Recap: Rent Uncollected
Feb 6th
Britt Robertson as Lux
One of our favorite TV Bloggers from Los Angeles Times: Vlada @stayingin recaps last Monday’s episode with detail and wit.
Baze and Cate may have not figured it all out yet, but thanks to Cate’s investment in a parenting book, which I really hope is called “Parenting for Dummies: I Just Found Out I Have a Teenager Edition,” they’re already improving on their own parents’ examples. But just in case they slip up, it’s a good thing they have Lux around to parent them and put together the rent for Baze’s bar, even if it did mean selling Baze’s awesome bong lamp.
Readers, what did you think of Cate and Baze’s parents? Were you glad to see Baze and his dad patch things up a little at the end? How fun was it to see Stevenson (“Dead Like Me,” “Men in Trees”) play Cate’s boozy mom? Were you surprised that Lux was gathering money for Baze’s rent and not to run off with Bug? Post your answers here!
Liz: “Cate belongs with Ryan”

I’m sure you all have your opinions about whom Cate should be with, but show creator Liz Tigelaar has an opinion too.
“She belongs with Ryan,” says Liz in the clip below. “[Baze]‘s complicating it. It doesn’t mean she’ll end up with Ryan. It doesn’t mean she’ll end up with Baze. But I think you can’t look at the situation and not think that Cate belongs with Ryan. Ryan is a great guy. He’s everything that a healthy, well adjusted reasonable person would want… which is the problem (laughs).
Yes, Cate isn’t quite a grown up yet and that could indeed be Ryan’s biggest problem. Says Liz, “[Ryan] does have his own kind of flaws in that he thinks people can change and he thinks she’s, on some level, maybe better than who she is.”
And the Baze business is clearly a result of Cate not yet being a big girl… just as Baze isn’t exactly a big boy yet.
“Cate and Baze are just peas in a pod,” Liz explains. “They’re like reluctant peas in a pod.”
So will Ryan soon find out about Cate and Baze’s bedroom time? get the answer here @Korbi’s blog

Episode THREE: Rent Uncollected
COMING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1 on CW!
When Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) tells his parents (guest stars Robin Thomas and Susan Hogan) about Lux (Britt Robertson), they insist on planning a dinner at which they can meet their granddaughter and Cate (Shiri Appleby). Cate reluctantly agrees to go to the dinner and is further annoyed when her overbearing mother (guest star Cynthia Stevenson) and neurotic sister (guest star Alex Breckenridge) show up unexpectedly. Meanwhile, when Cate (Shiri Appleby) hears about a gang fight at Lux’s school, she immediately decides to have Lux transferred to her and Baze’s (Kristoffer Polaha) alma mater, Westmonte. Kerr Smith and Austin Basis also star. Executive producer Gary Fleder directed the episode written by executive producer Liz Tigelaar.

Monday: Rent Uncollected 1.03
Jan 31st
The Trades/ R.J. Carter reports:
The cast of Life Unexpected gathers more players in this week’s episode, “Rent Uncollected.” Now that Nate (Kristoffer Polaha) and Cate (Shiri Appleby) have established joint custody of their newly-discovered teenaged daughter, Lux (Brittany Robertson), the rest of the family learns of the situation, due largely to Cate’s situation being being outed on her radio program through a call-in from Cate’s narcissistic therapist sister, Abbie.
Now not only does Cate’s boozehound of a cougar mother (Cynthia Stevenson) know about Lux, but so do Nate’s uppity old-money mom and dad — and none of them think Cate and Nate are mature enough to raise a child (even for two years — Lux will be eighteen in two years, after all). Abbie is simply annoying in her analysis of the two, but Nate’s father (Robin Thomas) has a bit more pull: he owns the building in which Nate has established his bar, and the rent is late this month. Making no bones about how he feels about Nate’s irresponsibility, he threatens to evict Nate, removing the main source of his income needed to care for Lux.
The stress of the extended family conflict adds to the already growing unease for Lux, who isn’t used to being parented — certainly not by parents who show concern about the school she goes to (which is described as a feeder system for the state penitentiary) and the friends she hangs out with, including Bug, her tattooed motorcycle riding boyfriend. Perhaps the old plan of running away to Mexico with her friends wasn’t such a bad idea after all? read more
Judy Manning @ Series.nu reviews the third episode and here is a snipit from the article:
The dinner conversation heats up when both Baze and Cate’s family agree that neither of them are capable of raising a child. Baze and his father have an argument about the fact that Baze can’t even pay rent on the bar which by the way he hasn’t paid this months’ rent. All the fighting causes Lux to bail on dinner and sneaks out of the dinner to ride off with her boyfriend, Bug (Rafi Gavron).
Will Baze come up with the rent or will his father make good on shutting down the bar?
