The Fosters 1X17: Kids in the Hall

Ugh. I feel terrible. I 100% blamed the theft (even though I didn't know what was stolen) on Juvie. (Yes, I still don't know her name. I suck).

So Callie wants to got to Juvie's apartment, but Lena and Stef aren't comfortable with her being without parental supervision, so she invites Juvie and Kiara over to her house. They have a decent enough lunch. But Juvie is struggling. Independent living is hard. They don't give them enough money and she can't find a job because she was in and out of juvie. But, Kiara tells Callie that due to the photo she took of her, she ended up getting foster parents. Huzzah!

Callie, then asks Lena if she can take more pictures of kids in group homes to try to get them adopted as well. Lena tells her she can use the school, and it's equipment. Lots of people show up, which is lovely. At one point, Juvie asks to use the bathroom and Callie tosses her Lena's keys in case the bathroom is locked. However, the next day, we find out a bunch of Kindles were stolen from an office. Callie confronts Juvie about it, but she claims she didn't do it. And tells Callie that Brandon was in the school that night.

Brandon denies being in the building, and Callie just assumes that Juvie is lying to her. Eventually, she tells the moms that she 'forgot' she gave the keys to Juvie. But, after she talks to Brandon, he talks to Vico who cops to stealing them. I feel so bad for Juvie. I 100% thought she did it with all the talk of her getting back into the gang. Boo, Dana. You suck

Stef invites Mike and his girlfriend over for dinner. The same dinner that Lena invites Timothy to. But it's oddest dinner. I did not realize what Lena was up to until about half a second before she came out with it. But, to be honest, Stef is being just as weird about Mike and his fake girlfriend (whose name I don't know). But, they claim this is to make sure that she's okay hanging around Brandon. However, Brandon ran into at a bar the night before testing out his fake idea. They decide that it was a one time thing for both of them and to just ignore it, basically.

Jesus, after weeks of trying to cut his weight, finally made it to a lower weight class, which means he can actually get off the bench. But, it turns out (with all those scones) Emma has moved up a weight class so now they have to have a wrestle off. Emma ends up winning, but she's upset about it because she claims he 'let her win' because she was a girl. And then she kisses him, yells at him, and runs away. Later, he seeks her out and apologizes and kisses her back. They decide they are not cheaters and Jesus plans to break up with Lexi before anything else happens. Huzzah! I have nothing against Lexi, but these are two 15 year olds. They do not need to be pledging their lives to each other.

At the end of the episode, when Callie is looking through the photos that she took, she sees Brandon's car in the parking lot. Meaning, he was at the school when the told Callie he was at home. She knows he lied.

And poor Mariana is getting bullied so hardcore about her panties stunt. Kids suck. And I feel terribly for her. But it turns out, Zac is on her side. He writes a scathing review of hot senior in the newspaper to get back at him. He and Mariana seems like they are friends. I would be perfectly happy if they were to get together. But, I need Mariana to do some groveling before that happens. Zac is super nice and sweet and she was mean to him. We need to fix that if they're going to get together.
