Born This Way

While Megan is in Colorado catching up with her business, her friends in Los Angeles are wrapped up in the excitement of the Down Syndrome Association of Orange County’s red carpet ball. Steven struggles to find a date for the ball until Elena indicates interest, but because she is supposed to go to the ball with John, things get complicated for everyone.

Sean sets off on a road trip to Las Vegas to see Justin Bieber perform and go on his first blind date. It is John’s 29th birthday and his mother announces he has one year to make his music career turn a profit or he’ll have to get a real job–a challenge that kicks him into overdrive. Back in Colorado, Megan tells her mom that Down syndrome will not prevent her from living the independent life she wants in California–and that she wants to go back without her mom.

Megan, Rachel and Elena head to Trinidad with their moms for an international Down syndrome conference when real life intrudes in dramatic and potentially life-altering ways. Sean takes off on a parent-free road trip to Las Vegas to see his idol, Justin Bieber. And Cristina will not let her disability keep her from realizing a life-long dream.

While attending a Down syndrome conference in Trinidad, a health scare forces Megan to reassess her plan to move to California without her mother. Encouraged by his beautiful blind date, Sean defies his parents and goes in search of a tattoo parlor. An engagement ring can’t keep Cristina from developing a crush on her hunky dance instructor.

The dads reveal their plans for Steven and Sean to be roommates. Sean is adamant that he doesn’t want a roommate until he finds he can’t afford his dream house on his own. John tries out a new song he hasn’t quite mastered at a fundraiser. Megan comes to LA for a job interview at Best Buddies and makes plans for a future with her friends, independent of her mother.
