The Quinn's home a lovely summer villa theme home where the Quinn's has agreed to help Callie with a fundraiser to help Girls' United, Rita was in charge of Girls' United where they help foster girls who were in the system who were troubled. Callie used to leave with them after her running away and falling in love with Brandon thinking that she wasn't good enough to have a family or anyone it was Rita who finally got through to her and reminded her that she has a family and you can't close yourself to everyone. Thanks to Rita, Callie found out that she has a future and a family with the Fosters, but when things started to look good for Callie she ran into another stag into her path to be part of the Fosters she found out that her father Donald Jacob is really not her biological father her real father is Robert Quinn. Times was tough for Callie, but with the Fosters, Rita and Girls' United help she was able to accept Robert Quinn and after a while talking to Rita one-on-one she remember she has a life and people who cared for her Robert even agreed to signed the abandoned papers so the Fosters can adopted her she was all too happy with where her life was heading until…
Sophia Quinn her half-sister grabs Callie and pulls her inside of the nice summer villa home of the Quinn's both girls were happy giggling from the excitement of everything that happened. Callie was happy from the fact the Quinn's had help her and Rita with the fundraiser to get Girls' United, Sophia was happy that the fact Callie just admitted that the Quinn's were also her family as well.
"What…what did you want to tell me?" Callie giggled to Sophia who brought her to their luxurious dining room.
Sophia smiled and turned to Callie, "It's not too late…"
Callie smiled turned to confusion about what Sophia said to her, "What's not too late?" The concern in Callie's face as Sophia begins to reply to her question.
"It's not too late for us to be a family!" Sophia told Callie. Callie sighed and smiled as Sophia knowing her half-sister was just overjoyed with emotions.
Callie reassured her, "Sophia I'm getting adopted by the Fosters…" Before she could finish her sentence Sophia cut her off.
"Dad…didn't sign the papers!" Sophia replied Callie face turned to disappointment, "Well I…mean he did…but they actually didn't get sent…because I took them out the mail and ripped them up!" Callie face was in totally shocked as if her entire world was shattered right before her eyes she couldn't believe that Sophia would even say something like that even do something like that why would she stay in the way of her happiness not even Jude would do that to her. Sophia's smile turned to confusion why wouldn't Callie be happy about the news that she just told her?
Callie went to Robert and called him to the living room where he and his two daughters continued the conversation as both Robert and Callie were flustered by Sophia's confessions.
"Dad…I just thought if she had more time, that she would see we're her family…" Sophia tried to explained, but Callie cuts her off.
"Well the Fosters are My Family!" Callie tells her.
"You just told everyone that we!" Sophia reminded her. Callie looks at Sophia knowing that Sophia was telling the truth she looks at her and sighs.
"Sophia…"Robert interrupts them as Sophia turns to her father, "Let me talk to Callie alone…okay?" Sophia looks at both of them with tears in her eyes, but she says nothing and turns away from the both of them walking out the room giving the two of them some privacy.
With Sophia gone Callie and Robert just flustered with everything trying to make sense of everything that's going on and what in the world was Sophia thinking.
"I'm trying not to be mad at her…" Callie said exhaling with frustration, "I think she's just…"
"Gotten attach to you…" Robert replied, "Yeah we all have…"
"So how long do you think until you can get new copies?" Callie asked Robert he lets out a long sigh and looks at her with remorse.
"I can't…" He replied Callie didn't understand what he meant by "he can't", "I can't sign the papers…again, signing the paper was the hardest thing I have ever done," He tells her as his choking in between his words, "…And after hearing you say that…I…I'm your father…I can't abandon you, I know it's what you want…I love you!"
Callie couldn't believe what she just heard all the hard work everything she worked for and once again just like that her whole world was shattered again she replied in hatred, "I don't love you!" She tells him tearing up, "…And I will never live in this house with you, and I will never call you my father again!" She turns away from Robert he tries to follow behind her.
"Callie…Callie…" He tried to explain his self, but she was too hurt and upset to listen to him.
"No, you promise me!" She scowled him.
"I know…I do…I want you to be happy…"
"I won't be happy!" She told him because Robert doesn't understand the pain that she's been throughout her life in 16 years while he had it good both him and Sophia while her and Jude been through a lot, "I'm never going to be happy!" She walks out the room leaving Robert to think about what just happened as Callie leaves the home she runs into Sophia who was crying.
"I'm sorry okay?" She tries to explain to Callie, "I just wanted you to be with us! I'm your sister."
Callie just looks at her with disgust in her face and in her heart for the Quinn's, "No you're not…you're a spoiled little brat!" Callie runs off leaving Sophia to weep in her own tears and sorrow.
During this Jude went to talk to his moms about everything with Connor and his dad Stef and Lena sits on the opposite sides of Jude.
"Hey so you okay?" Stef asked Jude padding him on the back, knowing that Jude been through a lot with Callie and the Quinn's, Connor and his father it took a toll on Jude for some time, "With Callie acknowledge Robert and Sophia?"
"Yeah…are you?" Jude replied letting his moms know that everything is ok and that the real problem is everything going on with him and Connor.
"Yeah I think so…" Stef replied to him rubbing his back.
"Yeah…" Lena agreed with Stef as Jude gives them a weak smiling knowing that he overheard Stef and Lena early in the day.
"Did you quit your job because of me?" Jude asked Lena she was shocked at the question her son asked her.
"How did you know about that?" Lena asked him.
"I overheard…Jude said looking back forth between his two moms, "Sorry." Stef gave Lena a look knowing that it is the truth, "Is it my fault?"
"No…"Stef tried to tell Jude, Lena cuts in, "No…I quit my job because…someone has to stand up to bullying! And you're Mom first and I care about defending you more than keeping my job."
Jude looks at her and looks down, "You shouldn't… defend me…"
"Why not?" Stef asked Jude.
"Because we did something on the camping trip…that was "wrong"… I guess," Jude tells his moms as they couldn't understand what Jude meant by wrong.
"Jude…honey, what did you and Connor do on the camping trip?" Lena asked Jude.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you…I promised Connor I wouldn't…it's just that I didn't want you to lose your job over me and I understand if you're upset with me or don't love me anymore," Jude told them.
Stef hugged Jude, "Oh honey we could never not love you, but Jude whatever you and Connor did you have to tell us what you two did?"
"Jude…whatever you did you can tell us you know that right?" Lena told Jude rubbing his leg.
"I'm sorry…" Jude said to his moms he gets and walks away from them leaving Stef and Lena to wonder what happened between him and Connor. Lena takes a sip from her cup as Stef tries to confront her Lena pushes away.
"Don't…just don't right now…" Lena told Stef.
"Love I know it's hard, but now that we know something maybe you can get your job back now explain that you was overdramatic after dealing with your loss," Stef tries to tell her.
"And then what? I look like an idiot I quit my job and now Jude tells me I might be wrong about him and Connor and that maybe Connor's father has a point?!" Lena starts to cry as Stef hugs her.
"Let it out love!" Stef rocks her wife she understands that Lena been through a lot and it'll take some time to get over everything with the loss of the baby everything is out of Lena's control and she just couldn't handle the pressure.
Callie runs out of the house and Brandon notices that she was upset he chases after her he finally catch up to her, "Callie…Callie hey what's going on?"
"Robert not letting me get adopted!" She explained to him much to his confusion.
"Wait I thought…I thought he signed the paper?!" Brandon replied he couldn't wrap his head around what Callie just said he tries to calmly settle her down.
"I can't believe…I was stupid…I knew I couldn't trust…" Callie was so emotional flustering over her words trying not to choke from the pain Brandon pulls her around to try to get her to slow down, "Callie talk to me!" She continued, "I can't trust anyone…I knew this was going to happen Brandon I knew it, I just knew…I"
Brandon cut her off, "Come here sit down," He sat Callie down along with his self to a nearby bench outside of Quinn's villa mansion to calm her down. She begins to cry knowing that her future and her family was taken away from her, "Take some breaths…kay" Callie exhale and inhales trying to calm down while Brandon talks to her, "...just take some deep breaths…no matter what they can't make you live with them…we'll still be your family." Brandon reassured Callie, but she couldn't believe what Brandon was telling her.
"I'm never getting adopted…" She tells him.
He shakes his head no, "You don't know that."
"Yes I do," Callie tells him with all hope lost, Brandon sighs in disappointment, "If Robert doesn't sign the papers…maybe this is the way it's supposed to be," Brandon looks at Callie with confusion that Callie will get adopted, "…or maybe this was what it always supposed to been…I gave up so much to be adopted…" Callie looks at Brandon as he looks at her understanding everything she did, everything she gave up he included he gave her up knowing that if they were together she'll never have a family and she wanted more than anything a family, a home…now what?
Brandon couldn't say anything he looks deeply into Callie's eyes and she into his, they both pull into each other knowing how tension and how much they been suppressing their feelings for each other, The next thing they know their kissing passionately as if it was years that they haven't been in each other's presence tears felt from Callie's eyes as if everything in the world disappeared it was just her and Brandon his hands hold tightly to her face never wanting to let go she reach for the side of his head rubbing his head then his face as their kisses intensify never wanting it to end she pulled away for bit catching her breath and Brandon came back into the kiss, but then when everything seems right Callie remember everything she pushed Brandon away.
"No…no this is wrong," Callie said getting up from the bench touching her lips where Brandon just kissed her.
"What's…what's wrong Callie," Brandon pulls her back to him she pushed away.
"Brandon you know this is wrong!" Callie snapped at him, "I was vulnerable I'm with Wyatt still, and I do love you, but like I said before I want a family, a family is more important than we are…I'm sorry!" Callie runs away from him leaving him to stand there with his thoughts.
"Callie! Callie!" Brandon calls out to her, but it wasn't enough she left she couldn't handle everything that happened to her. Brandon thought about what Callie told her and maybe she was right maybe them being together is too much and then what about Lou Brandon like her as well, but kissing Callie made him relive all the feelings he had about her and how she's supposed to be her sister and not her lover. He vowed to himself that he will help Callie get adopted whatever it takes.
Back at the Quinn's house Rita was thanking people for helping with the fundraiser she ran into Daphne and Kiara who were talking and laughing at whatever they were talking about, "Hey girls," Rita greet them.
"Hey Rita!" Kiara replied with excitement.
"You seem very happy Kiara what's going with you two?" Rita asked taking a sip from her glass.
"Go on girl tell her the good news!" Daphne nudged Kiara.
"Wait what good news?" Rita asked, but by the look on Kiara's face she knew what she was about to tell her.
"Yes…Rita thanks to Callie and you finally someone actually wants to adopt me I'm getting a family soon!" Kiara replied as Rita hugs her overjoyed with happiness, "Well have you've told Callie and don't forget to thank the Quinn's I mean without their charity we wouldn't be hear!"
"I won't and not yet I was looking for Callie actually!" Kiara said to her.
"That is a good question to be honest I did see her go with her sister…um what was she called…" Daphne replied.
"Sophia I'll go and get her I know she's going to be super excited about the news!" Rita said to the both of the girls leaving them with the good news and joy of Kiara getting a family.
She walks into the living room and see Robert Quinn upset and distraught over something she slowly walks over to him hearing him sob over something she hears him saying sorry Callie, she wondered why because after everything today he should be happy. "Robert…is everything alright?"
"No…everything is not alright…I…" Robert tried to explain, but before anything Brandon came in the room interrupting Rita and Robert.
"Brandon…what are you?" Rita asked, but without any thought or hesitation Brandon walks pass Rita with angry and hatred in his eyes he punches Robert Quinn knocking him over his couch Rita was shocked to see what Brandon just did at the same time a few of the girls hear the commotion and walked in to see Brandon standing over Robert Quinn, "What the hell Brandon have you've completely lost your mind?!"
"You took away Callie's happiness and for that I can't forgive!" Brandon told Robert Quinn, "I know she's your daughter and you love her, but so do I! I love her more and she gave up everything to be adopted by us and then you and your daughter stand in her way!"
Rita and Daphne grab Brandon to calm him down visible upset with Robert. Robert gets up rub his chin he didn't take it to heart he knew why Brandon was upset, but at the same time he doesn't understand the fact of having a child abandoning her after knowing she exist was something he couldn't do.
Jude walks outside to see Callie crying sitting on the side of the road he walks over to his sister to confront her.
"Callie is everything alright?" Jude asked her she turns around and looks at Jude, "Come on you can tell me what's going on?"
"Come here…buddy," Callie tells him wiping the tears from her eyes, "I just wanted you to know that I love you. You know that right bud?" she hugs him tightly.
"Yeah…I know I love you too, but what is this about did something happen?" Jude replied.
"I won't get adopted…" Callie replied to Jude, his face expression was shocked as he couldn't believe what he just heard, Jude feels guilty after the drama with his Moms and Connor and his father now Callie can't get adopted what else could go wrong Jude thought to his self.
"What do you mean? You told us at dinner the night before that Robert had signed the abandonment papers, so was it a lie?" Jude asked.
"Sophia ripped the papers up just before Robert Quinn sent and when I told him what Sophia did he said he couldn't sign the papers not again it's looks like I won't be part of a family anymore," Callie explained, "It's like everything I worked for was taken from me, Jude you're all the family I have now…" Jude looks down at Callie as if what she said to him was his fault, "Jude whatever it is you think or whatever is going with you and Connor it's not your fault remember that okay?"
"Yeah," Jude replied, "I love you Callie I always will and I had to let you go I had to share you with another family and it hurt, but I will be here and so will Moms don't forget that we're all falling apart now, but me and you need to…be strong okay for me Callie."
Inside next to the band Jesus was standing next to Hors d'oeuvre table eating some food, but he holds his side where the tattoo that he got started to throb and itch, Mariana nudges him and let's out a little ouch.
"You okay Jesus?" Mariana asked she was worried about Jesus as he clutches his side where his tattoo was, "Jesus don't tell me it's the tattoo that's bothering you?"
"No…no maybe it's something I ate or something?" Jesus told her.
"I think you should tell Moms about the tattoo, because you never know it could be infected or something I'm just saying?" Mariana told her twin knowing that Jesus made a big mistake and especially when it came to Hayley no wonder people break up with her or leave her the girl was crazy and now she got her brother Mariana won't let Jesus be a fool about it.
"It's fine Mariana I got this…please don't tell Moms I'll work on a way to get rid of the tattoo myself you made a promise okay?"
"Fine okay then Jesus, but Moms need to know eventually," Mariana told him.
"And Ana needs your forgiveness…" Jesus smirked back knowing it was a touchy subject for Mariana. She just looks at Jesus knowing that he was telling the truth, but she couldn't bring herself to it.
Lena and Stef walk down the stairs to hear some commotions and they hear Rita saying Brandon's name they rush into the living room and see Rita and Daphne holding Brandon back from Robert Quinn.
"Brandon Foster!" Stef yelled as everyone turns to see Stef and Lena standing in the room, "What in the world is going on?!"
"He won't let Callie get adopted!" Brandon tells his Moms with the shocking look on their faces.
"Calm down Brandon let's all sit down and talk this out!" Lena said as Brandon cools down and jerks away from Rita and Daphne.
"Girls can you please excuse us all?" Stef asked the Girls' United as they all leave leaving Brandon, Lena, Stef, and Rita with Robert Quinn, "Okay now that everything is calm Brandon I'm not saying what you did is okay we will talk about this when we get home, but for now tell us what is going on?"
"Callie's not going to get adopted she'll never be part of our family she felt like Robert Quinn failed her!" Brandon explained to them.
"Wait she told is that Robert did sign the paper there might be some confusion correct Robert?" Lena replied looking towards Robert for an answer.
"I did sign the papers and put them in the mail, but my daughter, Sophia she got her hands on them and ripped them up because she wanted Callie to come live with us because she's my daughter, her sister…" Robert explained to shock grouped.
"…No she's our daughter she belongs with us!" Stef told Robert, Lena tries to calm Stef down, "No Lena don't you promised her you promised us! Callie worked for this we worked for this yes I understand she's your biological daughter, but she's ours she's my daughter and I won't let anyone get her way not the courts, not the system and certainly not you!"
"I understand, but it's hard for me!" Robert tried to explain.
"No Mr. Quinn what I don't understand is why you can't sign another abandonment papers, you can't promise something to a teenage and then take it back, it's like you're a absent father and you come in her life all of sudden and makes a promise, but don't follow through if you want her to happy you as a parent have to learn to let go," Rita explain to him, "I'm sorry Lena and Stef…"
"Rita there's nothing for you to be sorry about…" Lena replied to her, but Rita shook her head.
"I told Callie that she give the Quinn's a chance and don't shut them out, but I would've never thought it would've turned out like this and I'm sorry," Rita explain taking her glasses off rubbing her eyes.
"No Rita it's not your fault I understand completely, but Robert I won't give Callie up without a fight so I suggest you sign those abandonment papers and leave us and Callie alone forever," Stef warned Robert, "We're done here Brandon get your father and your siblings tell him we're going home and tell your band to wrap it up!" Brandon did as he was told he gets up from the couch and walks pass Rita Lena and lastly Stef, "But first you will apologize now!"
Brandon looks at his mother with a disgust look, but Stef didn't back down she squeezes is arm to let him know she was serious, "I'm…I'm sorry Robert, I would've never had let my angry get the best of me and for that I'm truly sorry. Can I go now?" Stef lets go of Brandon's arm and he storms out of the room leaving just the adults.
"Robert I understand how you feel I recently lost a child and it feels like your whole world is turning upside down, but you have to get back up and if you love Callie…if you really love Callie you have to let her go just like losing a child you have to do what's best for them not what's best for you that's what being a parent means," Lena tells him her words made Robert think about everything and maybe he was wrong for not resigning the papers, "I'm sorry for everything our son did please don't let that take away the good things between you and Callie she is our daughter just like any parent we love her too."
"I'mma stay here with the girls you go on and take care of your family and find Callie you how she gets when she runs away," Rita told Lena she understood and gave her a hug before walking out of the living room.
Jill Quinn the wife of Robert Quinn and mother of Sophia who has no clue of what was going on she hadn't heard in the commotions or drama at all, she looks around from Sophia from downstairs, but couldn't find her she looks outside as well she knew she could be with Callie, but where could they have gone if they did go somewhere she runs into one of her guest that she knows, "Have you seen Sophia?"
"She was with Callie, but I think I saw them go upstairs," The guest said to Jill as she thanks her she goes upstairs to Sophia's room. She knocks on the door and say Sophia, but she didn't hear anything so she walks in the room slowly looks around and didn't see Sophia or Callie.
She notices Sophia's bathroom was closed which was unusual since Sophia keeps her bathroom door open she wonders if Callie or Sophia was in the restroom she hesitated for a bit, but she goes to her door and knock on the door she opens the door.
Outside of the Quinn's home villa Stef walks outside to see Callie and Jude sitting outside on the side of the road down the hill, "Callie! Jude!" Callie and Jude turns around to see Stef she was relieved to see Callie she thought that with everything that was going on in her mind that Callie might run away again she runs to her kids and hugs Jude first and then she hugs Callie and hold to her tightly as Callie begins to cry, "It's okay love I won't let them take you away from us you're our daughter understand?" Callie nods and they continued to hold each other in their arms, "Okay so we're leaving I'll explain everything later, but for now we're leaving okay?"
Brandon goes over to his band and Lou looks at him with a worried look, "Is everything alright Brandon?"
"I'm sorry I have a family emergency we have to go," Brandon explained.
"That's cool we'll finish it up call when you get home or whatever you go on and settle your family emergency okay?" Lou told him. Brandon smiles at her packing up his piano.
Mike comes out of the house with Mariana and Jesus trying to figure out what's going on with everyone being left out he was totally clueless, "Guys what in the world in the world is going on?"
"Mike we're going home I'll explain everything later," Stef tells him, "Jesus and Mariana come on we're going home get in the car!" Stef tells her kids as Brandon comes out with his piano and equipment and places it in the car as they all get in Stef and Lena are in the front of the car as Mike walks over to Stef's side as she trying to reserve the car.
"Come on Stef why you guys leaving the party's nice and the Quinn's been nice to us so why are you leaving?" Mike wondered Stef couldn't tell him.
"Just trust me I'll tell when we get home," Stef said driving out of the park lot of the Quinn's home leaving Mike standing in the driveway frustrated by Stef reluctant to tell him anything.
Upstairs Jill Quinn walks into her daughter's room and see notices that Sophia's bathroom door was closed and she slowly walks up to her door and opens the door she saw what every mother didn't want to see their daughter knocked out on the floor blood from Sophia's slit wrists' she screams in horror to see her daughter would even do something like that. Robert runs upstairs to Sophia's room and see the horror of what happened to Sophia.
"Sophia! Wake up! Sophia!" Robert tries to wake his daughter up, "Call the ambulance!"
Outside of the home Mike decided to follow the Fosters home he heads to his car until Rita runs out of the house to talk to Mike.
"Rita what is it? What's going on?" Mike asked.
"It's…its Sophia she tried to kill herself?!" Rita told him.
Rita turns back to house as Mike follow her back to the home they go into the house hoping that they can help the Quinn's with Sophia before it's too late.
