05x22 - Where the Heart Is

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Fosters

Eliza and I are engaged.

- Sweetheart!

- We are all very excited about the destination wedding courtesy of Jim and Diane.

You got a job offer in India.

- Jesus - Go to India.

I'm done.

Corey's mother heard that you were taking him out of the country.

SCOTT [CONT'D]

: The judge rescinded the permission to take Corey to the wedding.

We're here in Turks and Caicos.

MARIANA: Eliza and Brandon.

- It's crazy.

- Wow.

ELIZA: These are my friends and other bridesmaids.

- What are you doing?

- I'm just trying to stop you from doing something you'll regret.

JESUS: I'm single.

I can do whatever I want.

Not as awkward as you telling those girls I gave you crabs.

Well, you did.

JUDE: He is so gay.

I heard he has a girlfriend.

I've been with a lot of guys who have girlfriends.

Hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa.

[SOBBING]

CALLIE: Why are you having doubts?

Because of the prenup?

BRANDON: I mean, it's everything.

You're the only person who's ever really taken care of me.

ELIZA: I know he was your first love.

Is that why you don't want him to marry me?

'Cause you still have feelings for him?

It's late.

'Bout time we ride out I'm thinkin' we could turn the light out I've been talking, it don't mean a thing When I get what I came for Said I'll give it up, give it to you

- [KNOCKING AT DOOR]

- You got it there, sugar Say it The thing that I need I think your loving You make me lately, make me lately You make me weak in my knees Of all Hey!

Is Jesus here?

Hey!

I was wondering if you're still up for that drink?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Uh Come on in.

Don't you think about it too much If I think about you sometimes Hey.

Hey.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYS]

It's not where you come from It's where you belong Nothin' I would trade I wouldn't have it any other way You're surrounded By love and you're wanted So never feel alone You are home with me Right where you belong You know what?

I think I'm gonna call it a night.

Yeah!

Actually, I'm exhausted.

Yeah.

It's gettin' late!

[GASPS]

Oh my God!

- - CALLIE: What?

Emma's here.

In Turks?

Yeah, and and Brandon can't find Jesus.

Do you know what room Jayden's in?

Absolutely not.

I'm so sorry to crash your wedding.

Is Eliza here?

Or you're probably not seeing each other until she walks down the aisle tomorrow.

You're so lucky that you found your person already.

My cousin's 36, and she's thinking about freezing her eggs because she's worried that she'll be infertile by the time she meets the right person.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, Emma!

Hey.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

Um, Mariana's just looking for Jesus.

She thinks he's probably in the game room with Jude.

- Let's go to the game room.

- No!

Um It's all the way across the resort.

They're probably on their way back now.

Okay.

JAYDEN: That was amazing.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Who is it?

- It's Mari my sister.

JAYDEN: Well, what's she doing here?

Nothing.

She's she's gone.

Okay, well, maybe something's wrong?

- She's what's wrong.

- [KNOCKING]

Damn it!

Mariana!

- What are you doing?

- Emma's here!

See, this is exactly why I didn't want you to do anything I knew you would regret.

But no!

All you did was say mean and hurtful things which you cannot take back by the way.

Now, how am I supposed to face her after what I just did?

Okay, look, look.

Technically, you were broken up.

Don't volunteer anything, and let her do all the talking.

I mean, as long as you don't give her an STI, it's it's probably best she never knows.

Hey.

Can I talk to you?

Yeah.

I totally understand of why you felt like when I applied for that job in India, that I wasn't choosing you but I am.

And that's why I flew all the way here to tell you that I love you.

You're my soulmate, and I want to be with you forever.

Please say something.

I love you, too.

Where's Jude, by the way?

- I haven't seen him.

- I think he was helping Carter back to his room.

He was pretty wasted.

Well, uh, my job here is done, so think I'm gonna go to bed.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Have you talked to Eliza yet?

You're getting married in a few hours.

I don't know what to say.

Look, I'm not a relationship expert.

Seeing as how I've blown up every one I've ever had, but I do know that when you do something to hurt the person you love, it's really hard to take it back.

I've seen the way you look at Eliza.

I know that look.

You love her.

So, just talk to her.

Hey.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Why didn't you tell me about her?

It was before she was adopted.

Do you still love her?

Is that why you're suddenly acting so strange?

She has nothing to do with how I'm feeling.

How are you feeling?

Are you having doubts?

Are we still getting married?

Brandon are we still getting married?

I just [WAVES CRASHING]

[SIGHING]

It's crazy to think at this time tomorrow night Brandon will be married.

I'm not ready for this.

I It's all just flown by.

They're all adults now.

How did this happen?

Do you think if we sell the house they'll still come home?

I've been thinking about it and But there's no guarantee that I'll win this Assembly seat.

You know, to to move to a different district just to run and maybe lose.

I just I don't think it's worth it.

Are you sure?

Do you want to leave our home?

I'm sure.

So, are we gonna do this?

Why not?

[BOTH GIGGLE]

[LAUGHING AND SHRIEKING]

[PHONE CLICKING]

Oh, sh*t.

There's no towel.

Hamper!

In the hamper.

Oh my God.

Ugh.

[GAGGING]

Oh, ew.

Wet.

Gross.

Okay, well, it's better than being naked.

Now what?

Um Oh, yes, it is.

Hi, this is Stef Adams Foster in Key West 505.

We've managed to lock ourselves out of room without a key, so wondering if you could meet us there, and let us in?

Well, no, we don't we don't have ID with us because we locked ourselves out.

What's the problem?

Well, uh, is that really necessary?

'Cause

- What's he saying?

- Shh!

No, not you.

My wife just wants to know what's going on.

Okay!

We yes.

What?

We have to go to the front desk to get a new key.

[SCOFFS]

In our towels?

Well, we can wear the palm fronds, if you would prefer.

- The sun's coming up.

Hurry.

- We can do this.

It's fine.

Are you awake?

I know you're awake.

I know how you breathe when you're asleep.

How do I breathe when I'm asleep?

With your mouth open.

Kinda throaty.

Hey, well, you snore.

- Do not.

- Do so.

So were you planning to hook up with Jamie last night?

- No.

- It's okay if you were.

No, I wouldn't do that to you.

- I'm not into him.

- Yeah, well, I still wouldn't.

I had a moment with Mat.

He invited me back to his room, and I was tempted, but I told him I'd think about it.

And then I ran into Jamie, and I asked him to help stop me from doing something I would regret.

So, that's why I went to his room and had a drink.

And that's all, I swear.

Are you sure you weren't going to hook up with Jamie?

Yes.

I just couldn't sleep.

Speaking of sleep, we should probably get some before this wedding.

Is there even gonna be a wedding?

Why do you say that?

I'm not blind.

I know there's trouble in paradise.

Not that you'd confide in me.

Did you tell Eliza about me and Brandon?

Wait.

Eliza knows about you and Brandon?

- Is that what's going on?

- Did you tell her?

No, of course not.

Are you sure?

How else would she have found out?

I don't know.

It wasn't me!

Well, it wasn't Brandon, and no one else knows.

I guess you really don't trust me.

- Where are you going?

- To sleep on the couch.

Do you really think that standing here in these towels we would be trying to get into a room that isn't ours?

I'm terribly sorry.

We take security very seriously here at Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos.

We'll get you a new key right away.

- Thank you!

- Thank you.

At least it's too early for anyone to be in the lobby.

Well, hello!

Well, hi!

How are you?

Look!

You guys are up early.

Yes!

We're, uh, on our way to the gym.

Cool!

Okay, um, well, it's a funny story, 'cause we got locked out of our room.

We we had stepped out

- to get some ice.

- The paper.

And ice 'cause we like iced coffee.

[LAUGHS AWKWARDLY]

Oh, here we go.

- Here's your

- Thank you.

And we'll make sure housekeeping gets you new robes.

You left them on the beach, you say?

Um, we will see you guys later!

- Bye-bye.

- Yep.

- Okay.

- STEF: Okay!

What is wrong with you?

Hey, hey!

Hey.

- You're here.

- Yeah, I just got in.

Wow!

You're up early.

Yeah, I I never went to bed, actually.

You okay?

It's in your eyes I'm freaking out, Dad.

[CHUCKLES]

Aw.

Aw, what's freaking you out?

I guess I'm I'm scared if I marry Eliza that I'm not gonna be able to do what I wanna do, you know?

And and I'm just gonna feel pressure from her and her parents to get a real job and You know, make money.

And and I don't even know if she supports me, and and so I'm just gonna end up What?

Take care of her and not yourself?

Look, B, the only person that can keep you from achieving what you want in life is you.

So if you can't trust yourself to stand up to Eliza and her parents, then maybe you're not mature enough to be getting married.

I don't want to lose her.

Well, then you're gonna have to grow up pretty fast, 'cause the only way you can have her, is to choose yourself, if you can do that.

But if you can't you might have to call it off.

Leave a light A light on at the door -

- BRANDON: There.

I love your daughter and I will sign anything to prove that to you.

But I'm sorry, I'm not comfortable being given a condo.

I want Eliza and I to buy our own home when we can afford it.

And I also want you to know that I plan to work my ass off to succeed as a film composer, and I will.

But it might take some time, and I don't want to feel like there's some ticking clock, and I need your support on that.

I want you to do what you're passionate about, whether you're getting paid or not.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I love you.

I love you.

Mom Dad Brandon's moms are gonna marry us on the beach.

Like we wanted.

And my bridesmaids are gonna wear dresses that aren't so uptight.

No offense, Mom.

And there's one more thing.

- BRANDON: Eliza!

- I trust Brandon.

And if you guys don't then you can take me out of the will.

[GULLS CAWING]

Everybody's talking about our good love Nobody'll tell you what it takes The weight of a star is in that good love So tell me about your day Dreams that have gone away I don't know what to say But I'm yours Tell me about your day Dreams that have gone away I don't know what to say But I'm yours Forever

- Who who's this?

- LENA: This is Callie.

She's gonna be staying with us for a little while.

BRANDON: Okay.

Um, nice to meet you.

CALLIE: Okay, I need a family.

BRANDON: You deserve to be happy.

You deserve to have everything you want.

CALLIE: The judge will never let Lena and Stef adopt me.

- I was helping - BRANDON: I'm still in love with you!

CALLIE: We can't!

I love you, Brandon.

JUDGE: Congratulations, Callie.

BRANDON: I love you, too.

JUDGE: You're officially a member of the Adams Foster family.

CALLIE: We could've ruined everything.

BRANDON: Now she's my sister.

I'm not gonna shut her out of my life anymore.

This is your family, and that's all that matters.

CALLIE: I've been loved by you Brandon, and it is a pretty powerful thing.

Thank you for that.

We're all gathered here today, including Corey at home.

Hi, my love!

Hey, everybody.

Congratulations, Brandon and Eliza.

- Hi.

- Hey, Corey.

We are here today to witness the vows that Brandon and Eliza will share with each other.

Besides the differing opinions on who asked whom to coffee on their first date

- I did.

- Uh, no, I did.

[LAUGHTER]

Besides this minor discrepancy, we are here to support you, and wish you all of the joy and happiness that true love brings.

LENA: We found a poem that we think summarizes, not only marriage, but also family.

What our family has been to us, and hopefully what your family will be to you one day.

But not too soon, because I'm not ready to be a grandma yet.

[LAUGHTER]

"Love isn't perfect.

It isn't a fairytale or a story book.

And it doesn't always come easy.

" STEF: I told them I met a woman that I can't live without, and I I belong with you, Lena.

I love you.

Of course I want to marry you.

You know it's a bad idea to go to bed angry, right?

[g*nsh*t]

Hey!

I'm here!

STEF: You're the person I've been waiting for my whole life.

What happened to unified front?

LENA: Honestly, I disagree.

When we got married, I felt like we were more in love than ever.

- I want us back.

- STEF: I'm sorry.

Are you having an affair with Monte?

LENA: No!

You can't do this!

You can't lose your job.

Sometimes I think we're just failing miserably

- at this whole parenting thing.

- STEF: No, we are not.

We're not.

I want to be equal.

I want our love and our family to be out and be proud.

Oh, this is so on!

- All right.

- Okay!

LENA: All the pressure to have sex - tonight was coming from you.

- STEF: Okay.

Okay.

For the record, I would have been happy just cuddling.

STEF: It brought up this thing that I carry around in me.

I'm afraid you'll reject me because I'm not enough.

LENA: I know your struggles and your fears, and I love you for them, not in spite of them.

STEF: You're my everything.

"Love is overcoming obstacles and "facing challenges.

"Love is fighting to be together.

"Holding on and never letting go.

"It is a short word, easy to spell, "difficult to define, "and impossible to live without.

"Love is work.

"But most of all love is realizing that every hour, "every minute, every second of it was worth it.

Because you did it together.

" STEF: We would like to know how you would feel about making this a more permanent arrangement.

You mean, like, adopt us?

[SHRIEKING, LAUGHING]

LENA: You don't have to thank me.

I'm your mom.

This is what we do.

MARIANA: I have the best moms in the world and I should have danced with you.

STEF: You know what you need?

- A Mama sandwich!

- [SQUEALS]

No!

Mommy sandwich!

STEF: Jesus!

Come on, let's go!

Dinner's ready!

Family dinner is not an option.

It's the only time I get to see all of your beautiful faces.

SHARON: We're having a family dance party!

Come on!

This family needs to have some fun!

Oh my God!

I-I got in!

- [SQUEALING]

- I got in!

Oh my God!

Why can't anyone f-f-f-fix me?

RITA: Life is a mixed bag.

We all get some good, and we all get some bad.

Sometimes you gotta stick around long enough for your luck to find you.

LENA: That I am so happy that you are our son.

And there is nothing that you can't tell us.

Even if it's something you think we don't want to hear.

STEF: Do you know that most of the time I feel like I have five separate hearts running around outside of me?

It's you kids.

LENA: We chose you, and you chose us.

DNA doesn't make a family.

Love does.

CALLIE: If I had to make a choice, I chose what felt like home.

This is where I found my forever family.

STEF: "There's only one happiness in this life.

To love and to be loved.

" So Brandon told me that Eliza overheard us talking after the graduation party.

I'm sorry I thought you told her.

I know I used to have a hard time keeping secrets, but I've grown up.

Should I go on tour with Mat?

You just said you'd grown up!

I know, but I'm still me!

I gotta have a little flair.

CALLIE: And what about Europe?

Well, Mat's going on tour in Europe.

I thought the whole point was for you to go on your own.

Be more independent.

You can always get back with Mat later if that's what you still want.

Okay, well, what if later is too late?

I think I'm gonna do this.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You okay?

My dad saw you leaving my room, and he freaked out.

I don't have a family like yours.

I can't be whatever I want to be.

Please tell me you didn't hook up with Eliza's little brother.

I didn't.

Are you sure?

'Cause you were nowhere to be found last night.

I hooked up with someone else.

Who?

Some guy I met on an app.

[SCOFFS]

I feel bad for him.

He can't talk to anyone in his family, and he's constantly hitting on girls to compensate for being in the closet.

And what are you compensating for?

Hooking up with all these guys.

Carter doesn't have a family to talk to but you do.

I'm talking.

Yeah, but you're not saying anything.

I'm fine, Callie.

Thought you were running after Mat.

Yeah, you you know I was, but then I realized you were right.

I'm so over him.

You could've told me that you had a girlfriend.

I didn't at the time.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

Well, I lied.

The sex?

Wasn't that great.

EMMA: Hey.

Did you have sex with that girl?

It didn't mean anything.

It felt so weird being with someone who wasn't you.

I-I'm sorry.

I I don't know what to say, Em.

Hey, I-I get it.

I mean, of course you were gonna have sex with somebody the minute we broke up.

I think our problem is that we've been together since we were 15 and 16, and, you know, maybe we need time apart to have other relationships and sex with other people.

I don't want that.

I do not want that.

I-I know.

I don't want that either.

That's why I flew down here.

I'm terrified to be in a world without you.

Why do we have to?

I think we need to figure out who we are without each other.

And if we're truly meant to be then we'll find our way back.

Please stay with me Hey.

So, Stef, what was the inspiration for your tattoo?

Well, I think with the kids going off to college and all, um, wanted to do something special to keep them with us, keep them close.

So, I came up with a family tree.

Well, that is special.

Thank you!

So, Lena?

If you do run for State Assembly, what's your agenda gonna be?

More government spending and social welfare?

- Jim, let's not discuss politics.

- No, no, no, no.

We need to be able to have polite discourse in this country.

Oh, I agree.

I I think my agenda would be to make sure that less government didn't mean less access to equal healthcare, equal education.

Um, or more segregation by income and race.

Then of course, there's my gay agenda.

Oh.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, you had me until "gay agenda.

" He's kidding!

[CHUCKLES]

No, I I it's a non-issue, 'cause I'm not gonna run.

Well, Jim and I discussed it, and if you change your mind, we know some Democratic donors who might host a fundraiser for you.

Well, that is if you can tolerate our less-interesting friends.

[CHUCKLING]

Hey, they're about to make the toast.

You look very happy.

Yeah.

I got the clerkship with Judge Engleman.

Congratulations!

Wow!

So, San Francisco?

Yeah!

It's very damp up there.

Lots of humidity.

Very few good hair days.

Well, I'll just have to suffer through. L. A. , however, boasts year-round good hair days.

In which case, you could possibly have a progressive influence on a conservative judge.

As opposed to, you know, taking the path of least resistance with Engleman, who's already fighting the good fight without you.

And then there's the added bonus of me living in L. A. , so, uh, you'd already have a friend.

Even though I am working for the evil empire.

Tell you now I'm coming home Lord, I see them coming, I want you to know that Pretty good dancer coming home I want you to know that I'm coming home Jumping now, I'm coming home Home to you Home to stay now I want you to know that a pretty good dancer Coming home Coming home STEF: Okay, okay, okay, okay.

No fighting over the washing machine.

- Please.

- JUDE: I call first shower.

Nice one.

Hey.

Are you okay?

No.

Scooch over.

I had an idea.

Yeah?

What if we went to Europe together?

Wait, for real?

Yeah.

You're my best friend.

Don't tell Callie.

I won't.

I hate unpacking.

- Will you do it for me?

- It can wait.

JUDE: Moms?

Hey, bud.

Hey!

- Hi, you're home.

- Hey.

Yeah.

Yeah, how'd you get here, honey?

I took the bus.

Okay.

Does anyone know that you're here?

No, I'm sorry.

I was afraid they wouldn't let you come get me.

Okay, why wouldn't they let us do that?

I saw my mom while you were gone.

Okay.

Did something happen to upset you?

No, no.

She just She really wants me back.

Okay, you know that you do not have to go back with her if you don't want to.

I know.

I I'm just confused.

Honey, it's okay, sweetie.

It's okay to be confused.

[KNOCKS]

- Can I talk to you guys?

- Of course, honey.

I'm failing two classes and I'm on academic probation.

I could lose my scholarship.

What happened?

Can I stay?

I think I thought I was ready to go away to school.

Everyone else was at a big university, except for Jesus and I wanted to prove that I could leave home, and be okay.

But I guess I wasn't.

It's just so easy to feel lost, you know?

So many kids, and so much going on.

[JUDE SNIFFLES]

I, uh just been trying to find ways to make me not feel like this.

Why didn't you tell us, bud?

Everyone's busy with their own stuff.

And, um you guys have Corey to take care of.

I just thought I should handle it on my own.

But, um I miss everyone being home together before everyone went away.

I do too, bud.

I do too.

LENA: And when we were all here together, we were bumping into each other, literally.

And now we have to work a lot harder to keep in touch, and I'm really sorry that we didn't realize how much you've been struggling, honey.

STEF: Thank you for telling us.

Come here.

Come on.

Get up.

STEF [GROWLING]: Oh, you're not too big.

Come here, now!

You, too!

Don't even think you're getting out of this.

- [JUDGE GRUNTS]

- Scooching over, scooching over.

Mmm.

My babies.

ANGELA: And I promise to you this time will be different.

This time, you will come first.

I love you!

You're my baby.

I need you back.

[ANGELA SHUDDERS]

Please say somethin'.

I love you, too, Mom.

[SOBS]

[WHIMPERS]

So, I think We know, bud, we know.

It's okay.

Of course you want to be with your mom.

We're still gonna be a part of your life.

Forever if you want us to be.

Of course I do.

I love you guys.

[CRYING]

We love you too, buddy.

It's okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

Oh, buddy.

Okay, I will.

Love you, too.

All right, bye.

Eliza sends her love, and she's sorry for not being here, but her rehearsal schedule right now is pretty grueling, so.

Aw!

So, how was the honeymoon?

- None of your business.

- [JESUS LAUGHS]

How's, uh, Corey doing?

He's good.

He's good.

We talk to him every day, and, uh, his mother's doing really well.

Very well.

And we are taking him to Disneyland next weekend.

- Can we come?

- I don't wanna go.

- Let's all go.

- STEF: What are you saying?

By the way, I took the job in L. A.

STEF: Really?

With the conservative judge?

Why?

To be closer to you.

Well, I took the job in Silicon Valley to be closer to you in San Francisco.

Well, don't you also have an offer in L. A ?

We could be roomies.

Hmm.

Um, so I asked everyone to come to dinner tonight, because, uh, I've been talking with the kids about you running for State Assembly.

We decided.

I'm not doing that.

We We want you to do it.

Women need to be running, and we need people like you to get into politics, and change the way things are being done.

We all support you.

Absolutely.

Even if that means selling the house.

Are you sure about this?

I wasn't until that conversation we had with Jim and Diane in Turks.

Oh, God, what'd they say?

They were actually kinda supportive.

What what about our house?

Our home?

We're all in agreement, Mama.

[CHUCKLES]

[STAMMERING]

I just can't imagine us not all sitting around this table together.

We'll take the table with us!

[ALL CHUCKLING]

And the memories.

- Let's do this.

- Really?

- Let's do it!

- I'm so proud of you.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

I want to be campaign manager.

I want to be the speech writer.

Packing already?

I'm just taking a few things back to L. A.

I'm glad you took the job there.

Yeah!

I'm sure Eliza will be thrilled.

I can't wait for all the awkward dinner parties.

Eliza's good with you.

We, um made the right choice.

I know.

I mean, if we'd have chosen each other over the family, who knows what would have happened?

Hmm, probably would have flamed out.

- Definitely.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

And, you know, who knows if we'd even be in each other's lives anymore.

This way I get to have you forever.

You're my best friend.

You, too.

Don't tell Mariana.

[BOTH LAUGH]

You sure we shouldn't try and take it?

We already replanted it once.

Afraid if we took it out of the soil, we could shock it.

Besides, Frankie's tree belongs here.

I'm gonna miss this house.

[CHUCKLES]

And the backyard.

We threw so many great parties.

- Renewed our vows more than once.

- Mm-hmm.

This is a new chapter for us, too.

And there's no one I'd rather write it with.

Close our eyes Wait until the moment's right Here we go.

Step into the cold daylight And see it for the first time Changing sea An accident of gravity Will you still remember me When all of this is over

[STEF SIGHS]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Are we ready to do this?

Love floods out -

- Even in the darkest doubt Everything we have is now Okay, you guys.

One last picture.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

It's gonna take a few sh*ts, so don't break up all at once.

JESUS: You gonna be in it?

- CALLIE: Okay, it's blinking!

- Hurry up, hurry up!

Smile!
