The Fosters Returns!

The Fosters Returns!

Posted by Dustin on 01.22.2014 at 4:12 pm

So ABC Family’s “The Fosters” is back for the 2nd half of their first season, in spite of attempts by various groups to have it taken off the air. Said groups are actually still trying to thwart a second season by boycotting advertisers. Good luck, it won’t happen! The ratings are too strong.

When we last saw them, Lena and Stef married, but after a kiss with Brandon, Callie ran away. Jude yelled at her when he saw them, saying she would ruin everything, including his chance of being adopted by them. She left so her brother could have a chance at that. We picked up with Stef, Lena and the rest of the gang taking way too long to realize Callie was gone. I think given the drama that surrounds her at all times, they’d have noticed immediately!

Jude confided in Brandon why she ran away, and despite Jude telling him not to, he told his moms. This of course made things worse for Callie. Lena and Stef had decided to adopt them, though I must have missed when they came to this decision. I recall that as of the end of the first half of the season they hadn’t seem to have gotten there yet. The moms were not happy with Brandon for kissing her, and went into how this could never happen again. He kept making it worse by spouting how they were in love.

Callie ended up getting arrested on purpose, I think possibly in an attempt to see her father? She tried calling him in prison, but couldn’t get through to him. My guess is this means at some point he will enter the picture. Lena and Stef spoke on her behalf at her hearing, but also said they were not yet ready to take her back into their home. I’m sure Callie felt like they abandoned her, but in reality they couldn’t bring her back while Brandon was ready to jump her bones in their house. Brandon really made me not like him and Callie in these episodes, as he was acting like a spoiled brat who had his toy taken away.

Callie ended up in a group home for other troubled teens. Rosie O’Donnell guest stars as the house mother. I really liked her in this role, and I like the idea of Callie being apart from the others to straighter her crap out. She’s supposed to find out what she’s addicted to, but she can’t figure it out yet. I think she’s addicted to self-sabotaging herself! In the home are a transgendered teen, a former drug addict, and a gang-banger who once beat Callie up in juvie. There are others, but these seem to be the main three characters we got to know. Something tells me one of them will end up dead before long too. I don’t know why, I just think they will and it will be a wake-up call for Callie.

Spoilers for the next several episodes below!
