Peach Pit. Pregs meets up with Ty who apologizes for how he reacted. He was in shock and should be more sensitive to what she's going through and feeling. OR that was his true douchey nature and this is all just an act. He talked to the 'rents who were also shocked (because teen pregnancy is so rare), but after a couple of stiff drinks/quaaludes they calmed down and decided to help them out. They would like to have Pregs and her mom over for dinner. He reassures Pregs that they are in this together. Not really buying it, but Pregs seems to soak up every last drop.
Casa Wilson. Dixon and Navid toss a football back and forth as Dixon suggests finding a new girl to help them forget about the old ones. Being that it took him 11 years to talk to Pregs, Navid doesn't think another chick is in the cards for him. Well, maybe there's another cash-strapped coke whore who needs some dumb virgin to pay for court ordered rehab? I mean, it's LA, right?
Hospital. Ethan visits Rhonda. She seems excited to see him. Ethan tells her that he was the driver of the other car and that he's sorry. She tells him they aren't pursuing legal action which they so should. The least they should do is punish Annie. He blows the defense's case by telling her they could sue if they want, it was his fault, he was on the phone and didn't see the stop sign. He then hands over his fingerprints, an artist's rendition of the accident and tire impressions. She's actually glad the accident happened because it got her out of a math test. He asks what school she goes to. Her smile fades and then we find out why she was so excited to see him. They go to the same school; they're in the same French class. Ouch. The doucheholioness of this situation washes over Ethan's face. He's sorry. She rips him a new one and accuses him of living in a bubble. When was the last time he talked to anyone who wasn't running for homecoming queen or on a varsity sport. Umm, the last time he talked to his girlfriend? Do your research, Nerd. Ethan insists that he's not like that.
Ty's House of Scary WASPS. Louisa "Ouisy" and William Collins introduce themselves as Ty's parents. They are scary-fake. Pregs lies to them off the bat and tells them that her mom couldn't get off work at the last minute. Grandpa Collins asks what Psycho Mom does and Pregs says she's in the restaurant business. Which is only kinda sorta a lie. Grandpa Collins reminisces about the grueling summer he spent as a bus boy. Ty seems to be shocked by this breaking news. Holding back a beating (they have company!) he asks if it's so hard to believe. Ouisy says it's because they've never seen him pick up a damn thing. Polite laughs mask the loathing. AWKWARD. Ouisy gets down to business. She asks how Pregs is doing and that the most important thing is to take care of herself. They want to help her and agree to get her a good doctor and pay for everything. This is all very Rosemary's Baby. But by the looks of it, Pregs hasn't seen that movie. Also worth mentioning, the Collins have a white servant who announces dinner is ready...in LA. Freaky.
WBHS. Ethan stares at the empty desk in his French class. The empty desk that is RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. He is a jerk.

great recap! lovvvvvved the saved by the bell reference. probably the best episode of SBTB ever.
everytime Ouisy is on the screen it just reminds me of Phil of the Future, she played the mom, and that reminds me of how dreamy phil diffy is. oh phil.

This show is one of my guilty pleasures and I LOVE it!!
HIGHlarious recap -- loved all the random show & movie references (especially the "Jessie speach" from SBTB -- man I used to throw that out there every chance I had back in the day)...and the GBC abbreviation only because I use that as a Green Bean Casserole abbr. all the time so now I'll think of this show whenever I use that which will make me think of Annie's sad-I-suck-at-acting-face which I also love.
I can't stand Annie/Shenae (character/actor-same difference) and hope things keep spiraling downward for her....please oh please writers, make her an after school special, please...she needs something serious to shake up her shallow world and more than a stupid break-up with whatshisname...
