The (crazy and condescending) families are once again MIA on Life Unexpected, and it's back to the old stuff: Cate (Shiri Appleby) trying to be all maternal and failing, Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) acting like a jerk then realizing it belatedly, and Lux (Britt Robertson) breaking some sort of rule to remind both parents that she's a special kid, which she is.
On "Bong Intercepted" Cate tries to get Lux's principal to drop her suspension, but only seems to cause her more problems. Why did she get suspended in the first place? Remember the little paraphernalia she sold on the last episode?
Meanwhile, Cate and Ryan (Kerr Smith) hold a radio station event (Drink-a-Date, which combines speed-dating and speed-drinking) at a competing bar across the street from Baze. But at some point, something unexpected happens, like some anonymous tip to the police reporting that the bar sells liquor to minors, consequently having it shut down.
Thankfully, Baze comes to the rescue and Drink-a-Date has a new venue: Baze's bar. Catch the (weirdly Lux-free) promos here:
