Thanks for opening.

Looks like a good episode, particularly for John, Bay, Ty, and Regina.

Boy, that's a long episode title

Forwood4Bamon · 07-15-2013, 05:44 PM

so this episode was alright. I'm starting not to care about daphne's many love interests.

Why is Bay always so ready to sleep with Ty, but she never even got close with Emmett? She and Emmett were actually in love. Not that I believe you need to be in love to be initmate with someone, but it just seems it'd be easier to be with someone when you do love them. I just can't wrap my head around it for some reason.

I can't warm up to Jace. Worst Daphne love interest ever. I really wish they would've kept Noah. Well, I'd prefer Wilke, but we probably won't get him back until his other show is over.

Okay, I'm officially rooting for Regina and Angelo.

I do not enjoy episodes without Sean Berdy. The show doesn't sparkle without him. It's like the heart and soul is missing.

And I would have loved for Bay's first time to be with someone she loves. Ty would have been fine, if she loved him. But she's not there yet. She may love him one day. But she doesn't now. That seems sad to me. How do others feel?

AnneH · 07-15-2013, 06:23 PM

not everyone loses their virginity to someone they are in love with. but it was a positive experience for her and she felt ready so i guess that's all that matters.

i wonder if toby's job/college concerns are going to change things with nikki.

jace/daphne still boring.

yeah idk their relationship has always felt like it was missing the connection that makes it deeper than sexual attraction.

Wow.

A lot to process here with this episode. I actually missed a few minutes, so I am not fully prepared to give my in depth review.

But there was certainly a lot going on in this episode.

I agree with you.. I had a feeling the Bay/Ty sex thing was coming.. However, you're right, she's not in love with him.. I just don't get that vibe off her. It sucks that she slept with someone she doesn't love and their sex scene was so not romantic at all.

You are correct. Not everyone loses their virginity to someone they are in love with. But that's the thing. That's what made Bay special. She was the ONLY teen on the show that could have lost her virginity to someone she loved.

And now she didn't. The only saving grace is that Bay might still fall in love with Ty and exchange an "I love you" before the season ends.

So I guess the message the show is sending out is that NO teen ever loses their virginity to someone they are in love with. Since none of the teens on this show have.

I do believe Bay was ready for the experience, but I do not see it as a positive experience. Ty told her to stop talking right before they had sex. I could see his point (she did need to stop talking), but that's not what I would want to hear at that moment. He could have found a better way to quiet her (like maybe with a kiss).

Emmett was always good at that.
