Great second episode.  A real growing experience for all of the characters.  Of course we all know that they’re going to get some kind of custody but it was still hard to watch them go through the process.  I think about Cate and how she just barely let her fiance fully into her life.  How hard would that be to suddenly without any sort of warning have a 16 year old show up your door.  And not just any 16 year old.  Your daughter.  Wild.

And then there’s Baze.  Talk about not in the daddy mode.  And his girlfriend leaves too.  To be honest I’m not so sure he cared about his girlfriend leaving too much but he definitely wasn’t thinking about raising a teenager.  Did you feel super sorry for him though when he was told he couldn’t have Lux live with him?  I was heartbroken for him but truthfully he has some growing up to do.

I wonder if this is the last time we’re going to see Lux’s friend.  I was so devastated when she had to go back to the girl’s home.  But is it better for her to be living with her boyfriend at 16?  Thankfully it’s not my decision to make.  I secretly hoped that Cate would foster her too but that’s kind of asking a lot of Cate.

Still totally enamored with this show.  I can’t wait to see where it goes.  How was the second episode for you?

Life Unexpected is on Mondays at 9:00pm on The CW.
