They get to know each other and become something of a blended family, despite their differences and the traumatic circumstances that brought them all together. Monday’s Switched at Birth finale (ABC Family, 8/7c) is a game-changing hour for the entire Kennish-Vasquez squad, but as usual, it’s Bay who faces the brunt of the emotional trauma. After they discover the switch, the Kennish family invites the financially struggling Vasquez family to move in with them. The pair had very different childhoods with Bay growing up in affluent suburbia with her parents and older brother while Daphne – who is deaf – growing up in a low income, working-class neighborhood with her single mother and grandmother. The show’s premise revolves around two teenagers – Bay Kennish (Vanessa Marano) and Daphne Vasquez (Katie Leclerc) – who were switched at birth.
