The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2.12) "Be My, Be My Baby"


Griffin looks so good in those shirts, I almost forget he's the only one not having sex on the show.

So the general idea of this episode seems to be about George not feeling ready to be a father again. After an unsuccessful attempt to provide wisdom to Ricky, he finds Griffin, our extremely well adjusted homosexual, at the back door, intimidated to silence by a sign warning that pestilence and death wbill be visited upon anyone who knocks and wakes the baby.

George starts squawking at Griffin about letting Ashley kiss the boy a couple weeks ago. And because it’s a George and Griffin conversation, there has to be an awkward sexual aspect. This time, it’s George’s phrasing: “I thought we were on the same team.”

He mugs for the camera almost as much as OLTL's Rex.

Griffin tells him that he was watching, and nothing was going to happen given that they were on the porch with the spotlight shining on them while Griffin and the boy’s mom were in the car in the driveway. Besides, Griffin says, “I’d put myself between Ashley and any guy.”

George looks at him funny, so he adds “You know what I mean.”

We have an artist rendering of what George saw in his head.

There’s also an amusing comment about them having a “special needs dog.” Poor Zapato/Moose.

Over at the crazy, opportunistically religious Grace’s home, there is a ridiculously funny conversation going on about who’s having sex, and everybody is lying to everyone else. But my favorite is when Jack pitches the idea that they can have oral sex, and that technically it’s not sex. She questions that logic, and he says it’s true if they believe it’s true.

Grace seems to find it a bit hard to swallow.

By their logic, I’m a virgin, and I’d like to hereby believe that I’m married to Brad Pitt. That makes it true, right?
