I just started season 4. I can't believe Bay took the fall for Daphne. I was so glad to see Toby and then Emmett call her out. Everyone else is treating her with kid gloves.
Her father (who she didn't even want anything to do with) dying is not an excuse for her to behave the way she has.
She acted like she was the only one who lost someone. Regina new him and loved him for years. Bay was the one who wanted to meet him and get to know him.
Even the Kennish's treated him better than Daphne did.
Bay and Daphne do have some nice sisterly moments, but their mostly one sided. Daphne only seems to care about being sisters when it benefits her in some way.
I know. It's awful.
There's this moment when the detective returns, and Daphne could have done the right thing. She could have told the truth. But instead, Daphne throws Bay right under that bus, and she tells the detective that Bay is right and begins spinning an elaborate fabrication of how she was there to stop Bay that night. If Daphne had kept her mouth shut, it looked like Bay was preparing to back down from her lie and tell the detective the truth.
I cannot believe that Daphne could do something as selfish as that. What if Bay had gotten three years in prison, without the possibility of parole? That lawyer had said the judge wanted to throw the book at Daphne, because she was a state senator's daughter. What if he had thrown the book at Bay?
Could Daphne have lived with that? She would have had to, at that point. Because the penalty for lying under oath is 5 years in prison, and that's what Bay would have gotten, if her lie had been exposed. Thank goodness that didn't happen.
Daphne has been good to Bay, ever since Bay took the fall for her. But to me, everything between them now is tainted. It's as if Bay bought and paid for their friendship, instead of it being sincere.
If Bay had to buy Daphne's friendship, then is Daphne a friend at all?
I don't think she is. And it disappoints me, because I had really looked forward to the two girls growing closer, and now that they are, things are so unbalanced and dishonest between them, that I cannot find any pleasure in watching them together.
It's one of the biggest failures of the TV series.

Yeah, I was hoping they would have a real friendship too.
It also irked me that John so readily loved the idea of Bay covering for Daphne. Bay is the daughter that he raised, that he loved for years, not knowing that she wasn't really his, and he's excited that she's putting her own future in jeopardy for something she had no part of?
