Portrait of My Father

When attempting to figure out a way to answer questions about their newfound living situation, Kathryn encourages her family and Regina’s family to give a vague version of the truth. She’s not yet ready for the “switch” details to be made public. Liam tries to make up with Daphne, but she won’t have it. And when Daphne and Emmett are talking about the Liam situation, Emmett tells Daphne he would rather date a deaf girl -- and describes his ideal girl as someone who sounds a lot like Daphne. Later, John meets Melody, Daphne’s basketball coach, Regina’s friend and Emmett’s mom. John and Daphne bond over basketball, but he takes practicing a little too far. However, with John’s words of encouragement about basketball, Daphne decides to make up with Liam. Meanwhile, Bay is curious and asks Regina about her biological father but Regina and Adrianna both refuse to talk about him. Ty shows Bay around his neighborhood, where she could have potentially been raised. And Bay confides in Ty about wanting to know her biological father. Later, Daphne gives Bay a photo of Regina when she was pregnant with her – and it was taken by Bay’s biological father. Elsewhere, Kathryn gets Regina a job at her hair salon. Regina’s first client is Kathryn’s nosey friend Denise. Later, Kathryn reveals the switched at birth story to her friend Denise.
