The Fosters

Previously, on The Fosters...

This is really hard because I still love you.

If you're ever not feeling this,

then just be honest with me.

'Cause I'd rather be hurt than surprised.

I'm not really sure I'm into guys.

I mean, I've never even kissed a girl, so how would I know?

Arbiter is responsible for the death of Jack.

And I've just learned that Justina Marks works for Arbiter.

Do you realize what you've just done?

- I don't care. - You will.

Is it true you made these false allegations

because she found out you were having sex with your foster brother?

- We're gonna fight this. - I can't sue her.

We absolutely can.

We can't because it's true.

Lena: Oh, my God.

Please tell me that I am misunderstanding this, Callie.

When did this happen?

Idyllwild.

It was only once. I thought I couldn't get adopted.

- Why would you... - Honey, honey, just...

I know that there were complications, Callie,

but why wouldn't you think you were getting adopted?

Um, remember when Rita was accused of hitting Carmen?

Well, I got her to admit that she was lying

and I recorded it.

When I told her I wasn't going to let her get away with it,

she told me that if I ruined her life that she would ruin mine.

Okay, so wait, what does this have to do with you getting adopted?

Carmen knew that I was seeing

Brandon while I was at GU.

Wait, after the restraining order?

So when I thought that

Rita was going to lose her license

and her career and everything,

I sent her the recording of what Carmen had said,

and I figured that that meant

Carmen was going to blow up my adoption

by telling my social workers everything Brandon and I had done,

and I figured if for whatever reason she didn't,

- that for sure... - Rita would.

Wait a minute, Rita knew?

Don't get mad at Rita. She thought everything was over.

Yeah, like we did.

She just wanted me to have a family.

So what are the different types of potential energy?

Mat?

Um, there's chemical, gravitational, mechanical,

- and, um... - There's one more.

Nuclear.

- Nice of you to join us, Mr. Stratos. - Sorry.

And what's an everyday example of potential energy at work?

I'll give you a hint... it was covered in the chapter.

Anyone know the answer?

Is it true Jude kissed you?

Who said that?

Well, I mean, he did it at your locker, so,

like, everyone saw it.

So what if he did?

Isn't he gay?

It really isn't any of your business, Daria.

What about Connor?

What about Connor?

He lives in LA.

Whoa!

- Are you okay? - No, I'm not. I'm very much not okay.

Yeah, well, I got that.

Is there anything I can do?

Are you back together with Lexi?

No. I mean, we talked about it, but, you know...

Good.

You want to have sex?

Mariana?

Hey.

Hey, uh, is Nick okay?

Is he here? I texted him, but he hasn't answered me.

Well, he was late during first period and he seemed kind of off.

- Like, really off. - (bell ringing)

I gotta run.

- Don't... don't do that. - All right, I'm sorry, man.

- I'm just messing with you. - Yeah, jeez.

I... I think Mariana is looking for you.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm looking for her too.

Uh, hey, are you... are you sick or something?

No, why?

Just checking.

You're a good friend.

Oh, yeah? Thanks, man.

How would you like to do your good friend a little favor?

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to destroy the family.

As soon as we found out that I could get adopted,

we stopped everything right away.

We haven't done anything since.

We are family now.

That's the only reason you let us go through with it?

Because you didn't want to destroy the family, Callie?

No. No, of course not.

I love you both and I want you to be my moms.

I can't believe this was going on all this time right under our noses.

- How did we not see this was happening? - Stef, it's not the time.

It's not the time.

We love you too, Callie.

It's... it's just a lot to wrap our heads around.

If we had told you, what would you have done?

- Hey, you got a sec? - Stef: Mike, what are you doing here?

Is Nick Stratos in school today?

- Uh... - I don't...

Let me check. Why? Is everything okay?

Uh, there was a fire at his dad's warehouse.

- What? - He's not in class.

- What happened? - Looks like arson.

Hey.

Are you okay?

You don't look so good.

Are you feeling okay?

Look, um, I'm so, so sorry

that you saw Mat and me in the garage.

I know what you're thinking,

but I swear, that's not what's going on.

I'm gonna tell you everything, okay?

Everything.

Okay.

Mat wrote me a note

telling me that he still loved me.

At least, that's what he says. I never got it.

I think Zoey must have taken it out of my bag at rehearsal or something.

Anyway, he told me about it

and he asked me to get back together with him. But...

I told him no.

- Pfft. - No, I did.

Because I'm with you now and I really like you.

And what you saw in the garage, that was just

us saying goodbye. I swear.

That's not what it looked like.

I know.

But that's the truth. Honest to God.

Yeah, sure. Sure it is. You know what?

You're just telling me all this because you guys

want to use the warehouse for your show.

No, that's not...

I don't even care about the stupid show.

You said... you said you weren't going to surprise me.

I know. I know, and I'm sorry. But that's not...

Hey,

shouldn't you two be in class?

Oh, um...

- I'm sorry. We were just... - Yeah, I can see that.

Let's go.

- Can't we just have... - No.

Let's go now.

Okay, wait, so you think Nick did it?

Well, we'd like to talk to him about it.

- (phone ringing) - Wait.

Yes?

Okay. No, I'll be right there.

Apparently, Mr. Stratos is here,

demanding to speak to us.

Mr. Stratos? Want to come on in?

Hi.

Mike was just telling us about your warehouse.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

Oh, you're gonna be when I sue you.

Uh, why... why would you sue us?

I never gave permission for the school to use it

to put on that play. So you're liable.

Yes, you did. We spoke on the phone.

I spoke with someone on the phone. Nick connected us.

Wasn't me, 'cause I didn't speak with anyone.

Now get Nick in here. I want to talk to him.

He's not here. He didn't come to school today.

Then what's his car doing here? It's right out front.

Oh. What's going on?

Nothing, love. What do you need?

- I wanted to talk to Mama. - About what?

- I saw Nick and he was... - You saw Nick?

Here at school?

He seemed really weird.

Okay, come with me.

Callie,

would you go back to class? We'll talk later.

_

_

Well, I just saw Nick and he seemed super weird.

So I take it you're the girl...

the one who's been messing with my son.

Mariana, this is Nick's father, Mr. Stratos.

Oh. Hi.

Lena: What do you mean, "super weird"?

Um, well, he was just...

It's important you tell us everything that happened.

Okay. Well,
