Life Unexpected 2.05 “Music Faced” Advance Review

---


Excited for next week’s Life Unexpected, which happens to be the crossover episode with One Tree Hill? I’ve got an early look at “Music Faced” for you right now.

Here’s how the story goes: Ryan (Kerr Smith) is hosting a music festival, which brings OTH‘s Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and Mia (Kate Voegele) to Portland. Haley then meets Cate (Shiri Appleby), bonds with her over their similarities, and is there to lend a helping hand when the truth about Cate’s birth control gets out. Oh, and because this is a music festival, there are appearances by Sarah McLachlan, Ben Lee, and LUX theme song artist Rain Perry, too.

The episode really starts around the single peoples’ attempt to get dates to the festival, whether it’s Lux being shot down by one of her classmates, or Baze trying to pick up someone at the office to prove to his daughter that he’s over Cate. There’s a return appearance by Emma Caulfield (Buffy The Vampire Slayer‘s Anya) as Baze’s conniving boss, who wants to use him to meet Haley and therefore, Haley’s money. However, because this is a music-centric episode with several musical artists appearing, a large chunk of the focus is on the artists and their musical performances, so you’ll see less plot here than you normally would. OTH fans will at least get a kick out of Galeotti performing.

This being a crossover episode, though, it’s Haley to the rescue with the benefit of her experience. Appleby and Galeotti make an interesting pair to watch, and while the crossover seems cutesy on paper, it doesn’t seem forced. Fans of both shows should enjoy it, and LUX fans won’t feel like their show is being taken over. Excepting that large portions of this episode are given over to musical performances, the actual plot in “Music Faced” is worth watching.
