THE FOSTERS RECAP: Things Unknown 2x01

Let's start with Brandon. My poor baby got beat up by that asshole Vico and his dumbass friends. I hate Vico more and more with each thing he does, but hopefully the only time he'll be in the show now are flashbacks. I cannot believe him. Why in the freaking world did he do that??I mean, I know he was angry and everything, but dude, really? How immature. And Brandon's hand, oh my gosh. I was all optimistic when the doctor said that he could play the piano again, but then he made me sad when he wouldn't try because he was afraid, and then he started crying about it with Mike, and I almost cried.

All I want is the feeling in his hand to come back, and for him to be able to play again. From what I've heard, apparently he will be able to, but in a different way, whatever that means. I'm also unhappy with Vico's sentence: two years' probation and military school. All because he miraculously has no record and a rich father who can get him a powerhouse attorney. He should have gone to juvie for that. Lord knows Callie's gone for a lot less. That was completely unfair. 

Next, we have my favorite Fosters couple, Jesus and Emma, or as they are so affectionately known, Jemma. 

Sneak peek from next week! I'm excited for this episode. It's also a cute picture of them.
They were getting along so well. Jesus went back on his meds, and he apologized, and she accepted, and they kissed and everything was happy go lucky.

Now we move on to Jude. He just gets more adorable with each passing episode. He's literally the only character who's only there to be cute. In times of need and incessant sadness, insert a Jude scene and suddenly everyone is happy. He's the most adorable thing ever, and I hope he never leaves. I also hope Connor comes back soon; I just want to see him go to the batting cages with his dad and Jude. That'll be a cute scene too. Even though there's supposed to be some issues. I guess you can't have it all.

Callie, Callie. My beautiful girl. Life seems to perfectly fine for her, she's going to be adopted, and she has a cute boyfriend and a loving family. And then it all crashes and burns. First, we go to court and find out that Donald isn't actually her biological father. So the judge decides that because Robert Quinn, Callie's birth father who ditched her mother when he found out she was pregnant despite being the father and her husband, never signed her birth certificate, he may not know about her and therefore have unintentionally abandoned her. His final verdict is that until Robert Quinn terminates his should-be-nonexistent parental rights, Callie is not allowed to be adopted until she's 18. It gets more frustrating when this lady shows up:


And decides to make everyone's life more difficult than it should be by telling Stef and Lena that their fostering license is expired, so they aren't legally allowed to foster Callie until they can have it renewed, so she has to take Callie out of the Adams Foster house and into a new house for a couple days. Thankfully, Stef convinces the judge to let Callie come home and everything is well. That's when she makes the decision to go and track down this Robert Quinn man so he can terminate his should-be-nonexistent rights and we can just move on and have everyone be adopted. 

Then there's the end scene. Seems pretty normal, right? Callie's with Daffany at Not a Burger Stand, and some guy shows up to pay for some milkshakes. Then they show his face. They wouldn't normally show a random customer's face, because they're not important. So, by default, this guy must be important. If you watch him carefully, you can see him watching Callie closely, and then he leaves an unusually large tip for them. We then follow him out to his car, and there's this girl sitting in the passenger seat.

Well doesn't she look familiar. She kinda looks like one of our resident characters, you know, the one that works at the burger joint. If we assume that that man who bought the milkshakes is Robert Quinn, then we can also assume that this is Callie's half sister. HALF. SISTER. (I mean, Maia and Bailee look so much alike that if they didn't do that angle they'd be stupid.) It also means that Callie and Jude aren't fully related because they have different fathers. Just thought I'd throw that in there for you. I think Callie finds out about her doppelganger next week, and I'm excited to see where that goes. 

I'm going to do a combo for Mike, Ana, Dani and Brandon here because this is turning out to be a lot longer than I thought it would be. So let's start with Mike. I know that when he found out about all of Brandon's escapades he was really upset, but that was not an excuse to go get drunk and then go yell at, and potentially beat up, Ana. I'm on Stef's side with her, I really want to know what happened to her. I'm scared Mike messed her up really bad. I know Dani said in the sneak peek that he blacked out and doesn't remember anything, but we have proof he was the one arguing with her, and he had a lot of blood on his knuckles. That kind of blood only gets there if you split them, and you split them by fighting. Speaking of fighting, Dani and Brandon had a big one at the school there. I was incredibly surprised when he accused her of hiding all these secrets from Mike and how she's cheated on him and blah blah whatever. when the only person I remember seeing Dani kiss other than Mike is Brandon. 

Really quickly, I'd also like to talk about this picture I found on The Fosters Facebook page.


The caption for this photo is something about their Instagram page, which is why everyone's on their phones, but if we look into the convenient black box that I added, we see Julian de la Celle , the actor that plays Zac, Mariana's boyfriend person. I don't know if this picture is old or whatever, but I'm hoping it's recent, because that means he's going to come back and I'm going to get my adorable Zariana back!
