This episode starts off with Amy creepily sitting in the dark. Her mom wakes up, makes some coffee, and is startled when she sees Amy sitting in the dark alone. Amy just blurts out that she's having a baby. Ugh AMY!!! C'mon, even I could've told her that if she was going to tell her mom, the best time to do it probably isn't when her mom just wakes up and is all sleepy!
Amy's mother, the best actress in the show, is disbelieving. Poor Anne Juergens. She thinks Amy is lying to her. Ashley wakes up and joins the discussion. Family drama! Then to top things off, Amy tells her mom she wants an abortion.
Anne makes a plan for Amy: to go to her OBGYN and to tell her father. Apparently the doctor Amy went to see earlier in show was her pediatrician- LOL!
Ashley and Amy get the day off from school and Ashley is a huge brat! She blames Anne for George leaving even though in a previous episode she admitted to knowing George was cheating! How can she blame Anne?! How does that work out in her stupid head? Then she begs Anne to keep Amy there in their house with them, despite Amy wanting to be sent somewhere.
At school, Madison wants to try to go see Amy and take her assignments from school, but Lauren says she can't because her parents won't let her see Amy. WHAT?! Lauren is a TERRIBLE friend. She told her parents information that wasn't hers to tell and now she isn't ALLOWED to be friends with Amy? Baloney! If her parents think that hanging out with a pregnant teen will somehow be a bad influence on their daughter, then they didn't raise their daughter right.
Adrian pulls Ricky aside to talk about Amy. Apparently when she tried to give her a ride home yesterday, Amy never showed up. Hah! Seems she was going to try to convince Amy to get an abortion. Adrian tells Ricky not to interfere and to let her get an abortion if that's what she wants.
Grace tells Ricky that Amy is really going to have a baby and Ricky confirms it. Grace flips out and leaves to try to 'save' the baby.
Amy takes it upon herself to call Adrian and asks her to take her to a clinic for an abortion. Ben's dad and George meet to talk about Ben's marriage proposal. Both George and Anne still think that Ben is the father. Ben's dad is super sweet for supporting his son, but this is a bit of a stretch.
Amy sneaks out and Adrian picks her up. Amy doesn't want Ben to come, but he does anyway and tries to convince Amy not to do it. Amy yells at him and tells Adrian to drive to the clinic.
George shows up at the house and has the NERVE to blame Anne for Amy's pregnancy. What a JERK! He just proves it more and more every episode.
Grace and Ricky rush to the abortion clinic to try to convince Amy not to get an abortion, but they are too late. Amy has already been taken to the back. Adrian and Ben, who are waiting for her, have words defending Amy. The receptionist calls security to make them leave, but at the last moment Ben is called back. Amy wants to talk to him.
When Ben gets to Amy's doctor's office room, she cries and apologizes for yelling at him. She borrows his phone to call her mom. Looks like she won't be getting an abortion.
Adrian and Ricky talk. Adrian calls him out on pretending to care about Amy's baby just to impress Grace and Ricky totally doesn't deny it. Adrian makes it clear that she's been encouraging the abortion because she doesn't want to see Ricky with Amy. Then, Ricky grabs her and kisses her. What a jerk face man-slut!
Jack makes a play for Grace. He apologizes for his cheeating and is super nice to her, even though it wasn't that long ago Jack was yelling at her in school...I don't know about him. I can't tell if he's sincere or just in a good mood and lonely without Grace.
Amy talks to her mom and pushes her desire to marry Ben. Anne explains, in a great way, that marrying Ben isn't a good idea because she needs to try to take responsibility for herself. Anne is an AMAZING mother and I hope Amy realizes how lucky she is.
