Writers: Brenda Hampton and Caroline Kepnes
Ben and Amy go on a picnic. Amy eats a plate of wings and Ben eats nothing. What a skinny little wimp. It would seriously annoy me if my boyfriend ate nothing while I pigged out all the time. And then he
proposes. What?! They are fifteen! What world is he living in where that seems like a good idea?! And can I move there? LOL jk. Ben is so lovesick that he tells Amy they can tell her parents it's HIS
baby! Haha. Ben may be okay with that now, but in the future he will definitely resent her if she went along with that idea. Amy straight up tells him that her parents probably wouldn't even let her get married.
Ricky goes over to Grace's house and sits in her living room with Grace's brother, Tom. It seems he came over for dinner, but Grace's parents won't allow Grace to spend time with him without them present. They are smart! But Ricky gives them some smooth words about 'just trying to help Grace' and it looks like Grace's mom falls for it. Amy's mom, Anne, has caught on the George's cheating ways and kicked his
butt out! Good for her! Amy's little sister is not too happy about it though. The worst part is that George lies! He tells Ashley he isn't cheating and that Anne is mistaken. What a liar!
When Ashley yells at her father and makes it clear she knows he cheated I was so proud of her! She is one insightful thirteen year old. Good for her! The awful husband, George, goes to stay with Adrian and her mom! Adrian is against the idea and rightfully so! Some strange guy is going to stay with her? Inappropriate. Adrian's mom is kind of slutty. Adrian's mom gives her an envelope full of cash and tells her she loves her before leaving for another trip for work as a stewardess.
Jack and Adrian continue studying once she leaves. Jack talks about how his dad died and his mom met his step-dad, the Reverend Stone at grief counseling. I'm not sure, but I think this is a big reason he is so into
being a Christian. He also implies that it was his step dad who asked him to date Grace Bowman. Haha!
Meanwhile, Amy goes home and talks with Ashley. Amy tells her that Ben and Ben's dad knows about her pregnancy, so maybe it's time to tell her mother. Amy also reveals that she is totally naive! She doesn't realize that their father has left them or that he's been cheating on their mother. Amy's two years older than Ashley, but somehow Ashley is way more intuitive. Amy's not too upset though and they laugh about how old and ugly their dad is. Only for a moment though. Then Amy dissolves into tears about her pregnancy.
Amy wants to get an abortion. Ben tries to encourage her not to, but she doesn't listen. Amy seems to think her parents would send her off to some home for teen moms.
Adrian appears and demands that Amy meet her in the parking lot after school for a ride home. Ben informs Amy that her two best friends, Madison and Lauren, are probably the ones who went around telling the school about her and Ricky. Amy gets upset and defends her friends. Alice and Henry have heard about Amy's pregnancy and question Ben about it. He admits to knowing about it, but is mad at them for gossiping about Amy. Grace and some other girl gossip about Amy's pregnancy and Jack being with Adrian. Grace is upset about being lied to by Jack. Jack had told her all he and Adrian did was kiss. Grace runs into Ricky and they talk about Jack and lying. Ricky, the sly boy, smooth-talks Grace and asks to come over later that night to hear her personal testimony. Ricky is so evil! He is going to pretend to be interested in becoming a Christian just to get with Grace! I really hope this show doesn't go all "Cruel Intentions" and have Ricky get with Grace only to truly fall in love with her and
Christianity.
Madison and Lauren talk to Amy and Amy confronts them about how people know about her pregnancy. Amy pretty much asks her friends to help her get an abortion. Madison says she can't because she is Catholic. Wow. Lauren tells her she needs to tell her mother and that she doesn't know anything about it. Amy freaks out about how she can't tell her parents and reveals that her parents are getting a divorce. Lauren shows her selfish colors when she complains that her high school experience isn't
what she wants it to be because of Amy. How rude! She's not the one who's pregnant at fifteen!
Amy's doctor calls her on her cell, right after her dad calls, and Amy lies and tells her she took care of it. The doctor is clearly unsure of what to do.
The guidance counselor requests a meeting with Amy. They discuss her plans to join the orchestra, go to Juliard, and, one day, play in the New York Philharmonic- a pretigous orchestra. The counselor clearly knows she is pregnant, or at least has a strong suspicion. He hints at
obstacles in her path and even says "when you hit a bump in the road..." - a baby bump! haha!
As soon as Amy leaves, Ben goes into the counselor's office for another one of his overly frank, awkward meetings with him. Ben denies Amy's pregnancy, but the counselor gives him some straight talk. Ben totally
started crying! Hahahaha! Wow. Jack gives Adrian a lecture about how she shouldn't hang out with "girls
like Amy Juergens" and Adrian actually defends her- until she learns Amy might be pregnant. Right then, Grace rushes up and confronts Jack and Adrian together. She is super mad that Jack lied to her and Adrian
competely defends her part in the crime.
I HATE JACK! Grace is mad and being a little mean about how Jack should be ashamed of himself and Jack totally FLIPS out on her! He yells at her to shut up and tells her that the only reason he went out with her all was because his step dad asked him to. What a JERK! Poor Grace. I thought I would hate Grace, but I actually feel sorry for her! Turns out Amy is the one I don't like. She's kind of whiny.
Ricky goes to his therapist to talk and mentions that he heard a rumor he got a girl pregnant.
Amy has a talk with her mother, but STILL does NOT tell her! I can't believe it! In real life, her mother would've noticed way sooner. Ben calls Amy, but she declines the call. Ben leaves a message whining about how she should marry him. What a weirdo!
Quotes
Ben "Well, you're my whore."
Lauren "I don't know, but what I do know is that this is not what I wanted my high school experience to be."
