It could be recalled that during the Season 4 finale, Bay and Daphne started living independently in China as they take on new jobs. However, the cliffhanger showed that they got an emergency call at home asking them to return to Kansas in the US.
A few months ago, Vanessa Marano also said in an interview that the Season 5 of “Switched at Birth” will see Bay and Daphne evolving further as individuals since they already explored the possibility of living independently in new places.
Showrunner Lizzy Weiss revealed in a previous interview that the finale episode of Season 5 of “Switched at Birth” shall take place at the Kennish home.
She says that the setting is nostalgic for the viewers who have been following the TV series since its first season.
Weiss also revealed that the next season shall feature the sensitive subject of racial discrimination, particularly on campus. Apparently, the show will feature a white college student partying while wearing a Lil Wayne costume, which the colored people would really find offensive.
She said that “Switched at Birth” has done its best to be honest and accurate on both sides of the issue. Weiss explained that in the white student’s defense, he was just celebrating by dressing up as his favorite artist and he had no intentions of mocking the black race with it.
