In the episode of The Foster Brandon considered to move in with his father Mike. Jesus began to date Lexi, but it displeased Mariana. Also a school assignment forced Callie to recall her dark past.
Jesus was still in trouble for the pill issue, and Lena was on his case to do his school work and perform. Mariana was also on Jesus' case about his constant interactions with Lexi. Lena also was helping Jude study for his proficiency exam, so that he could stay in the same school as all the kids. Brandon approached his mother Stef while Lena was tutoring Jude, and explained that he was interested in living his father. Stef refused to allow Brandon to live with his father, which started an argument. Brandon stormed out of the house because his mother was being unreasonable and he believed that she doesn't allow anyone to challenger her.
Meanwhile, Marianna was explaining to Callie in their room that she was selling the pills for her birth mother. Brandon eventually returned and Stef allowed him to make his own decision about where he wanted to live. Jesus confronted Brandon after his conversation with Stef and talked about the decision with Brandon. Jesus wished him luck and understood that making a decision for himself was important.
Next day Callie was in class and couldn't think of what to write for her assignment. The teacher suggested her and another student stay after school with him to find inspiration. Stef and Mike were on the job when Stef reprimanded him for blindsiding her. Mike explained to Stef that it was not about revenge against her, rather it was about regret. He expressed that he has grown as a person and wants to do something right for once.
Callie also sat down with Brandon to make sure that he wasn't thinking of moving out because of her and Jude. Brandon assured her his decision was about him being where he felt he belonged. Marianna finally thanked Jesus for taking the blame for the pill selling. Jesus after leaving his sister saw Lexi and admired her from a far. He was suppose to meet her but he backed out because of Mariana.The two eventually caught up on the beach and Jesus explained he thought they should not continue their courtship because of Mariana. Callie and the other student with the help of their teacher eventually began writing the assignment. Mike also came over to the house to grab Brandon for dinner. Callie was continuing her writing in her and Marianna room.
While Brandon and his father Mike were making dinner, Brandon began to realize things about his father, like his father had a sort of artistic side when he saw a model navy ship. The two were watching TV and Brandon told his father he wanted to stay longer and would text his mother for permission.
Lena arranged a game night for the family, and Brandon's girlfriend Talya showed up. Talya was again passive-aggressive with Callie. During the game Brandon strolled in and told everyone he was going to move in with his father. Stef on the verge of tears left the table under the pretense of getting more tea.
As Brandon was packing up to leave, Callie went to return his guitar and Brandon explained it was a gift. Callie and Brandon seemed to have some sexual tension. Jesus went to talk to Brandon as he packed, and he explained the truth about the pills. As Jesus talking to Brandon, Callie accused Marianna of reading her journal assignment. Lena intervened during the argument. Callie told Lena she should get to know her daughter better. Jude confronted his sister and told her to get alone with Marianna. Callie was silent, and Jude deduced that Liam was the subject of the journal. Callie once at school ripped the pages of the journal out and put them in a trash bin, her peer did the same. At the same time Jude handed in his test to Lena. Lena was grading it and realized Jude wasn't going to pass, and changed an answer to be right so he would pass with a grade 65. Then the episode changed to Lexi and Jesus who were embracing each other in the bathroom and kissing.
Later in the night Brandon was playing basketball in the driveway, Lena encouraged Stef to talk to him, and rebuked her for pouting. Lena told Stef that she had no right to feel guilty and act hurt. Stef talked to Brandon and apologized, then encouraged him to carve his own path. Marianna sincerely explained to Callie that she didn't read her journal. Then Brandon went to his father's home in tears and told him he couldn't move in with him. His father told him to do what he felt was what he wanted, and then they hugged. While they were hugging Brandon saw a piano, his father told him he rented it for him. He father said he was welcome to come play anytime and Brandon cried more deeply. The episode then cut to all the kids with Lena and Stef watching a movie. Jude explained he had to write a story for school and needed a villain's name, everyone offered ideas. Talya offered her suggestion of Liam, then Jude and Callie realized that Talya was the one who read the journal entry.
