BAY IS PUSHED BEYOND HER COMFORT ZONE IN AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF "SWITCHED AT BIRTH," AIRING MONDAY, JANUARY 20 AT 8:00PM ET/PT ON ABC FAMILY

Series Star Lea Thompson Directs

Burbank, CA (December 3, 2013) - Bay is challenged by the demands of her new art teacher and pushed around on the field hockey yard in an all new episode of "Switched at Birth," airing Monday, January 20, 2014 at 8:00PM ET/PT on ABC Family.

When her art teacher (guest star Sandra Bernhard, "Roseanne") proves to not be easily impressed, Bay is pushed to re-examine her talents. And adding to her discomfort is her forced commitment to the new Carlton field hockey team. Daphne makes a mistake at the clinic, and Campbell (guest star RJ Mitte, "Breaking Bad") helps her correct it. Kathryn introduces her new friend Renzo (guest star Alec Mapa, "Ugly Betty") to John.

Meanwhile, Emmett thinks he may have discovered who has been vandalizing cars at Carlton.

"Your Body is a Battleground" was written by James Stoteraux & Chad Fiveash, and directed by Lea Thompson.

"Switched at Birth" is executive-produced by Lizzy Weiss ("Blue Crush"), Paul Stupin ("Make It or Break It"), and John Ziffren ("Melissa & Joey," "Make It or Break It"). The series stars Katie Leclerc as Daphne Vasquez, Vanessa Marano ("Gilmore Girls") as Bay Kennish, Constance Marie ("George Lopez") as Regina Vasquez, D.W. Moffett ("Friday Night Lights") as John Kennish, Lea Thompson ("Back to the Future," "Caroline in the City") as Kathryn Kennish, Lucas Grabeel ("High School Musical") as Toby Kennish, Sean Berdy as Emmett Bledsoe, and Gilles Marini ("Brothers and Sisters") as Angelo Sorrento with guest star Marlee Matlin ("The West Wing").
