Pregs' House. Tweedle Dee reads Ouisy's contract while Tweedle Dum reviews the pamphlet on Peaceful Vista. Naomi thinks the spa vacation will be great, all she has to do is "sign over all rights to said issue". She's not really feeling the contract and the whole gag order vibe of it. By signing, Pregs' can't talk about the father or the conception or birth of their little mistake. Pregs snaps at her. They finally have a plan, what's the problem? Naomi (being the good friend you don't seem to deserve, Adriana Tate-Duncan!) is just looking out for her. Pregs doesn't think the Collins are pure evil like that so to prove it she calls Ty. She gets his voicemail so she leaves him a message. Happy? Actually, no because all you did was leave a message. Idiot.
Hospital. Ethan helps Rhonda walk by cheering her on with sports metaphors. She's never been to anything sports related so the metaphors are lost on her. Ms. Stoeger isn't a very good PE teacher. He thinks maybe he's not the only one living in a bubble. Well, not anymore! The accident made her see her life as an endless stream of jazz band rehearsals. He saw one long sports reel. So from now on, he'll take two steps forward. She'll take two steps back. It ain't fiction just a natural fact. Opposites attract. Rhonda's gonna live like there's no time, like everyday could be here last. Don't forget to work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching!
WBHS. After rehearsal, Annie runs after GBC and apologizes for Ethan's absence. GBC is cool with it. He's allowed to miss one. Annie lingers. "It's not that I expected to get the lead in the play because I absolutely did not. But I love acting and I really want to get better because this is really what I've always wanted to do." First, you did expect it. Second, SHUT UP. GBC thinks her passion will help her but so will an acting class. Annie face falls. Ha! Acting is a craft, you have to work on it. DUH. She offers to give Shenae Annie a list of good acting classes.
Pregs' House. Pregs drives up and sees Ouisy getting out of her limo. What's she doing there? Ty ran to mommy and told her Pregs had some concerns. Ouisy thinks it's time to have a chat with Psycho Mom. Dun dun dunnn!
Inside, Ouisy apologizes for barging in, but it's time to talk about the situation. Pregs agrees that it is time. She turns to her mom and casually, but with the fear of God in her eyes, tells her because the baby is due in 5 months. Yeesh, no wonder your mom hates you. Ouisy was surprised with Pregs' concerns about the contract. Pregs feels that the not talking about it part is kinda harsh. Ouisy doesn't think Pregs wants everyone to know about the adoption. Well, if that's what Pregs decides. The nails come out. Ouisy thinks Pregs' 16 year old ass doesn't have any options. Actually Ouisy, the writers don't seem to think she has any other options. Let's not get confused here.
Ouisy continues her verbal assault and doesn't think Pregs is responsible enough. Psycho Mom steps up to the plate to defend her daughter. Pregs was bringing home a paycheck at the age of 5. She learned how to ride a bike in an hour when the script called for it. She had a drug problem, true, but she also cleaned up and stayed in school and got the lead in the school play. So there! Ouisy calls her on the fact that she didn't even know about the pregnancy 5 minutes ago. Touché. Ouisy asks Pregs if she doesn't want the baby to have a better life. That's the last straw for Psycho Mom. She kicks her out. I'm really surprised that Psycho Mom didn't try to get some money out of the Collins. Maybe there's hope for Pregs yet.
Peach Pit. Silver walks up to the counter determinedly, orders a turkey and asks for Dixon. He's not there, is the order to go? Yup. She turns and looks at all the tables with friends and couples and happiness.

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...
