Okay so I probably was not paying full attention while watching this but... Does Bay ever find out that Ty didn't really cheat on her. I know her friend knows, but did Bay ever find out because I don't recall if she did or not. If she didn't Ty should totally come back. If she did find out and I totally forgot about that, anyone want to remind me what episode it was?
Yeah, Mary Beth tells Bay that Ty never cheated on her.
It happens in Episode 9 of Season 3 "The Past (Forgotten-Swallowed)." In the timeline of the show, it's a couple of months after Ty was redeployed.
Bay is trying to convince Mary Beth that her new boyfriend Tank is a good guy, but Mary Beth won't believe it. Tank's fraternity planned that whole "dog fight" party, and one of Tank's fraternity brothers asked Mary Beth to the party, as his "dog." Bay sets up this whole fake situation, where she and Mary Beth just happen to run into Tank at some pool hall. Mary Beth is livid. Tank takes off quickly, to diffuse the situation.
Bay and Mary Beth remain at the pool hall. Here's their conversation:
BAY: Tank is not like that. He thought that party was awful too. In fact, he's the one who called the council, to get it cancelled.
MARY BETH: Tell him congratulations.
BAY: Okay, he's not perfect, but he's a good guy. And he is nice to me. He's not gonna suddenly cheat on me with some hot medic. You of all people should get that....
MARY BETH: Ty didn't cheat on you!
BAY: What?
MARY BETH: He made the whole story up. So you wouldn't have to go through what I went through when Justin died. He lied about the whole thing. Okay? He was trying to protect you.
BAY: Tell me everything right now.
MARY BETH: I don't know everything. Just that he made it up, or he let you believe it.
BAY: So he and Aida didn't....How could you sit on this? How could you keep this from me all this time, while I was dying inside?!
MARY BETH: He made me promise not to tell you.
BAY: And you listened?
MARY BETH: He thought that if he broke your heart now, it'd be better for you in the long run. In case something happened to him.
BAY: That is so stupid! How could he think that that would work?
Bay runs out of the pool hall and goes straight to Emmett, at Chrome:
BAY: I know. Now I'm wondering if I'd even be with Tank if I had known.
EMMETT: Is that the only reason you are with Tank? Because Ty cheated on you?
BAY: No, but... (Sighs) What if Mary Beth's right? And Tank is not a good guy. Am I just kidding myself?
EMMETT: Didn't Tank blow the whistle on that party?
BAY: Only after I found out about it. He didn't do it on his own.
EMMETT: I feel bad for any guy who comes after Ty.
BAY: I'm not saying that Ty is perfect....
EMMETT: No, but he's gone. So now, he's whatever you want him to be. And who wants to compete with that? Tank may not be the perfect guy. But he's here. And he likes you. And he's trying.
BAY: Thanks.
EMMETT: Any time.
So Bay goes to tell Tank what happened with Mary Beth, after he left the pool hall:
BAY: I guess one of the other guys was using his room, and when it fell out in front of me, he just kind of went with it.
TANK: Uh-huh. But now he's saying it was just a lie to protect you? (Scoffs) That's pretty good. Yeah, gotta remember that one.
BAY: Mary Beth didn't want to tell me. He made her swear not to.
TANK: Oh, no. He was just trying to piss you off so you wouldn't be upset if he got killed. That makes perfect sense.
BAY: It's screwed up, I admit it.
TANK: Yeah, but?
BAY: I don't know, it... it's a lot to think about. Hmm. (Sighs deeply)
TANK: So... Now what? Now you're gonna...you're gonna get back together with him?
BAY: No! Emmett was talking about how when someone's not around...
TANK: You talked to Emmett about this?
BAY: Yeah, just to think it through.
TANK: Wow. Wow. At least I came in third, huh? Guess I really failed that Mary Beth sniff test.
BAY: You are not on trial here. I just wanted to show her that you aren't some dumb frat guy.
Then, one of the fraternity brothers walks into Tank's bedroom. Ironically, he tells Tank to "go for it" with Bay, as long as the "lady is on board." Then, he talks about how he is going to cheat on his girlfriend that night. And Bay lets it slip that she knows about the dog fight the fraternity planned, when she tells him, "One of these days, all of these girls are going to get together and pull a dog fight on you guys." Once Bay says that to Tank's frat brother, Tank is at risk of being blackballed from the fraternity. He is upset with Bay, until the following week, when he helps her "bomb" the statue at her old school Buckner. And then the next week, of course, Bay cheats on Tank, as she and Emmett make love for the first time under the stars.
