Previously on "Switched at Birth"...
How's the baby?
You can stop competing for the father of the year award.
She's giving the kid up for adoption.
It's called Meniere's disease.
I've lost 60% of the hearing in my right ear.
Eventually... I could lose it all.
_
It's hard to explain.
_
And your boyfriend looked like he wanted to see a little less of me too.
Emmett's not my boyfriend.
We're having another one of these next week if you wanna swing by.
- Christian rock? - Issues with the big man?
No, just questions.
Daphne: Here's to being switched at birth,
and getting a food truck to compensate for the damages.
Hey, you're too young to be setting up shop by yourself.
I won't be alone. I'm going with Travis.
- Those tacos were good. - Thanks.
- (Both grunt) - C'mon, man! Let's go!
(Gasps)
_
(Footsteps)
I'm sorry. I thought you already went to school.
Is that a bruise on...
Uh, I just fell off my bike.
It looks really bad.
No, it just looks worse than it is.
You sure?
Yeah. What are those?
Oh. (Chuckles)
I was cleaning out my closet for the consignment shop
and I found all these sweaters.
I thought maybe you'd like them.
Wow! They're so pretty!
- Thank you. - Welcome.
(Chuckles)
I thought your bicycle chain was broken.
Oh, uh, nope. I fixed it.
Oh. Well, have a good day.
Buy a rose for the Drama Club.
Matthew. Hey. Buy a rose.
Show her how much you care.
Mmm.
The Drama Club thanks you two lovers.
Huh. Guilt is so romantic.
Hey hey! Buy a rose! Support the Drama... Club.
(Sighs)
So do you have a special someone this year?
_
You... you could send her a rose.
Withdrawn. (Chuckles)
_
We're just friends.
I think.
I'm just gonna lay low this year.
Just let it be another day. (Sighs)
_
Bay: Yeah, love those things.
_
-_ -_
_
This is for a fundraiser.
It is not by choice.
_
How is everything?
_
Yeah, uh, me too.
_
Always nail those timeline.
_
I know.
_
Uh, yeah, I was
in the neighborhood this one time.
I gotta get to class.

They're here! Fresh from Omaha!
I believe they're still mooing.
(Chuckles)
I guess at some point
we could do something different for Valentine's Day.
- Are we boring? - Sweetie,
I love our tradition. I live for this tradition.
Well, that's kinda sad.
Is it? Or is it...
(Softly) incredibly romantic?
- (Chuckles) - Cheesecake too?
There will be cheesecake.
Yes! Consider me seduced.
You will not see me till 8:00 P.M. this evening.
I have dinner with prospective donors,
but tomorrow night is completely campaign free
and I expect...
Sweetie?
Oh! I'm sorry.
I was just checking to see if Daphne texted me back.
- Something wrong? - Well, she had this big bruise on her side
and she said it's 'cause she fell off her bike,
but her bike is broken. I checked in the garage.
Well, maybe she broke her bike again, hence the bruise.
I don't know. I think she's lying.
That's why I'm worried.
Hmm. Do you remember when we were skiing in park city,
and I decided that I could take the advanced slope?
And you sprained both of your knees?
That is correct. I can sometimes be
a delightful combination
of daring and clumsy.
And Daphne is my daughter,
so I'm sure that she's fine.
And I will see you tonight
and I am loving the apron.
- (Chuckles) - (Door opens)
(Sighs)
- 'Sup, buddy? - And what are you supposed to be?
Some sort of Cupid. Just be glad I'm not wearing a diaper.
Yet another reason I think Valentine's Day is so stupid...
it revolves around a deranged baby with a weapon.
Such a waste of money and glitter.
Oh, I didn't realize you were so fond of glitter.
Last year I spent three weeks engraving
a leather banjo strap with my girlfriend's initials
and sunflowers on it. As I'm driving up to her house,
I get a text that says, "sorry, but I'm just not feeling it anymore."
Sometimes I really hate phones.
Yeah well, now I just put my angst into acting.
Wait, you're doing the play too?
Mm-hmm. I saw you were doing it,
so I thought, um...
and now I'm Romeo.
What? Wherefore art thou, dude?
I know. It's crazy.
I think there were four hearing guys
and five speaking parts.
So they were a little desperate, obviously.
Don't forget me when you're the next James Franco.
You know, February 14th is Oregon's birthday.
- Little known fact. - How wrong you are.
I make it a point to know every state's birthday.
- Mm-hmm. - I just never know what to get them.
I'll probably just stay in and watch "Game of Thrones."
Nothing says Valentine's Day
like some gnarly decapitations.
Hmm. Sounds awesome.
_
-_ -_
_
- Nikki: So I will see you tomorrow? - Toby: Of course.
- Okay. - (Soft rock music playing)
- * Yeah... * - (Inhales sharply)
I kinda wanna kiss you forever.
I'd like that.
All right, I gotta go, but to be continued.
Wait. I have something for you.
- (Rustles) - What is this?
- It's really no big deal. - What, a Valentine's Day gift?
It's more of a three-month anniversary type thing.
It was three months ago from yesterday that we first...
- This is... - ... Played together, so...
It's totally sappy, I know.
No no, it's the sweetest gift
I've ever gotten. Thank you.
I kept it... not to be creepy or anything,
- but to... - I love you.
(Inhales sharply)
(Chuckles) Let's just pretend that didn't happen.
I meant I... love it.
(Chuckles) Sorry.
* You are the girl that's been running around *
* in my dreams. *
This one has a nine-year-old daughter.
The woman's a fifth-grade teacher,
- the man's a pilot. - They look nice.
They raise golden retrievers and they have a lake house.
Okay, I don't wanna see any more until I've...
and this one is in Denver. They've tried surrogates,
- fertility treatments, Russian orphans. - Lana, stop.
They've been trying to have a family for 10 years,
- and they even made a video for us and... - Stop!
I'm not ready to sign my rights away
until I think this through, okay?
Fine.
I can't raise this kid.
And from everything I've heard about you, neither can you.
Just... sign it, okay?
Do the right thing.
Sign it.
(Footsteps)
How bad do you think it would be
if I just made everyone in the play
watch this version of "Romeo and Juliet"
with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes
and just said "do that"?
They're just so darn good.
There's a whole lot of cow in here.
How did it go today?
Well, let's just say unless you're five,
wearing a costume to school is never a good idea.
Also learned... olympic archery officially off the table.
Hmm.
Gotcha! (Laughs)
(Inhales deeply) Now you're gonna fall in love
- with the first person you see. - Can that person be Greek yogurt?
'Cause that's all that's happening right now.
- What's going on with Emmett? - (Sighs)
- (Spoon clatters) - I told him I just wanna be friends.
And he said he couldn't, because being just friends is too hard.
Oh...
And then there's this other guy,
but he's made it clear that he'd pretty much rather do anything
instead of hang out with me. (Sighs)
I'm sure that's not true, honey.
What's incredible is
I actually used to really like this holiday.
Why don't you have some friends over here?
I don't think so.
No, we can make chocolate-covered strawberries
and count the little candies in the jar,
pin the wing on the cherub.
Mom, let's put the kibosh on this. I'm meeting Angelo.
Wait. You're talking with Angelo again?
Sort of. I don't know. I gotta go.
(Traffic sounds)
(Engine starts)
Hey, do you guys do burritos or...
- are you okay? - Yeah. I'm sorry,
we're closed for the evening.
(Crying)
(Clicks)
_
Angelo: I really love these old movies.
Me too.
So what's happening with Lana?
Is she putting the baby up for adoption still?
(Sighs) Every time we try to talk about it,
all we manage to do is fight.
Well, you guys should stop talking about it.
Just hang out, try to get to know each other again.
So what about you?
Any plans for Valentine's?
(Laughs) My mom suggested I have some people over,
which isn't the worst idea in the world.
But if we do it at my house, then she's gonna be matchmaking
and trying to get everybody to decorate cookies
and I'm trying to make friends at this point,
- not traumatize them. - (Chuckles)
Well, you could do it at my place.
Are we talking, like, unsupervised?
Kidding! Trick question. You passed.
I will be there chaperoning,
but you'll barely know I was there.
Your apartment is pretty sweet.
Please, it will be my pleasure.
(Police radio chatter)
(Breathes heavily) Are you okay?
I'm fine. They just got some money. That's it.
- (Sighs) - It's really not that big a deal.
Thank you so much.
_
Okay, Miss Vasquez. If you could follow me this way.
Daphne: When my friend was taking the trash out,
the guy who first came up to the counter came back.
So he was about six feet, dark brown hair?
Yes.
Does she need a signing person?
I mean, I think we're supposed to provide one.
No. I'm fine.
Okay, any distinguishing characteristics?
Facial hair, scars, moles?
I don't think so. He came up to order more tacos.
And when I turned around, the second guy was taking the cash box,
- and so I tried to grab it back from him... - Wait.
- ... and he pushed... - You tried to grab it back?
- Why would you do that? - I don't know.
I wasn't thinking straight.
Daphne, do not ever fight over money.
I know. I... I'm sorry.
I have a question... what were two deaf kids
doing out at night by themselves anyway?
What should they do?
Sit inside a locked house for the rest of their lives?
I don't know. It just sounds pretty unsafe to me.
- What's your name? - Mom, please.
I want your name and your badge number.
- I want to speak to your supervisor. - Mom, stop.
- I don't even care. - I care how he talks to you.
If you just let me talk, we'll all be out of here soon.
I just found out last night.
Why didn't you call us the minute you found out?
- I don't know. I didn't think of it. - You didn't think of it?
- We're her parents. - I'm her parent.
- Wait a second, so are we. - We're her parents too.
And did you get her to a doctor? Somebody has to look at that bruise.
- Where is she right now? - School, and yes, I made an appointment.
Did they dust for fingerprints? Do you have any idea who did this?
Who took care of you down at the precinct?
I don't remember, but I have it written down.
Regina, you should've called me. I know people down there.
I have to go. If I hear something, I will let you know.
- (Door closes) - After all we've done for her,
I cannot believe she's treating us like this.
I'll tell you one thing... Daphne is never taking that truck out again.
We're her parents too. I mean...
Oh my God, I sound like a broken record.
(Sighs)
- Angelo: Hi. - Hey.
(Chattering)
Macchiato, extra foam.
- Decaf of course. - How do you know what I drink?
- Rome. - Rome.
- Right. - (Both chuckle)
So things have gotten so ugly,
I thought it would be a good idea for us
to just sit down and talk about something else,
anything else, except...
(Breathes deeply)
- Okay. - So I'm chaperoning a party tonight
for Bay and her friend from school.
- Oh no. - Yes, exactly.
So I was wondering if you can come over and help me.
I would rent "Roman Holiday"
and we could do a do-over.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Or no movie. We could just hang out,
continue not yelling at each other.
Unless you have other plans.
Hey, honey. We heard about what happened.
Why didn't you tell us?
I guess I just didn't want you to worry.
That's our job.
I'm so sorry we weren't at the police station.
- We should've been, - It's okay.
And that bruise... I want you to see my doctor.
No, it's getting better. It doesn't hurt.
I'm fine. I promise.
Okay. (Sighs)
Hey, are you going to Bay's party tonight?
Yeah, I'll probably stop by.
Wait. Could you do me a favor
and text me on the way there and back?
You're such an independent kid,
and I love you for that,
but I really think
we should be checking in a little more.
Okay?
Sure.
Thanks.
Bay: So there's gonna be food and music
and absolutely no couples dancing.
And I'm calling it "all the single people."
It's a working title.
_
(Chuckles, inhales sharply)
I know that you hate Valentine's Day,
but this is sort of an anti-that.
- Sure, maybe I'll swing by. - Sounds good.
Hey. So I'm having this single people's party thing
at Angelo's tonight. You should come by.
I'm sorry. Is this weird?
Am I not even supposed to be asking?
Because I thought that we...
_
Oh. (Scoffs) Yeah, of course. Duh.
_
Yeah.
(Sighs)
- Regina: Hey. - Hey.
Any word from the precinct?
They're still investigating.
I came by to grab some paperwork from the truck.
They need it. Where is the truck, by the way?
- I sold it. - I don't understand.
I have a friend with a used dealership.
- I got a great price. - You sold the truck without discussing it with me?
I'm discussing it with you right now.
I don't know if this was meant to put me in my place or what...
It was a practical decision, Regina.
I mean, come on. What's it gonna take,
Daphne crashing that thing into a tree
for us all to wake up and do something?
The truck had to go. End of story.
You just bulldoze in...
John Kennish, who knows what's best for everyone.
I'd say you know a thing or two about bulldozing.
Nothing has changed since the day we met,
has it? (Scoffs)
(Sighs) I can't believe I am officially old enough to chaperone.
(Chuckles) I hate to break it to you,
- but you're old enough to be a mother, so... - I know.
- (Door closes) - Hey.
- Hey.
Don't touch the roses. I just spray-painted them.
Well, happy Valentine's Day.
(Sighs)
- Or un-Valentine's Day. - Lana is helping me to host.
Angelo, I cannot thank you enough
for letting me have this here.
Quick question for you... are your neighbors the cool kind
or the calling-in-a-noise-violation kind?
- I don't know. Why? - 'Cause deaf people like their music loud.
Like, really loud.
(Sighs)
Please let people come. Please let people come.
Hmm.
- Hey. - Hi there.
So Bay's throwing this party
and is worried that not that many people are gonna show up,
so I was thinking we could swing by there
- before dinner, if that's cool. - Sure.
Sounds good. I don't really care what we do.
I mean, if you don't want to go to dinner, we don't have to.
I love you too.
Really?
Yeah.
(Inhales deeply, hums)
I was so worried that I completely freaked you out.
(Both laugh)
You didn't. I've been thinking about saying it for a while.
(Chuckles)
Oh, I got you something.
I got it on this really awesome missions trip to Guatemala.
Some, like, 100-year-old man handmade it.
I love it. And I love you.
Still. From one minute ago.
But it's kinda fun to say, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- (Chuckles) - (Hard rock music playing)
People will arrive, I hope.
Oh, having fun?
Hey! Thank you guys so much for coming.
You don't have to stay too long.
Honestly, you're just filler at this point.
Well, we're happy to help.
- Do you want a drink? - Sure.
- Kitchen. - Okay.
(Chuckles)
Why did I do this? I hate throwing parties.
This is gonna be just like my seventh-grade birthday
when everybody went to Jessica Hind's pool party instead of mine.
People will show up.
I'm sure everyone's just fashionably late.
- It's only been an hour. - One of my least favorite things that humans do.
Did you get born again in the past 12 hours?
Oh, I didn't notice that. Nikki gave it to me.
(Sighs)
This is so dumb. I was kinda hoping
to kiss someone tonight.
At your party for single people?
I haven't been kissed in months.
- So you and Zara never... - No.
I don't know. She kinda gave off that vibe.
- No. - (Door closes)
* Better run, run away... *
This party is officially looking up.
- Hey. - Hey.
Glad you could tear yourself away from Oregon.
It's the 154th birthday. It'll have others.
So, coats go in the bedroom.
There are assorted snacks in the kitchen.
There's a flask of contraband in Matthew's backpack,
though that may just be a rumor.
Cool. (Chuckles)
And, of course, abiding by the rules of the single people's party,
there will be no hooking up whatsoever.
Definitely not. We're all just friends here.
I'm gonna go grab a drink.
(Sighs)
- (Vacuum stops) - Even for him, it's bad.
The most presumptuous, aggressive...
"I don't give a damn about you or anyone else."
- You're not saying anything. - I'm listening.
He sold her food truck without asking me.
- I heard. - And Kathryn coming at me like that.
"Why didn't you tell us? Why haven't you taken her to the doctor?"
And then jumping on me because I didn't use
their connections at the police station.
It will always come down to that for them...
that they could've done better because they have more money.
I am sick of it... damn sick of it.
I have heard you talk about a lot of people,
but not the most important one...
- Daphne. - Of course I am worried about Daphne.
I'm just telling you what happened with the truck.
You're all focused on who did what, who's in charge,
who's a better parent. Daphne got attacked.
Why don't you just stop fighting with them
- and worry about her? - You are always taking their side.
I'm not taking their side.
- I'm taking Daphne's side. - (Sighs)
(Door closes)
So how did it go with the producer?
It was pretty sick, actually.
Yeah, we're just waiting to see how the rough mix turns out.
Angelo set us up with a guy who produced
a bunch of the Flaming Lips' albums.
Awesome.
Toby's a really great guy.
Way better than the guys I dated when I was your age.
(Chuckles)
So have you been thinking about names?
I've been thinking about adoption actually,
so that really wouldn't be my decision to make.
Well, nothing has really been decided.
It's something we've been considering.
Well, either way, it's crazy how it's all worked out.
I mean, you got a second chance.
It's like it's all meant to be.
Yeah. That's one way to look at it.
I will be praying for a safe birth.
God will have his hands on it.
And also the doctor.
God will have his hands on him too.
- Or her. - (Chuckles)
Here's hoping.
* Can't take my love from me *
* not if I'm dragged across the continents... *
Hey, I heard about what happened.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Yeah, I totally wish I would've gone with you that night.
Why, because you're hearing?
You would've automatically saved the day?
Hey, Daphne. I want you to meet Lana.
Hey. It's nice to meet you.
- Lana, this is Daphne. - (Door opens)
Uh, excuse me.
_
(Exhales sharply)
_
Hey, did you see Regina today?
No, I haven't.
I've been avoiding her. Or she's been avoiding me.
It's kind of a mutual avoidance.
Yeah well, she dropped by the car wash today.
I told her that I sold the food truck.
Needless to say, she was not very pleased.
Wait. You sold the food truck?
- Are you serious? - Yes.
- Without checking with me? - Why is everybody tearing this apart?
- It was the right thing to do. - It doesn't matter!
- You can't just swoop in and take over to fix things. - I wasn't just swooping in.
- I've been going over and over in my head... - I'm trying to protect her.
- I'm not gonna apologize for that. - "What did we do wrong?
- Why didn't she tell us?" And now I get it! - You get what?
You are driving her away!
She doesn't tell us things, important things,
- because you do things like this! - That is absolutely ridiculous.
I wanna get close to her and every time I build a bridge,
it gets washed away when you behave like this!
(Keys scrape, jingle)
Happy Valentine's Day.
- You too! - (Door opens)
One minute I'm sure that he likes me,
and then the next he's treating me
like some distant cousin.
_
Huh. I'm in.
* Like I'm your only *
* make me want... *
Uh, sorry. Hold on one second.
Noah.
I can't hear anything.
- What do you mean? - I can't hear what you're saying to me.
Okay, can... can I help? Can I do anything?
- No no no, just leave me alone, okay? - What? Noah!
* Tried to get me off your back... *
Okay.
* But I know you, oh *
* I know you, oh *
* go ahead and say goodbye *
* tell me I'll be fine... *
_
Thought you had plans.
_
(Chuckles) I'm really glad that you're here.
_
(Chuckles) Yeah, sure.
_
* Honey honey, why you gotta be so cruel? *
(Rock music playing)
- Hey. - (Chuckles) Oh. Daphne.
Yeah.
We were at the state fair.
She was obsessed with petting the farm animals.
She was a vegetarian before she even knew what it was.
When you found out that she wasn't yours...
that must've been hard for you.
It was.
I cannot lose that second chance.
Angelo, it is a big deal to raise a kid.
No, I know, but I can do it.
I would get help. I will give you as much time
or as little time as you want with her.
But in my heart, I know I'm the one who should raise her.
(Rock music playing)
- Oh, hey there. - Hey yourself.
Man, Angelo has got a pretty sweet collection.
Sometimes I wish he was my dad...
but not that often.
- Mmm. - (Chuckles)
Hey, do you wanna get outta here?
- Go somewhere more private? - Sure.
* Walk the floor *
* but somehow end up at your door *
* and you refuse to let me in... *
It's happening more and more lately.
- Just have to ride it out. - Well, if this music gets any louder,
then we're all gonna go deaf, so... (Chuckles)
- Yeah, it's way too loud. - Let's just sign instead.
- (Sighs) - Hey.
Can you turn that down?
_
Because it's too loud in here.
_
Hey, this is Bay's party, okay?
_
- (Volume increases) - (Music stops)
Okay, Noah, stop. It's no big deal.
What? You... you want this?
_
I'm not going to give it back,
'cause it was too loud in here.
- Okay, Travis, stop. - What's going on?
You know what? I am sick of you people.
We're trying. I'm trying.
_
I can make fun of you too.
I could say
that you sound like a freaking seal
when you talk, but I don't.
_
S-e-a-l.
You sound like a freaking seal.
Nobody is perfect, so give me a break.
(Women gasp)
- (People shouting) - Oh my... stop them!
Tell them to stop! No!
(Grunting)
- Noah! No, stop! - No! Just stop it!
No! Travis, stop!
Break it up! (Grunts) Stop!
Enough. Enough.
So are you... are you okay?
Umm... actually, no.
What happened?
I believe with my whole self
that there is a God
and that he has his hands on my life.
- I know. - And I would never wanna force you
to be someone you're not
or to believe in something you don't.
Nikki, I love that you believe that.
But you don't share it with me.
No, but I... I respect it.
I just don't know if that's enough.
What are you saying?
It's just gonna hurt us even more if we don't end it now.
Are you serious?
I'm sorry.
* I can't say I didn't try... *
(Crying)
* And I'm a heart of golden faith... *
(Sighs deeply)
(Door opens)
- Hey. - Hi.
- Where's John? - I'm not sure.
He told me about the truck and I wasn't very happy about it either.
He should've consulted you... and me.
Thank you. But, you know, that's how we felt
when you didn't tell us about Daphne being assaulted.
(Sighs)
I wasn't consciously trying to leave you out.
I guess I just worried that she didn't tell me the night it happened
because I haven't been signing. She told Melody first.
Oh, Regina.
I'm sure she just didn't know how to tell you.
Maybe. Is this ever gonna get easier?
(Chuckles) Probably not.
(Sighs)
(Door closes)
I bought the truck back.
- Thank you. - Don't get me wrong.
I still wanna get rid of it,
but I think we should talk about it together...
as a unit.
- (Sighs) - I think we should sell it.
Me too.
- Unbelievable. - (Women chuckle)
Musical food trucks.
(Door opens, closes)
I really am sorry.
You should be.
(Silverware clinks)
(Crickets chirping)
_
- (Car approaches) - (Sighs)
_
(Car door opens)
(Footsteps approach)
- (Exhales) - Angelo didn't have
any ice or anything.
So this quiche will have to suffice.
Thanks.
I'm so sorry.
I force you to come to my party
and you get decked.
No, I... (Chuckles)
I deserved it.
I was just pissed off and I took it out on him.
It's this whole, uh, losing-my-hearing thing.
I'm not really taking it that well.
Well, how else are you supposed to take it?
- (Sighs) - Okay, far be it from me
to bug the guy who's just been slugged,
but you have kind of been all over the map with me
and I can't really figure it out.
I heard there was some...
epic romance with you and Emmett last year.
Bay and Emmett, Bay and Emmett, you know.
- (Sighs) - You asked around about me.
You even had a name... eBay.
- (Snickers) I hadn't heard that. - (Chuckles)
I like you.
- But I'm not really up to be used or... - (Thuds)
(Both chuckle)
Sorry. I went in too fast and...
Try that again.
* No one else *
* gets me like you do... *
Happy Oregon's birthday.
We should really get together on another state's birthday.
- Mm-hmm. - North Dakota?
- South Dakota. - You never hear anything about South Dakota.
- Nothing. Not one word. - (Laughs)
