Original Air Date: 10/3/2008
Director: Ron Underwood
Writers: Brenda Hampton and Orlando Bishop
Molly Ringwald! Awesome! So 15 year old Amy Juergens gets home from band practice, wearing a massive band uniform, and proceeds to take a home pregnancy test. From the previews, I already know she is. But I guess the fun will be in seeing everyone around her find out!
Okay, so some blond guy and some blond girl are the 'it' couple. And the guy with the two Asian friends is the 'nerd'. Que the Latina slut, Adrian, and her smooth-talking boyfriend, Ricky Underwood. Ricky doesn't hesitate to hit on Grace Bowman, the blond 'it' girl, after Adrian leaves his sight.
In a stereotypical fashion, the Asian starts rattling off statistics about sex. Weird and unrealistic. Amy Juergens stares at Ricky, the boyfriend of the 'slut', and I think it's obvious- we have a winner! Ricky
is totally the father of Amy's baby. Amy's friend, Madison, seriously looks like the actual daughter of Molly Ringwald.
Grace and her boyfriend have a talk over lunch about being abstinent. Grace wants Jack to wait to have sex until after marriage, but Jack clearly doesn't want to wait. Adrian, the 'slut', comes over and sits by Jack and acts like a slut, while staring at Jack. Weird.
Ben, the nerd, talks to the counselor about joining the band because he was rejected by Amy. Ben already makes no sense. He wants to get closer to a girl who rejected him? What?
With numerous home tests confirming Amy's pregnancy, her friends convince her to go to the doctor. In the waiting room, Amy holds someone else's baby oddly enough. How ironic! Lol.
Finally 23 minutes in, we are introduced to Amy's 13 year old sister who apparently had to put on a sweatshirt in school because her belly button was showing. It would've been funnier to show this I think. Amy's mother is ironically super perceptive and asks Amy if she is okay. I'm pretty sure Amy is a terrible liar and that's why she looks so awkward and struggles to answer. Amy's father, George, gives the girls a lecture about how they are too young to even think about sex.
At Grace Bowman's house, Grace's father gives a lecture on staying pure and not having sex. Grace has promised to stay abstinent until marriage and wears a promise ring her father gave her.
Meanwhile, Ricky Underwood is having a counseling session. It appears he was sexually abused and currently lives with a foster family.
Ben and Amy go on a date. For both, it is their first date ever. At the dance, Ricky approaches Amy and has the NERVE to ask her to dance with Grace's brother so that he can dance with Grace. What a jerk!
Jack is freaking out because he hooked up with Adrian the night before. He totally cheated on Grace! And he thinks he is a good Christian! Hah!
Grace's brother, Tom, sees Jack and Adrian kissing at the dance and yells at the top of his lungs. Everyone runs out and sees them. Everyone except Amy and Ben who dance together.
The funny thing is that Adrian and Jack just stand there. In real life, they would have hurriedly split up and probably would have tried to say Grace's brother was lying.
Quotes
Amy "I didn't realize what was happening until, like, after two seconds,
and then it was just over. And it wasn't fun, and definitely not like what you see in the movies, you know, all romantic and stuff."
Jack "Let us not be distracted by the women who are here to lead us into
situations that would lead us straight into hell and destroy our souls
forever, but to cheer us on to victory with their short skirts and tight
sweaters and hot bodies."
Ben "You're going to need to know what a condom's for if you're going to
make it in this job Mark."
