The Fosters

Previously on The Fosters...

I'm always gonna have feelings for you,

but I don't trust you.

Nothing's fine right now,

including my marriage.

I don't even know what that little kiss was about.

It was nothing.

I remember a young man,

African American, got on the bus.

Blood all over his shirt and face.

That's Joe Olsen,

the son of the owner of the S.U.V. that hit the kids.

Didn't you say the guy on the bus was black?

Yeah, but this Joe Olsen shows up in this pharmacy

40 minutes after the accident?

I'm sorry, but that's not a coincidence.

I got my G.E.D. and I join the army in two weeks.

Congratulations, Carmen!

That's been your goal for, like, so long.

Brooke and me were in a fight

and Rita came upstairs,

and then she hit me.

Brooke?

No, Rita.

I never laid a hand on her.

It's true. Rita punched her in the face.

So I decided I'm gonna wait to join the army

till after I graduate high school.

But you got your G.E.D.

Yeah, but if the army doesn't work out,

she can probably get a better job with a high school diploma.

You wanna share the other reason?

I guess...

I'm also sorta

shaken up about Rita

hitting me.

Why are you lying?

I'm not.

Brooke hit you. Why are you covering for her?

Why is she in group?

She's not even part of the program.

Everyone who lives here participates in group.

What's she got on you, Carmen?

You know, I don't appreciate the accusation.

She wasn't talking to you.

Yeah, let her talk.

Why, Carmen? After everything that Rita's done for you.

I don't get it.

You don't have to get it, bitch.

You the bitch.

Hey, hey, hey! Kiara, Brooke,

that's a U.A. for both of you.

Like, I don't even think Carmen would even cover for Brooke.

She hates her.

And what would I have on her, okay?

She's foreman, she's got all her privileges.

She's like the G.U. poster girl.

But I gotta say, the army's gonna be your job.

Why doesn't she want to get the hell out of here?

Yeah, why don't you want to get out of here, Carmen?

Can we just be done with me?

Can't somebody else talk?

Okay.

Dee.

Going home for the weekend.

How are you feeling about that?

So the bus driver lets off a bleeding, agitated guy

in front of a pharmacy.

And a little while later...

in walks Joe Olsen.

So?

So what if this guy is a friend of Joe's?

What if Joe lends his father's car to the guy,

he runs a red light,

hits Ana and the twins in the Volvo,

and takes off?

So he goes down the alley, gets on the bus...

And gets off in front of the pharmacy, calls Joe.

Joe comes and sees that his friend is bleeding,

goes into the pharmacy to get bandages or whatever.

Yeah, but, I mean...

He could have gotten them for himself.

- He's got that cut over the eye. - No, no, no.

That's not a fresh cut.

That's not a fresh cut.

And what is he doing in Linda Vista 30 minutes after the accident

when he told us that he was at work?

You've got an interesting theory, Stef, but, I mean,

there's no way to I.D. the guy on the bus

or connect him to Olsen.

So...

So what you're saying...

You have an interesting theory.

- Hey, you all set? - Yeah.

We're gonna miss you around here.

I'm gonna miss y'all too.

And thank you for everything y'all did for me.

We were happy to do it, A.J.

You're leaving?

Yeah, Mike finally got his foster license.

Don't be a stranger.

I won't.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'll talk to you later.

Okay. Let's go. Bye.

Bye, y'all.

This sucks.

I mean, Jesus is at boarding school,

Callie's at Girls United,

Jude's at camp, and Brandon's, like, never here.

It's like I'm an only child.

Woe is you.

Woe is me.

And no one even cares how I feel.

That was Callie's social worker.

Yeah, is she coming home?

Nope.

Apparently, after she spoke with Callie and Brandon,

she found some inconsistencies she would like to discuss with us.

You've got pretty hair.

Thanks.

You've got a pretty face, too.

Is that what you came in here to tell me?

How pretty I am?

I want you gone.

You're not on probation, you don't got to be here.

But I want to be here.

I'm getting out of here in a few weeks,

and if that doesn't happen because of you,

my boyfriend's gonna cut that pretty little face of yours.

Why are you so worried about me?

If you didn't hit Carmen?

I'm not worried about you.

I just don't like you.

That hurts my feelings.

You think this is a joke?

No.

I think you are.

As you all know,

on Saturday, you'll be performing...

I need ten hours with Jin.

Ten? And when do I get him?

Mornings and nights.

And you get days?

I have to drive back and forth.

That's not my problem.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

You might want to pay attention.

Sorry.

What the judges are looking for is the "goose bump" factor.

So, composers, please work with your pianist's performance.

The passion of the play, not just the proficiency.

Okay? Let's get to work. Clock's ticking.

Six hours.

Six hours? That sucks.

You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me.

Yeah, and you wouldn't have a prepared piano piece

if you hadn't ripped me off.

Brandon, can I get a word?

Sure.

You had a rough start here at Idyllwild.

Well, yeah, but that's because...

You have a big ego.

That's a good thing to have as an artist. Embrace it.

And know that you're exceptional.

Thank you.

Do you believe you can win this thing?

Do you?

I mean, yes. Yes, I do.

Good.

So do I.

What kind of inconsistencies?

She didn't say.

She wants to talk to some of the girls

that were here with you at the same time.

The only girls left are Daphne and Kiara.

And Carmen.

How's it going with her?

Fine.

And Brooke?

Yeah.

Hopefully, this is the last hurdle we have to jump over

and then you can come home.

Have you heard what's happening with Rita?

No.

No charges have been brought against her.

So far, as far as I know, the D.A. is still investigating, so...

Carmen's lying.

I think that you're probably right,

but it's not your job to find out why. Okay?

You have to keep your head down

until we can get you home.

You cannot get into it with these girls.

Just a few days till the court date.

This time next week, you'll be adopted.

No one can take you away from us ever again.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You hang in there.
