‘Switched at Birth’ season 4, episode 5 preview: What happens with Bay and Tank?

Is there going to be some more trouble ahead on “Switched at Birth” season 4? Based on some of the latest details that we have at the moment, it certainly appears so. “At First Clear Word” is the title for next week’s installment, and fans of Max Adler should be pleased to know that the “Glee” actor will be back as Tank!

With that being said, there are many questions still regarding just what happened between Tank and Bay, and what this means for Bay and everything else that is going on in her life. This episode already has some dark undertones to it, especially if it comes out that Bay may have been assaulted, raped, or had something else terrible happen to her.

For a few more details in terms of what you can expect, take a look at the synopsis below:

“After a night of drinking with her friend Tank (guest star Max Adler, “Glee”), Bay wakes to find that she doesn’t remember all the details of the night. She tries to piece together the events of the evening, but as she speaks with different people about the situation, what really happened may not be so clear. Professor Marillo (guest star Bess Armstrong, “My So-Called Life”) invites Daphne to a small gathering of students at her home.

“Meanwhile, Lily (guest star Rachel Shenton, “Hollyoaks”) offers to help Toby while he figures out his finances.”

This episode certainly sounds dramatic and possibly very difficult, but maybe there could be a little hope in here somewhere for Daphne … if she can really start to enjoy her time in school without any of the stress and guilt. Those have been her prevailing emotions so far.
