The Fosters- AH! Are you freaking kidding me!? Lena has the dream about the baby, they had all that talk about where they're going to put the crib, and Lena ends up having preeclampsia? So the doctor wants to induce labor, even though the child won't survive. Lena obviously wants to risk it, but Stef is worried.
And Lena confesses to her mom that she's afraid, because she's the only one in the house not related to someone else there by blood- Stef and Brandon, Jesus and Mariana, Callie and Jude. That since there's no blood, they're not real family and one day they'll be all, "You're not my real mom!" So part of her wanted a real kid. But her mom sets her straight, that of course they're all a real family.
And then the next morning, Lena wakes up sees the little girl who looks like she could be her daughter, who ends up giving her her stuffed animal, who just happens to be named "Frankie", which is what Lena wanted to name her daughter. Way to twist the knife show.
Also, the fricking fake out where it seems like Lena is going to tell Stef Dani effed her son, but then when they come back from the break, she only told Lena about him getting high on the pot brownies.
But ah, we found out Mike actually did intend to kill Ana that night. But instead he found her all strung out, came to his senses, and this was the turning point for him with regards to drinking- the fact that the drinking made him actually want to murder someone made him realize, maybe he shouldn't be drinking anymore. So to make up for wanting to kill her, he's been trying to get her straight.
And heh, Wyatt asked Brandon for advice on Callie, thinking maybe her freakout was about him. So Brandon eventually talks to her (and c'mon, you just know part of him was hoping it was), but he eventually figures out it was about Liam. And he tells Callie she can't keep shutting people out, that she needs to talk to Wyatt about it rather than push him away. So, she does confess to Liam that she was raped, and that she's not ready for sex. And he's cool with it, he's just happy she's talking to him about real things in her life. (And is it me, or is Wyatt basically the same character as his character on Finding Carter)
Also, she's inspired to have some real talk with Jude too, telling him she knows he's angry because they have different fathers and they couldn't be adopted together and afraid that Sophia will take her away from him, so if he doesn't want her to see Sophia again, she won't. It does get him to finally talk again, and he gives the touching speech when they plant a tree for poor dead Frankie.
