows
just waiting for that to happen again.
That's why I did this.
Well, that and...
Uh, we've been doing everything that we can
to save Ripley.
But we couldn't. I'm so sorry.
Well, you guys go. Mow down some aliens for me.
You guys go ahead.
It's okay.
Really?
Yeah.
You should go to Blue River road.
It's killer at night.
So my mom just took away her car.
I mean, Kathryn Kennish can throw down.
People don't think it's there, but it is.
Yeah.
I'm sorry that we couldn't save your bike.
Uh, no, you idiot.
Because you built it with your dad.
And you named it after some alien killer.
It's a part of you.
And now you're losing it because of me.
No, it's true. If it wasn't for that stupid billboard.
I know.
So do I get to be your new taxi service?
Don't make me sorry I called you.
What turned you around? The video shoot?
- Seeing me in my element? - Maybe I felt sorry for you,
waiting around for something you couldn't have.
I'd say my patience paid off.
The gazelle has returned to the watering hole.
You are incredible.
I'm out of comebacks. Can we make out now?
Drive.
- John, hi. - Craig?
- Did we have a... - No no, I just was hoping
- to drop these off for Kathryn. - Oh, she...
- Hi, Craig. - Hey. Listen, I hope you don't mind,
but I ran your book idea past a buddy of mine
at a publishing house in Chicago and he seems pretty interested.
I thought I'd bring by some of his other titles,
show you what kinds of things they do.
Well, thank you so much. That's thoughtful.
Really giving it the old full court press, huh, Craig?
- I always do. - You wanna come in?
- Sure. - Well, Kath...
Kathryn... um, listen, Craig...
In fairness, I...
I think you should know we're leaning
- in another direction... - Mm, I understand.
- Can I ask who? - Warren Enfield.
Oh, sure. That makes sense. Warren's a great negotiator.
If you're looking to make a deal, you can't do better.
But if you wanna sue this hospital for their egregious mistakes
and total dysfunction as an organization,
- I'd say I'm your guy. - And why's that?
Because I don't want some
settlement check that comes out of an account
they set aside to pay for their mistakes and keep people quiet.
In my experience, money buries the truth.
What gets things to actually change is noise.
That's me. I'm noisy.
I'm not saying this is a bulletproof case,
but I look through your files and all I see is negligence
and abuse of labor laws,
not to mention the unconscionable unwillingness
to take responsibility for what they did to two families.
Obviously we can't undo what they did,
but we can hold their feet to the fire.
You can find somebody more experienced,
but you're not gonna find somebody

Okay, Craig Tebbe. Let's make some noise.
All right.
I didn't know you were here.
I was, uh, clearing out the back...
I just wanted to drop off the key.
I spoke to the realtor. They said that they would let us out
if we paid one month's rent, which obviously I will cover.
- You don't have to. - No, I insist.
I don't wanna cancel the lease.
I don't know what I wanna do.
This was supposed to be it, you know?
This was supposed to be
me finally getting everything right.
Yeah, I don't think that's possible.
I was up all night thinking.
The truth is if I were you,
I don't know what I would have done.
You believe me? That I did what I did for the girls?
Yes, I believe you.
I was going to bring this by later.
It's for Daphne.
I don't wanna disappear.
I've already missed out on so much.
I'm not missing out any more.
I'm sorry. It's just that...
no one has understood
Why I did what I did.
Gina.
