Tonight on the ABC Families their new drama, THE FOSTERS returns tonight with its winter premiere called, “Things Unsaid.” On tonight’s show Despite the threat of major consequences, Callie and Brandon are determined to be together, and a fight over a boy leads Kelsey to betray Mariana in a big way. Did you watch last week’s episode? We did and we recapped it here for you.
On last show Callie met Rita Hendricks (O’Donnell), a woman who worked in the foster care system, and it was clear it would take Callie some time to adjust to Rita’s no-nonsense guidance. Brandon came clean about the reason Callie ran away and, unbeknownst to Stef and Lena, he set out to track her down. Meanwhile, Mariana volunteered to help with the school play in order to impress a cute boy (Clayton), but when she got paired up with an old “friend,” it could spell trouble. Jesus’ meds were having concerning side effects, and he was desperate to find an alternative to taking the pills. Mike suggested he participate in contact sports to help relieve his aggression, and Jesus tried out for the wrestling team.
On tonight’s show when Callie’s probation officer learns of Callie and Brandon’s relationship, it poses serious consequences for both teens. Stef and Lena are forced to take more severe measures to keep them apart. Meanwhile, Stef returns to work, leaving Lena riddled with anxiety. Jesus bonds with his wrestling team but Lena’s reaction to a hazing tradition threatens to shake the hard-earned respect of his teammates. Kelsey’s jealousy over Mariana’s growing attraction to Chase (guest star Garrett Clayton “Teen Beach Movie”) leads Kelsey to expose some nasty secrets from Mariana’s past. Fearing Callie’s actions will get them both sent away from the Fosters’ home, Jude makes preparations.
