The Fosters: The Problem With Exes . . .
I didn’t think we could get a more powerful show than the last one, but the ending to this episode was insane!
This episode mainly centered around the adults for a change, which I really liked. I must have missed the resolution to Callie telling Lena and Steph about Liam? I’ll have to go back and rewatch it. As usual I was caught between TV and family stuff while I’m home in Virginia.
Lena’s ex the famous movie star, who is also a nasty beyotch, came to town for a visit. Basically we learned that Lena wants to get married, but Steph never has and thinks their domestic partnership is good enough and basically the same thing. However Lena always wanted to get married according to her ex, which is one of the reasons they split. The ex also couldn’t be monogamous, which Lena wanted. We also found out that Lena always wanted to have a baby of her own . . . All of this is leading up to the finale, which is a wedding episode for Lena and Steph. Now the baby? Well I think that could be tackled in a later season if they choose to. I guess one thing at a time!
We learned Mike has a drinking problem, which was hinted at in an earlier episode when he forgot to get Brandon to his audition in time. However it got pretty bad, and now that it’s back Steph can’t keep covering for him at work or with Brandon. She tried to at work, but their boss knew what was going on due to his sloppy performance and put him on leave.
Ana called Mariana again, and this time Jesus went with her to see their bio-mom. She’s living in a crack den with a dealer who is an abusive boyfriend. Jesus wanted to help her, but this time it was Mariana who said no. She tried to convince him that Ana didn’t want them or help, she just wants money for her next fix. For some reason Jesus lost his mind and sneaked out to see her. When it was late and he wasn’t home, Mariana told her moms what happened.
Steph went to the house, and Mike showed up to be her backup. They entered the house with guns drawn when nobody answered. The show ended with shots being fired!
Now we know Steph gets married in the finale, and they just wouldn’t kill her off. I do think Mike could be in big trouble though. Will they kill him off? I hope not! However from the previews one of them is in trouble as Brandon is yelling at Mariana that this is her fault, they brought her and Jesus into their family and they let this happen. Ouch!
