Previously on "Switched at Birth"...
I just got out of a meeting with
the builder for the restaurant.
It'll be another 350k each.
Are you kidding?
You won $5 million in a lawsuit...
where did it all go?
I kept thinking I'd turn it around.
And I will with this restaurant.
Guys like Coto work the system
and trade favors. It makes me sick.
Senator Coto, there's a reporter
from the "Star" out here waiting to talk to you.
I'm supposed to pick some pieces to show this Pratt recruiter.
Whatever can make you stand out is valuable.
I was thinking about applying to schools
- that have a strong pre-med program. - Pre-med.
Toby left us this note on his way to the airport.
- Iceland. - Iceland?
The crew that Nacho runs with,
they can do a lot more than throw
bricks through your window.
- I got my job back. - On the East Riverside project?
Are you determined to get yourself hurt?
Why don't you come to the shooting range?
I'll show you how to protect yourself.
Absolutely not!
I think I'm being followed.
There's a man in the parking lot,
where I work. I think he's waiting for me.
I would like to take you up on your offer.
I want you to teach me how to shoot.
Hello?
Oh, no.
What? What is it?
There's been an accident.

_
You're pulling to the left.
Just breathe out first.
Nice!
Are you sure you haven't
done this before?
I never wanna do it again.
You can't be afraid of it.
It's just a tool.
That is a deadly weapon.
It's a means of self-defense.
If you've got one of these,
no one's gonna mess with you.
You just keep it locked,
and you're always the one in control.
Have you ever used yours?
No, but there's been
a few times where I'm glad I had it.
I'll keep it at work,
but it's never coming home with me.
Well, there you go.
Permit's inside.
This is only till we're done with East Riverside.
Oh, yeah, I booked a dinner with a member of
the fourth city council district.
I want you to come with me.
Okay, when?
Tonight.
What?
You suddenly remembered
you needed the latina?
You're my partner on the project.
You make the case for the community
better than I ever could.
And, frankly, I could use the company.
Okay. Fine.
Good.
Let's get the mockups.
I'll meet you at K&D.
Okay.
Oh, my God. Pratt.
_
Hallo?! Eg er komin heim.
In Icelandic that means
"hello, I'm home!"
Wow, hi!
John, we're back!
How was it?
It was exactly what I needed.
Awesome.
I think I like the scruff?
Thank you.
Does he look skinny to you?
How are you?
A-okay.
This is unacceptable!
I wanna talk to Christy.
Tell... tell her to call me tonight.
Thanks.
Have you seen my S.A.T. study book?
I... I think it was on the table.
No, I had it with me when I went down to the clinic.
Oh, I hope I didn't leave it there.
Sorry. Sorry.
Worse traffic ever.
Have you seen my S.A.T. book?
The one that's been attached to your face all week?
Yeah, I can't find it,
and it has all my practice tests, all my notes.
All right, all right. Let's look around.
It's gotta be here.
I think...
I think we all need a break.
How about I makes us dinner tonight?
Oh, sorry.
Wes just asked me to join him
at some dinner with some city councilwoman.
Does this guy ever take a night off?
I know, but it's really important.
Okay, but... we need to talk.
What is it?
Knock knock.
Hey, guess who just got back from Iceland?
Toby's home?
Yeah.
Let's go say hi, come on.
Here he is!
Look at the world traveler.
Oh, wow, the whole welcoming committee.
Welcome home.
Look at your hair.
But seriously, what's on your face?
Was it fun?
Wasn't it cold?
You know, there wasn't a whole lot of daylight,
but I still had a blast.
That's my boy.
You can tell us all about it at dinner tonight.
Everybody is invited.
I have no idea what time zone I'm in,
but dinner sounds great.
Excellent. I'm gonna fire up the grill.
Unfortunately, I have a work thing.
But I can stop by tomorrow.
And I'll be there as soon as I find
my stupid S.A.T. book.
Ah, the "sadistic act of torture."
It's tomorrow.
And she is completely obsessed
with this magic book.
Well, it has all the practice tests.
- See? - Let's go to the clinic.
I'll help you look for it.
Are you sure you don't mind?
No problem. We can solve this.
Angelo moved in.
Oh. Wow. Well, uh...
welcome to the compound.
- Thanks. - All right.
I've gotta go get ready. Welcome back.
Thanks.
- Bye. - Good to see you.
- You too, man. - See you. Bye.
Well, looks to me like we're gonna have an old-time
Kennish party then.
Um, I actually...
gotta go start this English lit thing.
Bay, come on. Stay with us.
You're gonna be at art school soon.
I mean, how many of these times
do we get together?
Kennish party it is.
Okay, I had it at the desk.
Um, should I look upstairs?
No, I wasn't up there.
Where is it?
Hey.
Why are you taking this test again?
I thought you had a good score.
I need an incredible score
if I'm gonna get in to one of these premed programs.
You've been studying so hard.
Maybe it's time to take a rest.
But I keep making mistakes.
I go over it and I go over it...
What is this?
What's going on?
My mom and grandma
and John and Kathryn
keep bragging about what a great doctor I'm gonna be.
But what if I can't even get in?
What if I let everyone down?
You're not gonna let us down.
You need to get out of your head.
It's like me with my golf swing.
Just let go and forget everything.
It's not here.
I'm totally screwed.
I have an idea.
Come.
Where are we going?
Just trust me, come.
So this is the brand-new music hall in Reykjavik.
- Who's that? - Uh, that's Hallfridur.
She worked at this coffee shop
that I spent a lot of time at.
Oh, so you made some friends.
Uh, yeah. A few.
Oh, and this is a waterfall
I found just while I was driving.
It's like one beautiful thing after another.
And not another human being for miles in any direction.
Sounds kinda lonely.
It wasn't.
Or it was, but in a good way.
I mean,
after all the stuff with Nikki...
Um,
just kinda felt like I found myself again.
That's great, honey.
Maybe I need to go to Iceland.
Oh, this.
This was the most unbelievable night.
So all these tour groups go out to try to find
the northern lights.
I went out by myself, couldn't find anything.
And I'm on my way back,
see this bus on the side of the road,
ask the guy, "hey, you looking for the northern lights?"
He says, "look up." And...
You made a video?
That's amazing.
It's actually time lapsed.
It's a lot slower in real life,
but even more beautiful.
Look at that green.
Viking legend is that the lights were valkyries,
these virgin goddesses that would
take the spirits of the fallen warriors up to heaven.
So are the valkyries responsible
for this weird techno-pop we're listening to right now?
Uh, actually, I put that together.
Oh.
Wait, that's you?
Yeah, there's this whole DJ scene over there.
You know, I tried it one night,
and it was so much fun.
Country kinda opened me up.
So, how's the stuff with you?
I mean, with your hand.
Oh, uh... heh.
Never better.
I actually need to get started
on this English lit thing,
- so, uh... - Oh, yeah yeah.
- Go, honey. - Thank you.
Okay, what's up?
I didn't get into Pratt.
What?
How is that even possible?
Apparently I'm unexceptional.
That's crazy.
Did you tell mom and dad?
I just got the letter.
They sent the e-mail on Monday
and it went to spam,
so, you know,
my whole world ended four days ago,
and I didn't even know it.
Bay, your world did not end.
It was one place.
They don't get to say what you are.
The only person that gets to say that
you're an artist is you.
I'll be sure to put that on my job application at the Coffee Palace.
Oh, come on.
Where's your valkyrie spirit?
Hey.
You need to get angry.
You need to prove to them that they're wrong.
Don't you think they're wrong?
I don't know.
Of course they're wrong! Pratt sucks!
Pratt needs to feel the wrath of hammer girl.
You with me?
Grr.
Well, that's a start.
Come on.
Get up.
"Come on," what?
We are gonna do some street art.
Okay, I'm glad that Iceland was great for you,
and maybe if I went there, I'd feel that way too,
- but... - Bay, you don't have Iceland.
You have hammer girl.
And me.
Welcome to my restaurant.
_
Is all of this new?
You're the first one to cook here.
Ohh.
It's like walking on fresh snow.
I know.
I guess I could take a little study break.
But, uh, what should we make?
Every summer growing up my whole family
used to go to this little village in Brittany.
There's this house on the beach.
Must be in my family for...
how do you sign "generations"?
So, every Sunday
my grandmother used to make this lemon cake...
It was like a little slice of heaven.
I got her to tell me the recipe,
but every time I make it, it's...
Paradise lost.
Nice.
Maybe it's the flour.
It's different over there.
No, I ordered the flour. Even got the best French butter.
Something else.
Well, we have enough for five cakes?
- I think so. - Good.
We'll keep track of all the different variations.
Can you take notes?
I am your sous-chef.
This is gonna be fun.
And then after, it's back to the book hunt.
Definitely.
Stop what you're doing. I have a new idea.
- Uh, okay. - Okay.
So that whole thing you said about the valkyries
taking the warriors up to heaven...
those amazing lights... well, that's exactly
what were gonna do with this.
Mom's old snow projector?
We're gonna cut out some wave patterns
to put over the lenses, and then we're gonna drizzle
stained glass paint onto the plexiglas.
Oh, or maybe colored cellophane.
I don't know yet. Anyway, we're gonna turn on the lights,
and then the shapes are gonna create this, like,
moving, dancing light pattern.
The northern lights.
Bringing the magic back home.
I'm in!
Great. Okay. You cut you some shapes,
I will sketch them.
Hey, you guys.
Dad's bringing out the karaoke machine,
so...
Uh, what's going on?
Uh...
We were just seeing if this old thing still worked.
My snow projector?
Yeah, you know, to... to go along with my...
"Weird techno music."
It's not for him, it's for me.
I'm doing an art piece.
And it kinda might be borderline illegal,
but it is gonna be totally beautiful.
And nothing's gonna get damaged,
and I promise we will be safe.
I'm gonna have to tell your dad that...
We're all going for ice cream.
"We"?
Do you know how many fundraisers
I organize to support the arts?
This is way more fun.
I'll drive. Shh.
Gotta love the new Kathryn Kennish.
Damn, she beat us.
How do I look?
Ready for battle.
Oh, wait, hold on.
Thanks.
Tammy, great to see you.
Finally figured out I had to get here
20 minutes early if I was gonna beat you.
Ha, you're on to me.
Regina Vasquez, Tammy Brenawicz,
fourth district city council.
It's an honor to meet you, Councilwoman.
Oh, Tammy, please.
I hope you don't mind, but I invited
a new member of the chamber of commerce,
and he's got a great deal of interest in your project.
Chip Coto. Great to meet you.
And you.
I wish you'd warn me about your partner, Wes.
She's a stunner.
She's my secret weapon.
Ha...
Sit, please.
Oh.
Thank you.
So, by the end of summer, Thursdays had become like a support group
for all the moms that were trying to move up.
I would do hair for job interviews,
Anjelica would do resumes.
I always say you can't keep a latina down.
You see, that is what I love about East Riverside.
That fighting spirit, everybody coming together.
And that's what we wanna preserve as we move forward.
Working with local government to protect low-income housing.
We love cooperation. That's why I came to Tammy,
to forge alliances with businesses that
love progress as much as we do.
You've been working with Cutler Construction in Denver, is that right?
- Past few projects, yeah. - Think about this.
65% of all commercial development in K.C.
This year alone.
That's what Frontier Construction's done with us.
You know what you get with that kind of volume?
Ease.
They know us, we know them.
Gets all that paperwork right to the top of the pile.
Doors open on command.
Actually, I'm sorry.
I think I left my phone in your car.
Sorry, I need to keep in touch with my family.
Of course.
There you go.
Actually, can you come with?
I don't wanna set off that alarm again.
Sure. Excuse us.
Hey, what is going on?
I'm sorry to pull the ripcord,
but that chamber of commerce guy...
my daughter worked with him at the Senate office.
She found out he was sleeping with his intern.
And?
And...
She kind of got him fired.
Wait, what?
Technically he resigned.
After she blackmailed him.
Are you kidding me?
The guy is a total sleaze.
And I don't know what he's trying to pull with
this whole construction company thing.
He looking for a kickback and so is Tammy.
That's what I thought.
We gotta get out of this.
Not if we want our project to happen.
But that's illegal.
It's how things get done, Regina.
Do you think that he recognized you?
I don't think so.
Okay. Good.
Wait, what are you gonna do?
You gonna go back in there and close this deal?
Do you wanna take a stand
or do you wanna make things better for East Riverside?
I want things to be legal.
Well, that's a gray area.
If certain things aren't said out loud,
technically we're okay.
If that's what you need to tell yourself.
Ooh, hot hot hot hot hot.
Looks good.
This one's ready.
So, uh...
Nana put pine nuts on top, like flowers.
Aww.
Get to it.
Oui, chef.
What was she like?
Nana?
Little French widow, this high,
dressed in black, but crazy.
She used to ride around
in a scooter, and yell at all the nuns
if they were in her way.
"Allez, allez les vieilles, on dégage, on dégage !"
I'd love to see it someday.
I've never been out of the country.
No?
We go. Next summer.
All of us.
Yeah?
What is it?
It's my grandmother's cake.
Really?
Oh, my God, you... you did it.
It's like a time machine.
Yes!
Which one is that?
Oh.
Um...
Wait, maybe...
Maybe this one. I'm not sure.
Angelo, you were supposed to be taking notes!
Well, this is not my talent.
You are the science one.
- You agreed... - Look...
The point of all this...
when you are not thinking about it,
you totally got it. Right?
Stop trying to make this about the S.A.T.
and give me some of that cake.
You're gonna do great on this test.
Just let go and swing.
I have to take this.
Hey, Christy...
_
Wait, did you get the gobos?
Yeah, they're in the trunk.
Okay, you guys get started. I'll sweep the perimeter.
- Okay? - Check.
Text us if you see any five-O.
I thought we were doing street slang.
Can you scope out a power source?
I got like 100 feet of cord in here.
Okay. Look for the five-O,
scope out the juice.
I can't wait to tell Renzo about this.
Why are we so worried about cops?
It's not like we're doing anything wrong.
Uh, unless you count trespassing.
You could pick a place a little bit more under the radar?
That's the point. It's an art center.
Showing the established powers-that-be
that I will not be defeated or excluded.
- I am a valkyrie! - Great, so, if we
run into any security, we'll just vanquish them.
Or call dad.
There you are, my beautiful blank canvas.
You know, it really is a bummer about you and Tank.
I recommend international travel.
I, uh, actually already...
got back together with Emmett.
The whole thing was kind of a mess.
Uh, go ahead and judge.
No, as long as there's not a lifetime commitment involved,
I think you're doing all right.
Ah, I appreciate that. Hold this.
Hey, guys, I found it!
Way to be low-key, mom.
There's an electric vehicle charging station
right around the corner.
Sweet.
Shh.
You ready?
Bay's first showcase at the Kauffman.
All right, shall we count it off?
On three.
One, two, three.
Let there be light!
Well, this has been great.
We'll get those contracts over,
and you and Frontier can get started.
You know, I think I'm gonna stick with my company.
They've been good to me.
We'd love to meet with them.
See what we can work out.
That won't be necessary.
We're sorry to hear that.
You know, I understand there's been some
community tension about this project...
acts of vandalism, threats of violence?
A few minor incidents, nothing we can't handle.
Volatile situation like that,
you never know what can happen.
I'd hate to see you guys get hung up in delays.
Well, that's a risk we're willing to take.
Thanks very much for your time, guys.
I'll keep in touch.
Keep him away from your interns.
So...
Maybe we could try the country club.
There's that wall by the tennis courts.
Oh, dad's got a generator at the car wash.
- I'll go grab it. - Guys, it's not happening.
The piece failed; It's over.
You were so excited.
Honey, don't give up because of one setback.
It's... it's all part of the creative process.
I'm sorry, mom,
but when did you become such an expert
on the creative process?
Well, maybe writing isn't the same as visual arts...
Mom, you're not a writer, not a real one.
Bay.
I see.
Good luck with your project.
Mom, I...
Nice.
Mom, wait!
I don't care if you're upset
about your art piece, you have no right
- to talk to me like that. - I know, I know.
And you know what? Excuse me.
I am a writer.
I have one book published and another one...
what am I even defending myself to you?!
I'm sorry.
This isn't about the art piece.
What is it then?
Uh, guys, I think we have a little bit of a situation here.
All we said is that we didn't wanna use
their construction company.
How screwed are we?
We made it pretty clear he doesn't wanna be our friend.
You think it's because he recognized me?
It wouldn't have mattered if we were willing to cut him a deal.
Like I said,
it's how things get done.
Why not this time?
I didn't wanna lose your respect.
Really?
Plus, I don't need your teenage daughter
trying to blackmail me.
Well, thank you
for the crash course in political corruption.
My pleasure.
Looks like we'll be taking the hard road.
Oh, I've been down it many times, my friend.
Drive safe.
You too.
Damn it.
Yeah, looks like it's family trespassing night.
10-4.
Uh, excuse me. I'm afraid there's been some misunderstanding.
My name is, uh, Kathryn Dixon...
and I represent these artists.
The Hallfridur twins.
- They are the artists in residence - _
at the Deaf Art Institute in Reykjavik.
_
- _ - Well, I, uh...
I don't have anything
down about this.
The light installation?!
We set it up months ago.
Well, I'm afraid I'm just gonna have to call
Gary Kleinhoffer from the board.
I'm sure we can settle this
without calling Mr. Kleinhoffer.
Wait, I think he's at some kind of benefit.
Gary, hello, hi. Kathryn Dixon.
Um, wait, can you hear me?
Terrible reception here.
Look, there's no need.
I mean, if Mr. Kleinhoffer...
We could settle this right now.
It's fine.
Oh. Gary, I'm so sorry to bother you.
False alarm. Bye.
Can't hear me anyway.
I should be used to this by now.
There's always some crazy thing
happening around here.
Call off the K.C.P.D.
10-4. Roger that.
Oh, crap.
I ran out of report forms.
Hold on.
The Deaf Art Institute of Reykjavik?!
You were on fire!
It's like I'm a real writer.
Bay?
I'm the worst daughter in the world.
What are you talking about?
Well, here you... you came out here
in the middle of the night
and you totally saved me. You did all of this for me,
and I...
Didn't even get into Pratt.
Oh, what?
They rejected me.
Oh, I'm so sorry, honey.
I really wanted them and they didn't want me.
Baby...
Hey.
I think we're all set.
Thanks. Uh, I get this.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
What does this mean?
Um, this means...
that everything will be sold next week.
Why?
What happened?
My partner.
- Christy? - Yeah.
She has this other place across town.
I thought she could handle it all, but, uh,
I guess she got in over her head.
Isn't there something you can do?
We foreclosed.
The bank gets everything.
It's... it's done.
I thought I was done, you know?
Wandering around...
first I'm a musician,
now I'm a carpenter,
trying to be a father.
Failing at being a father.
This was supposed to be when everything came together.
But it fell apart.
At least it brought us together.
Yeah.
Ah, I remember where I left my book!
I had it with me when I went to K&D.
We are back to the book?
I know, I know. I need to let it go.
- But... - Listen, we can just call Regina.
No, don't bother her. She's at that dinner.
But I have a key.
Do you mind?
Of course not.
Hang on.
Well, that's the last of it.
I'm sorry I ruined everyone's artistic buzz
with my midas touch of failure.
Hey, you don't have sole rights to failure in this family.
I have 18 rejected book proposals
that I could show you.
I've got a failed marriage,
and I can't even legally drink yet.
And you were waitlisted at Wash U.
There's that.
Plus, there was that gambling thing.
That was bad.
Thanks, mom.
I feel so much better.
We should go.
No, let's just kinda wait a second.
I heard someone needed some power
to light up her dreams.
Generator is in the trunk.
Nice going.
- Thank you. - Hey, honey.
- Hey. - Tell bay about a moment
when your dreams were crushed, but you survived anyway.
Oh, yes.
When I became a state senator,
I thought that I would be useful.
Instead of a barely-tolerated puppet
for corporate interests.
That was a good one.
Happy to help.
So are we doing this, or what?
Come on, honey. Give it another shot.
Sure.
If security comes back, let mom take the lead.
It looks like she's working late.
Alone?
She promised not to do that.
- It's Christy. - Get it.
I'll go in and tell mom to come home with us.
Christy.
No, I understand.
But this is not what we discussed.
Mom!
Hello?
Who's there?!
Don't come in here! I have a gun!
My God.
- Mom! - So sorry.
You have a gun?!
I didn't know it was you.
- Are you okay? - I called out!
The water must have been on, and then I called out.
I'm deaf!
Sweetie, I know!
I wasn't expecting you. No one answered
and I panicked.
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
She came to get a book.
Did something happen?
I heard someone
and I didn't know who it was.
She pulled a gun.
You what?
I was terrified. I heard someone.
Daphne, are you okay?
- Yeah. - Look, I didn't...
Nothing happened.
Where did you get a gun?
It was something Wes thought I should have.
- Wes?! - To be safe.
So you nearly shot our daughter?!
You guys, stop. I'm fine.
I thought she was an intruder.
There was graffiti! I did not hear her come in!
That's it!
This East Riverside project has to stop!
This has nothing to do with Wes or the project.
I just overreacted.
You're completely blind, you know that?
All of this "We wanna save East Riverside."
Just admit it! It's for him!
What are you saying? That I'm cheating?
Are you?
Are you kidding me?!
Can I remind you that you are the one that left us?
And then had a baby with another woman?!
You couldn't raise that one either, could you?
Mom!
I've given you everything I've got!
Angelo, wait!
Wait!
Don't go.
I'm going to my apartment. I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm sorry for everything.
It's not your fault. If she wasn't so stubborn...
Look,
good luck with the test; Text me when you're done.
No wonder you shorted out the entire building.
Look at that thing.
Yeah, I noticed. Uh...
So are we ready?
One, two...
Three!
Let there be light! Please.
That is the work of an artist
with a very bright future...
Ahead of her.
You're a valkyrie.
Screw Pratt.
Thanks, guys.
Let's go take some pictures.
Come on.
So, seems like the trip
put the whole Nikki thing behind you, huh?
Well...
Best thing to do is just get back to business as usual.
Regular place to go every morning.
About that.
Um, I was wondering if you would...
fire me from the car wash.
C... come again?
I was hoping to get on unemployment
so I could take a few weeks and launch my next thing.
I think I wanna be a DJ.
A DJ?
Like for weddings?
Um, more like for clubs.
But, you know, I need some, uh...
equipment,
make some new tracks, get some gigs.
Okay. You're fired.
Thanks.
Nice.
It really is beautiful.
Yeah, if only Pratt thought so.
It's the only school I've ever wanted to go to.
What am I supposed to do now?
You know what you're supposed to do now?
Devour a triple-chocolate fudge sundae
from Farrell's! What do you think, you guys?
Hate to spoil the party, but Farrell's closes in 10 minutes.
Well then, why don't you take this?
Enjoy your ice cream, and your mother and I will clean all this up.
Really? Thanks.
We'll bring you back something.
Aww, okay.
Can I take the Porsche?
