The Fosters

Previously on The Fosters...

So, you ever heard of Declan Rivers?

That's who Eminent Power wants me to play with.

I think you shouldn't want to do it without me.

What am I supposed to tell people?

That he's an in-class aide who's there to help you

catch up on everything you've missed.

Why aren't you in class? You're late. Let's go.

It's easier to be alone than it is

to constantly be misunderstood.

- We've been, uh... - We've been doing this wrong.

You used to do that all the time when we were married.

You'd forget to breathe. It used to scare the bejesus out of me.

Real enemies of free speech

are flame throwers.

Like Shiloh McCullon.

Honestly, I don't see how I could

finish my portfolio in time

with everything that's going on with Ximena.

My DACA hasn't been renewed yet.

- What is this? - That's apology fruit.

Just thought you should know that Olivia and I broke up.

Is there any way you'd give me another chance?

Do I have to answer you now?

Students have voted "no" to Anchor Beach Academy.

Board still has the final vote tomorrow.

Has Nick texted you again?

- I texted him. - Mariana, seriously?!

So you don't wanna just barge in

and disrupt her speech.

Why not?

Well, because then it becomes a...

"Radical Protesters Interrupt Shiloh McCullon Event... "

Yeah, and we wanna use all the press she gets

to draw attention to Ximena's situation.

Right? To put pressure on Immigration to give her a hearing.

A detention hearing?

No, a hearing to delay any actions

until my DACA status is decided.

She can at least get out of this church

until they figure everything out.

Okay, but Shiloh's supporters don't give a damn about Ximena.

They want to end DACA,

and deport every undocumented person in the country.

Right, which is why we need press

that goes beyond her audience.

We need something that's gonna resonate,

you know, in a positive way.

I don't want you guys doing anything

that'll get you arrested.

I mean it, Sean.

Don't lose your shit and do something stupid.

I won't.

And you,

I mean, now that you've applied to your art school,

you can't just focus on me.

You gotta get that portfolio done.

- I am! - Well, how's it coming?

Good. Promise.

Stef!

Hi! I... I... I just wanted to drop this off

as a thank you for checking in on Logan over the weekend.

Oh, thank you very much.

It was... it was really not a problem.

Dean and I had a great weekend away.

It was just what we needed to, you know,

reconnect and... and get back on track.

- So... - Good!

That's good! I'm... I'm glad you had a great time.

So, do you and Lena have any plans for your birthday?

It is your birthday this weekend, isn't it?

Yeah, it... it is.

How did... How'd... how'd you remember that?

I guess I'm just good that way, I guess.

Um, but if you're not doing anything,

Dean and I would love to,

you know, take you out to dinner.

Or...

- I don't know. - Well, that...

That's very sweet just Lena and I are...

got a little something in the backyard.

That, um...

My friend, Jenna,

her birthday is the day after mine,

so we kinda always do a little something together,

but it's usually mostly her friends.

But please! You... you guys should come by.

Bring Logan, of course, you know, um...

I will warn you, however,

that it normally ends up being mostly gay women.

We'd love to!

Nick.

I was told you have information that can save Anchor Beach.

Is that true?

I don't, uh...

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't?

These texts say otherwise.

Contacting my daughter is a violation of the restraining order,

not to mention, your parole.

- I just wanted to help. - Help save the school? Really?

Do you have something?

Or were you just trying to lure Mariana here to see you?

I have something.

You better...

or I'm sending these texts straight to your parole officer.

Everything you need is on this.

You could've just emailed this to Mariana.

I'm not allowed Internet access.

The file's too big to text.

- Mariana doesn't want to see you. - I just want to apologize.

She doesn't want to see you!

She's made that very clear!

I know.

And I understand why.

I am truly sorry

that I brought a gun into your house.

First you brought a gun into the school.

Then, you broke into my house,

- and you laid in wait. - I was never gonna hurt her!

You threatened to kill yourself in front of my daughter.

You completely traumatized her,

and you keep traumatizing her.

I'm sorry.

If you were truly sorry,

you would stop trying to contact her.

My dad's gonna kill me...

for giving you that.

Nick, your father is part of the problem.

He's a bully.

He's abusive and now, he's your jailer?

You need to talk to your therapist,

your... your parole officer, someone.

- There is no one. - What about your mother?

I destroyed the model.

At the school.

- How? - He took me there one day after therapy.

I said I had to go to the bathroom.

And I smashed it.

- Why? - Because I hate him.

Hey, Taylor!

- So, I met Declan. - Good for you.

Yeah, but check this out.

I told him I wouldn't game without you,

so he got Eminent Power to sign you too.

What? Aren't you stoked?

I thought that's what you wanted...

You don't really want me to do this.

You just did it because I made you feel bad.

That's not true.

I mean, yeah, you did make me feel like a jerk,

but I kinda was being a jerk.

Please? It won't be the same without you.

Okay, but...

won't I just be, like, the third wheel?

I won't let that happen.

You will not be left out. I promise.

And Declan's super cool. You're gonna love him.

Okay.

Where is she?

- Hey! - Hey.

Haven't seen you since...

Since you gave her an apology fruit salad?

Do you wanna go out with me?

Well, why don't you ask me and find out?

So... so you wanna go out with me?

Uh... how about tomorrow night?

No, I... I can't. It's my mom's birthday.

- What about Saturday? - I'm working Saturday.

Sunday?

Teaching Pilates on Sunday.

Wait, you teach Pilates?

Yeah. Why?

No reason, I guess.

Well, how 'bout this?

You tell me whenever you figure out your schedule,

- when you wanna plan something. - Deal.

Huh! Nicely played.

So what? You've decided on Wyatt?

No. I've decided that I don't need to decide.

It's all new, I mean, even with Mat,

even though he's old, it's kind of new,

if you get what I mean.

So I don't have to be exclusive to anyone.

So, are you going to tell them

that you're seeing all of them?

I don't see why I have to.

It's not like they run in the same circles.

Anyone seen Lena?

- Not yet. - She doesn't get a vote.

We've got all the votes we need,

so this is just a formality.

- Let's do it. - Alright.

Hey, what happened?

I'll explain later, honey.

All in favor of Anchor Beach charter dissolving...

Before you vote, there's something you need to know.

Is this necessary?

We all know how you feel.

Wait, what's that?
