Chula Vista Juvenile Detention

Callie faces mistreatment from many of her inmates at the Chula Vista Juvenile Detention Facility. Before Callie's release from juvie, some of her inmates (Daphne Keene amongst them) physically assaulted her because they were jealous that she was leaving.

Meeting Lena

When Lena comes to pick her up, she learns that Callie has trouble with male figures and is in juvie because she damaged her foster father's car. Lena is reluctant to take Callie in because she doesn't want someone violent to be in the house with her children. As Callie gets out, she is flustered and confused why Bill, the usual social worker, isn't there, and tells David, his substitute, that she needs to speak to Jude.

Lena has a change of heart when she sees Callie's bruised appearance and hopeless expression, and agrees to takes her in for a few weeks. Callie is then fostered.

Callie meeting the family.

At the Foster's home, Callie meets the twins, Mariana and Jesus who Stef and Lena adopted five years earlier and Brandon, Stef's biological son from her previous marriage. Callie's harsh exterior creates an uncomfortable setting for the Foster family when she makes several provocative comments.

After dinner, Lena tries to help Callie get settled in and tries to get more information about who Jude is. Callie starts telling Lena, until Stef disrupts them, Callie mistrustful of cops, shuts down again. Throughout the night, Callie sneaks around trying to find a phone and ends up taking Brandon's to call Jude to whom she refers to as "baby". She also catches Mariana stealing Jesus' pills.

Callie at school.

The following day, Callie goes to school with the other kids and is amazed by their school, Anchor Beach Charter School, but she feels out of place. She goes with Brandon to the music room and listens to him practice for his music competition. She likes the piece that he is playing and learns that it is an original competition about the night that his moms asked him if they could adopt Jesus and Mariana. They get interrupted by his girlfriend Talya who who shows Callie to her class. In class, Callie finds a student with car keys and thinks that he might drive her to see Jude. After class, she tries to get the student to take her to see her brother, but thinking that she is trouble, he refuses. Mariana sees Callie trying to get off of campus and tells her how to get out and where the metro is.

Brandon sees Callie leaving school and follows her, abandoning his jealous looking girlfriend. Callie tells him to leave her alone and mind his own business. After her foster father disrupts her call with Jude, she reveals to Brandon that she's trying to get her brother back. Brandon suggests that they involve Stef since she is a cop, but Callie refuses because she thinks that she will be sent back to juvie.

On the bus, Callie tells Brandon how abusive her foster father is and how she ended up in juvie. She reminds him that he has a music competition, but he tells her that there will be others, giving up a huge scholarship.

At Judes Fosters Fathers

Callie and Brandon set up a plan to distract her foster father so that she can see Jude. However, it fails when her foster father catches her and threatens her to leave. When she refuses, he shakes her to leave prompting Brandon to come in. Callie's foster father, Jim Pearson, pulls out his gun creating a really tense environment, but it ends quickly when Stef and Mike bust in and arrest him. Callie rushes to Jude, trying to comfort him, and the two share a loving, relieved sibling embrace.

Stef Talking to Callie

Outside, Stef tells Callie that she isn't disposable and makes the decision to keep Callie and Jude, refusing to send them back into the foster system just yet.

Sitting inside the car, Callie apologizes to Brandon and tells him that he didn't have to come, to which he replies "Yes I did". A long look passes between them, hinting chemistry and a possible future relationship. Callie and Jude are both now staying at the Adams-Foster's home.
