时长: / 首播:2011-06-06
Artistic and troubled Bay Kennish has grown up with her wealthy parents John and Kathyrn and older brother Toby. Through a school experiment, she discovers that her blood type is different from her family's. After taking a DNA test, the Kennishes learn that she was in fact switched at birth with Daphne Vasquez, an athletic Deaf teen living with her single mother Regina and grandmother Adrianna on the other side of town. Bay discovers that she and her biological mother Regina have a lot in common, and the Kennishes have their first experiences with Deafness and Deaf Culture. After learing that Regina is in financial trouble, the Kennishes invite her and Daphne to move into their guest house. The Kennishes and Vasquezes must then learn to get along, while trying to get to know each other.
Title reference: From the 1928–29 painting, The Treachery of Images, by René Magritte, which has the caption, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", meaning "This is not a pipe," in French.
