S3, they were together in every way. Amy gave her heart, mind, soul and yes, body (her Virginity) to Ephram. The level of seriousness between them was at an all-time high with everything to lose. They were in a committed romantic relationship. She sacrificed so much for his piano talent. She gave up normal dating moments while he practiced, Ephram even wanted her in NYC with him during the audition because he viewed the success as a “together” accomplishment. Which is why I don’t understand how he was shocked she fought like hell to get him another audition. She was connected to his piano playing and future success (he viewed them as a team), he knew this. Of course then he basically told her she was less important, not seeing a forever, dumping her, leaving for Europe knowing her mother was battling cancer. No comparison and I don’t look forward to the rest of S3 and his behavior either. Last edited by jediwands; 07-08-2022 at 01:00 PM |

Also, people found it weird that he wanted to see his kid? Really? I don't find that weird or to be a bad idea at all. That is EXACTLY what i would want to do... Quote:
I do agree she would have gone to Ephram no matter what if she REALLY wanted to. Even after Andy's threats. Thats what i would have done. but its pretty clear she was scared and intimidated by Andy. And she listened to what he said to her about ruining Ephram's life. I do think it would have been a mess had Madison told Ephram about the baby, and i also think that they wouldnt have agreed on what to do. i think Ephram would have pushed for an abortion though. And I think Madison probably would have been more inclined to go wit it wth the pressure of Ephram's insistance. Or, maybe they would ahve decided to keep it and try to raise it. i dont see the adoption plan happening though if Ephram knew about it, but maybe... maybe an open adoption though. __________________

I don't see Ephram wanting Madison to have an abortion if he found out about the pregnancy right away. I think that he would be rightfully upset and unsure of what to do, and he'd want to see what Madison wanted to do and he might postpone being with Amy while they figured everything out. I think that ultimately he and Madison might have decided to put the baby up for adoption anyway, and although it would have taken an emotional toll on both of them, Ephram wouldn't have felt betrayed like he did. By that point Ephram and Madison had mutually agreed that they couldn't be together, but obviously him finding out that she was pregnant with his child would have really complicated things between them.
I will say that Andy was dead wrong to treat Madison like he did, and the whole Madisongate storyline was just designed to create sensationalistic drama, and I hated that the show took that route. __________________

But you're right, I don't think Madison ever imagined Andy was going to ask her to keep the baby a secret. Still, if I'm in her position, the last person I go to is Andy since he begged me not to make any of the mistakes I clearly made, and I would have found a different option. There's plenty of other doctors and planned parenthoods in the Denver area to choose from. She also could have gone to Jake if it was just for medical advice. She obviously went to Andy for more than medical advice. Then when it was confirmed, I would have gone straight to Ephram since he was the father. He was a minor but a minor that got her pregnant. If he was mature enough to get her pregnant, then he should have been mature enough to handle the news from day 1. Quote:

But that said, Alexa does have a great point... what was done was done... it happened. So totally agree with you that once the news came out, Andy was in the wrong treating Madison like he did. So true, Jerry... Madisongate was a terrible storyline, the worst one, in an otherwise pretty perfect series. It's so unfortunate, because the story lingered and affected so many of the main characters. |

Question:
Would you guys have preferred Madison telling Ephram immediately at the end of S2 which would have caused Ephram and Amy to be delayed romantically even more and not officially romantically together until way later, maybe not even until S4? |

You brought up a good point Michelle about Ephram being mature enough to get her pregnant, then he should have been mature enough to handle the news from Day 1, but to me Ephram wasn't mature enough to be in a relationship with Madison, and although he was physically able to get her pregnant, he didn't have the maturity or the emotional stability to be in a sexual relationship with her let alone handle her being pregnant, or handle raising a child with her, and I don't know of any 17 year old boy who would have that maturity and emotional stability in that situation. Ephram had just gotten together with Amy romantically when Madison revealed to Andy that she was pregnant, so it could have put a hold on his relationship with Amy, and Ephram was still pretty hung up on Madison at that point, so that might have complicated things as well, so I honestly don't know how all that would have played out. __________________

It might’ve caused fighting between Ephram and Madison and prevented Ephram from going to Juilliard. Who cares. LOL. We know he didn’t even want classical piano or Juilliard and certainly who cares about any fighting or drama between a not romantically together anymore, Ephram and Madison. Amy could have dated a nice guy throughout the drama. Not a Colin type and certainly, Tommy type, but it could have been kind of like Ephram and Laynie… cute, fun, never serious and we would know Amy still had romantic feelings for Ephram. Quote:
I was being passive aggressive/sarcastic with the maturity and if he was mature enough to create a baby he was emotionally mature enough to handle the news with proper intellectual capability on how to best handle the situation. Of course he wasn’t ready. But it happened so he deserved to know. Who knows, maybe if he would’ve found out right away from Madison then he would have apologized to Andy for not listening to a word of fatherly advice he gave him at the beginning of S2 regarding the very inappropriate relationship he wanted with Madison. Quote:
Even in NYC, Ephram questioned if Madison STILL thought he was too immature and boyish. If Madison told him at the end of S2, we can be sure she would have continued disrespecting him and acting like he was too immature for his opinions to matter. I think we might have been able to grab some popcorn and watch a really good drama while they fought it out with lots of tears, yelling and chaos. At least Amy, Andy, Delia wouldn’t have been in the line of fire this way. |

Ephram really has other options. He doesnt need to do this himself, he could go to the authorities and tell them about the situation and find other ways to potentially regain custody of his child. He had the right to at the VERY LEAST have visitation rights if thats what he wants. Quote:

It is interesting to think though if that would have prevented e/a from getting together for a much longer period... very interesting. Quote:

Do you think she wanted Andy to tell Ephram? Do you think she wanted help as far as how to tell Ephram or it was more about what to do regarding the pregnancy? Quote:

In a way, it was like on Dawson’s Creek the countdown to Dawson finding out about Pacey/Joey. Madisongate took much longer but overall I remember watching Dawson’s Creek just waiting for when Dawson and Andie found out and then the aftermath took forever. Madisongate affected the show as a whole in this way too. |
