Alright. Been a while since I updated this. It took a lot of time to get over my heartbreak. Anyway. My thoughts up to the most recent episode are below.
*SPOILER ALERTS*
There are things under this that have spoilers from the show. If you are NOT caught up, I advise you not to read the below information if you do not want to read spoilers.
My thoughts on:
Daphne: I do NOT want her with Chef Jeff. First off, he's kind of seeing Melody. Secondly, he's her boss. Third, he's way older than her. That kiss. I was hoping it wouldn't happen. But it did. Just. No. I don't want that relationship to happen. I think we all know it'll end badly.
--------------
I don't like how she used Travis to make Chef Jeff jealous. I'll be the first to admit, I didn't like him when he was introduced to the show. He seemed like a huge jerk, and the way he acted toward Wilke (Who meant well. And was really good to Daphne. I really do miss him) pissed me off.
--------------
BUT. My view of him has changed. We all saw how his home life was, and when your family isn't willing to learn the only language you can speak to communicate with you, it can piss you off. Make you feel lonely. Whatever. When Daphne told him she'd go bowling with him, I was looking forward to it. And when she basically blew him off, it made me sad for him.
-------------
I want her to give Travis a chance. Or Scuba. He seemed pretty awesome. Though he seemed pissed at her when he got in trouble over the shrimp. -Promo for next week's episode-
Bay: I feel bad that she tried to be honest with John and Kathryn about her street art only to be yelled at and told to give it up. I know it's illegal, but it's a part of who she is. I don't know if John and Kathryn understand that. When they're asking her to stop doing it, they're kind of asking her to give up a part of what makes her who she is.
---------
Not entirely sure how I feel about Zarra. I feel bad that she doesn't have a family or a real home to call her own. I'm glad Bay has someone that understands her street art. I know Emmett understands, but Bay is still hurt. Though she seems to be healing. Which is great.
Toby: I like that he may have a new love interest. Nikki seems like she can bring him out of his funk. I think he should continue his music. It makes him happy. Maybe he and Nikki will start dating. She's pretty sweet and, paraphrasing Bay, "doesn't seem like like the kind of girl that would sleep with Bay's boyfriend".
------
I don't feel like we've seen much involving Toby. I thought it was sweet of him to stick up for Simone about that website. I will say, when he told Kathryn that Simone slept with Emmett, I was in shock. lol
Regina: It sucks that she can't sign right now. I know she's sad that she can't communicate with Daphne very well because of her hand.
---------
The marriage to Angelo to help Bay wasn't the smartest thing, but she wasn't thinking straight. She was thinking "Bay is hurting, and this can stop it." I just hope she doesn't begin to fall for it again. I'm still wondering how her relationship with Patrick is going to work out with this marriage going on.
---------
I'm actually really glad that she's being a 'friend' to Simone. Much as it pissed me off that Simone and Emmett slept together, she's still a person, and she still has feelings. I can't just forgive Emmett because I love him and still hate her. I forgive her, too. And she really needs Regina to keep her on the right track. I was glad when Regina caught her buying Alcohol and stopped it. Regina can help her through the rough times. She needs someone to be there for her.
Emmett: I love this boy. I really really do. I was pissed at him when he slept with Simone. But I want him and Bay to get back together. He knows he messed up and he wants to fix it. With every episode that he and Bay speak to each other, my heart hurts a little more. Bay's on friendly terms with him, at least. They seem to be friends, talking to each other and Bay borrowing his camera and all. I get if she doesn't want to get back with him. And I'm glad they're on talking terms. I still hope there's a chance for them, though. That 'mural' he did for her really made me cry.
----------------
Regina's words sum up my thoughts on the whole situation exactly: "I love that boy, but what the hell was he thinking?!"
------------------
When he met Robin at the motorcycle event, and told Daphne "I already met the perfect girl", I wanted to cry. Bay kind of told him to go out with Robin in a way when she left them together saying "I feel like I'm the one that's interrupting." I don't want that. I have nothing against her. She seems really sweet. But I'm still team Bay & Emmett.
John: I thought it was really sweet of him to hang out with Travis. Since Travis's own family is so -whatever the word is-, I'm glad John is connecting with him. Especially after Daphne basically blew him off. John's really great to him. More of a dad then his own dad, I'd say.
--------
I thought it was a low blow on Bay's part a few episodes back when she was hanging out with Angelo and said "That's what dads are for." or whatever. You know she meant it to hurt John and it worked. He raised her, not Angelo. There was no need for Bay to say something that hurtful. And he's letting Angelo stay in the house with them FOR BAY.
Kathryn: I don't have much to say about Kathryn at the moment. All I can say is that when she ran into Emmett at the Event at Carlton and basically ran in the other direction... It hurt my feelings to see his face. I think he knows she knows now. She's protective of her daughter, I know. But she was so kind to Emmett during his parents' divorce. Kind of sucks to see that completely gone.
Angelo: I still don't really trust him. I feel like he's up to something still, to be honest. I don't feel like he's telling Regina the entire truth about the nurse. BUT. It was a pretty big gesture of him to thank Daphne for her gift in ASL. It meant a lot to her, you could tell. And it was really thoughtful of him to do that. Doesn't make up for him leaving, but it was a start.
So what about you, my fellow SaB fans. What are your thoughts? Post away. And I will try to keep this more up-to-date. I let things slip sometimes. I just need reminders.
