The Fosters (2013–2018): Season 1, Episode 20 - Metropolis - full transcript
Ana gives Stef an ultimatum. Wyatt comes back to town. Callie is the butt of a school prank.
Previously on The Fosters:
- [Wyatt] We should get on the road.
- [Callie] What's the hurry?
I'm going to go gas up the car.
You meet me down there as soon as you can.
Zachary!
- Who is that?
- Get in the car!
- My mom. I'm sorry.
- Right now! Now!
- Well, now you know.
- Know what?
- How weird my mom is.
- Ok, yeah, she's a little kooky.
But so what.
I know that you were at school
the night of my photo
shoot, making fake IDs.
I guess one of the fakes got
confiscated last night at a bar.
Don't worry, I'll get you your money back.
What if I moved in?
Maybe when he moves back to his
mom's, we can revisit the idea.
So what did you do with the money?
I mean, since you didn't give it to Callie.
They really want me to testify,
and I... I'm scared they're
going to cut off my food stamps.
Maybe I can help you.
You're telling people our IDs don't work?
I changed my mind.
Well, now I'm going to return the favor.
[playing classical melody]
That was amazing.
Yeah. Except, I can't keep the triplets
in time with the eighth notes,
and I keep missing the sharps.
Well, yeah, there's that,
but, um, otherwise...
[chuckles]
I have an audition for the
San Diego Junior Symphony.
How did that happen?
My dad's girlfriend knows somebody.
Wow. Symphony?
Junior.
But still, that's a big deal.
Yeah. If I can get the
ascending arpeggio right.
It's nice to see you... so passionate
about your music again.
Remember, you brought me up here
my first day at Anchor Beach?
Yeah.
I never thought I'd still be here. [laughs]
I... I asked you how you felt
when your moms adopted Jesus and Mariana.
Yeah, I, um...
I said this was me and my moms...
[plays simple melody]
... and then the twins came...
[adds accompaniment]
- ... and then Jude...
- [plays richer melody]
- [piano pauses]
- ... and then... you.
[bangs out dark melody]
Is that how you feel?
No.
No. This is... this is you.
[plays bright, rich, flowing melody]
[melody ends]
So we got the court date.
We're getting adopted on Monday.
Wow. Monday.
Yeah.
I should, um, let you get that
arpeggio ascending. [laughs]
Right. Yeah.
[phone ringing, vibrating]
Hey.
[Wyatt] Do you still hate me?
Well, hate's a strong word.
How are you?
I'm good.
You look good.
How would you know?
* 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 are home with me *
* Right where you belong *
Wait. What exactly is a "Hoosier"?
I don't know, and nobody really does.
But everyone in Indiana
is damn proud to be one.
[laughs]
Hey, so, there's something
I've been wondering...
the next morning, at the motel,
where you kind of freaked out...
was that because...
I mean, were you really going for gas,
or were you trying to get away,
before Lena and Stef got there?
I was trying to get away
before they got there.
- With you.
- But you called them.
I changed my mind.
Why?
You know why.
So you forgive me?
No, there's nothing to forgive.
You did the right thing.
What?
I think you have more hair than me now.
Jealous?
A little.
Ah. [laughs]
We are looking for the X intercept
where Y is zero.
How's wrestling without me?
Same as it was with you.
So, if Y equals zero...
So, you don't miss me at all?
I miss not being the worst one on the team.
[both chuckle]
Come on, write it down.
Look, I really want to
help you do this thing,
without your meds.
But if you're not going
to try to concentrate...
Ok, ok. I promise I'll concentrate.
If you'll go to the Winter Ball with me.
I have a date.
- Who?
- None of your business.
[Jesus] What's his name?
[whispers] Shush.
[Curt] Jesus.
Would you like to stay after school?
Would you?
How about a little more
algebra, a little less attitude.
Yes, sir.
[Amanda] Mariana!
Guess who I'm here to see?
Who?
- Your mother.
- My mother?
About the dance.
Oh my... did I scare you?
Yeah, a little.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
- Mom?
- Oh, shoot.
It's supposed to be a surprise.
What?
I'm volunteering to be a chaperone
at Metropolis: The Winter Ball!
But don't worry, I'm all for dirty dancing.
Oh! I got to dash.
Don't want to keep someone's
future mother-in-law waiting.
- Mom...
- Ok.
Well, at least she likes me today.
Why does everything have to be a surprise?
Yeah, you'd think her
mood swings were enough.
Sorry.
But, you know, maybe she
needs to see a doctor.
No, she doesn't. She's... eccentric.
She called me a whore.
Maybe she had a little too much wine.
She doesn't even remember.
Hey, she obviously loves you.
So, speaking of the ball,
have you thought about...
Are you going?
Not sure. Are you going?
I sort of have to since my mom's
in charge of the whole thing.
Oh, right.
Uh... well, I better get to class.
- Hey. Still on nights?
- Yep.
Do you know for how much longer?
'Cause I really don't like
that Brandon's alone at night.
- He's sixteen.
- Yeah, exactly.
And he's not always alone.
Dani's over a lot.
She makes him dinner
practically every night.
- How's he doing?
- He's doing great.
He's practicing hard for his audition.
He's really back on track.
Well, good. Means he can come home soon.
Yeah, I'll tell Dani you say thank you.
- Stefanie Foster?
- Yeah?
- I'm Ana Gutierrez...
- I know who you are.
Well, we need to talk.
About what?
About your son.
He gave me money.
To change my story.
To say I wasn't there the night
that your partner killed Evan.
You're out of your mind.
Ask him.
I don't need to.
I'll tell the DA.
Unless...
I want $10,000.
And then you'll never see me again.
If I do see you again,
I will arrest you for trying
to extort a police officer.
Woo! Looking good there,
my friend. Thank you.
I got to stay in shape
for when I get back on the wrestling team.
Oh, yeah? Well, I'll tell you
what, you should try studying
because that's not going to happen
until you get your grades up.
Exercise helps me concentrate.
Mm-hmm. Let me ask you this.
Have you considered
going back on your meds?
[panting]
No.
Well, uh, Lena mentioned
that some of your teachers are concerned
because you've been a
little on edge lately.
They just don't want to deal.
You said you'd give me a chance to do this.
It hasn't been that long.
Ok, we'll give you some more time.
But I want to see a change in your grades
and your attitude.
Yeah, ok.
Ok.
You got some guns there, Mom.
Yeah, I know, I know. I
work out. I got to, right?
Listen, you haven't, uh,
you haven't seen... Ana, have you?
Ana? No.
Not since... at the hospital.
- Ok. Ok.
- Why?
No. Just, uh, just checking in.
But if she ever does try to contact you
or your sister, you will
let me know right away. Yes?
- Yeah. Ok.
- Ok.
So how many pull-ups can you do?
- More than you.
- Oh, please.
You little whippersnapper.
Get out of the way here.
You just want to see an old lady sweat.
- Put your money where your mouth is.
- I'm going to bed.
- You can get... Aw!
- I love you.
Doesn't he realize that only
like losers go to dances alone?
I'm going alone.
Well, you could ask Wyatt. It's
all over school that he's back.
Well, he's not back yet.
And he wouldn't want to go.
Well, I can't believe
they're announcing nominations
for Winter King and Queen tomorrow
and I don't even have a date.
Maybe Zac's waiting for you to ask him.
Why?
The panty incident?
Oh, my God.
Can everyone please
stop talking about that?
I'm just saying, he might be gun shy.
His mother was all right with it?
Yeah, I guess he wasn't happy in Indiana
and a friend's family said
he could come and live with them.
And, uh, how do we feel
about Wyatt being back in Callie's life?
He did call us to come get her.
That was the right thing to do.
Yeah, but letting her
run away with him was not.
I think he's a good kid.
Maybe it's a good thing...
... for both Callie and Brandon.
You think Callie's going
to start dating him again?
It wouldn't be the worst thing.
- Honey, that's...
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Hey, do you think for one night
we could sleep on a level playing field?
I'd love to see your beautiful
face and not the mattress.
I've just got all these
baby books to read, honey.
It's not that complicated.
They eat, they cry, they poop.
That's pretty much all you need to know.
I know we can't afford a new mattress,
but what if we can sell this one, huh?
We could do that.
No, I think it's illegal
to sell a used mattress?
No, it's illegal to cut tags off pillows.
- Why is that?
- I don't know.
Look, I hate this crack
between the two of us.
We barely cuddle anymore.
Hello, over there.
I think we should keep it.
It'll be great when I'm pregnant.
Adjust the position, be more comfortable.
Yeah, you're right.
[sighs] Someday we'll be intimate again.
It's fine, it's fine.
Honey, we were intimate last
week, when we inseminated.
[laughs] Nothing intimate about that.
[sighs]
- I'm sorry. I didn't...
- [bed rumbling]
[rumbling stops]
[sighs]
You barely touched your dinner.
Uh... sorry. I... wasn't hungry.
You want to talk about it?
Callie and Jude are getting adopted Monday.
Like, officially.
Is that what's bothering you?
No. I mean, I want her to get adopted.
It's just,
the guy she ran away with,
he's back, I guess.
What's the story with him?
They dated, um, when she
started at Anchor Beach.
Nothing serious.
Well, if she starts seeing him again,
you only have yourself to blame.
You moved in with your dad
to give yourself some space,
to get over Callie.
But all you're really doing
is giving her the space to get over you.
If she hasn't already.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
- I mean, I just...
- Tell her.
Tell her that you're not
going to get over each other.
Look. Why don't I get your dad
to take me to a movie tomorrow night
before he goes into work.
You guys can have the place to
yourself for a couple of hours.
To talk, or, you know... whatever.
You have to convince her it's not too late.
[pop ballad plays]
* Where do you come and go
when you're cold outside? *
* No one cares anymore *
* Another face in the
cause we call this time *
- _
- * Getting lost in the fall *
- * I'll tell you something *
- _
* The others won't *
* It took a thousand miles
to get to where I am *
* Get to where I am *
* No holding back *
* Scared of prying eyes *
- [engine revs]
- Hey! Hey, no, wait!
I'm here! I'm here!
So, I was going to wait for you to ask me,
but then Callie made me realize...
Whoa, stop.
Follow me.
Open it.
[laughs] What is this?
Mystery Date. You know, the board game.
Is it new?
No. It's like, old. It's really old.
It was my mom's favorite
game from when she was a girl.
I told her you wouldn't get it.
Well, what's the mystery?
Well, see, you don't know
who's behind the door.
It could be your dream date
or, you know, a bum.
So, which are you?
Hopefully not a bum.
My mom thought that it
would be a "charming" way
of asking you to be my
date to the Winter Ball.
It is charming.
And yes!
[grunts]
You ok?
- Yeah, he's just...
- Holding a grudge?
I guess. I don't know.
He promised some great revenge,
but so far, it's been keying
my car and bumping into me.
Well, let's hope that's as far as it goes.
Uh, so, I was, uh, wondering if...
Can you come over after
school? To my dad's?
Why? What's up?
Well, no, there's just
something I need you to hear.
Oh, for your audition?
I could meet you in
the music room at lunch?
Actually, it kind of
needs to be at my dad's.
Ok. Well, I have group,
so I could stop by after, like around 4:30.
Ok. Yeah. See you then.
[girl over PA] Good morning, Anchor Beach.
The votes are in and it's time to announce
your nominees for Winter King and Queen.
Starting with ladies first: Paige Blyers...
Oh my God! You are so going to win!
... Talya Banks, and...
... Callie Jacob.
[scoffs] Callie Jacob? Is that a joke?
I think you'd make a great queen.
I'm taking my name off the ballot.
It's only a joke if you let it get to you.
You should act like, hell
yeah, I got nominated,
and then, the joke's on them.
Well, that is a very
enlightened way of looking at it.
I'm a very enlightened guy.
I guess I'm not.
Hey, um, how about a
ride to group, Guru Wy?
Unfortunately, I'm not so enlightened
when it comes to reading parking signs.
My car got towed this morning
and I don't have $150 to get it out.
What about your friend's parents?
Can't they help you out?
He actually didn't ask his parents
if I could live with them until I got here.
He thought they'd feel obligated
if I just showed up on their doorstep.
Turns out, they didn't.
So, where have you been living?
[playing bright melody]
* Because I'm just an outlaw *
* Wanted, if you want me *
* I love you every
day and every night *
* Love, love, love is my crime *
* So, baby, come catch
me and let's do the time *
[phone rings, vibrates]
[Callie] He's been living in his
car. He's got no place to stay.
I ain't allowed no roommates.
It's just for a few nights. Please?
All right.
It's cool.
So, how do you know her?
Well, mostly from the group home I was in.
After juvie.
She's good people.
Hey, um, I've got to get
home. I'll call you later, ok?
We'll figure something out. Don't worry.
You hungry?
Uh, yeah. Thanks.
It's hot.
Thanks.
So, Callie says you
guys met at a group home?
Met again.
You met before that?
In juvie.
I beat her up.
I'm not going to the stupid Winter Ball.
Sorry, Lena.
And I'm taking my name off the ballot.
We can do that.
I still think you should go, though.
Why?
What?
Principal Sanchez did not give
a very positive progress
report to your parole officer.
What did she say?
[Lena] That you are not making friends,
and not participating in school activities.
Well, she should write that the
kids at school are making fun of me.
You don't know that for sure.
I wish people were making fun of me.
- Mariana...
- If that meant
I was getting nominated for Winter Queen.
At least people know who you are.
Have you ever seen that movie Carrie?
Jesus. Really?
Where's Jude, by the way?
He's having dinner at Connor's tonight.
What if you didn't take
your name off the ballot?
Wouldn't that look good to your PO,
if the kids at school were nominating you?
- As a joke.
- He wouldn't know that.
And if it is a joke,
you'd have the last laugh.
- That's what Wyatt said.
- [Lena] I think he's right.
You know, when I was in school
they used to call me "Oreo."
- Because I'm bi-racial.
- That's lame.
Not as lame as when they
found out I was a lesbian.
Then they called me a "Klon-Dyke Bar."
[laughs]
That's not funny.
It's not funny. It's mean. It's very mean.
So, what did you do about it?
Well, I brought a hundred
Klondike Bars to school one day,
I passed them out to all the kids,
and they never called me that again.
That's kind of awesome.
Sometimes, the best way to
fight back is to rise above.
How's business?
It's pretty good. There's a run on punch.
Can I get some of that?
Thank you for getting me this gig.
Now I'll be able to get my car back.
Thank Lena.
Hey, how's it going at Daphne's?
She hasn't tried to beat me up. Yet.
- People change.
- That's true.
Look at you, you're at the Winter Ball,
nominated for Winter Queen.
You even kept your name on the ballot.
Yeah. I'm "rising above."
And I'm pouring punch.
Maybe you'll dance with me later?
Maybe.
After they get a ballot, they
get a stamp on their wrist,
so that they can't vote again.
Ok, I got it. No ballot stuffing.
This isn't Florida. I'm all over it.
Great, thank you.
You really knocked yourself out this year.
Yeah. The kids seem to be
having a great time, right?
I wish Callie was.
She's here. That's what counts.
Oh. And nominated for Winter Queen.
Yeah, the kids must be
really taking a liking to her.
Oh, my son is here. Excuse me.
Wow. I was beginning to think
you weren't going to show.
You really know how to throw a party.
Thank you.
Uh, Brandon, will you do me a favor?
Could you ask Callie to dance?
Brothers can ask sisters to dance, right?
I just... I don't really
feel like dancing right now.
Brandon, please?
And if you could dance
near Principal Sanchez,
that would be great.
[rock music plays]
I'll be right back.
Kyle Dumbass, really?
I'm just saying, you could do better.
God knows I've done worse.
Hey.
I thought you bailed.
You want to dance?
It's ok. Lena asked me to ask you.
Something about looking
like you're having fun?
Right.
Yeah, thanks.
Hey, I just voted for you!
Thanks!
[distorted laughter, chatter]
[boys talking indistinctly in stall]
Hey, let me in.
- What's up?
- This the place?
Close the door.
Awesome.
Well, to Callie Jacob.
Yeah, Callie Jacob.
[music continuing]
Can we go somewhere and talk?
Ok.
[slow pop song playing]
* Enter my galaxy *
- Oh, man.
- That's awesome.
May I?
Oh, um, sure.
I know what's going on.
- What?
- I'm not a fool.
I know you're screwing her.
What I don't understand
is how you can flaunt it
in front of all our friends.
Mom...
I won't be humiliated, Zachary. I won't.
What happened?
I'm sorry.
Just this whole Winter Queen thing
is making me feel really uncomfortable.
Honestly, I am so tired of being judged.
I'm tired, too.
Of what?
Of being here whenever you
need my shoulder to cry on.
What about when I need you?
What about when I needed
to talk to you the other day
and you just blew me off?
I didn't, I... I was with Wyatt.
Oh good, that makes me feel so much better.
He was living in his car,
so I took him to Daphne's.
Then why don't you get a place together?
I mean, that was the plan, right?
- If you'd made it to Indiana.
- Where's this is coming from?
I'm still in love with you.
Don't.
We can't...
Yes, we can.
You can still get adopted.
And... I'll stay at my dad's.
We can see each other there.
Behind everybody's backs?
Then we'll wait till we're 18...
Brandon, I'm going to be your sister.
We're not related.
We don't share the same blood.
There's nothing wrong
or illegal about that.
So...
if you're not really my brother,
then Stef and Lena won't
really be my mothers.
- No, it's not the same.
- It's exactly the same.
I need a family.
Not a piece of paper.
If that's what adoption
is, then what's the point?
Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
We can't keep doing this.
But we do. We keep doing this.
Because what we feel,
happens once in a lifetime.
- You have to let me go.
- We have to fight for it.
Please.
Then, help me.
Tell me you don't love me anymore.
Tell me something to make me get over you.
I had sex with Wyatt.
When we ran away, we stayed
in the same motel room.
Slept in the same bed.
In the middle of the night,
I curled up next to him.
We were half asleep... it just happened.
If I can have everyone's attention, please.
Can all the nominees
for Winter King and Queen
please come up on stage?
Her car's still here.
That's a good thing, I guess.
Go back in the party. I'll find her.
Not alone you won't.
Your votes have been counted
and your Winter King and Queen are...
[drumroll]
... Vico Cerar!
- Woo!
- [cheering]
And your Queen is...
[drumroll]
... Callie Jacob.
[applause, cheering]
[students chanting]
Cal-lie, Cal-lie, Cal-lie!
[chanting continuing]
So, how does it feel to
be Winter King and Queen?
Uh... Awesome!
[cheering]
Callie? Do you have anything to say?
Um...
Um... this is such an honor.
I want to thank everyone who voted for me
and just say from the bottom of my heart,
how thrilled I am to be your Winter Queen.
[chanting] Cal-lie! Cal-lie! Cal-lie!
[indistinct conversation]
[slow pop song playing]
- [retching]
- What's going on in here?
She... just... she doesn't feel well.
Get out here, right now.
[bottle clinks, rolls]
Where did this alcohol come from?
Callie Jacob bought it,
so we'd vote for her.
I didn't even want to be Winter queen.
- You could have fooled me.
- No, I was just...
She wanted to take her name off the ballot.
- Then why didn't she?
- We encouraged her not to.
We thought it might look
good to her parole officer.
Oh, and winning would look even better.
How would she even buy
alcohol? She's 16 years old.
- She could have a fake ID.
- I don't have a fake ID.
You can search my purse.
I'll go get it right now.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Karina. What's going on?
- I'm being set up.
- By whom?
I don't know.
[pop music playing]
Slow your roll there.
- Hey, hey.
- What do you want?
- How about your car keys.
- Jesus...
He's drunk.
Look, dude, just mind your own business.
- Let him go!
- I just want his keys!
Get off him! He's not driving! Ok?
- I am!
- I was just...
Being a jerk! Just stay away from me!
Mom?
Hello.
[stammering] Are you ok?
I'm fine.
Let's go home.
Home? I'm...
I'm sorry... do I know you?
It's me.
Zac.
Your... your son.
That's not mine.
It's got your picture and your name on it.
Let me see.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to call the police.
I'm going to keep this.
Like wear it every day.
Hey, you think you can get
to me by hurting Callie?
You seem pretty upset about it.
She could get sent back to juvie!
Which would break your heart, wouldn't it?
All I have to do is tell them you set
her up because I bought back the IDs.
What IDs? The kids we sold
to aren't going to talk,
so it's your word against mine.
She didn't do anything to you.
Well, she did ask me to make
her a fake ID. Which I did.
And when they check her phone, they'll see
she texted a few kids to spread the word
about the complimentary
booze in the bathroom...
[both shouting]
- Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa!
- Get your hands off me!
What the hell is going on here?
Get out of my face!
If you know what's going down with Callie,
you need to do something, now.
[man] Can you think of any reason
someone would go through all this trouble
to make this fake ID and
plant it in your purse?
Callie, you need to tell the truth.
We don't know that she's not.
I'd like to see those texts, please.
- Brandon, not now.
- I know who did this.
Oh, yeah? Who?
It was me.
Be very careful what you
say right now, Brandon.
I set Callie up.
I planted the fake ID in her purse.
I sent texts from her
phone. I bought the alcohol.
- Everything.
- Brandon...
He's obviously trying to protect her.
No. I'm not.
I wanted to hurt her because she hurt me.
She led me on and made me
believe she cared about me.
And she lied.
So, I wanted to send her back to juvie
so we wouldn't adopt her.
How did you buy the alcohol?
With this.
I took your key and made the
IDs on the machine at school.
Why come forward now?
Because I realized
tonight that I was wrong.
- She didn't lead me on...
- Don't do this.
Let me talk, Callie.
I realized tonight that
you didn't lead me on.
You just never felt the
way I did. Not really.
It was all in my head.
And I should've accepted
what you kept telling me.
What you needed. What you wanted.
It was never me.
What do you want me to do?
Arrest him.
[Sanchez over PA] Every student will
be subjected to a sobriety test...
Wait. What's going on? Brandon?!
Are you ok?
Brandon!
- Callie, stay back.
- It wasn't true.
What I said about Wyatt, it was not true.
- Where is he?
- He's still in the car.
I talked to the guys
who brought Brandon in.
They don't want to do
the paperwork on this.
You better start talking,
and I don't want one more
lie to come out of your mouth.
I did take the key...
... and I did make fake IDs with Vico.
But then, I realized it was a mistake,
so I bought them all back.
And, um... and then he got pissed.
And he set up Callie to get back at me.
Why would you make fake IDs?
To sell them.
Yes, I realize that.
Why?
I needed the money to pay you back
for all the piano lessons I didn't go to.
You paid me back.
Dani gave me that money.
To give to you.
What happened to your father's money?
I gave it to Ana.
You gave the money to Ana?
Why?
To change her story.
So you wouldn't go on trial.
- [Wyatt] We should get on the road.
- [Callie] What's the hurry?
I'm going to go gas up the car.
You meet me down there as soon as you can.
Zachary!
- Who is that?
- Get in the car!
- My mom. I'm sorry.
- Right now! Now!
- Well, now you know.
- Know what?
- How weird my mom is.
- Ok, yeah, she's a little kooky.
But so what.
I know that you were at school
the night of my photo
shoot, making fake IDs.
I guess one of the fakes got
confiscated last night at a bar.
Don't worry, I'll get you your money back.
What if I moved in?
Maybe when he moves back to his
mom's, we can revisit the idea.
So what did you do with the money?
I mean, since you didn't give it to Callie.
They really want me to testify,
and I... I'm scared they're
going to cut off my food stamps.
Maybe I can help you.
You're telling people our IDs don't work?
I changed my mind.
Well, now I'm going to return the favor.
[playing classical melody]
That was amazing.
Yeah. Except, I can't keep the triplets
in time with the eighth notes,
and I keep missing the sharps.
Well, yeah, there's that,
but, um, otherwise...
[chuckles]
I have an audition for the
San Diego Junior Symphony.
How did that happen?
My dad's girlfriend knows somebody.
Wow. Symphony?
Junior.
But still, that's a big deal.
Yeah. If I can get the
ascending arpeggio right.
It's nice to see you... so passionate
about your music again.
Remember, you brought me up here
my first day at Anchor Beach?
Yeah.
I never thought I'd still be here. [laughs]
I... I asked you how you felt
when your moms adopted Jesus and Mariana.
Yeah, I, um...
I said this was me and my moms...
[plays simple melody]
... and then the twins came...
[adds accompaniment]
- ... and then Jude...
- [plays richer melody]
- [piano pauses]
- ... and then... you.
[bangs out dark melody]
Is that how you feel?
No.
No. This is... this is you.
[plays bright, rich, flowing melody]
[melody ends]
So we got the court date.
We're getting adopted on Monday.
Wow. Monday.
Yeah.
I should, um, let you get that
arpeggio ascending. [laughs]
Right. Yeah.
[phone ringing, vibrating]
Hey.
[Wyatt] Do you still hate me?
Well, hate's a strong word.
How are you?
I'm good.
You look good.
How would you know?
* 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 are home with me *
* Right where you belong *
Wait. What exactly is a "Hoosier"?
I don't know, and nobody really does.
But everyone in Indiana
is damn proud to be one.
[laughs]
Hey, so, there's something
I've been wondering...
the next morning, at the motel,
where you kind of freaked out...
was that because...
I mean, were you really going for gas,
or were you trying to get away,
before Lena and Stef got there?
I was trying to get away
before they got there.
- With you.
- But you called them.
I changed my mind.
Why?
You know why.
So you forgive me?
No, there's nothing to forgive.
You did the right thing.
What?
I think you have more hair than me now.
Jealous?
A little.
Ah. [laughs]
We are looking for the X intercept
where Y is zero.
How's wrestling without me?
Same as it was with you.
So, if Y equals zero...
So, you don't miss me at all?
I miss not being the worst one on the team.
[both chuckle]
Come on, write it down.
Look, I really want to
help you do this thing,
without your meds.
But if you're not going
to try to concentrate...
Ok, ok. I promise I'll concentrate.
If you'll go to the Winter Ball with me.
I have a date.
- Who?
- None of your business.
[Jesus] What's his name?
[whispers] Shush.
[Curt] Jesus.
Would you like to stay after school?
Would you?
How about a little more
algebra, a little less attitude.
Yes, sir.
[Amanda] Mariana!
Guess who I'm here to see?
Who?
- Your mother.
- My mother?
About the dance.
Oh my... did I scare you?
Yeah, a little.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
- Mom?
- Oh, shoot.
It's supposed to be a surprise.
What?
I'm volunteering to be a chaperone
at Metropolis: The Winter Ball!
But don't worry, I'm all for dirty dancing.
Oh! I got to dash.
Don't want to keep someone's
future mother-in-law waiting.
- Mom...
- Ok.
Well, at least she likes me today.
Why does everything have to be a surprise?
Yeah, you'd think her
mood swings were enough.
Sorry.
But, you know, maybe she
needs to see a doctor.
No, she doesn't. She's... eccentric.
She called me a whore.
Maybe she had a little too much wine.
She doesn't even remember.
Hey, she obviously loves you.
So, speaking of the ball,
have you thought about...
Are you going?
Not sure. Are you going?
I sort of have to since my mom's
in charge of the whole thing.
Oh, right.
Uh... well, I better get to class.
- Hey. Still on nights?
- Yep.
Do you know for how much longer?
'Cause I really don't like
that Brandon's alone at night.
- He's sixteen.
- Yeah, exactly.
And he's not always alone.
Dani's over a lot.
She makes him dinner
practically every night.
- How's he doing?
- He's doing great.
He's practicing hard for his audition.
He's really back on track.
Well, good. Means he can come home soon.
Yeah, I'll tell Dani you say thank you.
- Stefanie Foster?
- Yeah?
- I'm Ana Gutierrez...
- I know who you are.
Well, we need to talk.
About what?
About your son.
He gave me money.
To change my story.
To say I wasn't there the night
that your partner killed Evan.
You're out of your mind.
Ask him.
I don't need to.
I'll tell the DA.
Unless...
I want $10,000.
And then you'll never see me again.
If I do see you again,
I will arrest you for trying
to extort a police officer.
Woo! Looking good there,
my friend. Thank you.
I got to stay in shape
for when I get back on the wrestling team.
Oh, yeah? Well, I'll tell you
what, you should try studying
because that's not going to happen
until you get your grades up.
Exercise helps me concentrate.
Mm-hmm. Let me ask you this.
Have you considered
going back on your meds?
[panting]
No.
Well, uh, Lena mentioned
that some of your teachers are concerned
because you've been a
little on edge lately.
They just don't want to deal.
You said you'd give me a chance to do this.
It hasn't been that long.
Ok, we'll give you some more time.
But I want to see a change in your grades
and your attitude.
Yeah, ok.
Ok.
You got some guns there, Mom.
Yeah, I know, I know. I
work out. I got to, right?
Listen, you haven't, uh,
you haven't seen... Ana, have you?
Ana? No.
Not since... at the hospital.
- Ok. Ok.
- Why?
No. Just, uh, just checking in.
But if she ever does try to contact you
or your sister, you will
let me know right away. Yes?
- Yeah. Ok.
- Ok.
So how many pull-ups can you do?
- More than you.
- Oh, please.
You little whippersnapper.
Get out of the way here.
You just want to see an old lady sweat.
- Put your money where your mouth is.
- I'm going to bed.
- You can get... Aw!
- I love you.
Doesn't he realize that only
like losers go to dances alone?
I'm going alone.
Well, you could ask Wyatt. It's
all over school that he's back.
Well, he's not back yet.
And he wouldn't want to go.
Well, I can't believe
they're announcing nominations
for Winter King and Queen tomorrow
and I don't even have a date.
Maybe Zac's waiting for you to ask him.
Why?
The panty incident?
Oh, my God.
Can everyone please
stop talking about that?
I'm just saying, he might be gun shy.
His mother was all right with it?
Yeah, I guess he wasn't happy in Indiana
and a friend's family said
he could come and live with them.
And, uh, how do we feel
about Wyatt being back in Callie's life?
He did call us to come get her.
That was the right thing to do.
Yeah, but letting her
run away with him was not.
I think he's a good kid.
Maybe it's a good thing...
... for both Callie and Brandon.
You think Callie's going
to start dating him again?
It wouldn't be the worst thing.
- Honey, that's...
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Hey, do you think for one night
we could sleep on a level playing field?
I'd love to see your beautiful
face and not the mattress.
I've just got all these
baby books to read, honey.
It's not that complicated.
They eat, they cry, they poop.
That's pretty much all you need to know.
I know we can't afford a new mattress,
but what if we can sell this one, huh?
We could do that.
No, I think it's illegal
to sell a used mattress?
No, it's illegal to cut tags off pillows.
- Why is that?
- I don't know.
Look, I hate this crack
between the two of us.
We barely cuddle anymore.
Hello, over there.
I think we should keep it.
It'll be great when I'm pregnant.
Adjust the position, be more comfortable.
Yeah, you're right.
[sighs] Someday we'll be intimate again.
It's fine, it's fine.
Honey, we were intimate last
week, when we inseminated.
[laughs] Nothing intimate about that.
[sighs]
- I'm sorry. I didn't...
- [bed rumbling]
[rumbling stops]
[sighs]
You barely touched your dinner.
Uh... sorry. I... wasn't hungry.
You want to talk about it?
Callie and Jude are getting adopted Monday.
Like, officially.
Is that what's bothering you?
No. I mean, I want her to get adopted.
It's just,
the guy she ran away with,
he's back, I guess.
What's the story with him?
They dated, um, when she
started at Anchor Beach.
Nothing serious.
Well, if she starts seeing him again,
you only have yourself to blame.
You moved in with your dad
to give yourself some space,
to get over Callie.
But all you're really doing
is giving her the space to get over you.
If she hasn't already.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
- I mean, I just...
- Tell her.
Tell her that you're not
going to get over each other.
Look. Why don't I get your dad
to take me to a movie tomorrow night
before he goes into work.
You guys can have the place to
yourself for a couple of hours.
To talk, or, you know... whatever.
You have to convince her it's not too late.
[pop ballad plays]
* Where do you come and go
when you're cold outside? *
* No one cares anymore *
* Another face in the
cause we call this time *
- _
- * Getting lost in the fall *
- * I'll tell you something *
- _
* The others won't *
* It took a thousand miles
to get to where I am *
* Get to where I am *
* No holding back *
* Scared of prying eyes *
- [engine revs]
- Hey! Hey, no, wait!
I'm here! I'm here!
So, I was going to wait for you to ask me,
but then Callie made me realize...
Whoa, stop.
Follow me.
Open it.
[laughs] What is this?
Mystery Date. You know, the board game.
Is it new?
No. It's like, old. It's really old.
It was my mom's favorite
game from when she was a girl.
I told her you wouldn't get it.
Well, what's the mystery?
Well, see, you don't know
who's behind the door.
It could be your dream date
or, you know, a bum.
So, which are you?
Hopefully not a bum.
My mom thought that it
would be a "charming" way
of asking you to be my
date to the Winter Ball.
It is charming.
And yes!
[grunts]
You ok?
- Yeah, he's just...
- Holding a grudge?
I guess. I don't know.
He promised some great revenge,
but so far, it's been keying
my car and bumping into me.
Well, let's hope that's as far as it goes.
Uh, so, I was, uh, wondering if...
Can you come over after
school? To my dad's?
Why? What's up?
Well, no, there's just
something I need you to hear.
Oh, for your audition?
I could meet you in
the music room at lunch?
Actually, it kind of
needs to be at my dad's.
Ok. Well, I have group,
so I could stop by after, like around 4:30.
Ok. Yeah. See you then.
[girl over PA] Good morning, Anchor Beach.
The votes are in and it's time to announce
your nominees for Winter King and Queen.
Starting with ladies first: Paige Blyers...
Oh my God! You are so going to win!
... Talya Banks, and...
... Callie Jacob.
[scoffs] Callie Jacob? Is that a joke?
I think you'd make a great queen.
I'm taking my name off the ballot.
It's only a joke if you let it get to you.
You should act like, hell
yeah, I got nominated,
and then, the joke's on them.
Well, that is a very
enlightened way of looking at it.
I'm a very enlightened guy.
I guess I'm not.
Hey, um, how about a
ride to group, Guru Wy?
Unfortunately, I'm not so enlightened
when it comes to reading parking signs.
My car got towed this morning
and I don't have $150 to get it out.
What about your friend's parents?
Can't they help you out?
He actually didn't ask his parents
if I could live with them until I got here.
He thought they'd feel obligated
if I just showed up on their doorstep.
Turns out, they didn't.
So, where have you been living?
[playing bright melody]
* Because I'm just an outlaw *
* Wanted, if you want me *
* I love you every
day and every night *
* Love, love, love is my crime *
* So, baby, come catch
me and let's do the time *
[phone rings, vibrates]
[Callie] He's been living in his
car. He's got no place to stay.
I ain't allowed no roommates.
It's just for a few nights. Please?
All right.
It's cool.
So, how do you know her?
Well, mostly from the group home I was in.
After juvie.
She's good people.
Hey, um, I've got to get
home. I'll call you later, ok?
We'll figure something out. Don't worry.
You hungry?
Uh, yeah. Thanks.
It's hot.
Thanks.
So, Callie says you
guys met at a group home?
Met again.
You met before that?
In juvie.
I beat her up.
I'm not going to the stupid Winter Ball.
Sorry, Lena.
And I'm taking my name off the ballot.
We can do that.
I still think you should go, though.
Why?
What?
Principal Sanchez did not give
a very positive progress
report to your parole officer.
What did she say?
[Lena] That you are not making friends,
and not participating in school activities.
Well, she should write that the
kids at school are making fun of me.
You don't know that for sure.
I wish people were making fun of me.
- Mariana...
- If that meant
I was getting nominated for Winter Queen.
At least people know who you are.
Have you ever seen that movie Carrie?
Jesus. Really?
Where's Jude, by the way?
He's having dinner at Connor's tonight.
What if you didn't take
your name off the ballot?
Wouldn't that look good to your PO,
if the kids at school were nominating you?
- As a joke.
- He wouldn't know that.
And if it is a joke,
you'd have the last laugh.
- That's what Wyatt said.
- [Lena] I think he's right.
You know, when I was in school
they used to call me "Oreo."
- Because I'm bi-racial.
- That's lame.
Not as lame as when they
found out I was a lesbian.
Then they called me a "Klon-Dyke Bar."
[laughs]
That's not funny.
It's not funny. It's mean. It's very mean.
So, what did you do about it?
Well, I brought a hundred
Klondike Bars to school one day,
I passed them out to all the kids,
and they never called me that again.
That's kind of awesome.
Sometimes, the best way to
fight back is to rise above.
How's business?
It's pretty good. There's a run on punch.
Can I get some of that?
Thank you for getting me this gig.
Now I'll be able to get my car back.
Thank Lena.
Hey, how's it going at Daphne's?
She hasn't tried to beat me up. Yet.
- People change.
- That's true.
Look at you, you're at the Winter Ball,
nominated for Winter Queen.
You even kept your name on the ballot.
Yeah. I'm "rising above."
And I'm pouring punch.
Maybe you'll dance with me later?
Maybe.
After they get a ballot, they
get a stamp on their wrist,
so that they can't vote again.
Ok, I got it. No ballot stuffing.
This isn't Florida. I'm all over it.
Great, thank you.
You really knocked yourself out this year.
Yeah. The kids seem to be
having a great time, right?
I wish Callie was.
She's here. That's what counts.
Oh. And nominated for Winter Queen.
Yeah, the kids must be
really taking a liking to her.
Oh, my son is here. Excuse me.
Wow. I was beginning to think
you weren't going to show.
You really know how to throw a party.
Thank you.
Uh, Brandon, will you do me a favor?
Could you ask Callie to dance?
Brothers can ask sisters to dance, right?
I just... I don't really
feel like dancing right now.
Brandon, please?
And if you could dance
near Principal Sanchez,
that would be great.
[rock music plays]
I'll be right back.
Kyle Dumbass, really?
I'm just saying, you could do better.
God knows I've done worse.
Hey.
I thought you bailed.
You want to dance?
It's ok. Lena asked me to ask you.
Something about looking
like you're having fun?
Right.
Yeah, thanks.
Hey, I just voted for you!
Thanks!
[distorted laughter, chatter]
[boys talking indistinctly in stall]
Hey, let me in.
- What's up?
- This the place?
Close the door.
Awesome.
Well, to Callie Jacob.
Yeah, Callie Jacob.
[music continuing]
Can we go somewhere and talk?
Ok.
[slow pop song playing]
* Enter my galaxy *
- Oh, man.
- That's awesome.
May I?
Oh, um, sure.
I know what's going on.
- What?
- I'm not a fool.
I know you're screwing her.
What I don't understand
is how you can flaunt it
in front of all our friends.
Mom...
I won't be humiliated, Zachary. I won't.
What happened?
I'm sorry.
Just this whole Winter Queen thing
is making me feel really uncomfortable.
Honestly, I am so tired of being judged.
I'm tired, too.
Of what?
Of being here whenever you
need my shoulder to cry on.
What about when I need you?
What about when I needed
to talk to you the other day
and you just blew me off?
I didn't, I... I was with Wyatt.
Oh good, that makes me feel so much better.
He was living in his car,
so I took him to Daphne's.
Then why don't you get a place together?
I mean, that was the plan, right?
- If you'd made it to Indiana.
- Where's this is coming from?
I'm still in love with you.
Don't.
We can't...
Yes, we can.
You can still get adopted.
And... I'll stay at my dad's.
We can see each other there.
Behind everybody's backs?
Then we'll wait till we're 18...
Brandon, I'm going to be your sister.
We're not related.
We don't share the same blood.
There's nothing wrong
or illegal about that.
So...
if you're not really my brother,
then Stef and Lena won't
really be my mothers.
- No, it's not the same.
- It's exactly the same.
I need a family.
Not a piece of paper.
If that's what adoption
is, then what's the point?
Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
We can't keep doing this.
But we do. We keep doing this.
Because what we feel,
happens once in a lifetime.
- You have to let me go.
- We have to fight for it.
Please.
Then, help me.
Tell me you don't love me anymore.
Tell me something to make me get over you.
I had sex with Wyatt.
When we ran away, we stayed
in the same motel room.
Slept in the same bed.
In the middle of the night,
I curled up next to him.
We were half asleep... it just happened.
If I can have everyone's attention, please.
Can all the nominees
for Winter King and Queen
please come up on stage?
Her car's still here.
That's a good thing, I guess.
Go back in the party. I'll find her.
Not alone you won't.
Your votes have been counted
and your Winter King and Queen are...
[drumroll]
... Vico Cerar!
- Woo!
- [cheering]
And your Queen is...
[drumroll]
... Callie Jacob.
[applause, cheering]
[students chanting]
Cal-lie, Cal-lie, Cal-lie!
[chanting continuing]
So, how does it feel to
be Winter King and Queen?
Uh... Awesome!
[cheering]
Callie? Do you have anything to say?
Um...
Um... this is such an honor.
I want to thank everyone who voted for me
and just say from the bottom of my heart,
how thrilled I am to be your Winter Queen.
[chanting] Cal-lie! Cal-lie! Cal-lie!
[indistinct conversation]
[slow pop song playing]
- [retching]
- What's going on in here?
She... just... she doesn't feel well.
Get out here, right now.
[bottle clinks, rolls]
Where did this alcohol come from?
Callie Jacob bought it,
so we'd vote for her.
I didn't even want to be Winter queen.
- You could have fooled me.
- No, I was just...
She wanted to take her name off the ballot.
- Then why didn't she?
- We encouraged her not to.
We thought it might look
good to her parole officer.
Oh, and winning would look even better.
How would she even buy
alcohol? She's 16 years old.
- She could have a fake ID.
- I don't have a fake ID.
You can search my purse.
I'll go get it right now.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Karina. What's going on?
- I'm being set up.
- By whom?
I don't know.
[pop music playing]
Slow your roll there.
- Hey, hey.
- What do you want?
- How about your car keys.
- Jesus...
He's drunk.
Look, dude, just mind your own business.
- Let him go!
- I just want his keys!
Get off him! He's not driving! Ok?
- I am!
- I was just...
Being a jerk! Just stay away from me!
Mom?
Hello.
[stammering] Are you ok?
I'm fine.
Let's go home.
Home? I'm...
I'm sorry... do I know you?
It's me.
Zac.
Your... your son.
That's not mine.
It's got your picture and your name on it.
Let me see.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to call the police.
I'm going to keep this.
Like wear it every day.
Hey, you think you can get
to me by hurting Callie?
You seem pretty upset about it.
She could get sent back to juvie!
Which would break your heart, wouldn't it?
All I have to do is tell them you set
her up because I bought back the IDs.
What IDs? The kids we sold
to aren't going to talk,
so it's your word against mine.
She didn't do anything to you.
Well, she did ask me to make
her a fake ID. Which I did.
And when they check her phone, they'll see
she texted a few kids to spread the word
about the complimentary
booze in the bathroom...
[both shouting]
- Hey, hey! Whoa, whoa!
- Get your hands off me!
What the hell is going on here?
Get out of my face!
If you know what's going down with Callie,
you need to do something, now.
[man] Can you think of any reason
someone would go through all this trouble
to make this fake ID and
plant it in your purse?
Callie, you need to tell the truth.
We don't know that she's not.
I'd like to see those texts, please.
- Brandon, not now.
- I know who did this.
Oh, yeah? Who?
It was me.
Be very careful what you
say right now, Brandon.
I set Callie up.
I planted the fake ID in her purse.
I sent texts from her
phone. I bought the alcohol.
- Everything.
- Brandon...
He's obviously trying to protect her.
No. I'm not.
I wanted to hurt her because she hurt me.
She led me on and made me
believe she cared about me.
And she lied.
So, I wanted to send her back to juvie
so we wouldn't adopt her.
How did you buy the alcohol?
With this.
I took your key and made the
IDs on the machine at school.
Why come forward now?
Because I realized
tonight that I was wrong.
- She didn't lead me on...
- Don't do this.
Let me talk, Callie.
I realized tonight that
you didn't lead me on.
You just never felt the
way I did. Not really.
It was all in my head.
And I should've accepted
what you kept telling me.
What you needed. What you wanted.
It was never me.
What do you want me to do?
Arrest him.
[Sanchez over PA] Every student will
be subjected to a sobriety test...
Wait. What's going on? Brandon?!
Are you ok?
Brandon!
- Callie, stay back.
- It wasn't true.
What I said about Wyatt, it was not true.
- Where is he?
- He's still in the car.
I talked to the guys
who brought Brandon in.
They don't want to do
the paperwork on this.
You better start talking,
and I don't want one more
lie to come out of your mouth.
I did take the key...
... and I did make fake IDs with Vico.
But then, I realized it was a mistake,
so I bought them all back.
And, um... and then he got pissed.
And he set up Callie to get back at me.
Why would you make fake IDs?
To sell them.
Yes, I realize that.
Why?
I needed the money to pay you back
for all the piano lessons I didn't go to.
You paid me back.
Dani gave me that money.
To give to you.
What happened to your father's money?
I gave it to Ana.
You gave the money to Ana?
Why?
To change her story.
So you wouldn't go on trial.
