The Fosters | Season 5, Episode 2: Callie Has An Emotional Talk With Her Family | Freeform

[@leilanimartinez8903]

“We don’t want you to throw away your past Callie. We just want you to stop repeating it.”

[@lizziefaith]

"You are not disposable." One of the most powerful lines ever written on television. I feel like thats somethinf every foster child, every child in a loving home, just everyone needs to hear that said to them atleast once because people do need to understand that they are not disposable. They can't be thrown away, they can't be discarded like a empty can of soda. They have meaning, and a purpose in life. Whether they know what that purpose is or if they are still searching for it. People matter. To whoever is reading this, you are not disposable. You have a purpose, and a voice, and you are not alone. You cannot be thrown out like garbage and you cannot be replaced. You matter. I am here for you, Im proud of you, and I love you. You are enough. But most importantly, *You are not disposable*

It takes time to get over past . Callie was abused and told she was worthless it hard to trust and switch gears . She had to be the mother figure to Jude all his life until he got with Stef and Lena . Callie only flaw is she needs to learn to value herself and make better choices to help people in need . Until you are in Callie shoes you shouldn't judge .

And processing trauma takes time. Your brain doesn't do it until it feels safe enough too. Which can be YEARS after the fact. I've been in a couple bad spots and had some debilitating injuries that I'm still recovering from physically. I haven't even really started to process everything emotionally cuz it all happened in the span of a few years. My brain hasn't had time to catch up yet. Callie went through a ton more trauma over a lot more of her life. The fact that she feels safe enough with Lena and Steph TO act out is proof that she's starting to deal with her shit. But that takes time and is hard. And will probably take her well through the next series and hit her at random times. And she'll be in a good place for a while and then all of a sudden she won't be cuz her brain will be like "oh, you're safe now? Ok, time to deal with getting assaulted/arrested/friend almost getting deported/abandonment issues/brother getting abused/etc

[@CapricornGilbert]

It definitely sucks what she has been through, yes. She lost her mother, she's been sent to many different homes, she was groomed at 15 yet she was able to get past all the bad stuff that's happened, but I will say there were definitely a lot that she caused on her own she brought upon herself. I definitely feel sorry for her but Stef and Lena had a point that it was time for her to stop dwelling through everything she had to cope with as she was able to change things around as she was able to get justice and find her way to a much better life.

[@Rymar101]

For those who are giving Callie a hard time, give her a break. She's been through so much. She lost a parent, got raped by her foster brother, got blamed for being raped by him, got thrown around from one foster home to another, got treated like she's worthless, then found out the man who she thought was her father isn't even her father, and didn't even know about her and her brother who she had to basically raise is actually her half brother. When you get treated like your worthless, you begin to believe you are. Callie felt like she had so much responsibility and weight on her shoulders

Yes and no because Callie is a good person yet she’s also not perfect as she isn’t always innocent. She plays the victim card too much especially whenever she has done something wrong she runs away from it.

I absolutely loved this scene. 💙 Such a great callback to the pilot, and such a display of love. What Callie has been through in her life I'm sure makes it so hard to trsut permanence and to value herself, and I love that Stef and Lena are a constant and keep showing her love and support in hopes that she'll be able to move forward. So beautiful.

Thattallnerdybean Stef and Lena have always been there for Callie when she needed help like when they helped her with the Hole Liam situation they always know what's best for Callie Nd they have always had her back from day 1 And the Close relationship and bond that she has with Stef I think also really helps her allot since there allot alike they always have her best interest at heart

i miss watching those mama sandwiches, The Fosters was a great show, i loved watching everyone's journey, i love the strong, independent woman Callie and Mariana have grown into also, I love these strong, amazing gentleman they raised Jude, Brandon and Jesus, i love that they may not share the same dna, but they still love each other very much and i like that's how Stef and Lena made everyone feel with their characters, you don't need dna to love someone, you can care for someone truly and deeply to create an unconditional love and amazing family filled with love and hope, I love The Fosters, it's amazing show they touched on immigration, being gay/the support these teens need when they go thru those changes also being transgender or being bisexual, they will love you no matter what, also foster homes, rape, drug use, cancer, abusive relationship, it was a phenomenal show i can't believe it ended

[@harleighcutting6237]

"That's not what I meant." "But it's what you said." This. Especially considering Callie's past, vague phrases like, "this girl is unacceptable" could so easily be misunderstood to mean, "you are unacceptable" or "I don't accept you." I'm sure that logically, Callie knew Stef was referencing Russell, but did the side of Callie that spent 6 years hearing very similar things from abusive families know that?

[@ricardomorales8969]

What girl is not acceptable?

[@andrewalston2771]

The main reason that made this such a good show was tackling the topic of foster care and the failure of the foster system The main reason I related to this show was that I was a foster child in a home with foster parents who were horrible to me but not their kids and if I’m not mistaken I think I was in two foster homes

I really dont understand why people dislike Callie so much. People say that she gets in trouble way too much and that shes a bad person. But Callie only gets in trouble so much because shes thinking of the people she loved first before herself. Callie isnt a bad person, shes just someone trying to do the right thing but going about it the wrong way. Callie is a really good person. Shes a great sister, a great person, and a great mother figure. Callie has been through so much crap and is still so successful in life. She got through school, went to law school, and became a lawyer. So until youve been through as much as Callie, cut the girl some slack and shut up because you have nothing bad to say about her.

[@AlexMachadoTV]

To all of you writing the worst about Callie... It will take her time to grow up (her character). She's been through a lot, those things affect you and it is not easy to set it back and just forget about it. Also, the show is written in a way where even though she might "get better" in the future or takes more time to care for herself, there will always be these "what's wrong with you Callie" moments. The show is written the way the writers want to portray the story... for themselves... not for you. And they're making their millions so your opinion doesn't matter... not anymore.

[@WenzelSays]

^^ Trauma takes time to heal from. And your brain often won't let you process it until it feels safe enough to do so. Often year's after the initial incident. The fact that Callie subconsciously feels safe enough to act out is a good thing. Or at least a sign that she's starting to process her past trauma. And that process can take years. especially with how much of her childhood is wrapped up in it.

My fav scene from the episode

[@hawaiianbabe927]

Why is everyone hating on Callie so much? Was what she did stupid? Yes monumentally so but her intentions were coming from a good place. She was just trying to help her friend and she knew that Stef would find her no matter what. And one other thing, I don't understand why everyone is all "poor Robert." I understand that he just wants a relationship with her but the relationship he expects to have is illogical. Yes he is her biological father but Stef and Lena are her parents, they are the ones she loves and trusts. And I completely understand why she thought that Robert used his money and status to get her into art school, I know that's not what he actually did but it definitely looked like it.

[@Megz1794]

@hawaiianbabe927:right! Like Robert is in another dimension in his relationship with Callie. Like if Callie wanted anything from Robert especially for art school she would have just asked him for his help it didn’t seem like she needed his help getting into art school since she didn’t ask for his help. Plus look at how Sophia turned out because Sophia also has Robert as a birthdad the dude ain’t even the greatest dad to Sophia half the time yes he tries with Callie and Sophia but he’s also in like another dimension half the time. Plus Robert uses his money way too much anyway so him helping Callie get into art school without her asking him would be a mistake he would totally make if Callie had lived with him her whole entire life. Like people fail to realize Robert has his own fair share issues he can’t even properly father Sophia half the time let alone be a father to Callie.

[@Originella]

Wow. If I were Robert, I'd straight up send Callie a letter and tell her, "Look, I've tried everything, but you obviously don't want me in your life. I am done trying. If you change your mind, great. If not, don't write back." If I were him, I'd be sick and tired of putting myself out there. I've felt like him so many times (granted, I'm only a few years older than Callie and not a parent yet) but still, it's so heartbreaking that she's allowed to get away with this behavior and be rewarded for it...

[@Maret83]

He is not her parent. All she just wanted from him in the first place was his signature so she could get adopted. He forced her to stay in touch with her. He is not a bad guy, but you can't except that Callie sees him the same way she sees her mums.

[@acecentral3707]

Originella I agree with maret83 she just needs time and she was in foster most of her life and didn't think that he cared for her but now he's here and she already has her parents, but he's in her life now and content, but also see that he knows in that last scene that he'll never be her parents but he's in her life

[@Originella]

Maret83 don't presume to know my opinions on Callie, thank you very much. I don't expect Callie to consider Robert the same way as she does Stef and Lena. However, he has said that he is not her parent, yet Callie does seem to want a relationship with him. If she hadn't, she would have said so -- she hasn't. Once he signed the papers, she seemed all right with having him in her life.

[@razmataz13drums]

he's not tried everything. As a parent you dont give up, and you wonder why Callie constantly believes that one day it'll be too much to cope with and she'll be left alone..? I mean you cant really comment on Robert as a dad, he's barely been in the show since season 2 or whatever, how are we to know what they're relationship is like between episodes? And anyway a guy you've known for a year, even if its not his fault would be hard to accept as a dad

[@caitlinkillarney2242]

Originella I still feel like he's up to no good I have a feeling he went way to far this time and he did pay the school and the only reason why he's saying no is because Stef and Lena were right there in front of him I mostly want to see Gabe and Anna helping out allot more with Jesus and Mariana

Isabella C That is unfortunate, but at this point, Callie has no excuses. She needs to grow up.

[@mayaeveileb8512]

Have you not noticed that most of her getting in trouble was for other people? I think it's not just learning that she has value but learning that it's okay to put you're life and safety before someone else's. I think she spent too long feeling like a victim and really believing that it didn't matter if she died. Callie clearly had issues before she came to the Fosters and although she's been helped so much, so much was also dug back up at the same time. I'd be nice to see her have a real sit down with someone or herself about why she does it and just really come to terms with everything because she doesn't get to stop and breath.

Maya Eveileb No, I've noticed that she did everything for other people. Doesn't make her not careless.

Everyone struggles in life.

[@miraaa1382]

Bc u Don understand research it and try to understand she's been thru a lot even though she got adopted she still needs time to heal you can't deal fast after getting adopted it takes awhile

[@tatumlavena6545]

angelcreature13 well she was in multiple fosters homes many of which were abusing and she was raped in one and sfter bad event after bad event you start to get trust issues. And she tries not to ket herself feel that pain again so she just tries to tell herself that this family is not permeant. In a way she takes things from herself. And trust issues is not really something that just kinda goes away. I mean if you have trust issues you are most likely going to have them for a while if not a while for your whole life.

[@Megz1794]

@shipsandfanfics:yeah so maybe she would have treated Robert a lot more better if he would have signed her adoption papers for Stef and Lena when Callie asked him to sign the fricken adoption papers rather than trying to ruin her adoption because of his younger selfish daughter’s needs to have a half sister in the household when Callie didn’t even want to live with Robert to begin with when Callie wanted to be adopted by Stef and Lena. Instead Robert choose to complicate things because of Sophia and his own needs to get to Callie rather than letting Callie be adopted by Stef and Lena for the get go and then just asking to see Callie and getting to be in her life without being the main parent figure in her life since he didn’t know about his ex being pregnant with Callie and he left his ex when his dad asked him too. Plus Robert can still get to know Callie even if she’s not living with him. Adoptive kids can get to know their birth parents who don’t live with them. But instead of letting Callie be adopted and seeing her when Stef and Lena approve of it he decided to almost ruin her adoption all because of his own needs and Sophia’s needs. He even acknowledges in season 5 that’s he’s not Callie’s parent Because she has Stef and Lena when he could have acknowledge that right away in season 2 of the fosters by letting Callie be adopted by Stef and Lena and then just inviting Callie to his house with Stef and Lena’s approval or asking to visit her at Stef and Lena’s house. Or at least sending her cards…etc… rather than having unrealistic expectations of his relationship with Callie

[@corysanon7084]

What Happened to her dad? They never discussed that in Good Trouble.

[@jeffpro8]

No one knows. Maybe they keep in touch. 🤷

[@Megz1794]

@@jeffpro8:I think they still keep in touch just most likely when she actually needs something from him rather than him trying to butt in on her life as a parent when she’s adult. Plus I feel like they kept in touch since he was at her graduation in Season 5 of the fosters. I just feel like she goes to her dad when she actually needs help rather than Robert trying to force Callie to come to him since she should go to him on her own especially as an adult. Iam sure he gets like holiday visits off screen. While Stef and Lena are her main family. Robert would mainly be like the other coparent opposite of Stef,Lena and Donald.

[@samanthashigemitsu4687]

I understand that Callie has been through a lot, but I feel like everytime she is getting in trouble for something that she did, she finds a way to make them feel bad for her and comfort her

duudee that’s the guy from Dawson’s Creek!

[@taliaatallah2296]

It's so weird watching Dawson’s Creek and now seeing Jack on this show

[@TeyonaMiller]

The writers definitely weighed the show down too much with drama and it all rode on the back of Callie. This isn't a crime drama - it's a family drama. Most kids don't go through the stuff they went through. I can see them throwing in those heavy storylines bits at a time but to have them happen one after the other CONSTANTLY? They got away from what I liked about the show: love and positivity. Watching the show started to frustrate and bum me out it was so dark all the time.

[@ebbandflowph]

Same. Between the kids' typical teen drama, Callie, Mariana, and Jesus' pasts chasing after them, and Stef and Lena's own issues, I had to pause this show for a while. I think I'm ready to get back into it, though.

[@razmataz13drums]

agreed. some of the callie stuff i understand because its connected to her fragile state of being in the foster system. But a lot of it is just pure melodrama that is so over the top- Stef's cancer, car crash, gun at school then being stalked in home, brain injuries, biological family staying in your home... and not to mention the most unbelievable thing- that Brandon is able to get hot girlfriend after hot girlfriend, HOW? :P but yeah i liked the first couple of seasons, but the show is getting a bit insane and has drifted further and further away from those core values. When was the last time any of the siblings even had a conversation with another. Has Callie and jesus ever had any dialogue between them..?

[@logan-vp6ey]

i like callie but she self destructs a lot

[@eviecarson5832]

I don't know why but Callie reminds me of Hailee Steinfeld

[@caitlinkillarney2242]

If you all want to play who's the better parent to Callie since the begging of the series Stef and Callie have formed a mother daughter bond despite everything that Callie has went though Stef was always right there beside her helping her and comforting her and has her best interest at heart Then when Callie thought that Donald was her and Jude's dad it turned out that he wasn't Callie's dad that had a had a huge affect on her and Jude Jude didn't want to get adopted without her and he eventually stoped talking for awhile but Callie told him that she would be ok and she wanted him to be Officially Adopted and it took a really long time for the Fosters to officially adopt Callie cause Robert had to sue for Custody and didn't care what Callie wanted he just thought of himself and did everything he could to take Callie away from her family and where she felt more Secure the only reason he dropped the Coustdy battle is because he didn't want to be like his father and tear apart a family

[@Megz1794]

@caitlinkillarney2242:I think that’s because the adoption agency didn’t know Callie and Jude had different fathers and Donald probably felt like it wasn’t his place to tell the adoption agency that Callie had a different dad I Mean there’s like multiple ways the adoption agency could have figured that out back in like season 1 of the show with Donald’s help and for Callie to have find out a lot more sooner but for some reason the adoption agency didn’t decide to find out if Callie had a different dad or at least they were maybe being respectful to her by digging that far into the past since Robert being in her life just caused her problems than it really techincally solved

[@mermaidtale1]

Callie just needs to get her ish together.

[@razmataz13drums]

for all those only annoyed at Callie, im frustrated with Stef. I know she's trying her hardest and that is important, but no wonder none of her kids go to her about anything when she's so hot headed and doesnt listen to anyone. Obviously Callie is very similar in this respect, but she's not the parent

[@nialanaransom9708]

So was that the last time she saw her dad

Getting really tired of Callie all she does is mess up and thinks her parents don't want her anymore they will do anything for her how has she not understood that yet

[@nicolejones7903]

Breee Cannon would u be able to forget about all the abuse if u were abused? U gotta understand that u don't forget about being abused or raped & it takes a long ass time to heal & recover from abuse. I'm a domestic violence survivor & a rape survivor & a child abuse survivor & I'm still healing & recovering from it all . Helping others isn't called messing up. She's doing what others couldn't do for her when she was being abused so stop judging her for wanting to help others. Picture that being someone that u loved being abused & having other bad things happening to them & nobody helped them . Don't judge what u don't understand. Unless you've been where she's been then hush ur mouth up.

aw you guys im near the end of the second season and i took a lil peak on wikia or something and saw robert wasnt going to be on the show much in the upcoming seasons im so upset hes so great i want to see more of his relationship with callie and sophia :(

[@Megz1794]

@hilalkocak6964:he is still in the series just not as much since he most likely left Callie’s mom when her mom was pregnant because he didn’t want the pressure of being a dad at a young age or something like that and a parent doesn’t live their child. The dude somehow has 2 different families and 2 Kids/2 daughters plus he also cheats on Sophia’s mom with a younger woman. Also Callie doesn’t what to See Sophia anymore after what Sophia did Callie even says So in season 2 epsoide 12 after the way Sophia treated Jude most likely. Plus Sophia stops being on the show while Robert stays on the show and gets shorter story lines in season 5 of the show. So I think Robert’s actor was just busy doing other projects and couldn’t be on the show as much After Season 2.

[@Megz1794]

@hilalkocak6964:because Robert does eventually stopping being on the show by the time the spin off series good trouble ends up being a series he does get to see Callie graduate from high school first though

I say this Robert is trying to be a good dad but he thinks money can always fix everything my thing with Callie I get where she coming from but also think she been with this family for awhile I would think she be able to breathe and realize they never going to turn their back on her but she also have to realize her actions not only effect her but the people who around her also I mean Stef was going out her mind trying to found her and they afraid next time they won't be there in time to help her

[@CapricornGilbert]

I really wish Callie would have gave Robert a chance. I know he's missed out on everything in her life knowing he had no idea she existed and he is really wanting to do so much as he can for her as he is her father and it is sad she wants nothing to do with him. I know he tried to fight for full custody of wanting her and at the same time he had every right because he was indeed the only real family she had, and I know Robert would've done so much for her as she wouldn't have to worry about anything. I know she didn't like the idea of him being rich and knowing he had money he made sure he would be able to provide for his family as he was able to make things happen that he worked for which is something many would also do to raise their kids in a good stable environment. Stef and Lena really did a wonderful job taking care of her and Jude along with Brandon, Jesus and Mariana as they really were good people with loving hearts as they made sure she would be kept safe and protected knowing how much she has been through. Callie was pushing Robert out of her life and he was trying to his best to make up for so many lost times which is something a real father who doesn't know his child is willing to do as he showed he cared for her deeply and she still treated him like nothing.

[@lukewaltertinsdalemiller7130]

I feel so bad for Robert, he's tried so hard for his trash bag daughter and gets nothing in return. He really should have sued her 'parents' for custody.

There's really nothing he can do at this point since she's Officially Adopted now and has given up his rights and Stef and Lean wont let anyone take away there daughter

[@samaubuchon2723]

I don't know if I'm the only one but I'm so frustrated that Callie won't live with Robert and Sophia

[@lauraschoenborn3544]

I think she should have moved in with him. As a social worker I thing this is one thing the show messed up on. All CPS social workers severing the biological tie is rarely the best option. Robert loved Callie, and she should have gone to live with him. I'm all for adoption but when the biological parents feel they can't be the best parents. Robert wanted Callie, she should have gone to live with him.
