Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

I had no idea how much I needed to see The Fosters return. Stef and Lena have made their grand return to the spin-off visiting Callie and Mariana. Everything that happened in the past four episodes was going to catch up with them, and they are not ready. Callie has Gael and Malika drama, Mariana has drama too, and on top of that, we get to learn about Dennis’s drama. He is the creepy resident who dates young girls. It sounds super creepy, but we’ll get to him.

Stef and Lena are magic. Their presence alone elevated this episode to a whole other level. The chemistry between them is incredible, and their charms win over the entire Coterie, including Dennis himself. To add onto that, they also ate weed cookies, which got them really high, because that’s a thing apparently.

The message of the episode is quite simple: No matter how old we all get, we’re going to need our parents. They want to be bothered by us because they miss us! I’m honestly crying over this episode.

We need them back. The Fosters ended too soon.

Callie plans to disclose her friendship with Malika to Judge Wilson, and her relationship with Gael advances past the causal phase. However, Ben, the male clerk, finds proof on Instagram about the friendship by the end of the episode. Callie’s going to get into serious trouble.

Side note: I’m still not a fan of how this show reveals the future and then backtracks to the present. This episode did it too many times.

Overall, beautiful episode, and those without context of The Fosters, just know Stef and Lena are great human beings. They raised the best daughters and have the ideal marriage. I miss them so much.
