geebsTV commentary:
The Fosters- Hmm, some interesting reveals this ep. So it turns out the twins birth dad is a registered sex offender. According to the records Mariana looked up, he was convicted of "lewd and lascivious acts with a minor". I guess that brings up a whole lot of questions. I don't recall how old Ana was supposed to be when she had Jesus and Mariana, but was this Gabe guy over 18 when he knocked Ana up, and her family decided to make sure the cops found out?
The only problem with that theory is, why would Reagan's dad give him a job then? I mean, it took the family forever to accept Ana again or even acknowledge the twins. Why would they forgive this guy? But if he was arrested for screwing a minor who wasn't Ana, that might even be worse. Either he actually is some pervert, or he slept with a different girl who was under age while Ana was pregnant, though again, if he did that, cheated on her while she was preggers, why would her family try to help him out with a job?
While I'm annoyed they had Monty be an issue in the first place, I guess truthfully if they did bother manufacturing drama like that, at least they didn't just make it go away, out of sight, out of mind forever. I mean, obviously there's nothing going on between Lena and Monty, but its still an issue. Looks like the rumors have gone campus wide, with someone tweeting that Monty and Lena were having an affair. Mariana confronts the moms about it, asking if that's why they're having secret quiet conversations and grandma is sticking around. Heh, little did she know it was about cancer, but they don't tell her that just yet, just that its an unfounded rumor.
But ha, that was kinda hilarious that Lena briefly thought Monty sent that tweet to stir shit up and break her and her wife up. Which, that would be ridiculous if that's what happened. So hopefully its not, and it can just be an insane paranoid (and lemme say, slightly narcissistic) theory Lena had because she was freaking out about Stef's cancer. Which, she did tell Monty about because she needs to vent, and to ask for time off. Only Stef saw them talking behind closed doors when she went there to talk about power of attorney and got all suspicious and jealous.
She's worried when she gets the mastectomy Lena won't find her attractive anymore, and Lena tells her that is one of the most ridiculous statements in the world and that she loves her. So in the end, after they tell the kids about the surgery, they go skinny dipping and have hot wet sex. Which, heh, I guess they're making up for all the people complaining about them never seeming to get any action together.
In Callie's side of things, AJ won't see her and Mike. So, she focuses her attention on something else. Namely that Justina's moderators traced the ip of fake AJ to Jude's computer. Callie obviously knows its not her brother who was catfishing her, so she confronts Jack. She and Jude find out he's been getting beat up by his foster brothers, so they try to get Justina to help him.
Only, he uses this to blackmail his current foster family into getting treated decently. Which, they try to warn him that's no way to get what you want, and what about the other kids, who have no blackmail material and will continue to get hurt? But Jack has been living in a shitty situation his whole life, and this was the first time he had the power to change that, so he did. Callie takes an interesting lesson from this. While she doesn't condone what Jack is doing, she gets it now. A lot of these foster kids are in crappy situations, and part of the reason they don't try to get out of them is because they don't think they deserve saving. They need someone to show them they have permission to say, this is a shitty situation, and I don't deserve it.
So, with that in mind, she visits Ty in jail, and tells him AJ is constantly screwing himself over out of misplaced loyalty to his brother. She wants him to give his brother permission to be with a loving family who cares about him and wants to treat him right.
And heh, Brandon tries to move forward with waitress chick, only to find out she has a two year old kid. It was kinda hilarious how he was all gung ho and then saw the car seat and was all, "Oh...." Ha, you tool!
