The Fosters 4X13: Cruel and Unusual
🕑 Added 2025-08-12 00:03:08 +0000 UTCI'm so ready give Callie everything in the world. No matter what this poor girl does, she just constants gets screwed over. Yes, she's home now, but at what cost?
Okay so, Stef is completely fed up with everything that's going on. Brandon losing his spot at Juilliard, Mariana taking Jesus' pills, Jude smoking pot. She decides the best way to deal with this is to take the doors off of everyone's rooms. I'm not down for this, but I'll give her a pass since her focus right now is on Jesus in the hospital, so she's probably not really in her right mind right now.
While the doors are coming down, Robert shows up, pissed off that Callie is back in juvie and no one bothered to tell him. I want to be annoyed at Stef for this too, but honestly, I kind of forgot he existed. There is just so much else going on right now. She promises to keep him updated in the future and he goes on his way.
However, over at juvie, Callie gets approached by a guard who is upset that she doesn't want to party with him. Afterwards, a girl comes up to her and tells Callie to stay away from her man. Not an issue. Callie wants nothing to do with him. Then, another girl approaches and tells Callie to stay away from him. But because he's got shitty drugs and girls end up getting sick from them. Later the 'stay away from my man girl' gets sick. She told Callie not to call for help, but the girl was turning blue so Callie called a guard. She ended up needing to go to the ER and the fucking staff acts like it's Callie fault. And they cannot fathom that Callie doesn't know what she took or where she got it. Callie is just trying to keep a girl from dying.
Later, the asshole guard comes up to her and tells her that it's her fault that they know drugs are in juvie now. He picks up her mop bucket, throws it through a window and tells the staff she attacked him. She gets thrown in solitary. What the actual fuck. Can this girl please get some god damn peace?
Callie ends up being offered a deal, she pleads guilty to a bunch of stuff and stays in juvie until she's 18. But when she gets out, her record will be expunged. However, if she wants to plead not guilty, they are going to try her in adult court. She'll be able to plead her case (she's so not guilty of any of this bullshit), but if she's found guilty, she ends up in jail for 5 years. She decides she cannot go back to juvie, so they try her as an adult which means she's out on bond and gets to go home for the time being.
Meanwhile, Jesus is not really doing well. His brain seems pretty compromised. He can't remember the words for things, who people are, he's constantly spasming, and shaking. When Mariana breaks out to see him, she's shocked at what bad shape he's in. Stef finds her and tells her she can't cry in front of them. It scares and upsets him. They all need to put up an optimistic front for him. However, when moms ask the doctor when they can take Jesus home, they are told he'll need round the clock care and he should stay at the rehab at the hospital. While they are touring it, they decide they can't imagine leaving him there and decide to bring him home. Lena takes a leave of absence to stay home with him.
Mat end up breaking up with Mariana since he decides he can't trust her. Brandon got it in his head that she slept with Matt (remember the pregnancy test?) and even though she denied it, he feels like he can't tell when she's being truthful anymore. Turns out, that pregnancy test wasn't for Mariana. But it does seem like it was Emma. If she's pregnant with Jesus's kid, this is such bad timing right now.
And moms have decided that Jude can see Noah again. But no more pot. We were sort of ending on a bit of a positive note, everyone is home, we're gathered around Jesus eating pizza. Trying to act happy. When suddenly Jesus cannot remember what pepperoni is, freaks out and breaks a plate on the floor. This is not going to be an easy road.
Oh, and Mike asked Ana and the baby to move in. She said yes, but later Stef reminded him that he's fostering AJ and Ana has a record. Not long after that, he asked AJ if he wanted to be adopted. I have no idea if this is to get around the system so Ana and the baby can move in, but it's really suspicious timing.

The great mist of Gaming
Love that Jesus and Callie are both finally home. I feel for jesus. I just can't imagine what it feels like having brain damage and your brain just not being like it was before and I know that this will take him a long time to heal from but Im just happy he atleast has the company of his family an girlfriend their too help him becuase just like Lena I don't think I could handle him being at the hospital by himself becuase at home atleast he has his family and now Lena (who took some time off work) who can help and be their for him 24/7. I really hope Callie wins her case becuase she should not be he one going to prison. that scene where Marianna secretly visits her brother in the hospital was sooo so sad. Just like Stef says to her i hope she doesn't blame herslef and that she knows noeone blames her for what happened and hope that going back to therpapy helps her work through why she has been acting the way she has for quite a while now. Again another episode that just made me emotional. Im glad that Brandon and his girlfriend are now finally offically fully over becase he can't be out here playing step dad to a kid when he is only a kid himself and needs to focus on his own future first. Glad that Stef and Lena let Jude see his boyfriend again because he couldn't loose another person in his life. I get why Stef ook off the doors but I think it went a bit far which i hope she realsies by the next episode and they get their doors back becuase I get that her mind was everywhere and she might not have been thinking straight when she told them to remove the doors because her mind was at the hospital worried about her son and at the jail worried about her daughter so she thought that this was the easiet thing to do at the moment and justified it in her mind stating that they don't deserve privacy which is wrong becuase everyone deserves privacy no matter what or weather they are a adult or not. So hopegully Stef comes to realise her mistake regarding the doors soon.
