The Fosters

Previously on The Fosters...

- Zachary! - Who is that?

My mom. I don't have time for a girlfriend right now.

- I'm sorry. - You don't trust your business partner?

- We're not business partners. - We could be.

I know you were at school making fake IDs.

Did you steal the e-readers, too?

Vico did.

I accused Daphne of taking them!

I just... got off my ADHD meds.

Well, that's cool.

Nervous?

Harness that energy and focus.

Focus is key.

I really like you, but I love Lexi.

But I really think we need to break up.

If you're interested in using me as

sperm donor, I'm in.

If you wanna use Timothy,

I think we should get together, all three of us, talk about it.

The lawyer would like to know if you two would like to see your father first.

- Oh, we don't. - You don't have to. But I wanna see my dad.

He has agreed to sign away his parental rights.

You look just like your mother.

You wanna come in?

No. I, uh...

I just... I wanna know what you're gonna say to Jude.

What? Whaddaya mean?

Well, when he asks you why you stopped writing,

and why when you got out of prison like a year ago,

you didn't even bother to call us...

and don't say that you think we're better off

without you because we both know that that is a cop out.

I had to get my life back together, Callie.

Had to get a job, had to...

find a decent place to live.

Before you could even talk to us?

No.

Before I could get you back.

I didn't want this to go down like this. I wanted to have something to offer you.

It just... it takes time.

I just wanna do right by you kids.

You can't...

You can't say those things to Jude. You're just gonna confuse him.

Callie, please, you've gotta give me a chance, Callie...

- Please. - No, you're too late. No, you're too late.

Hey.

Your dinner's in the oven. How was group?

I didn't go.

I just, um... couldn't deal with it today

so I hung out in the lobby.

I wasn't like playing Candy Crush or anything, I did homework.

But group is a condition of your probation, you know.

- She knows. - Your P.O. is going to get your attendance report.

No, I know. I'm gonna make it up. I just... had a bad day.

You wanna talk about it?

I'm just hungry.

I think this whole thing with her father signing away his rights

is probably hitting her pretty hard, you know.

Yeah, well, that's all the more reason for her to go to group, so she can talk about it.

Well, give her some time. She will.

Not all of us are like you with your relentless need

to process things the very second they happens.

Some of us just need a little more time to figure out how we feel.

What's going on?

I'm moving in.

To Brandon's room? No. No way. What if I want it?

Too bad. Snoozers are losers. Get out of my room.

It's not your room!

Hey, hey, what is happening in here?

He's trying to move into Brandon's room. Like, don't I get a say in this?

It is my room now. I need some peace and quiet. I can't concentrate!

Well, duh, you have ADHD.

Oh, hey. All right, that is enough, Mariana. Go to your room.

Thank you.

- What are you doing? What are you doing? - I'm making the bed...

No no no no no. No one is moving in here.

- Go on, get out of here! - You just told Mariana...

To go back to her room, yes, and the same applies to you. Go, now.

Fine.

Don't blame me when I fail Algebra.

Really?

Hey.

Are... you gonna eat those?

Hey, so I've been thinking, um...

are you sure? Are you sure you wanna see Dad?

What are you hoping he's gonna say?

I guess I just want a chance to say goodbye.

But what if he doesn't... say goodbye, I mean... ?

What if he says, like, he wants to get us back or something?

He won't, but if he did, what would you think?

I don't know. I mean, he is our dad.

- He up yet? - He's in the shower.

So listen, uh... I wanted to thank you for the money and everything.

And I want you to know that I'm gonna pay you back.

I promise. I'm gonna get a job, or...

School is your job.

Let's just say the money was a gift?

- Are you serious? - Totally.

Makes me happy to help you out.

I do have one request, though.

You need to start playing piano again.

Sure.

So get to it.

- Right now? - Come on, play for the cook.

Ok.

Hey.

Sorry.

Wow. How'd you make this happen?

He hasn't touched that thing since he moved in.

Maybe I'm a good influence.

So, um...

I've been thinking about our talk the other night,

you know, you moving in, and you're right.

Brandon probably has resented sharing Stef and Lena all this time...

you know, with the twins and now Callie and Jude and...

I just don't want him to feel like he has to share me, too.

You know. Not right now.

Yeah, of course.

No, you're right. You're 100% right.

It's not that I don't appreciate everything you're doing. I do.

Just maybe when he moves back to his mom's

we can... revisit the idea.

Yeah, of course.

Ok.

Oh-oh, bad news?

If you consider getting kissed and dumped on the same day bad news.

Well, you didn't give him your underwear, too, did you?

Relax, I'm kidding.

Since I moved to Dad's, I don't get to tease you as much.

Kinda my job as a big brother.

Yeah, well, we miss you, too.

How is everyone? How's Callie? Is she happy to be home?

She is. How about you, how's life in the man cave?

I'm on lock down.

Why?

I told my dad about the piano money and everything.

Ouch. Well, it sucks you're grounded, but to be honest,

I'm a little relieved that Mike's isn't all fun and games,

'cause then you'd never want to come home. I mean, you are gonna move back, right?

- Definitely. - Good, 'cause Jesus is eyeing your room.

If you don't come soon, you might not have a room to come home to.

Don't be a stranger.

Foster, you ok?

I don't get this crap.

If I fail this midterm, I'm totally getting kicked off the wrestling team.

Haven't you been studying?

I'm tryin'.

I'm sure it's tough with Lexi in town.

Lexi left. We broke up.

Oh, yeah?

She hooked up with some guy in Honduras.

Hey, do you think maybe you and me could study together tonight?

Um...

Yeah... I don't think I can.

Sorry.

I need my own room.

Need? Really? Well I need One Direction tickets.

I'm pretty that's not gonna happen either.

Come on. What is it gonna take for you to help me convince Moms

that I should get Brandon's room?

- Tommy, I'll have that. - Whatever.

Jesus.

So if I do your chores for a week?

A week? Oh hells no. Six months.

Six months? Are you insane.

I'm not gonna be your slave. One month.

Four.

One.

Mmmm... no, I don't think so.

Two months.

Then you've got to go to bat for me with Moms.

Sucker. I would've done it for one.

Oh God.

- Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. - What?

It's Zac's mom. I'm pretty sure she hates me.

Please, don't leave me alone with her.

Yeah, good luck, sucker.

You're Mariana, right?

I'm Amanda Rogers, Zac's mom.

Is Zac ok? He was home sick, right?

Lovesick's more like it.

And I think that what he really needs is,

um, a little cheering up.

And just so you know, I just had my annual physical

and got tested for, you know, everything and all clear.

What? This is a primal need for you to spread your seed?

Honey.

What, I just... I'm curious

why he would want to donate in the first place.

I guess that could seem a little odd to you.

Um...

Very few people find it in their hearts

to open their homes to foster children,

not to mention the "high risk" ones.

You're the kind of parents that should be bringing kids into this world, so...

Good answer.

Um, you'll, uh, you'll sign a contract?

What sort of contract? I didn't...

Well, basically that says we're the parents, not you.
