Switched at Birth s04e05 Episode Script

Previously on Switched at Birth We'd like to have you back in the group.
You mean, me and my advanced notes.
They'd be helpful.
I really want to kiss you.
Yes.
Your dad and I think it's time you started paying for your insurance and your phone.
You're not living under our roof anymore, and I'm on a really tight budget.
I'm doing the best that I can with what I'm making right now.
I want us to be like we were.
_ Let's just say this long-distance thing sucks.
On the bright side, we're at a party, we are not under house arrest.
- To the night! - To the night! Yeah.
(Phone vibrating) _ (Theme music playing) Honey? I crashed in Daphne's room.
Yeah, well, you still have to call us.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Oh well, I guess you had a lot to celebrate.
You got your ankle thing off, and Emmett was in town.
I'm glad you did the responsible thing by not driving.
I just hope you weren't over-celebrating.
- (Rock music playing) - To freedom! To freedom! (All cheering) I wasn't.
Do you want some toast or some cereal? I've got a little frittata left.
I'm not really hungry.
Doesn't community service start soon? You better get going.
I'm so glad you got your license back.
Oh, your brother came up with the funniest idea for a number; Wives versus girlfriends in a dance off.
Kathryn: the K.
C.
Royals are a beautiful team they're out of my league but hey a girl can dream Hey, mom.
What? I really like the song.
Professor Marillo: Uh-huh.
Have you chosen your element for your final group project? Yes, fluorine.
I was thinking cobalt.
But then we talked about how one element can impact a lifetime.
Like, my mother, who grew up without fluoride in the water, and now has a lifetime of dental problems.
I always applaud making chemistry personal.
I mean, our whole lives are shaped by chemistry.
It's endlessly fascinating.
I was gonna propose lithium, because of my medication.
That's a joke.
That's The point is, this is a collaboration, okay? Keep talking and get your proposal to me by Wednesday.
So, for the group project, we all get the same grade, right? All for one, one for all.
And if someone wanted to do their own project, too, to supplement their grade? She's afraid we're gonna drag her down.
No, no, no.
It's just if there were other elements that we wanted to work on? I'm sorry, is this something you could discuss during your own time and not our group review? - It's just a question.
- You know what? Let's end here.
(Stammers) Was there anything else for the group? No, no, thanks.
I've got all the information I need.
(Door opens) I'm so sorry.
(Panting) I, uh, my seminar ran late, and the bus It's okay.
I think I got it.
We're done, so Daphne and Vimla, um I'm having a small gathering at my home tonight.
Attendance is optional, of course.
We start at 7:00.
And my husband has this thing about shoes in the house.
- Mr.
Padden.
- Professor.
I'm guessing you know this, but attendance is not optional.
Thanks a lot.
Why does she act like it's my fault? - Hey! - Oh! Could you not torture me today? I'm really not in the mood.
Jeez, okay.
How much did you have anyway? Are you even allowed to drink with that Oh, government ball and chain is gone.
Congrats.
Thanks.
My boyfriend came into town to surprise me.
Lucky, it sounds like you got a really good guy.
Yeah, I am lucky.
(Phone vibrating) You guys have a fight or something? (Sighs) _ - That him? - Uh, no.
(Stammers) It's, uh It's a different guy.
Oh, it's like that.
Hey, you know what? No.
Not like that.
At least I don't want it to be.
I love my boyfriend.
I don't know how this happened.
Seven shots is usually how.
I didn't even drink that much.
Right.
I don't remember it being that much.
I've been there.
Not proud of it, but it happens.
But I'm not even sure what happened.
I remember up to a point, but then nothing.
Man.
You think you and this guy I don't know.
I woke up next to him, and my clothes were off, but that could mean anything.
Right? I mean like, it doesn't necessarily mean for sure First of all, you better hope he used a condom because that's basically how I got knocked up with Sam.
Oh God.
Second of all, a girl wakes up wasted with her underwear off? In my experience, not a whole lot of mystery about what happened.
Gordon: Kennish, Ritter, this way.
But, hey What do I know? (Bells chime) (Door opens) That looks cool.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I was checking out the competition over at Lupe's Bakery.
I hope you like murals.
I like this one.
I figured we could cover up some water damage and build community spirit at the same time.
Dig the efficiency.
Oh Also I wanted to say what happened between us Yep.
was impulsive and totally unprofessional of me and won't happen again.
Really? Yes.
Am I allowed to say that I'm disappointed? - You're blushing.
- (Laughs) I just needed to get it over with.
You flatterer.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that.
It's just It was the first time since Angelo.
Oh, I get it.
You wanted to lose your widow virginity.
Well, I only feel slightly used.
(Sighs) Oh God, I'm so sorry.
(Laughs) I'm kidding.
Relax.
I just would hate to think that I ruined our working relationship.
Hey Water under the bridge.
Yes.
Hi! Do I have time to change out of my work clothes? It's just grill night.
You look great.
You do realize you're not actually looking at me? Sorry.
You look gorgeous, and kind of Republican, which is totally gonna be a plus with my dad.
Thank you.
I think.
Hold on a second, I just gotta place a bid on this Corolla.
Oh, what's wrong with the BMW? $350 a month for car insurance.
Other than that, it's a feat of German engineering, and selling it is gonna be like cutting out my own heart on a Mayan altar.
(Chuckles) That's a really overdone metaphor, and I think you mean Aztecs.
I love dating a school teacher.
Well, I'm not a school teacher anymore, I'm an administrator.
(Chuckles) Do you really need to sell your car? Well, if I want to cover all my expenses plus rent.
It's just until the fall parties kick in, and supposedly I'm getting paid at some point for this musical that I'm writing with my mom Which I can't believe I'm doing.
Why don't you let me help you.
Write the musical? No, silly.
Cover your expenses.
(Laughs) Uh, no.
Why not? I'm not having my girlfriend pay my rent.
That's worse than my parents paying it.
Well, you'd do it for me, wouldn't you? Of course, but Oh, women can need help, but men can't, is that it? Something like that.
Well, now you're gonna have to accept just to prove you're not sexist.
Seriously, no.
I've got a job.
You're gonna pay me back.
It's no problem.
Look, how much is your rent? This is a really bad idea.
Two words.
Heated seats.
Three.
Premium sound system.
Toby, I'm happy to do this.
- It's $500, right? - (Sighs) $600 with utilities.
(Bells tolling distantly) Hey.
Hey.
So, this is weird.
Yeah.
Uh, listen, I just want to say I know you probably think last night was a mistake.
Yeah, I kind of came out of nowhere.
Well, I always wanted it to happen, but I didn't expect so We did? Well, yeah.
Oh God Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God.
Whoa, hold on.
Did we use anything? Yes, of course.
Jeez.
This cannot have happened.
Okay, you don't have to act like having sex with me is, like, the grossest thing on the planet.
Look I'm not gonna tell anyone what happened.
That's not what it's not just about Emmett.
We were safe.
No one ever has to know.
What's the big deal? I have to go.
Should I bake something? Is that too girly? I don't want to try too hard.
What if no one else brings anything? Maybe I'll bring wine.
Is that weird? Relax.
Marillo invited you to her house.
That's obviously a privilege of some kind.
But why? I got a D on my first exam.
A D! What if this is the official meeting before she kicks people out? Well, she asked Vimla.
No, not like she It's fine.
I know she's doing way better than me.
Do you know that she didn't even make honors society in high school? Oh, you did not look that up.
Just focus on Marillo, okay? This is an opportunity to make a connection.
But you're coming, right? (Laughs) Um Isn't this more of like a social thing? I don't know.
That's the point.
Yeah, I don't think you want me with you in Marillo's house.
What happened between you two? Trust me, Dumbo.
You don't need the feather to fly.
You'll be fine.
Hey, it's everyone's favorite felon.
You're just in time.
Oh, grill night.
I was just about to go talk to mom.
Lily is out back doing the serious charm offensive on her and dad.
Soon we will eat the sacrificial cow.
Oh, looks like someone did a little bit too much imbibing of the liquid of the gods last night.
Did Tank say something? No, just a guess.
Why? Did you see Tank last night? (Stammers) I'm just gonna go talk to Regina.
Could you just tell them? Yeah.
Everything okay? Yeah.
See you later.
So I'm in the middle of this lovely interaction with a board member, who's so enthusiastic about the program, and I'm thinking, "this is brilliant.
" "We're gonna get so much support.
" Then she starts talking about her brother, who is a funeral director, and how she's always thought it was a noble profession, and I realized she thinks I've said "death program.
" (All chuckling) Well, in case you ever want to diversify.
You know, even without the support, it's amazing how much you've done.
Oh, I feel really lucky.
I mean, most people I went to grad school with are still on their first teaching job.
Well, you hear that, Tob? Higher education leading to professional opportunity.
Loud and clear, dad.
You know, Toby was accepted to Wash U.
Yep, they just didn't offer a degree in DJ'ing.
I am so ready for steak.
Who's with me? I think Toby is a person of tremendous potential.
I'll drink to that.
Potential to rock your party.
Speaking of which, I gotta check on that turntable.
You know what? That's one thing I'll never get.
How much equipment does one DJ actually need? Yeah, I have to wonder the same.
What turntable? It's a Japanese thing.
That something you really need? It's a business investment.
Toby: This is how I make money.
(Chattering quietly) You know what? We need to get some salad.
Salad's here.
You know, we need more salad.
(Sighs) Okay.
Hi.
It's apple cider.
Oh, how autumnal.
Thank you.
Shoes, please.
Oh, where did you get a periodic table welcome mat? I seem to be a target for nerd gifts.
It's the perils of a life in science, I suppose.
- (Laughs) - Come in.
Have we figured out why we're here yet? Nope.
Well, since we've all gathered, let's get started.
Thank you for trekking to Casa Marillo.
Every year, I like to pick a handful of students and have them over for my personal favorite dessert, ice cream.
Now, any comp lit major can eat ice cream.
Since you're scientists, I thought you could make some.
There are five of you.
There are more than five ways of making ice cream, and you've got everything you need.
So, I'll come back in half an hour and see what you've come up with.
And yes you could look up how to do this on your phones, but did sir Isaac Newton look up gravity on his smart phone? Can I ask a question? No.
No questions.
Just make sure that you follow the safety instructions with the liquid nitrogen goggles and gloves at all times.
Great.
Well, see you at 7:30.
Looks like you're pretty handy with a grill.
Gotta do something to realize all this untapped potential.
Was that such a bad thing to say? You do have potential.
Which we all know is code for "nothing going on.
" So, if my job doesn't look like yours, then it's not legitimate? I'm not saying your work isn't legitimate.
What are you saying? Well, first of all, I'd like to see you make actual music.
You know, something that uses more of your talent.
So you do judge my work.
Toby, you can barely pay your rent.
You work four hours a week making people dance at a party.
I prepare all week for those four hours.
I just don't think it sounds like a career with a future.
See, this is exactly why I didn't want to take that check from you.
This has nothing to do with that check.
This has everything to do with it.
Well, I'm not pleased that I gave you money for rent and you're off trying to buy a turntable.
I do have a problem with that.
I told you, it's an investment.
And by the way, I'm 20 years old I don't need to think about my future.
When I was your age, I was already student teaching.
Well, good for you.
So, how are the steaks coming along? Smells great, you two.
Looking good.
Potential for amazing I'd say.
Hey.
Hi.
I'm sorry to just drop in.
I should have called.
Oh, no, no, no.
It's great.
This place is really cool.
It will be.
Whoa, look at that.
Regina: I'm just figuring it out.
No, it's amazing.
(Sighs) Do you think I could help? Yes! I should have invited you in the first place, come! Okay, so just continue the pattern.
Orange, yellow, orange.
Like that.
Okay, thanks.
So, how's community service? Any more trouble with that girl? Tess? No.
We sort of - Worked things out.
- Good.
Actually Tess does have Well, she did talk to me about something that happened, and she doesn't really have a mom or a mother figure in her life.
So, I was wondering what you might say about her dilemma.
- Shoot.
- Okay.
Um, well.
.
(Sighs) Tess has a boyfriend.
A pretty serious one.
I think she loves him a lot.
But I guess last night she got really drunk, like, smashed.
And when she woke up this morning, she found out that she had had sex with someone else, but she doesn't remember it.
Nothing.
Blackout.
Does that count as cheating? I mean does she have to tell her boyfriend? Well, that's awful.
That she cheated.
That she was raped.
What? Well, if she was so drunk that she couldn't remember it the next day, then she didn't give consent.
Right.
Well, in my opinion, in a lot of people's opinion.
But she wasn't passed out.
And what if she did give consent, but she just doesn't remember it? If she said yes, but she said it when she was that wasted, the guy should not have had sex with her, period.
I don't know that I agree with you but thank you.
I'll tell her.
- Great job once again, grill master.
- Yep.
So, Tob, um Your mom and I were talking, and we would like to give you a little something to see you through the end of the month.
You guys just cut me off.
Yes.
But Think of it as an advance on the musical.
We barely started.
You don't have to do that.
We just don't want to put you in an awkward position with Lily.
You know what? I think I've had all the humiliation I can take for one day.
So if you don't mind, I'm gonna pack it in.
Okay.
Would you like to take some dessert home? No.
I'll take a little cobbler.
(Sighs) (Door closes) He is gonna blow it with that girl.
You have to keep it moving.
Do you want me to stir? I'm okay.
I've done this before.
You add it in small amounts.
Girl: Guys, stop it.
Girl: This isn't even our house.
(Gasping) Could you back off? I was just trying to help.
Now there's not going to be enough for the rest of us.
Don't touch it! Just give me some room, please.
Girl: Fine.
_ _ No, I'm okay.
So, pretty crazy party, right? _ _ (Laughs nervously) That's funny.
Um, so how did I end up in a room? _ - (Screaming) - partying like so loud getting down like all night let's go tonight we step it up (Screaming) - (Groans) - (Laughing) Oh, are you okay? Come on.
I don't feel so good.
The room's spinning.
Whoa, whoa! _ _ Who was I with? _ _ Yeah.
_ Totally.
I just wanted to fill in some of the blanks.
Thanks.
Fine, you're right.
I shouldn't have bought the turntable.
It's none of my business.
I shouldn't have said anything.
My mom offered to give me an advance on the musical, so, I'm gonna pay you back, and we'll act like none of this ever happened.
Sure.
That sounded convincing.
What do you want me to say? I don't know.
That you understand who I am.
That you're not going to be waiting around for me to become some straitlaced guy in a suit, 'cause that's never gonna happen.
I don't want you to be someone you're not.
So, what? Maybe we're just two very different people.
Let me get this straight: I didn't want you to give me the money, you gave me the money, and now you're breaking up with me? Can we just talk about this tomorrow? Okay.
That's too frozen.
We can't eat it.
Maybe if you weren't hanging over me.
Maybe if you didn't hog all the materials.
This is not the time to fix your grade, all right? Excuse me? Everyone knows that you got a D on the midterm.
Why are you still in this class? Oh, wait.
What is that supposed to mean? Never mind.
No.
What? It's just obvious things are a little easier for you.
Easier for me? You think I have it easy? I think you're not the only one that has it hard, but you don't see us getting special breaks and second chances.
You think that getting advanced notes because I can't hear the lecture is some kind of special break? Professor Marillo: Okay! I think that should do it.
Time's up.
I don't remember what happened between us.
I don't remember You know.
(Scoffs) Damn.
I mean, we were both pretty drunk.
I know I was not loving life this morning myself.
And if I don't remember How do I know that I wanted it to happen? What are you saying? Well, some people say that if you're too drunk to remember, then that's not it's not it's just not okay.
Uh Are you accusing me of I'm just saying, if I was that drunk, maybe you shouldn't have What? Like, taken advantage of you? We were having a great time.
I was on the verge of throwing up! I was practically passed out.
You were not passed out.
- What do you take me for? - Well, I couldn't have been into it.
Why? Because you regret it today? - Hey! - People have drunk sex all the time.
It doesn't mean someone got attacked.
I'm not talking about anyone else.
I'm talking about us.
What happened with us.
You told me you still had feelings for me.
You told me you and Emmett were gonna break up.
- I did not.
- You kissed me.
What? You don't remember that either? (Rock music playing) - Oh, he's back.
- (Laughs) And I come bearing hydration.
Wait, you gotta see this.
Come here.
(Groans) (Sighs) Whoa.
Tank: Cool.
(Both laughing) You're so awesome.
You know that? Oh, why, thank you.
I think you're pretty awesome, too.
I should have given you more of a chance.
Yeah, well, I wholeheartedly agree.
I don't know what's gonna happen with me and Emmett.
Really? He's so far, and I'm so far.
We're both so far.
I never got over you.
You know that? Oh, Tank.
You're so beautiful.
(Giggling) Thanks.
Oh, wow.
(Laughs) I'm really drunk.
(Laughing) Me, too.
(Both laughing) (Rock music playing) I said we were having problems.
I did not say I wanted to get back together with you.
You were touching me.
I was falling asleep.
I wasn't undressing you, and I definitely didn't kiss you.
You kissed me, and I stopped you.
That is totally untrue.
(Rock music playing) He's back.
I come bearing hydration.
Oh, wait.
You gotta see this.
Come here.
Hmm? Whoa.
Oh.
Wow.
Tank: It's cool.
- Hey.
- Hmm? Thanks for being my friend tonight.
How come it didn't work out with us again? I don't know what's gonna happen with me and Emmett.
Really? He's so far, and I'm so far.
We're both just so far.
Huh.
I never got over you.
(Chuckles) You know that? Tank You're so beautiful.
Thanks.
I'm really drunk.
Me, too.
(Laughing) (Rock music playing) You did not push me away.
You were into it.
How do you know? Because I didn't black out.
And I'm just supposed to just believe that it happened the way you said it did? Bay If you had said, "no" at any point, I would have stopped.
Did I say, "yes"? (Scoffs) That's ridiculous.
What was I supposed to do? Stop at every single point and ask, "Do you want this? Do you want that?" No, no one does that.
One thing leads to another.
You're being crazy.
Do not call me crazy.
You seemed into it.
But if I don't remember it, how can that be okay? You woke up today all freaked out because you cheated on your boyfriend, but do not turn around and try to make what happened something that it wasn't.
We had sex, Bay.
It was not assault.
(Sighs) What the hell was that? Professor Marillo: This was an experiment.
And like all experiments, it began with a hypothesis.
What was the hypothesis? And don't anyone say a word about ice cream.
The hypothesis was that a room full of young scientists could come together to solve a problem.
I never told you that you had to work alone, but that's what each of you chose to do.
You saw everyone else in this room as a threat.
You squabbled, you refused to share innovation, you turned on each other.
You failed.
You're here tonight, because you're members of a pathetically small group in this country.
You are S.
T.
E.
M.
women.
What do I mean by S.
T.
E.
M.
? Science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics.
Professor Marillo: Thank you.
Now, if you want S.
T.
E.
M.
To continue to be dominated by men, as it has since Pythagoras, then by all means, you continue to do what you did tonight.
But If you'd like to see more than five girls in this room next year, then you change the conditions.
Be each other's allies.
Fortunately, I bought some backup ice cream.
Come into the kitchen.
We'll partake.
Eric: I'm not going to let you quit.
Because here's the thing, pal, practicing something every day, whether you want to or not, is how you get good at anything.
You gotta hit the slopes every day.
And those days that you don't want to do it, but you do it anyway? Those are the days that count the most.
Now go! Rock that lesson.
I'll see you tonight.
Sorry.
Kid hounded me to start trumpet lessons.
And then it got hard.
Yeah.
I really like what you had to say.
You're a good dad.
- Pebbles down the abyss.
- Oh.
So, what's this? I collected a bunch of vintage post cards, and I thought maybe we could shellac them into the tables.
That's cool.
Some of them are pretty amazing.
Like this one.
Miami, 1956.
We got ourselves a problem "Thinking of you every day.
Longing for you every night.
" Better than I solve 'em Nelson had it bad.
(Laughing) I believed I found a way around this And you think this Shellac will hold? We could use marine varnish.
That'll stand up to anything.
There's too much smoke to see it there's too much broke to feel this well, I love you, I love you and all of your pieces Hmm.
Okay.
I'm I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I know I'm giving mixed signals.
I want to make sure you're okay with this.
I am.
Because, well, if you regret it later I am not going to regret it.
There's too much smoke to see it We got about an hour before he's back from trumpet.
Wanna go upstairs? Oh, I merit going upstairs now? I didn't want to lose momentum last time.
But you're feeling a little more confident? Mm, you want to go upstairs or not? (Laughing) I do.
- It wasn't like that.
- Then why is she saying it? She has a boyfriend, and she wants to rewrite history so she doesn't feel bad.
Bay wouldn't do that.
Obviously something happened that she's not cool with.
What? Do you think I forced myself on her? I don't know what's going on.
All I know is that my sister just ran out of here looking really upset.
Well, talk to the 20 other people at that party who saw her flirting with me.
I don't want to talk to them.
I'm talking to you.
And I'm telling you what happened between us last night was consensual.
- You don't believe me? - I don't know.
You don't believe me.
Toby It's me.
She's my sister.
I see whose side you're gonna be on.
Look, there's no sides.
I wasn't there.
I don't know what happened.
I can't believe she's doing this.
I cannot believe this is happening.
It's like I'm in a nightmare! (Door slams) So, I guess if we managed to fight our way into science, we, too, could someday have a welcome mat of the periodic table.
I was just relieved there wasn't anything Star Trek.
R2-D2 soap dispenser in the bathroom.
(Laughing) Seriously? She's pretty cool, though.
Yeah, at first I thought she was just a hard-ass for the fun of it.
My mom wanted to be a physicist, but her dad shut it down.
Probably why she pushed me so hard.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Total tiger mom.
You don't want to know.
My mom pushed me, too.
The deaf thing? Never let it hold you back.
I shouldn't have said what I said back there.
That was really crappy.
I know it looks like I get a lot of extra help, but Can we just pretend it never happened? - Sure.
- Thank you.
So, is it okay if I work with Josh tomorrow night? You don't have to ask my permission.
I thought maybe you two had plans.
I just need him three nights a week, if that's okay.
I'm sure we can work out a custody arrangement.
(Laughing) Well, I'd better go.
- See you in class? - I'll be there.
(Knocking) Toby: Thanks for coming down.
I thought we agreed to talk tomorrow.
It's not about that.
Tonight was dumb.
We're totally right for each other.
I don't want us to break up.
I was thinking the same thing.
Good.
Something happened to Bay, and, um I need to figure out what to do.
Can we talk? Of course.
What is it? Hey! Hey.
You okay? Yeah, totally.
Bay, what's going on? I was drunk.
So what? Really drunk.
We both were.
Okay, but that doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants.
But neither of us were thinking straight.
Daphne, what if I said, "yes," but I don't remember it? Could you have? I don't know.
I don't know what happened exactly.
All I know is that when I woke up, I felt like something was wrong.
But is that crazy, going on intuition? No.
You have to trust yourself.
I guess.
Yeah.
So, what do you want to do? Just tell me what you want to do, and we'll do it.
I don't want to do anything.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I just want to forget about it.
Are you sure? Then that's what we'll do.
(Sighs) Okay, that's what we'll do.
It's over.
