THE FOSTERS RECAP: Padre 1x15

Wow. I really hope everyone had their tissues for that one. That was quite the tear jerker, especially for Callie. Why was she the one crying the most out of everyone? She didn’t even know Frank that well. That Jesus/Emma/Lexi call was awkward, and that music they played when she left was even more awkward. Those Jude/Callie flashbacks were really something, though. I love that we got to see those. I’m happy Brandon and Callie confronted their issues, and I’m beyond ecstatic and excited that Callie is going to come home.

So let’s mix it up and not start with the big event of the week, shall we? Let’s talk about Jesus and Emma, and more importantly, Jesus, Emma and Lexi. Lexi totally thought Emma was going to be ugly. Pretty girls don’t wrestle, right? Wrong. She’s definitely going to show up in the next few episodes to haunt Jesus about her. Also, could we not have found a poor chair for the girl? She was kneeling on the floor, for God’s sake. I want to say she could have sat in the chair, but that would have made answering the video call more awkward if she was directly in front of the camera and Jesus was nowhere to be seen instead of the other way around. They were super cute tonight though, and I know Mariana is going to report to Lexi about the goings-on between them. She’s definitely suspicious too. Who wouldn’t be? Lexi is all the way in Honduras, never to return unless she can get into an American school and get a visa so she can enter the country legally. Emma’s a nice girl, a pretty girl, a sweet girl. She’s girly enough to maintain herself properly, but she keeps Jesus in check and teases him adequately. I was on the fence before the doorstep scene tonight, but I know now that she likes him, like, a lot. The awkward Jesus music proved it. I hope that one works itself out. As much as he probably wants to, he can’t wait for Lexi forever.

So that beginning was intensely confusing, because for a second, I thought Frank was alive and everything was good, and that someone else had died. Then I remembered no one else had died, and I was back to being confused. Until it randomly started snowing; then I knew it was a dream or something. That reception was definitely unique, starring the almost-convicted cop, the almost-pregnant lesbian, and the almost-adopted Jude. No one is really definitive in who they are right now. HE CALLED HER MOM. I swear, the first time I watched that clip on Facebook, I nearly cried. Then I watched a bunch of other times, and then tonight and I almost cried all of those times too. It was so cute. I love him for taking that step. Now he has to call Stef mom, because he still calls her Stef. 

Then we have Connor and the stupid Ouija board. I know he moved it to YES, and I know that was the right thing to do, but I have a really weird paranoia where Jude is going to do it again right before they sign the papers or something and it’s gonna move to NO and then he’s gonna freak and back out. Like, I’m freaking about this thing that probably isn’t even going to happen and I have no idea why.

That chat that Lena and her mom had where she finally told her how she felt about her constant “candor” was great. So was the chat between Callie and Stef after she lost the necklace. My heart melted.

It also melted when Callie and Mariana had their little scene in the kitchen with the deviled eggs. I missed their sisterly bonding times.

Mariana's logic makes no sense.

It seems like that was the first time Callie smiled in a long time, and that makes me happy. She deserves to have happiness again after all the stuff she put herself through. You could tell Stef and Lena were being really cautious with her, and I can’t really word why I think that properly. I think it was probably because they didn’t know if she wanted to be there, but she obviously did. I don’t know how to say it, and I know that’s because I’m not sure myself why they were behaving that way.

Brandon and Callie’s relationship development was great in that episode. I love that he realized the relationship they had was only going to work if Callie gave up everything she cared about. I love that she didn’t lose that necklace and that both of them realized this truly wasn’t going to work, whether she got adopted or not. Although she is now, or I assume so. That is what “coming home” means, right?

Those Jude/Callie flashbacks were amazing. I loved that we got to learn something about them, considering we know a lot about everyone else but not them. They amazed me, but my favorite one (or two) was when she walked in on Jude standing in her ruined room, and then when she realized at the end that she was actually the one who smashed it. She must have blocked that out and replaced it with something else, and then when Jude told Callie it was her and not him who smashed it, it unlocked or something. Those were cool to see.

What do you think is going to happen next week? Do you think Mariana is going to something she shouldn’t with Chase so he’ll stop paying attention to Kelsey and start paying attention to her? Do you think that Jesus and Emma are going to kiss? I think Brandon tells Talya that he and Callie were dating, and that he loves her. That’ll be fun. Maybe she’ll revert back to b*tch Talya.
