The Fosters (2013–2018): Season 4, Episode 5 - Forty - full transcript

The family plans a '70s-themed birthday bash for Lena, but Lena's mother's concerns about Stuart threaten to ruin the party. Meanwhile, Callie and Aaron try to prove Kyle's innocence; Mariana's STEAM club vie for an invitation to a robotics competition; Jude's upset when he learns Conner visited town without seeing him; and Brandon considers drastic measures to earn extra cash.

Previously on The Fosters...

But I'm not coming home. I'm
gonna live here with Cortney.

I've got a kid and a husband
who's suing for full custody

because I'm an unfit mother.

Can I help you?

Sheila.

- You adopted Kyle?
- Kyle is in prison.

Are you worried I still
have feelings for Gabe?

Do you?

God's gonna send me the boyfriend I want

when the time is right.



- Why did you bring me here?
- I thought you'd like it.

Really? It didn't have anything to
do with the fact that Noah's gay?

I'm Aaron.

Cameron.

I've been interning at the
Juvenile Justice Project.

They help minors who
were given unfair trials.

You look really handsome.

You are like a foot taller
since I last saw you.

And his voice is like an octave lower.

(deep voice) No, it isn't.

Oh, Lord.

Stef: Pizza's here!

Hi, guys, so good to see
you. Glad you could make it!

Oh, thank you.



And my baby daughter's
40th birthday party!

I wouldn't miss it for the world,

although I suppose it
means I'm finally old.

You've been old for a while, dear.

Hey, sweetheart, how are you holding up?

I'm fine.

Your mom told us about that boy, Nick.

You were very brave.

I'm just glad it's over.

Yeah, you know, I'm
thinking that we should

cancel our room at the hotel

- and spend the whole weekend here.
- Why?

Well, we could spend more
time with our grandkids.

Is it okay?

Yeah, they could stay in Brandon's room.

Dana: And where would Brandon sleep?

Jesus.

What? He doesn't live here anymore.

Dana: I'm sorry, where does Brandon live?

With his married girlfriend
and her three-year-old son.

Mariana.

She's, um...

getting a divorce.

Well, then,

so long as she's getting a divorce.

Why on earth would you
allow Brandon to move in

with an older woman and her child?

She's hardly an older woman.

And believe me, we're
not allowing him, he's 18.

Stef: Oh, sorry. Found
the... air mattress.

Are we gonna meet this girlfriend

at your birthday party?

Actually, I'm not sure.

Brandon says she doesn't
think she'd be welcome.

- Perceptive girl.
- So you don't approve?

It's not that we don't
approve of her. We just...

don't approve of the situation,

but we don't want to push Brandon away.

Well, how much further can he get?

(sighs)

Actually, I was thinking you

should invite Cort to
the party, personally.

Me? Why me?

Because it's my 40th birthday party

and I'm pretty sure I'm
not the one she's afraid of.

Um, Dana, I really don't think

this is going to fit in here comfortably.

Sweetheart, just set it
up in the living room.

Stewart can sleep down there.

Stef: Okay.

(thud) Oh! Hold on. Okay.

Uh...

Mom.

Something going on with you and Daddy?

Turns out there's a
reason that your father

doesn't want to be alone
with me in a hotel room,

and it has nothing to do with spending
more time with his grandchildren.

He's having an affair.

What, piano lessons? Really?

Dang, you must be
desperate for money, huh?

Yeah, kinda.

Rent's coming up, and, of course,

divorce is gonna cost a ton, so...

- How much?
- 5,000 bucks.

Holy...

Yep.

Good thing that's not your problem, huh?

Yeah.

_

Okay, so I have some good news.

We got a C-STEM grant,

which means we now have enough money

to enter the regional
robotics competition.

Huh? How does that sound?

Now, we have a ton of building
and programming to do, but first

we have to figure out which
three of you will lead us

onto the field of battle,

as driver, strategist, and shooter.

Any takers?

Is this... we want this?

Yes, we want this.

No girls have ever
represented Anchor Beach

behind the glass. Just put your hand up.

Craig: ... a little friendly competition.

You have 24 hours to build a robot

that can pick up this block
and dump it into this basket.

The club will then vote for a winner

based on speed, design, and creativity.

You'll be working together
in teams of three, so...

choose wisely.

All right, good luck.

Right now.

Wow, didn't see that coming.

Wanna join us?

So,

this, uh, boyfriend of yours...

you don't talk about him very much.

Yeah, I'm not really the

type of girl to talk
about her boyfriend a lot.

I see,

but, uh... that's it?

It's not because he
doesn't actually exist?

No, he exists, trust me.

If you say so.

'Course, uh, some people

say Big Foot exists, but

I won't believe it until
I see it with my own eyes.

(buzzer sounds)

Guard: Go ahead.

Hey, Kyle.

God, it's been a long time, huh?

Hey, Callie.

You look good.

Thanks for coming to see me.

I don't get a lot of visitors,

except my mom.

And it's hard on her seeing me in here.

Of course.

I would have come sooner

if I had known.

Sorry, this is Aaron.

He works at the Juvenile Justice Center.

I'm an intern.

Oh, cool...

They take on cases like yours,

where a minor might not
have gotten a fair trial.

You... you think you can help me?

Uh, well, we got to find something

to get them to open the case back up.

We talked to your mom,

and she said that there was a witness,

an alibi witness, who your
lawyer never contacted.

Yeah, um...

Patrick Molloy.

He worked at the rec center.

That's where I was the afternoon
that Mrs. Johnson was killed.

You know I didn't do it, right?

I mean, I would never have hurt her.

She was always really nice to me.

I believe you.

(knocking) Hey, baby.

Hey! Daddy, what...

what are you doing here?

Well, I just needed to talk to you

without your mother around.

Got a minute?

Tristan: So, what did you get?

On my SAT? Uh, 1450.

Nice.

So, when are you taking the
test? Because I was thinking...

It's tomorrow.

Uh...

isn't that a little late for a tutor?

Well, yeah, but, you know, I was

kind of thinking that
you could take it for me.

Uh...

I... I'm sorry. I can't do that.

Look, I'll pay you.

A thousand bucks, cash.

So...

why didn't you sign in at
the rec center that day?

Kyle: I... I don't know.

I guess I just forgot.

But I was there.

It was raining, we were all inside.

I was watching the game with Patrick.

We were yelling at the refs,

'cause Griffin kept getting fouled

and they weren't calling it.

Do you know if he still works there?

I don't know.

I'm sure we can track him down.

You think if he

says I was there...

I might get a new trial?

Maybe.

Hey, I, uh... I brought you a book.

Uh, they said they'd give it to you.

Sideways Stories from
Wayside School, remember it?

Yeah. We loved that book.

I must have read it 10 times.

- Except Jude. Jude...
- Hated it, yeah.

- How is Jude?
- He's good.

- He's tall.
- No way.

- He's like taller than me now.
- Wow!

Guard: Time's up, Kyle.

I'll come see you again.

I won't be here.

I turn 18 next month, so...

they're moving me to Folsom Prison.

We'll talk to Molloy.

We'll find him.

Just... hang on, okay?

So, Dad is not having an affair.

Told ya.

He's been sneaking around

'cause he's putting together this video

for mom's retirement party.

Honest to God, made me want to cry.

He's got everyone sending
these little video clips

saying nice things about her.

Isn't that the sweetest
thing you ever heard?

Yeah, it is.

So, what do I do?

Do I tell her that's what he's been up to

so she stops acting so paranoid?

Well, kind of ruins the
surprise, doesn't it?

That's true.

Okay, I'm just going to stay out of it.

It's usually for the best where
my parents are concerned, anyway.

Did you know that many of
the British codebreakers

during World War II were women?

As were many of the
first NASA mathematicians

- and engineers.
- Seriously?

Not that you'd ever read about
them in the history books.

It's still a man's world.

Well, in STEM Club it is, anyway.

Which, my dears, is why you
need to kick those boys' asses.

Oh, we will, Gram.

Okay. So here's an idea.

Everyone else is gonna design their robots

to scoop up the blocks, right?

- Hey.
- Well,

what if we used these instead?

We could attach the zip ties to the pipes,

arrange them vertically, and
if we could program the pipes

- to spin around fast enough...
- It acts like a vacuum.

- We'd win for sure.
- That's kind of brilliant.

But no way the ties can lift the block.

What if you used these instead?

We don't need a boy's help.

Yeah, and how do you suppose
that we attach this around this?

Fine. So, uh, you wanna hang?

- I'm kind of busy here, Jesus.
- Yeah, boy toy, run along.

Hey...

Okay, we're making a
video for mama's party.

Like the party that's tomorrow?

Yes, and I need you to edit it for me.

Well, I can't.

And shouldn't you have
gotten on this like weeks ago?

Yes, Mariana, but I
just thought of it now.

Okay, well...

get Jude to do it.

Do what?

(Stef sighs)

Mama's birthday video.

I just need one of my
computer-savvy children

who loves me...

to help me put it
together. What do you say?

Okay.

- I can try.
- Really?

I've never edited anything, but...

I might know someone who can help.

- Yeah?
- Who?

Noah.

(knock on door)

Oh, hi. Brandon just left.

That's okay, I actually
wanted to talk to you,

if that would be all right.

Yeah, um, come in.

Um...

sorry.

- That's all right.
- We were just playing earlier.

How you doing?

Good. How are you?

I'm well, thanks.

I wanted to invite you
to Lena's birthday party.

It would mean a lot to her

and to me, of course, if you would come.

Um, so, it's a '70s theme party.

Don't know how quickly
you can get together

a pair of bellbottoms
on such short notice,

but it would be great if you could come.

Thank you. Yeah, um...

I'd love to come.

Great! Okay.

(cell phone rings)

Oh.

Sorry, this is work. Do you mind?

No, no, sure, no problem.

Hello? Hey.

_

Hi, are you Patrick Malloy?

Yes.

Hi, I'm Callie Adams Foster,

and this is Aaron Baker.

We talked to a friend of
yours at the rec center,

said we could find you here.

Okay.

We're friends of Kyle Snow.

- Do you remember him?
- Yeah.

He killed that lady, right?

He was found guilty,

but we don't think he
was given a fair trial.

Kyle says he was with
you at the rec center

on the day that Mrs. Johnson was murdered.

And you were watching a Clippers game.

Do you remember that?

Yeah, I do.

It was raining, so all
the kids were inside.

It was crazy.

But I...

I don't remember Kyle being there.

Are you sure?

He said that you were
complaining about the refs?

Sorry.

Would it have been possible for

a kid to be at the rec
center and forget to sign in?

Yeah, sure. I mean, if it was busy

and nobody noticed, that could happen.

Okay, thank you.

He was a nice kid.

I wish I could help.

Thanks.

Look, it was four years ago.

It's possible he just
doesn't remember seeing Kyle,

but it doesn't mean that he wasn't there.

I just really thought for a second...

I guess nothing's ever that simple.

Or fair.

Well, maybe there's something else.

Another hole in the case.

- Listen, you don't have to do this.
- Maybe I want to.

I really do have a boyfriend.

Okay.

I really do want to help.

I've been in juvie twice.

It was pretty awful.

But Folsom, it's gotta be hell.

Just don't know if he'll make it.

(car alarm chirps)

Yuccch.

What can I say about Lena? She's perfect.

And it's weird because
that is usually something

I hate in a person.

- I mean, really, what's more ho...
- (keyboard clicks)

Noah: She's a trip.

You have no idea.

Okay, so you move the cursor
to where you want the cut

and then you can dissolve
or fade or whatever.

Hey, thanks for showing me all this.

No problem.

I do this kind of stuff
for my church all the time.

(Taylor gasps)

- What?
- Nothing.

No, what?

I was online and...

I saw that Connor's in San Diego.

Did he tell you he's coming?

Who's Connor?

He's, uh, my ex... boyfriend.

He moved to L.A., so we broke up.

Hey, did you find something strong enough

to lift your cube with?

(sighs) No, we're trying something else.

What if you don't have to?

I figured why go around the pipe

if you could go through it?

19 seconds. That's the time to beat.

You're next.

- Boy: What?
- You've got to be kidding me.

We got this.

You ready?

Oh-ho-ho! Nine
seconds. That's great.

I'm sorry, did you say something earlier?

I didn't think so.

Yeah.

- Name?
- Tristan Chacones.

Good luck.

Thank you.

So, I've tallied all the votes,

combined that with the
points earned for speed,

and... we have a winner.

Aiden, Dan, and Jeffrey.

Um, our robot completed the
task in less than half the time,

and it couldn't have done that
without the superior design

and creativity.

True, but those are
subjective assessments.

Maybe, but ours was also autonomous.

Penny: That's worth double
the points in competition.

If Anchor Beach is gonna
beat these bigger schools,

we can't do it with the same designs

and same old strategies.

We've gotta be different.

Uh...

You know what?

You're right.

And I apologize.

I'm overturning the club's decision.

- Boy: Are you serious?
- Craig: Look, I get it,

but you should have voted
for them in the first place,

- and you know that.
- Mariana: Oh, my God!

Congratulations.

(giggling) Really?

Way to play the girl card.

Brandon?

Hey! Brandon!

(wolf whistle)

Damn! Oh, my God.

Come here. Gimme some sugar.

Oh, watch the lips.

That lipstick took me a
half-hour, believe it or not.

- Oh, come on now.
- (telephone rings)

- Oh, will you get that?
- Yeah.

Hello.

Uh, no, I don't think so.

Honey, did you order a house appraisal?

Stef: No. Why would I
get our house appraised?

Uh, sorry, I think there
must be some mistake.

Oh, uh, probably my fault.

Uh, we'll have to call you back.

(nervous laugh)

You're getting our house appraised?

I completely forgot to
mention it. My apology.

Dana and I are switching
financial advisors,

and we're restructuring our trust

and putting all our ducks in a row,

- for retirement, you know.
- Okay.

And this new guy, he wants a complete list

of all of our assets and our obligations

and that includes the house,

because I'm co-borrower on the loan,

so he's probably just
being overly thorough,

that's all.

(disco music plays)

Whoa!

Stop it. Where is the bar?

Eh...

Oh, okay, I'm not gonna lie.

I kind of can't wait for
my mom to eat a little crow

when she finds out why my
dad's been acting so weird.

I'm just confused. Why would
he list our house as an asset?

Uh, I guess because technically it is.

Well...

(disco music plays)

- You like?
- I love!

You didn't have to do all this.

You only turn 40 once, baby.

(chuckles)

Mr. Saturday Night Fever himself!

Look at that!

Ironic, given the fact
that I don't really dance.

Hey, I get one birthday wish,

and it's to see you do the Hustle.

Well, that's sad, but for you, I'll do it.

Stef: Be careful what you
wish for 'cause I've seen it.

You invited Gabe?

Yeah, he's been here all week working,

so Lena thought it would
be nice to invite him.

You know?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Don't get to the gym much, huh?

So that's why he didn't
tell me he was in San Diego.

He came with his new boyfriend.

Gross.

The least he could have done is told me

instead of letting me find out like this.

- Hey, you made it.
- Of course.

All right, cuteness overload.

You two, get together.

Come on.

- (phone camera clicks)
- (disco music continues)

Wow!

(chuckles)

Really? It's not too...

- Debbie Harry?
- I have no idea who that is.

All I know is I like what I see.

Back atcha, stud.

Did you hear that we beat
the boys in STEM today?

Yeah, Mariana practically
called a press conference.

Well, we couldn't have
done it without your help.

Perhaps I could do a
little something for you.

You know, to thank you?

Hmm.

Yeah, yeah, I can probably
think of something.

And also, maybe,

I could start tutoring you again.

Wait, what?

So you can get a head start for the SATs.

(new disco song starts)

- Hey.
- Hi.

I don't want this to be weird.

I mean, it's not weird for me.

No, I totally agree. It
doesn't have to be weird at all.

So...

You seeing anybody?

Uh, yeah, I'm dating.

Oh, hell no!

It's my ex,

with some barely pubescent girlfriend.

(scoffs) Excuse me.

No, no, no, no!

I'm not gonna be the only
people on the dance floor.

Come on, look.

I've been watching those old
Soul Train videos on YouTube.

Have you?

- Let me show you what I got.
- Brandon: Hey, guys.

(chuckles)

What?

(clears throat) No, it's a nice perm.

Oh, he's Greg Brady.

It was her idea.

Who's Greg Brady?

- Hey, uh, be right back.
- Okay.

Uh, excuse me.

Hey, so I just wanted to thank you

for inviting Cort.

It meant a lot to her.

And me.

Of course, yeah.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go
tell Mama happy birthday.

Bye.

Okay, so why don't you like her?

She seems nice enough, I guess.

She's taken advantage of him.

How so?

(sighs)

Lena doesn't know this and I didn't
want to ruin her party, but...

she's...

He's using his money to pay her bills.

What bills?

So, thank you for inviting all of my exes.

I thought I was the one
who got you in the divorce.

Sorry.

Hey, how'd it go today? The SATs.

I saw you when I was picking up Garrett.

Uh, yeah,

I think it went pretty well.

You took the SATs today?

Uh, yeah, um...

You know, I just wanted to take it again

and see if I could improve my scores.

God, I practically had to bribe Garrett

to get him to take it
even once. All rightie.

Mmm!

I am going to go get a refill.

Uh, anyone?

Okay.

(disco music continues)

Hey.

Um... uh, nice get-up.

Oh, no, we're having a costume party

- for my mom's birthday.
- Oh, sorry, I can leave.

No, I was actually trying
to stay off the dance floor,

so come in.

(disco music in distance)

(closes door) So, what's up?

Kyle's lawyer did speak to Patrick Molloy.

Four years ago.

These are his notes.

Molloy said he remembered
seeing Kyle at the rec center

on March 23rd 'cause

they were watching the
Clippers-Warriors game together,

just like Kyle said.

Wha... where did you find this?

Remember Sheila told
us that she had all of

Kyle's old files in the garage?

I did a little digging
through them, and there it was.

Oh, my God, thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

(AJ clears throat)

Hey, um...

AJ, this is Aaron. Aaron,
this is AJ, my boyfriend.

Hey.

So you do exist.

Look at them. God.

She does know Little Miss Stripy Pants

only makes her look older, doesn't she?

I don't get it.

Yeah, I'm actually gonna go...

Ooh! Now, that, on the other hand, mm!

If I weren't gay, I'd
climb him like a jungle gym.

You coming?

Uh, nah, I'm gonna sit this one out.

Mm, not me.

Mom, come dance with me and Daddy.

He can't ask me himself?

(sighs)

This is silly.

Mom, Dad is not having an affair.

He's just busy with retirement

and restructuring the trust

and getting a new business manager.

There's a lot on his plate.

What new business manager?
What are you talking about?

He didn't tell me anything about all that.

So, you're doing okay,

after everything that happened with Nick?

Yeah, uh, I'm fine. I just...

I kind of wish people
would stop asking me.

Okay, good.

But you and Mat, you're
back together, right?

Where is he?

We are. Uh, college tour.

Ah.

Speaking of getting back together...

did you ever think maybe...

you and Gabe?

'Cause I mean it would
kind of be crazy romantic.

Don't let Mike hear you say that.

Why?

Oh, my God, are...

you and Mike like "a thing"?

Maybe?

Oh, is that okay?

Yeah, of course, I love Mike.

Me too.

You're in love.

I haven't told him yet.

Our secret, I promise.

(both chuckling)

(disco jazz plays)

♪ Get down with the beat! ♪

_

Hello. You must be Cortney.

I'm Brandon's grandmother, Dana Adams.

Oh, it's so nice to meet you, Mrs. Adams.

- I've heard so much about you.
- Really?

And all I know about you is that

you're a young married mother

allowing your
high-school-age boyfriend

to pay for your divorce.

You don't think it's a little weird

that my mom didn't know
anything about my dad

getting them a new business manager?

(Stef sighs) I don't know, love.

Maybe he's the one that
handles the finances.

Jenna: That's what Kelly did.

Right before she left me.

She started moving money
around and hiding it.

If I were paying more attention,

I would have known she
was gonna divorce me.

Hey, why aren't you dancing?

I don't know.

Just too dumb, I guess.

So, how could Molloy forget

giving this statement to Kyle's lawyer?

Aaron: Maybe he didn't.

Maybe he changed his story.

- Why would he do that?
- Could be anything.

Maybe he was being intimidated by someone.

- Like who?
- Aaron: I don't know. A prosecutor?

Or maybe he was protecting someone.

Like if he had something to hide.

All right, you young
people, I know that the '70s

is probably just a chapter
in your history books,

but the dance floor
beckons, huh, let's go!

Don't have to tell me twice.
I'll see you out there.

Yeah, I'll be out in a second.

Stef: And who is this?

I'm Aaron, Mrs. Adams Foster.

Oh, Aaron who took my daughter for a ride

on his motorcycle Aaron.

Yeah.

Um, we were just looking at
a few of Kyle's case files,

and we found this guy, this
witness, who changed his story.

Do you think you could check
him out, see if he has a record?

Sure. When it's not
Mama's birthday, all right?

You're welcome to stay, Aaron.

Oh, thanks, but I
should probably head out.

Okay.

Sorry.

I can't believe you didn't tell me.

What?

So, what are we calling you guys?

Judah?

Maybe Juno?

Um... Juno?

Well, if you're changing
your relationship status,

you've got to come up
with a couple name, right?

Uh...

Are you cheating on Mom?

What? No!

Then why does she think you are?

Are you planning on leaving her?

Why doesn't she know about
the new business manager, Dad?

What are you two talking about?

Dana, honey, I'm not cheating on you.

- Who said you were?
- Mom.

Okay, there is something that
I've been keeping from you.

Both of you.

Are you okay, Dad?

Noah, please, don't go.

Look, I don't know what's
going on with you and your ex,

but, dude, leave me out of it.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't want him to think
I was sitting around and...

crying about him or something.

I get wanting to make him feel jealous.

But I hate social media.

Why?

A lot of people don't like the fact

that a minister's son is openly gay.

And they tell me about it.

I'll take it down, okay?

I didn't mean to...

And if you're gonna go
around and tell everyone

we're like boyfriends or whatever...

you should at least ask me out first.

I... should?

Um...

(clears throat)

Okay, um...

would you like to go out sometime?

That's better.

I have some tax issues with the IRS.

I owe some money.

Wait, Dad.

Why am I just finding this out now?

I didn't wanna worry you, honey.

You're not just talking about
your money, it's our money.

Yes, I know perfectly well, Dana,

but they were my mistakes.

I wanted to find a solution,

so we both didn't have to stress out.

- How much do we owe?
- Nothing I can't handle.

That's why I wanted an
appraisal of the house.

I know you and Stef must
have some equity in it by now.

I can take out a line of credit
and pay it off, no problem.

Except Stef and I already took
out a line of credit on the house.

What for?

What?

The adoption fees for Callie and Jude.

House repairs, the remodel.

Day-to-day stuff
with five kids, Dad.

- Oh, my God, Stewart.
- No, please, baby, don't worry!

Stop telling me not to worry.

We have a lot of options.

I got us into this mess, I can get us out.

All right?

Last thing I wanted to
do was ruin you party.

Stef: Okay, if everybody
could gather around, please.

Everybody. Got a little surprise

for the birthday girl, wherever she is.

Hi, my love.

Uh...

Wow, 40. You're in your 40s.

You can tell me what that's
like maybe a little bit later.

Um...

So, in honor of this
totally arbitrary milestone,

your friends and family have
put together a bit of a tribute

to show you just how
much you mean to them.

(soft music plays)

(soft laughter)

Both: Happy birthday, Mama. We love you.

Are you seriously 40? That is

- crazy old.
- Mariana: Hey,

- don't be rude!
- Jesus: What?

(chuckles)

Hey, you okay?

Did you tell your grandmother
you paid for my lawyer?

No. Why?

Callie: Um...

You and Stef gave us

the greatest gift when you adopted us,

so what can we give you
that even comes close?

So we got you pot holders!

Callie: Spoiler alert!

- We hope you like 'em.
- Callie: Yeah, you're welcome, Mama.

- Callie: Happy birthday!
- Jude: We love you.

Think anyone would notice if we
went upstairs for a little bit?

It's my mom's party. I don't
really feel like leaving, so...

Maybe later?

I don't think so.

Matter of fact, I don't think this whole

"friends with benefits"
thing is working out for me.

So...

I had no idea what I was
going to say, so I will say,

I love you very much. You're 40.

- And I am so lucky to have you guys...
- (doorbell rings)

... in my life. Happy birthday.

Stewart: Okay? We on?

- Dana: Happy birthday, my love.
- Stewart: Hey, darlin'.

It was 40 years ago in
that, oh, cramped little

birthing room at Sharp Memorial,

when you grabbed my thumb

with your tiny little hand, and

I just felt a love I didn't
even know existed, baby.

Stewart: You know, you'll always,

for me and your mom, always be that

tiny little baby.

I'm just glad I don't have
to comb your hair anymore.

(laughter)

- Stewart: We love you, sweetie.
- Dana: We love you, baby.

Happy birthday.

(Stef sighs)

Jesus: Mom?

- Mom, the cops are here.
- Stef: What?

Can I help you?

Officer: We're looking
for a Lena Adams Foster.

Uh, that's me.

Mrs. Adams Foster, you're under arrest...

- What?
- ... for being way too hot.

- Jenna: Yes!
- Oh, my...

Oh, thank you, thank
you! Now this is a party!

A party! Whoo!

Go, ladies. Go, ladies.

(cheering)

(dance music playing)

Oh, yes!

Make it rain!

Ladies, make it rain!

Whoo! Oh, God help me!

Go, ladies!

Come on!

Make it rain for Mama. Come on, whoo!

Go!

Oh, God help me! Go! Whoo!

(seventies slow jazz plays)

Hey, uh... we're gonna go,

but I wanna say happy birthday.

Oh, thank you, honey!

Ugh! I'll be right back.

Okay.

So, how does Grandma know that I'm loaning

Cort money for her divorce?

'Cause I told her.

Uh-huh. And how do you know?

When I was at the apartment, yesterday,

your checkbook was sitting on the table,

so I looked at it.

You had no right to do that.

True.

It's my money.

It was.
