Life Unexpected Ends Unexpectedly

As promised, these two last episodes were full of emotion. And the last episode, you can tell that they knew the show was ending. The last ten minutes or so they wrap up the story pretty well.

The episode starts out where Lux's boyfriend Eric (aka Her School Teacher), starts having second thoughts about their relationship. During the Christmas break he had a lot of time to digest all that has happened to Lux, that he learned at the trial. He also realizes that he is doing the same thing as the older man who took advantage of her. He no longer wanted to be that guy. Baze's girlfriends son, tells Baze and Cate that Lux is at Tasha's house waiting for Mr. Daniels, AKA Eric. Baze and Cate coming in looking for him, and Lux of course says a lie that she was waiting for Jones. Meanwhile, when she thought Eric was coming over, He went over to Baze's place and talked to Matt and told him everything. They go back to Baze's place to find Eric there and he proceeds to tell them the whole story.

Lux, out of her furry tells Baze that his girlfriend, Emma has had an affair with his Dad, which breaks them apart, after he planned on buying a home for them.

Cate and Lux fight. Lux tries to trust Cate again after she claimed that she has never been there for her since she has come into her life. They eventually make up towards the end.

Cate ends up losing the baby that kept her and Ryan together. While Cate turns to leave the doctor after her final check up, she sees a lady that is pregnant. This is where my question comes in. Is that Ryan's old girlfriend? And does that mean she lied to him about being pregnant? Cate leaves the doctors and goes to Baze's bar where the whole gang is there helping him fix it, and then Cate says to Ryan, "We need to talk."

Then...


The Episode skips to two years later, at Lux's graduation; where she it looked like she was the Val-Victorian of her class of 2012. Odd. It would have been interesting to see her grow into a Rory Gilmore. Cate and Baze are together, Ryan was there with his old girlfriend and a two year old, and Lux and Jones are together, oh and Baze's friend Math seems to be with someone.

I know they didn't have enough time to wrap up the show they would have liked, as well as their fans, but I would have loved to see how their lives got to the point, at Lux's graduation. It was a great ending to the show even we didn't get to see two years of their lives. It was fun to see where all the characters ended up, and that they were all happy.

Life Unexpected only had 1.5 million viewers when CBS had over 14 million. I don't think they pulled in enough numbers for an amazing comeback. So for now we say, so long, Life Unexpected! You will be missed by your fans. And if you come back...we'll all be happy.
