Life Unexpected: "You've got a shot at a new life"

This week's Life Unexpected episode starts with Cate being very worried about whether or not she and Baze will be approved as temporary guardians for Lux. And before the final result is announced a lot happened. Here is a recap, broken into three parts.

1) The radio station wants Cate to lie about having a child because it will taint her reputation and the reputation of the station. So they have her read a statement on air. Lux is not supposed to hear it, but of course she does and she takes it to mean that she is unwanted. It takes some work, but with some help from Ryan, Cate proves to Lux that she is ready and willing to be her mother.
2) Lux is dropped off at school but doesn't attend. Instead she goes to her boyfriend's house. It is then that we meet some of her friends, one of whom was also trying to get emancipated from foster care. The friends make it very clear that they feel abandoned by Lux and talk shit about Cate and Baze, saying they probably don't even want her. These friends are the opposite of supportive and I was glad when Lux stopped listening to them and made up her own mind.
3) On the outside, Cate seems like the perfect parent. But she admits she has a difficult time committing to things and people, which may be her biggest fault in this instance. Then there is Baze who lives above a bar and continues to act like a teenager. After things with the social worker do not go well, Cate accuses Baze of trying to screw up on purpose because he does not really want to take on the responsibility of being a parent. Then he realizes he needs to step up and both parents say they do not want to bail on Lux again.

In the end the parent are approved, obviously or there wouldn't be a show. Anyway, I again enjoyed the episode but I'm waiting to see where the show is going. With the introduction of Lux's boyfriend and more impending drama between Cate and Baze, I can see the show continuing to be intriguing. I just hope it keeps holding my attention.
