Was it a little dreary? A little tedious? Mmhmm, that's why they call it work. Last night on Baby Borrowers, the teen parents had to juggle unfun jobs with playing house, and oh, did it blow-for them, anyway. They cried, rolled their eyes, and pitched hissy fits as far as they could throw 'em. And it all resulted in, well...nothing.

The theme of tonight's condom crusade (Can't you just see the little Trojans marching to repel the mighty sperm army? Protect the egg, soldiers!): Consequences? What consequences?

Let's start with the repeat offender, Alicea. Last week she copped so much 'tude, little Carson's momma had to take her to the woodshed. Trying to avoid another run-in (and any semblance of responsibility for Carson), Alicea went to work while Cory stayed home with the baby. Only Ali showed up for her gig at the lumber yard looking like she rolled in from a club. Then she threw her boss a stinkeye so funky, I'd have taken off my shoe and beat her with it. Does she get fired? Nope. Does she lift a finger to help Cory when she gets home? Hardly. Is there any incentive for her to behave better? Not that I can see. As for the other couples, let's get to them, after the jump.

For Sean and Kelsey, the motivation seems pretty clear: One of them has to work, or they don't get paid. No money means no food, no house. So it certainly seems like self-sabotage when Kelsey pouts in the bathroom for so long that Sean feels compelled to stay with baby Etta. But really, are we supposed to believe that NBC would let their underage "parents"-much less the babies-starve, or somehow default on their ersatz "rent?" Whatever. The point becomes moot by day 2, as Kelsey packs herself off for a shift at a drive-through diner. So big deal, they'll earn half-pay and buy generic Cheerios. 

And what about the skater daters, Morgan and Daton? Actually, what about them? There is no less interesting couple than these two sunspots. Their biggest concern is whether they'll still be together a year or two from now. (Hint: no.) It's not surprising that they're largely checked-out, since they only went on the show to test their relationship. Judging by how desperately Daton wanted to ditch Morgan to go skate, my question is: What relationship?

Which brings us to the couples who did well: Sasha and Jordan (who were such chill parents, they barely popped up last night) and Kelly (pictured) and Austin. Finally, we ran into some consequences! Only they were the troubling unintended kind, like what happens when a teenage girl is so good at playing house that she wants to get knocked up immediately? Like what happens when a social experiment induces the subject to misbehave? Like what happens when a well-meaning boyfriend has to call in the Magnum infantry, because his girl's got ideas? To think, just last week she was Pregnancy-Belly Kelly who couldn't leave fast enough.

What do you think? Is Kelly on a stretch of bad road? Why did only he girls' moms visit? Is anyone learning anything? Ooh, and be sure to come back next week-one of the faux-mommies loses her mind.
