Lena is, presumably, settling in to her principal role after saving Anchor Beach.
And Jesus is, well, missing?
Gone on vacation with Emma?
Trapped in a room learning roller-derby stats?
Whos to say, because Jesus doesnt seem to be at home.
Yeah, its a lot.
Per usual, Callie Adams Foster is having a very intense few days.
Has any teenager led such an intense life?
Sometimes I long for the days when Callie would go running off to Mexico.
Like, at least have a little bit of fun, girl.
Alas, there are too many important things going on for Callie to have fun.
Remember that creepster ICE agent following her around after Ximena won a stay of deportation?
Thankfully, he onlyseemscreepy.
Good ol Alan here confronts Callie because he wants to apologize.
Chasing down innocent people isnt why he got into the business.
He sincerely wants to keep our country safe, but the job has changed and he doesnt approve.
There is a raid coming up and Alan wants Callie there with her camera.
Her next piece: a shirtless portrait of Aaron.
No wonder the kid is so confused as to what you want!
Callie didnt know how Aaron would feel about including them, especially if this portrait goes public.
Would Aaron be okay being outed like that?
Later, Aaron explains that coming out as transgender is tricky.
When someone comes out as gay, people tend to see that as that person being authentic.
When someone transgender comes out, many people can feel like theyve been tricked and lied to.
What a wonderful, important character to have on a teen drama.
Callie, Mariana, and Aaron rush over.
The entire scene as ICE pulls up and begins to run down their four targets is harrowing.
Again, what a progressive story line to be telling on a teen drama.
You go,The Fosters.
Because Callie is learning and growing as a person, she enlists Stef to help.
Stef cant really do much, but she does suggest Aaron disclose that hes transgender to the police.
He doesnt feel safe being in a mens prison and he doesnt belong in a womens prison.
The police have no idea what to do with him.
Unable to do nothing, Callie meets Alan in a park and proceeds to yell at him for awhile.
He wont corroborate Aarons story, even though he knows Aaron was only shoved.
He could lose his job and he has his family to think about.
He doesnt want to set off any alarms.
Callie thinks someone at ICEneedsto set off some alarms.
She is disappointed, angry, and frustrated.
So, you know, its a typical Tuesday for Callie.
As it so happens, Alan is moved by Callies speech.
Callie gets a call from Aaron he is a free man.
Charges were dropped because someone at ICE corroborated his story.
Callie runs over to Aarons place immediately to see to it hes okay.
It was dehumanizing and it was in no way a solution to the problem.
It motivates Aaron to be more open about his story.
He wants Callie to add his scars to her portrait of him.
He wants to be a face for transgender issues.
Aaron isnt playing around anymore.
As teens do, Aaron and Callie celebrate with a make-out session!
Only, once Aaron asks if this means they are getting back together, Callie stops.
She is internally freaking out and tells Aaron that she isnt ready for them to be back on.
He can do whatever he wants.
And then she bolts, just as quickly as she arrived.
Oh, Callie, always with the internal conflict.
In other family news:
Oh, boy.
You know what finally gets Susan over the hump?
A chat with Brandon, another child of divorce.
Brandon Foster, Teenage Therapist.
He tearfully tells Stef that Tess wants a separation but he has no idea why.
He loves his wife so much!
Dean deserves a happy ending.
After much deliberation, Jude and Declan are back to heavy flirting for the show.
Although Declan grabbing Judes butt during a good-bye hug is most assuredlynotfor the show.
Ximenas mouth was saying words like Youre in love with him, but her eyes were screaming Pick me.
