Original Air Date: 7/22/2008
Director: Keith Truesdell
Writer: Brenda Hampton
Ricky forgets to pick up Grace after her secret date with Jack. Ricky was too busy getting it on with Adrian and fell asleep after. When he gets the call from Grace, he blames Adrian for letting him fall asleep. What a jerk!
While Grace is waiting for Ricky, two men try to attack her! She prays, breaks a beer bottle and brandishes it at them. At just the right moment, Ricky shows up and scares them off. Security footage catches it all and the next morning, it is aired all over the news. Amy's dad wakes Amy up to see it and laughs about it! He finds it funny because he dislikes the Bowmans. Really?! Some young girl is attacked and defends herself and it's funny?! No.
Grace's parents find out and she tries to explain. Ricky's foster mother questions him about why he wasn't wearing a shirt. She can tell that Ricky was at his girlfriends- except she thinks his girlfriend is Amy. Ricky corrects her though. Amy's mom and dad question Amy's little sister about why she is dressed differently. George reveals that customers in his store were gossiping about a Juergens girl having sex and George assumes it must be Ashley because "Amy wouldn't do that". Ashley could have ratted Amy out and said it was her, but she didn't. What a good sister!
Amy is upset and doesn't want to let Ashley get in trouble for her mistakes. Amy's friend Lauren lays down some truth and tells Madison to tell Amy how she truly feels and tells Amy to tell her parents. Good advice, but Amy doesn't want to listen.
When Grace gets to school, the other kids tease her and Jack has the audacity to be furious with Grace! He dumps her on a street corner after agreeing to the sneaking around and then is mad at her for what happened?! What?! Jack, if he is a true Christian, should feel guilty. He should realize that Grace could have been kidnapped, raped, or murdered all because he had to make curfew. Ridiculous. And poor Grace just takes it.
Ricky is the only one who acts appropriately. He asks if she's okay and apologizes again for not being on time last night. Thank goodness! At least someone seems to realize the seriousness of what could have happened...at least until it becomes clear Ricky does want to go out with Grace and is playing her. Adrian sees it, marches up, takes off Ricky's shirt, which she wore to school that day, and tells Grace where he was last night. Adrian then marches away topless.
Jack sees what happened and decides to take his shirt off as well. He yells that he looks better than Ricky with his shirt off. Jack is clearly jealous that Ricky was the 'hero' and that he had no shirt on.
After school, Amy and Ben meet up to get food. Ben points out that Amy is always hungry, HA! Amy is still a little mad about their fight in the morning. Ben got upset that Amy wanted to talk to her friends instead of him. Throughout the day he apologized but Amy is still a little mad. They go out anyway though.
Adrian goes home after the game to find her mother home. Not just home, but having sex with George Juergens. The same George who is supposed to be married to Amy's mother, Anne! What?! George is apparently a HUGE cheater and it is soooo low! I liked George's character- up until now.
Poor Anne is waiting at home when Amy comes back from her date with Ben. Anne can tell George is cheating. Apparently George said he was going out to play pool. And he did that a lot when they first got married. She knows he is cheating. Ah! I can't believe it! How could he do that? George acts like he's the fun, funny, good guy, but in reality he's a loser.
Once Adrian's mom and George leaves, Adrian has Jack come over. She thinks he wants sex and when she calls him out about it, he claims he wants a relationship with her. He tells her he wants her to go to church with him. Oh and he wants to make Grace jealous. Wow! For a self-proclaimed Christian, Jack acts NOTHING like a Christian.
Meanwhile, reporters trying to talk to Grace take advantage of Grace's brother who is mentally handicapped. The footage is then aired all over. Nothing news breaking is revealed though.
Ben's dad talks with Ben and when her appetite comes up, his dad bluntly asks if they are fooling around and if Amy is pregnant. At first, Ben thinks it's a crazy question, but after some thought it is obvious he is not so sure.
Amy tries to talk to her dad and ends up revealing that she had sex, not Ashley. Anne comes in and confronts George about if he is cheating. George tells her she is being ridiculous, but I think Anne can tell he is. George is SUCH a LOW LIFE! Meanwhile, Ben and Amy make plans to hang out the next day. Ashley points out that Amy is going to have to tell Ben at some point.
Jack shows up at Adrian's to take her to church. I'm not really sure why Adrian agreed to go in the first place. Before leaving, Adrian tries to seduce him again. This time Jack resists, but it's only because he doesn't want to have sex before church. Stupid.
Grace's parents skip church to fool around- real Christian behavior here! Grace and her brother go to church where she is interviewed and finally- deservedly- called a hero.
