The Fosters (2013–2018): Season 1, Episode 10 - I Do - full transcript
The Fosters are getting married, but Stef is not as involved as Lena likes.
Previously on The Fosters...
- That was Liam.
- Foster brother you told me about?
He forced me to have sex with him.
It wasn't my choice, it wasn't my fault.
- [Groans]
- 11-99, officer down! 663 Coronado Street!
I get that it's forbidden
for foster kids to hook up
with the other kids they live with,
but it's not like they're keeping you.
If you're into Brandon, then go for it.
[Lena] We chose you, and you chose us.
DNA doesn't make a family, love does.
[Ernie] But you don't think your
daughter has a right to marry Lena?
I believe that marriage is
between a man and a woman.
- Will you marry me?
- I thought you'd never ask.
More?
[Sighs] Come on, it's not like
I'm running a sweatshop here.
I just don't understand why you want
to use all this dirty old silverware.
I like the history, I
like the story behind it.
Like, I wonder if someone died from
the black plague after using this knife?
- We washed it!
- Don't knock the old stuff, kid.
You'll be old yourself before you know it.
You tell him, grandma.
Ok, here we go.
Stef, give me that!
- What?
- You're not supposed to be lifting anything heavy...
It's not heavy. It's been
weeks. Honey, I'm fine.
When I said we need to haul these
old photos out, I meant me, not you.
You're going to have to
let me do something...
[Sighs] I'm going nuts in this house.
[Chuckling] When are
you going back to work?
I... we're not sure.
Just as soon as I'm cleared, I guess.
The only thing you have to
do is walk down the aisle.
We're not even doing that, so come on!
- You know what I mean.
- You're not?
Your dads aren't giving you away?
No, no. Lena's dad got
ordained on the Internet
so he going to perform
the ceremony, so he's out,
and dad hasn't responded to the invitation.
[Laughs] I mean, come on.
Two women walking down the aisle? Really?
Who's waiting at the other end?
Why are we being given away?
To whom are we being given to?
[Chuckling] It's kind of
silly, don't you think?
I don't know if it's silly, exactly, but...
- Yeah, it's not us, that's true.
- Yeah.
[Stef] Oh, Brandon...
- No, no, no. No...
- Mom, I can do it.
Let me do it. Let me do it.
I came early to help, let me help.
[Sighs] Oh, help me.
See? I'm not the only one who gets
tense when her mother's around.
It's not just her.
I mean, she's going to
drive me to an early grave.
Just not looking forward
to the conversation
we have to have with Callie this morning.
- Morning, slug-a-bug
- Hi.
Hey Callie, can we talk to you for a sec?
Sure. What's up?
It's about Liam.
Yeah.
* It's not where you come from *
* it's where you belong *
* nothing I would trade *
* I wouldn't have it any other way *
* you're surrounded by
love and you're wanted *
* so never feel alone *
* you're at home with me *
* right where you belong *
[School bell rings]
Hey. So, I guess Brandon
and Talya are back on?
- How'd that happen?
- I don't know. It just did.
- That's too bad.
- It's for the best.
If you say so.
I actually came over to say goodbye.
What do you mean?
Well, since we lost the house,
my mom's been freaking out.
So, she decided that we should go back and
live with my grandparents
for a while. In Indiana.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
Yeah, this is not one of my weird
attempts at a joke that you never got.
Wow...
So, my mom left with
the u-haul last weekend,
I'm driving out on Sunday with the car.
This sucks.
It kind of does.
I'm really...
really going to miss you.
Me, too.
[Talya] I don't know what to get your moms.
And you want me to go shopping?
Yes. Tomorrow night.
[Chuckling] Ok.
[Laughing] Thank you.
Hey, I'm going to go
talk to Callie real quick.
Ok. You should ask her if
she wants to come with us.
Ok, I'll do that.
You ok?
- [Sighs] What's going on?
- Nothing.
I have to decide today if I want
to go through with the pretrial.
Ok.
Your mom said it's going to
come down to my word against his.
Those kind of things don't
usually go my way, you know.
I mean, Sarah's safe, right?
She's out of the house... you
know, wasn't that the real goal?
What you did for Sarah is great.
But what about what he did to you?
Don't you think you deserve some justice?
I got to get to class.
Sorry, I didn't mean to
make you self-conscious.
Well, I'm fine.
I'm not the one who's bothered by it.
I'm not bothered by it. It's just...
it's a constant reminder, you know?
I do.
It's not just what happened it's...
You'll probably be going back
to work soon and it makes me...
I know.
I can't stay home forever, love.
I can't believe you kept this wallpaper.
- You picked it out.
- In 1982.
And I was wearing Holly Hobbie dresses,
and scrunch socks with high tops.
Did you hear about Kim and Darryl?
She's having an affair with her stepson.
Ain't that the craziest
thing you ever heard?
Well, this is dead.
Speaking of crazy,
did you know that Lena's father is
performing the ceremony on Saturday?
Got ordained online or something...
Church of the three stooges.
Can you imagine if they
had that in our day?
- We wouldn't have had to go to Vegas.
- [Chuckles]
It doesn't matter who does it,
it's going to be a lovely afternoon.
The kids are so excited.
They're happy you're coming.
You are coming, aren't you?
I'm just assuming since it's
your only daughter's wedding,
that you will be there, right?
You know, I can't believe I'm
using these words, but Sharon,
- you got something to say, then say it.
- Fine.
You need to let go of
whatever's preventing you from
RSVPing to your daughter's wedding.
God, politics, I don't care.
Unless you want to risk losing her forever,
like we almost did last
month might I remind you,
then you need to get over
yourself and put on a nice shirt
and haul your saggy ass to
that wedding on Saturday.
[Rock]
So, I was thinking...
do you want to, you know...
again?
Wait. What?
I was just wondering if, you know,
you wanted to have sex again.
Whoa, whoa... Lexi.
I thought we agreed we weren't
going to do this again right now.
We're not even supposed to
be alone in my room like this.
I know, I just want to
feel close to you again.
I'm confused. I feel like this is a test,
or a trick question or something...
You know what, forget it.
Forget I said anything.
I'm going to go. I have
homework I need to do.
Wait, Lexi, come on.
Come on yourself, Jesus.
So, here's the truth.
There's no way this case is
ever getting in front of a jury.
The judge is going to throw it out,
as sure as I'm sitting here.
There's no direct evidence.
It's been, what, almost
two years since it happened?
And it's just you.
And with your record,
everything in your file...
I mean, I told you when
we first arrested him,
that this was a long shot.
It's not fair. I'm sorry.
On the other hand, if the sex
with Liam had been consensual...
that would be a different story.
But it wasn't. It was not.
If it was consensual, well,
based on your age difference,
that would be statutory rape.
And Liam might just go
to jail for up to a year.
So, you're saying that
nobody will believe that
he forced me to have sex,
but they might believe that
I did it 'cause I wanted to?
And that Liam would go to jail for that?
Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.
- Hey Mike, thanks.
- Hey.
No, no. You supervise, ok?
Ok. Between you, Lena and my
mother, I'm going to go nuts.
[Chuckles] What's new?
So, you going to go back to work?
- Nope.
- What?
They're hanging me out to dry, Stef.
Ana's saying her boyfriend dropped the gun,
he had his hands up.
You know, in surrender.
- That's not true.
- What?
He didn't put his hands up, Mike. I saw it.
You told I.A. that...
That I was unconscious
or in shock or something.
I didn't want to contradict you in case
- you said something in your statement...
- Whoa, hold on, wait.
So, you thought I might be lying?
He dropped the gun,
Mike. Before you shot him.
You sure?
Mike, listen, you heard gunshots,
you were amped on adrenaline
and I was lying on the ground.
Of course you thought
that he still had the gun.
- But he didn't.
- No, he dropped it.
But he did not have his hands up.
You did exactly the right thing.
I'm going to talk to Roberts
and change my statement today.
- Absolutely not.
- Yes.
- No, Stef.
- No, Mike...
They're going to think
you're lying to cover my ass.
Or worse, they're going to
figure out you lied before.
You know what that means?
They'll fire you as soon as look at you.
No, you've got the family to think about.
Look, I might lose my job.
But you do that, you'll
definitely lose yours.
Absolutely not.
Come on, you're not supposed to do that.
I'm not letting you do everything, Mike.
Mind if I?
So? How'd it go?
Not great.
Well, what happened?
Like they were ever going to believe me.
What, the A.D.A. said
they didn't believe you?
No, he said a jury wouldn't.
Well, I'm sure it's going
to work out. Somehow.
- Sometimes, you know...
- No.
No, you do not get to
say those things to me.
I'm not you. I don't
live in this magical world
where everything always works out, ok?
So, stop. Stop with the pep-talks
and telling me everything's gonna be ok,
'cause you know what
they want me to do next?
They want me to lie.
They said that the only way
to get a jury to believe that
I'm telling the truth is if I lie.
And how is that ok?
Look who I found! Reverend and Mrs. Adams.
Mom! Daddy!
Oh, the ministry looks good on you.
- Thanks. Cost me 29.99.
- [All laughing]
- Oh, yes. Hello, beautiful.
- Hey, mommy.
- Oh, you look tired.
- It's good to see you, too.
Who needs a glass of wine?
- Me, please.
- Me, too.
Your mother was, unsurprisingly,
doing a little backseat driving
on the way from the airport.
I was not. I was doing
passenger seat driving.
[Sharon] I'm back!
[Stef] Hey, look who's here!
- Hello!
- Good to see you.
What took you so long?
I thought you were just picking up
a few things at the grocery store?
Well, I decided I'd stop by the mall
to see if I could find myself something a
little special for the wedding on Saturday,
and I think I may have
found something for you, too.
- For what?
- The ceremony.
I already know what I'm
wearing for the ceremony, mom.
Don't just dismiss it before
you've even seen it, Stefanie.
I also stopped by your father's.
That got sorted out. He
will be at the wedding.
That's great. Thanks, mom.
Oh, boy. Wine, yum.
Oh, speaking of the wedding...
I'm running this show, right?
- Mmhm.
- And I assume we're not doing the traditional,
"in sickness and in health" mumbo jumbo.
- No.
- So...
Have you ladies written your vows?
- Yes.
- We're not doing vows... are we?
Well, without vows, it's really just
a bunch of people standing around
looking at you two for
no good reason, isn't it?
No, I just... you have a
very good point, Reverend.
Well, I think you two have
too much on your plates,
and you simply must let
Sharon and me pitch in.
[Sharon] Yes, that would
give us something to do.
And you guys could just sit back and relax.
[Laughs] Yeah, that's unlikely to happen.
But if you and Sharon would like to
take care of the flowers and the
decorations, that would be great.
- Great.
- Great.
[Creaking]
Can't sleep?
No.
I can't stop thinking about tomorrow.
I have no idea what you're
going through, you know.
But I do know a lot about lying.
One lie turns into all these other lies.
And before you know it,
things are just...
you know?
Look, whatever you decide,
you know we've got you, right?
I do.
But I really want you
to put that bastard away.
So, at the time of the
incident, how old were you?
Just turned 15.
- You had just turned 15?
- Yes.
And how old was Mr. Olmstead
at the time of the incident?
Nineteen.
And how would you describe
what happened that night?
Would you say it was consensual?
I know what you want me to say.
You want me to say, "yes, it was
consensual. Yes, I agreed to it."
Because then you can get
Liam on a technicality,
and he'll get a little bit of
punishment for the wrong crime.
And you'll feel good about that because,
really, that's more than I should expect.
I want him to go to jail, believe me. I do.
But, in order to make that happen,
I would have to give away
the only thing I have left.
The truth.
You know what you did to me.
I know what you did to me.
So, I'm not going to lie about it.
No, it was not consensual.
No.
He raped me.
I still feel like we should've cancelled.
Having this giant party when Callie
just went through all of that.
Hey, listen. I checked in with her.
She's grateful for the
distraction, all right?
She's such a good kid.
She deserves a lot better
than what she got today.
I was so proud of her,
and so sure the judge was
going to see it her way...
- It's not how it works.
- Yeah, well, that sucks.
Yeah, it does. But she did the right thing.
Hopefully, someday, somehow,
something good will come out of it.
It was everything I could do
to not just stand up and shout,
"this girl is not her file."
I can't imagine how
awful that must feel to be
reduced to a few sentences about
every mistake you ever made.
That girl just needs a break.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Please. Girl, is it my brother?
No.
Well, not exactly.
My abuelita in Honduras is sick.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's not that.
I mean, I never even met her.
But my parents are talking about
going back to see her.
How can you do that
since you're, you know...
My dad says he has a way
to get us there and back.
Wow.
Don't tell Jesus, ok?
Why not?
I just... I don't want to worry him.
I mean, it's probably
not even going to happen.
Promise?
Ok.
I mean, that's awfully pretty,
but it's just, I don't know...
it's a wedding, it's a
party, it's a celebration.
It just seems to me like, you know,
something like that
would be a lot more fun.
Well, I do like that,
but I can't help feeling that what
would make the day really special
is something a little more sophisticated.
- Sophisticated.
- I didn't mean...
No, of course you didn't.
I didn't realize that "sophisticated"
actually meant "stick up your ass".
Hey, how's it going?
- Just great...
- Perfect, terrific.
I think I'll take a little break. [Sighs]
I think you should have your wife-to-be
talk a little sense into her mother.
- Dana, perhaps it would be best...
- Stewart.
Sharon, who's a lovely woman,
has, and I mean this in
the best possible way,
somewhat questionable taste.
And so we therefore now find ourselves
at an impasse regarding the flowers.
- Mom, it's flowers. How bad can it be?
- Daisies.
She wants daisies. Multi-colored daisies.
So no, honey, it's not that bad,
if you don't mind having a clown wedding.
Ok, mom, let's just take a breath.
There's no need to be so judgmental.
I'm not being judgmental.
I am trying to give you a beautiful day.
- And I appreciate that.
- I don't think that you do.
- Dana, she didn't...
- Well, her gratitude is overwhelming.
Calla lilies? Calla lilies?
What does she think,
we're having a funeral?
"They're sophisticated," she said.
I don't know what to tell you, mom.
Tell me you'll wear this dress.
Oh, we have been through this, mom.
- You're wearing pants.
- Yes.
- Really, stefanie, pants?
- Yes.
- At your wedding? Really?
- Mom, it has been decided.
- Let it go!
- Fine.
- Thank you.
- You're so stubborn.
- [Stef groans]
- You are just like your father.
Ok, why am I stubborn because I want to
wear what I want to wear on my wedding day?
And you wanted to take care of
the flowers, so take care of them.
I don't care if we have white calla
lilies or day-glo gerber daisies.
I just want this day to be here so we
don't have to talk about it anymore.
Mom... mother. Oh, the hand.
I got the hand. Ok.
[Sighs]
It's not just me, right? They're crazy.
- They're crazy-making.
- No, it's not just you.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you for not being crazy.
All of this fuss over some stupid wedding!
Is there a reason you insist on
referring to it as a "stupid wedding?"
- No, it's just...
- Because ever since you proposed to me,
you've been making cracks
about how "dumb" it is,
and how "silly" these traditions are,
and you've been downright hostile
towards anything as "ridiculous" as
walking down the aisle, or wearing
a dress, or even writing vows!
Don't do me any favors. If you don't
want to get married, let's just not.
Let's just not get married.
[Door slams]
[Exhaling]
Thank God. I thought it was your mother.
No, it's just me.
Come on in. Have a seat.
You want a sandwich?
No, no. I'm good.
Mm. So, why the drop by?
I already told your mother
I was coming tomorrow.
Yeah, I know about that.
I think mom forced your hand
on that and that's not what I...
Well, don't blame your
mother. She can't help herself.
I've been really embarrassed
about this wedding.
I haven't been able to enjoy
one single solitary second of it.
This voice in my head keeps telling
me it's not right what we're doing.
Two women standing up in
front of friends and family
promising to love each
other forever. That's wrong.
How screwed up is that?
I'm embarrassed by my own
wedding? How is that even possible?
I love Lena and my... family,
more than I have loved
anything ever in my life.
How can I possibly be even
the slightest bit uncomfortable
putting that out in the world to see?
And I realized that voice, that
voice it's not mine. It's yours, dad.
It's yours, and I'm done.
I'm done listening to it.
And I don't want that voice at my
wedding, dad. I don't want it there.
And I don't...
I don't want you there.
There shouldn't be anyone there who
is not 100 percent happy to be there.
So, if you can't get behind this wedding
and I mean really, really behind it, dad...
then I don't think you
should come and that's...
We missed you at dinner.
Yeah, I had some stuff I needed
to take care of for the wedding.
I'm sorry I snapped at you, mom.
And I know I didn't turn out to
be the daughter you dreamed of,
but I can't wear a dress
just because you want me to.
I can't believe you'd even say that.
I got caught up in the hullabaloo.
I don't care if you wear a bikini,
or overalls, or a flak jacket, really.
But you're right about one thing,
you're not the daughter I dreamed of.
You're better.
Of course I want to marry you.
I'd be crazy not to.
[Both laughing]
Are we sure about this?
Then I want to tell them. Today.
I don't want them to come
to the wedding not knowing.
[Lena] So, we've already spoken with
Brandon and the twins about this,
but there's something
we'd like to ask you guys.
We would like to know
how you would feel about
making this a more permanent arrangement?
You mean, like adopt us?
We think you deserve a home,
and we'd like it to be ours.
Are you guys ok with this?
There's enough to go around.
- So, is that a yes?
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Yes!
- [Laughing]
- [Stef] Yes, they said yes!
[Folk]
Hey, can I talk to you a sec?
Sure, what's up?
You better open that or people
will think we're having sex.
Which, you know, we're not. So...
So, why didn't you tell me?
About Honduras, dummy.
I'm going to kill your sister.
I didn't want to worry
you if it didn't happen,
but it looks like we're going.
My grandma's getting worse.
I can't promise that I won't be worried.
But I'll be waiting here till you get back.
You're not going to forget about me?
I can never forget about you.
I wanted to thank you.
For what?
You were kind of yelling at
me last time we were alone.
Yeah, I know...
I wanted to thank you for believing in me
when I didn't believe in myself.
Any time.
You know, I might not have
gotten the outcome I wanted.
With the trial, I might not have
gotten the justice I deserve,
but I know what I deserve now. So...
Do you?
Because you do. You deserve to be happy.
You are amazing, and kind,
and smart, and beautiful...
and you deserve to be happy.
You deserve to have everything you want.
Don't you?
Hi, Mrs. Elkin.
Hi there, Talya! How are you?
I'm good. Have you seen your grandson?
Brandon, let me see. He was...
he was right there a minute ago.
- [Both laugh]
- Ok, thanks.
[Clattering]
[Laughing] Hey!
What are you doing back here? Come on.
Jude, stop!
Why do you have to ruin everything?
I like it here, they were going to keep us.
I'll never do it again.
Ok, Jude? I promise.
Yes, you will,
or you'll find some other
way to ruin everything,
because that's what you do.
You can't ever just let things be,
'cause you don't know how to do that.
- Jude.
- But you don't just ruin things for you,
you ruin them for me, too.
'Cause we're a package deal.
You know they're not going to separate us.
You act like you care about
me so much, but you don't,
you only care about
yourself. You're selfish.
We always knew she'd
recover like a trouper.
All I know is, I'm so glad she's
coming back to work next week.
I was waiting until after
the wedding to tell you.
- Will you excuse us for a minute?
- Certainly.
Lena... Lena.
What are you doing? Lena, what are you...
I'm making my peace with it.
If I'm going to marry you,
I'm going to marry all of you.
The scar, the bullet, and the cop.
[Stewart] Welcome friends.
Now that the Supreme Court
has finally seen fit...
[Cheering]
It has finally seen fit to
recognize that all people
are entitled to equal
protection under the law
and have the right to the
same challenges and triumphs,
benefits and burdens, as everybody else.
I'm very proud to welcome
you here to the marriage
of my daughter, Lena Elizabeth Adams,
to stefanie Marie Foster.
And we're honored that
you are here to witness
this magical event.
The moment when two souls
declare that they have become one.
Let us not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments. Love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the...
And as a very wise woman by the
name of Erma Bombeck once said...
[Both chuckling]
"Marriage has no guarantees.
If that's what you're looking
for, go live with a car battery."
[All laughing]
I'm sorry.
Stefanie Marie Foster.
You are a piece of work.
But you're my piece of work.
I accept you.
Every single thing that
makes you who you are,
from now until the end
of time... I love you.
You're the person I've been
waiting for my whole life...
And I am so proud
to be standing up here
in front of our friends and family
to make sure they know just how
lucky I feel to have found you...
and just how much I love you.
May we have the rings, please?
Thank you.
[All laughing]
[Lena] Thank you.
[Laughs]
[Both giggle]
It's the wrong one.
Never get that on my finger.
Thank you.
Well I think it's high time that
somebody kissed somebody, don't you think?
[Laughing]
[Cheering, applause]
[Dance]
- It's ok, mi amor.
- I know.
But she's going to be devastated when
she finds out we aren't coming back.
I'm sorry he didn't come.
Me, too. For him. I'm sorry for him.
Mike doesn't seem like
himself. It's not us, is it?
No, it's not us.
So, you're right.
I've been selfish. I'm sorry.
I'm not going to be selfish
anymore, ok? I promise.
Excuse me, everybody.
I want to dedicate this song to my moms.
[Macklemore: Same love ]
I hope you know how much I love you.
So much that I took my nose ring out.
[Everyone laughs]
* And I can't change *
* even if I tried *
* even if I wanted to *
* and I can't change *
* even if I tried *
* even if I wanted to *
* my love, my love, my love *
* she keeps me warm *
* she keeps me warm *
* she keeps me warm *
* she keeps me warm *
[man] If I was gay, I
would think hip-hop hates me
have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
we become so numb to what we're saying
no law is going to change
us we have to change us
whatever God you believe
in we come from the same one
strip away the fear
underneath it's all the same love

I need a ride.
- Where?
- I don't know.
I was thinking Indiana?
- Do Stef and Lena know you're here?
- No.
I don't know, Callie. Maybe
you should just go home.
Ok, fine.
Yeah, I'll just take a bus or something.
Good luck, Wyatt. Drive safe.

- That was Liam.
- Foster brother you told me about?
He forced me to have sex with him.
It wasn't my choice, it wasn't my fault.
- [Groans]
- 11-99, officer down! 663 Coronado Street!
I get that it's forbidden
for foster kids to hook up
with the other kids they live with,
but it's not like they're keeping you.
If you're into Brandon, then go for it.
[Lena] We chose you, and you chose us.
DNA doesn't make a family, love does.
[Ernie] But you don't think your
daughter has a right to marry Lena?
I believe that marriage is
between a man and a woman.
- Will you marry me?
- I thought you'd never ask.
More?
[Sighs] Come on, it's not like
I'm running a sweatshop here.
I just don't understand why you want
to use all this dirty old silverware.
I like the history, I
like the story behind it.
Like, I wonder if someone died from
the black plague after using this knife?
- We washed it!
- Don't knock the old stuff, kid.
You'll be old yourself before you know it.
You tell him, grandma.
Ok, here we go.
Stef, give me that!
- What?
- You're not supposed to be lifting anything heavy...
It's not heavy. It's been
weeks. Honey, I'm fine.
When I said we need to haul these
old photos out, I meant me, not you.
You're going to have to
let me do something...
[Sighs] I'm going nuts in this house.
[Chuckling] When are
you going back to work?
I... we're not sure.
Just as soon as I'm cleared, I guess.
The only thing you have to
do is walk down the aisle.
We're not even doing that, so come on!
- You know what I mean.
- You're not?
Your dads aren't giving you away?
No, no. Lena's dad got
ordained on the Internet
so he going to perform
the ceremony, so he's out,
and dad hasn't responded to the invitation.
[Laughs] I mean, come on.
Two women walking down the aisle? Really?
Who's waiting at the other end?
Why are we being given away?
To whom are we being given to?
[Chuckling] It's kind of
silly, don't you think?
I don't know if it's silly, exactly, but...
- Yeah, it's not us, that's true.
- Yeah.
[Stef] Oh, Brandon...
- No, no, no. No...
- Mom, I can do it.
Let me do it. Let me do it.
I came early to help, let me help.
[Sighs] Oh, help me.
See? I'm not the only one who gets
tense when her mother's around.
It's not just her.
I mean, she's going to
drive me to an early grave.
Just not looking forward
to the conversation
we have to have with Callie this morning.
- Morning, slug-a-bug
- Hi.
Hey Callie, can we talk to you for a sec?
Sure. What's up?
It's about Liam.
Yeah.
* It's not where you come from *
* it's where you belong *
* nothing I would trade *
* I wouldn't have it any other way *
* you're surrounded by
love and you're wanted *
* so never feel alone *
* you're at home with me *
* right where you belong *
[School bell rings]
Hey. So, I guess Brandon
and Talya are back on?
- How'd that happen?
- I don't know. It just did.
- That's too bad.
- It's for the best.
If you say so.
I actually came over to say goodbye.
What do you mean?
Well, since we lost the house,
my mom's been freaking out.
So, she decided that we should go back and
live with my grandparents
for a while. In Indiana.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
Yeah, this is not one of my weird
attempts at a joke that you never got.
Wow...
So, my mom left with
the u-haul last weekend,
I'm driving out on Sunday with the car.
This sucks.
It kind of does.
I'm really...
really going to miss you.
Me, too.
[Talya] I don't know what to get your moms.
And you want me to go shopping?
Yes. Tomorrow night.
[Chuckling] Ok.
[Laughing] Thank you.
Hey, I'm going to go
talk to Callie real quick.
Ok. You should ask her if
she wants to come with us.
Ok, I'll do that.
You ok?
- [Sighs] What's going on?
- Nothing.
I have to decide today if I want
to go through with the pretrial.
Ok.
Your mom said it's going to
come down to my word against his.
Those kind of things don't
usually go my way, you know.
I mean, Sarah's safe, right?
She's out of the house... you
know, wasn't that the real goal?
What you did for Sarah is great.
But what about what he did to you?
Don't you think you deserve some justice?
I got to get to class.
Sorry, I didn't mean to
make you self-conscious.
Well, I'm fine.
I'm not the one who's bothered by it.
I'm not bothered by it. It's just...
it's a constant reminder, you know?
I do.
It's not just what happened it's...
You'll probably be going back
to work soon and it makes me...
I know.
I can't stay home forever, love.
I can't believe you kept this wallpaper.
- You picked it out.
- In 1982.
And I was wearing Holly Hobbie dresses,
and scrunch socks with high tops.
Did you hear about Kim and Darryl?
She's having an affair with her stepson.
Ain't that the craziest
thing you ever heard?
Well, this is dead.
Speaking of crazy,
did you know that Lena's father is
performing the ceremony on Saturday?
Got ordained online or something...
Church of the three stooges.
Can you imagine if they
had that in our day?
- We wouldn't have had to go to Vegas.
- [Chuckles]
It doesn't matter who does it,
it's going to be a lovely afternoon.
The kids are so excited.
They're happy you're coming.
You are coming, aren't you?
I'm just assuming since it's
your only daughter's wedding,
that you will be there, right?
You know, I can't believe I'm
using these words, but Sharon,
- you got something to say, then say it.
- Fine.
You need to let go of
whatever's preventing you from
RSVPing to your daughter's wedding.
God, politics, I don't care.
Unless you want to risk losing her forever,
like we almost did last
month might I remind you,
then you need to get over
yourself and put on a nice shirt
and haul your saggy ass to
that wedding on Saturday.
[Rock]
So, I was thinking...
do you want to, you know...
again?
Wait. What?
I was just wondering if, you know,
you wanted to have sex again.
Whoa, whoa... Lexi.
I thought we agreed we weren't
going to do this again right now.
We're not even supposed to
be alone in my room like this.
I know, I just want to
feel close to you again.
I'm confused. I feel like this is a test,
or a trick question or something...
You know what, forget it.
Forget I said anything.
I'm going to go. I have
homework I need to do.
Wait, Lexi, come on.
Come on yourself, Jesus.
So, here's the truth.
There's no way this case is
ever getting in front of a jury.
The judge is going to throw it out,
as sure as I'm sitting here.
There's no direct evidence.
It's been, what, almost
two years since it happened?
And it's just you.
And with your record,
everything in your file...
I mean, I told you when
we first arrested him,
that this was a long shot.
It's not fair. I'm sorry.
On the other hand, if the sex
with Liam had been consensual...
that would be a different story.
But it wasn't. It was not.
If it was consensual, well,
based on your age difference,
that would be statutory rape.
And Liam might just go
to jail for up to a year.
So, you're saying that
nobody will believe that
he forced me to have sex,
but they might believe that
I did it 'cause I wanted to?
And that Liam would go to jail for that?
Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.
- Hey Mike, thanks.
- Hey.
No, no. You supervise, ok?
Ok. Between you, Lena and my
mother, I'm going to go nuts.
[Chuckles] What's new?
So, you going to go back to work?
- Nope.
- What?
They're hanging me out to dry, Stef.
Ana's saying her boyfriend dropped the gun,
he had his hands up.
You know, in surrender.
- That's not true.
- What?
He didn't put his hands up, Mike. I saw it.
You told I.A. that...
That I was unconscious
or in shock or something.
I didn't want to contradict you in case
- you said something in your statement...
- Whoa, hold on, wait.
So, you thought I might be lying?
He dropped the gun,
Mike. Before you shot him.
You sure?
Mike, listen, you heard gunshots,
you were amped on adrenaline
and I was lying on the ground.
Of course you thought
that he still had the gun.
- But he didn't.
- No, he dropped it.
But he did not have his hands up.
You did exactly the right thing.
I'm going to talk to Roberts
and change my statement today.
- Absolutely not.
- Yes.
- No, Stef.
- No, Mike...
They're going to think
you're lying to cover my ass.
Or worse, they're going to
figure out you lied before.
You know what that means?
They'll fire you as soon as look at you.
No, you've got the family to think about.
Look, I might lose my job.
But you do that, you'll
definitely lose yours.
Absolutely not.
Come on, you're not supposed to do that.
I'm not letting you do everything, Mike.
Mind if I?
So? How'd it go?
Not great.
Well, what happened?
Like they were ever going to believe me.
What, the A.D.A. said
they didn't believe you?
No, he said a jury wouldn't.
Well, I'm sure it's going
to work out. Somehow.
- Sometimes, you know...
- No.
No, you do not get to
say those things to me.
I'm not you. I don't
live in this magical world
where everything always works out, ok?
So, stop. Stop with the pep-talks
and telling me everything's gonna be ok,
'cause you know what
they want me to do next?
They want me to lie.
They said that the only way
to get a jury to believe that
I'm telling the truth is if I lie.
And how is that ok?
Look who I found! Reverend and Mrs. Adams.
Mom! Daddy!
Oh, the ministry looks good on you.
- Thanks. Cost me 29.99.
- [All laughing]
- Oh, yes. Hello, beautiful.
- Hey, mommy.
- Oh, you look tired.
- It's good to see you, too.
Who needs a glass of wine?
- Me, please.
- Me, too.
Your mother was, unsurprisingly,
doing a little backseat driving
on the way from the airport.
I was not. I was doing
passenger seat driving.
[Sharon] I'm back!
[Stef] Hey, look who's here!
- Hello!
- Good to see you.
What took you so long?
I thought you were just picking up
a few things at the grocery store?
Well, I decided I'd stop by the mall
to see if I could find myself something a
little special for the wedding on Saturday,
and I think I may have
found something for you, too.
- For what?
- The ceremony.
I already know what I'm
wearing for the ceremony, mom.
Don't just dismiss it before
you've even seen it, Stefanie.
I also stopped by your father's.
That got sorted out. He
will be at the wedding.
That's great. Thanks, mom.
Oh, boy. Wine, yum.
Oh, speaking of the wedding...
I'm running this show, right?
- Mmhm.
- And I assume we're not doing the traditional,
"in sickness and in health" mumbo jumbo.
- No.
- So...
Have you ladies written your vows?
- Yes.
- We're not doing vows... are we?
Well, without vows, it's really just
a bunch of people standing around
looking at you two for
no good reason, isn't it?
No, I just... you have a
very good point, Reverend.
Well, I think you two have
too much on your plates,
and you simply must let
Sharon and me pitch in.
[Sharon] Yes, that would
give us something to do.
And you guys could just sit back and relax.
[Laughs] Yeah, that's unlikely to happen.
But if you and Sharon would like to
take care of the flowers and the
decorations, that would be great.
- Great.
- Great.
[Creaking]
Can't sleep?
No.
I can't stop thinking about tomorrow.
I have no idea what you're
going through, you know.
But I do know a lot about lying.
One lie turns into all these other lies.
And before you know it,
things are just...
you know?
Look, whatever you decide,
you know we've got you, right?
I do.
But I really want you
to put that bastard away.
So, at the time of the
incident, how old were you?
Just turned 15.
- You had just turned 15?
- Yes.
And how old was Mr. Olmstead
at the time of the incident?
Nineteen.
And how would you describe
what happened that night?
Would you say it was consensual?
I know what you want me to say.
You want me to say, "yes, it was
consensual. Yes, I agreed to it."
Because then you can get
Liam on a technicality,
and he'll get a little bit of
punishment for the wrong crime.
And you'll feel good about that because,
really, that's more than I should expect.
I want him to go to jail, believe me. I do.
But, in order to make that happen,
I would have to give away
the only thing I have left.
The truth.
You know what you did to me.
I know what you did to me.
So, I'm not going to lie about it.
No, it was not consensual.
No.
He raped me.
I still feel like we should've cancelled.
Having this giant party when Callie
just went through all of that.
Hey, listen. I checked in with her.
She's grateful for the
distraction, all right?
She's such a good kid.
She deserves a lot better
than what she got today.
I was so proud of her,
and so sure the judge was
going to see it her way...
- It's not how it works.
- Yeah, well, that sucks.
Yeah, it does. But she did the right thing.
Hopefully, someday, somehow,
something good will come out of it.
It was everything I could do
to not just stand up and shout,
"this girl is not her file."
I can't imagine how
awful that must feel to be
reduced to a few sentences about
every mistake you ever made.
That girl just needs a break.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Please. Girl, is it my brother?
No.
Well, not exactly.
My abuelita in Honduras is sick.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's not that.
I mean, I never even met her.
But my parents are talking about
going back to see her.
How can you do that
since you're, you know...
My dad says he has a way
to get us there and back.
Wow.
Don't tell Jesus, ok?
Why not?
I just... I don't want to worry him.
I mean, it's probably
not even going to happen.
Promise?
Ok.
I mean, that's awfully pretty,
but it's just, I don't know...
it's a wedding, it's a
party, it's a celebration.
It just seems to me like, you know,
something like that
would be a lot more fun.
Well, I do like that,
but I can't help feeling that what
would make the day really special
is something a little more sophisticated.
- Sophisticated.
- I didn't mean...
No, of course you didn't.
I didn't realize that "sophisticated"
actually meant "stick up your ass".
Hey, how's it going?
- Just great...
- Perfect, terrific.
I think I'll take a little break. [Sighs]
I think you should have your wife-to-be
talk a little sense into her mother.
- Dana, perhaps it would be best...
- Stewart.
Sharon, who's a lovely woman,
has, and I mean this in
the best possible way,
somewhat questionable taste.
And so we therefore now find ourselves
at an impasse regarding the flowers.
- Mom, it's flowers. How bad can it be?
- Daisies.
She wants daisies. Multi-colored daisies.
So no, honey, it's not that bad,
if you don't mind having a clown wedding.
Ok, mom, let's just take a breath.
There's no need to be so judgmental.
I'm not being judgmental.
I am trying to give you a beautiful day.
- And I appreciate that.
- I don't think that you do.
- Dana, she didn't...
- Well, her gratitude is overwhelming.
Calla lilies? Calla lilies?
What does she think,
we're having a funeral?
"They're sophisticated," she said.
I don't know what to tell you, mom.
Tell me you'll wear this dress.
Oh, we have been through this, mom.
- You're wearing pants.
- Yes.
- Really, stefanie, pants?
- Yes.
- At your wedding? Really?
- Mom, it has been decided.
- Let it go!
- Fine.
- Thank you.
- You're so stubborn.
- [Stef groans]
- You are just like your father.
Ok, why am I stubborn because I want to
wear what I want to wear on my wedding day?
And you wanted to take care of
the flowers, so take care of them.
I don't care if we have white calla
lilies or day-glo gerber daisies.
I just want this day to be here so we
don't have to talk about it anymore.
Mom... mother. Oh, the hand.
I got the hand. Ok.
[Sighs]
It's not just me, right? They're crazy.
- They're crazy-making.
- No, it's not just you.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you for not being crazy.
All of this fuss over some stupid wedding!
Is there a reason you insist on
referring to it as a "stupid wedding?"
- No, it's just...
- Because ever since you proposed to me,
you've been making cracks
about how "dumb" it is,
and how "silly" these traditions are,
and you've been downright hostile
towards anything as "ridiculous" as
walking down the aisle, or wearing
a dress, or even writing vows!
Don't do me any favors. If you don't
want to get married, let's just not.
Let's just not get married.
[Door slams]
[Exhaling]
Thank God. I thought it was your mother.
No, it's just me.
Come on in. Have a seat.
You want a sandwich?
No, no. I'm good.
Mm. So, why the drop by?
I already told your mother
I was coming tomorrow.
Yeah, I know about that.
I think mom forced your hand
on that and that's not what I...
Well, don't blame your
mother. She can't help herself.
I've been really embarrassed
about this wedding.
I haven't been able to enjoy
one single solitary second of it.
This voice in my head keeps telling
me it's not right what we're doing.
Two women standing up in
front of friends and family
promising to love each
other forever. That's wrong.
How screwed up is that?
I'm embarrassed by my own
wedding? How is that even possible?
I love Lena and my... family,
more than I have loved
anything ever in my life.
How can I possibly be even
the slightest bit uncomfortable
putting that out in the world to see?
And I realized that voice, that
voice it's not mine. It's yours, dad.
It's yours, and I'm done.
I'm done listening to it.
And I don't want that voice at my
wedding, dad. I don't want it there.
And I don't...
I don't want you there.
There shouldn't be anyone there who
is not 100 percent happy to be there.
So, if you can't get behind this wedding
and I mean really, really behind it, dad...
then I don't think you
should come and that's...
We missed you at dinner.
Yeah, I had some stuff I needed
to take care of for the wedding.
I'm sorry I snapped at you, mom.
And I know I didn't turn out to
be the daughter you dreamed of,
but I can't wear a dress
just because you want me to.
I can't believe you'd even say that.
I got caught up in the hullabaloo.
I don't care if you wear a bikini,
or overalls, or a flak jacket, really.
But you're right about one thing,
you're not the daughter I dreamed of.
You're better.
Of course I want to marry you.
I'd be crazy not to.
[Both laughing]
Are we sure about this?
Then I want to tell them. Today.
I don't want them to come
to the wedding not knowing.
[Lena] So, we've already spoken with
Brandon and the twins about this,
but there's something
we'd like to ask you guys.
We would like to know
how you would feel about
making this a more permanent arrangement?
You mean, like adopt us?
We think you deserve a home,
and we'd like it to be ours.
Are you guys ok with this?
There's enough to go around.
- So, is that a yes?
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Yes!
- [Laughing]
- [Stef] Yes, they said yes!
[Folk]
Hey, can I talk to you a sec?
Sure, what's up?
You better open that or people
will think we're having sex.
Which, you know, we're not. So...
So, why didn't you tell me?
About Honduras, dummy.
I'm going to kill your sister.
I didn't want to worry
you if it didn't happen,
but it looks like we're going.
My grandma's getting worse.
I can't promise that I won't be worried.
But I'll be waiting here till you get back.
You're not going to forget about me?
I can never forget about you.
I wanted to thank you.
For what?
You were kind of yelling at
me last time we were alone.
Yeah, I know...
I wanted to thank you for believing in me
when I didn't believe in myself.
Any time.
You know, I might not have
gotten the outcome I wanted.
With the trial, I might not have
gotten the justice I deserve,
but I know what I deserve now. So...
Do you?
Because you do. You deserve to be happy.
You are amazing, and kind,
and smart, and beautiful...
and you deserve to be happy.
You deserve to have everything you want.
Don't you?
Hi, Mrs. Elkin.
Hi there, Talya! How are you?
I'm good. Have you seen your grandson?
Brandon, let me see. He was...
he was right there a minute ago.
- [Both laugh]
- Ok, thanks.
[Clattering]
[Laughing] Hey!
What are you doing back here? Come on.
Jude, stop!
Why do you have to ruin everything?
I like it here, they were going to keep us.
I'll never do it again.
Ok, Jude? I promise.
Yes, you will,
or you'll find some other
way to ruin everything,
because that's what you do.
You can't ever just let things be,
'cause you don't know how to do that.
- Jude.
- But you don't just ruin things for you,
you ruin them for me, too.
'Cause we're a package deal.
You know they're not going to separate us.
You act like you care about
me so much, but you don't,
you only care about
yourself. You're selfish.
We always knew she'd
recover like a trouper.
All I know is, I'm so glad she's
coming back to work next week.
I was waiting until after
the wedding to tell you.
- Will you excuse us for a minute?
- Certainly.
Lena... Lena.
What are you doing? Lena, what are you...
I'm making my peace with it.
If I'm going to marry you,
I'm going to marry all of you.
The scar, the bullet, and the cop.
[Stewart] Welcome friends.
Now that the Supreme Court
has finally seen fit...
[Cheering]
It has finally seen fit to
recognize that all people
are entitled to equal
protection under the law
and have the right to the
same challenges and triumphs,
benefits and burdens, as everybody else.
I'm very proud to welcome
you here to the marriage
of my daughter, Lena Elizabeth Adams,
to stefanie Marie Foster.
And we're honored that
you are here to witness
this magical event.
The moment when two souls
declare that they have become one.
Let us not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments. Love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the...
And as a very wise woman by the
name of Erma Bombeck once said...
[Both chuckling]
"Marriage has no guarantees.
If that's what you're looking
for, go live with a car battery."
[All laughing]
I'm sorry.
Stefanie Marie Foster.
You are a piece of work.
But you're my piece of work.
I accept you.
Every single thing that
makes you who you are,
from now until the end
of time... I love you.
You're the person I've been
waiting for my whole life...
And I am so proud
to be standing up here
in front of our friends and family
to make sure they know just how
lucky I feel to have found you...
and just how much I love you.
May we have the rings, please?
Thank you.
[All laughing]
[Lena] Thank you.
[Laughs]
[Both giggle]

But she's going to be devastated when
she finds out we aren't coming back.

Mike doesn't seem like
himself. It's not us, is it?

I've been selfish. I'm sorry.
I'm not going to be selfish
anymore, ok? I promise.
Excuse me, everybody.
I want to dedicate this song to my moms.
[Macklemore: Same love ]
I hope you know how much I love you.
So much that I took my nose ring out.

have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
we become so numb to what we're saying
no law is going to change
us we have to change us
whatever God you believe
in we come from the same one
strip away the fear
underneath it's all the same love
about time that we raised up

Take hitchhikers?
What are you doing here?
I need a ride.
- Where?
- I don't know.
I was thinking Indiana?
- Do Stef and Lena know you're here?
- No.
I don't know, Callie. Maybe
you should just go home.
Ok, fine.
Yeah, I'll just take a bus or something.
Good luck, Wyatt. Drive safe.
