Life Unexpected: Truth Hurts
The folks on Life Unexpected got an object lesson in truth-telling this week -- and it didn't work out so well for Lux. Of course, NOT telling the truth will inevitably come back to bite you in the butt, so we're guessing Cate and Baze's problems are far from over...
But what's the real truth? Take our true-or-false quiz and tell us what YOU think:
True or False: Cate and Baze still have a thing for each other
On the true side:Cate seems to talk a LOT about Baze on air, and Baze hasn't been bed-hopping as much since he bedded Cate. There's a certain protest-too-much vibe we get from them, and, this being television, we can't imagine two gorgeous people will keep their hands off each other for too long.
On the false side: Cate really is smitten with Ryan, and Baze really is a bit self-involved for Cate. Actually, Cate really is a bit self-involved for both Base AND Ryan, but Ryan, at least, knows how to handle her.
Our verdict: We buy Cate's explanation: Seeing Baze puts her back in high school emotionally, and so having the quarterback fall for her is flattering. When she's being rational, she knows they're no good for each other. We're calling this one false -- as long as they stay away from each other in moments of weakness (or drunkenness.)
There's more after the jump -- read on!
True or False: Jones has a thing for Lux, and Lux may be learning towards Jones
On the true side: Did you look at them? Jones is OBVIOUSLY smitten with Lux, and who can blame him? She's adorable!
On the false side: Lux does love Bug, even when Bug is being unreasonable. She's not going to give that up lightly
Our verdict: Jones is definitely crushing on Lux, although we think part of it may be the mystery of her -- he really hasn't met anyone outside his privileged bubble. We kind of think Lux may be crushing on the IDEA of Jones more than the actual person -- but that could be because we have a soft sport of Bug.
True or False: Bug's a bad guy and Lux is better off without him
On the true side: Well, he DID steal Jones' car.... and he did irrationally lash out at Lux. That's... not good.
On the false side: Look, considering his upbringing, Bug is a prince. And his reaction when confronted with the idea he was becoming his father, he left rather than hurt the one he loved.
Our verdict: We heart Bug, all the way. But yes, he has anger issues.
True or False: Sometimes the truth should be fudged
On the true side: When given the opportunity to come clean to Ryan -- when he asked her outright if she'd slept with Baze -- Cate chose discretion over the whole, painful truth. And that ended the conversation and kept everything safe...
On the false side: ... for now. Come on, you KNOW this is going to come out at the worst possible time.
Our verdict: Cate! You idiot! The cover-up is ALWAYS more damaging than the crime!
What's your take on the lies, the fictions and Cate's heinous boss? Do you want to see Lux and Jones together, or are you hoping for Lug? Talk about it in the comments!

I love the two guys: Baze and Ryan. Can the writers let Cate have the two of them? It would be pretty original

I was thrilled to see Kerr & Shiri appear in a show together again. Their chemistry is undeniable (at least if you were a Roswell fan)!
