she will be staying for a while. He greets Callie and puts a slice of lasagna onto her plate when she impolitely asks if Brandon came from a 99-cent store and asks if he is the "real" son, which makes everyone uncomfortable. Afterward, Stef tells Brandon that he needs to step up while Callie is in the house; she tells him that Callie was in juvie for a brief time, which alarms him, but Stef reassures him that she is harmless. Before leaving, she asks whether or not he and his girlfriend Talya are using condoms, to which he shoves her out. Later that night, Callie later sneakily borrows his phone to call Jude.

The following day, Brandon practices for the music finals before school begins. Callie watches him play an unfamiliar melody and asks him what it is, to which he informs is an original composition about the night Stef and Lena asked his permission to adopt Jesus and Mariana. And Callie was confused, so Brandon played his piece while describing it. Talya then enters and kisses Brandon, when he asks if she could walk Callie to Mr. Timothy's room. Later, Brandon and Talya talk about getting together while her parents are out of town. When Brandon sees Callie suspiciously walking away from the school, he follows her, much to Talya's dismay. During all this, Brandon keeps on getting mysterious phone calls. He learns that Jude is not Callie's boyfriend, but her brother, and tries to convince her to tell Stef. Callie refuses and tells him that she would only be sent back to juvie, and that Jude would be stuck there forever.

She tells him as he was getting into the police car that what she said about her and Wyatt wasn’t true. At the police station, Stef and Brandon’s dad grill Brandon about what really happened. He says he bought the fake ids and booze because he needed the money. But he realized what he was doing was wrong, so he bought them back. He said that he needed the money to pay his dad back for piano lessons, because the money he had to pay his dad went to Ana. He payed off Ana, the lady who approached Stef for ten thousand dollars, so she would change her testimony and they would not have to go to trial. This was the end of the episode.

Adoption Day

The episode opens right where we left off Brandon, Mike and Stef in the cop car discussing what the repercussions should be for Brandon’s previous actions (from the fake I.Ds to giving Ana money). Outside of the police car, Stef tells Mike about the chat she had with Ana earlier; where if Stef didn't give Ana $10,000 she would retract her statement. Upon hearing this, Mike is flabbergasted. “I could kill her.” But Stef suggests that he just stay away from both her and Brandon. She then decides that Brandon is moving out of Mike’s and coming back to live with her. End of story. At Mike’s, Brandon is seen in his room packing away when his father walks in. He says that Stef has agreed in letting him stay for one more night (so he can practice for his big audition). Brandon tries to apologize about everything to him but Mike cuts him off. He says he’s never been more disappointed in him. While Brandon is practicing his piano at Mike’s, he gets interrupted by someone knocking at the door. It’s Callie. She wants the final verdict on where they both stand; if Brandon is really and truly okay with Callie being adopted into this family. Brandon simply says he’s fine with it and that she isn’t hurting him by getting adopted. Brandon is seen sprawled in a recliner at Mike’s, beer in hand and heaps more empty ones on the coffee table. Dani comes in, sees how drunk he is (answer: very) and starts leading him to bed. After she successfully puts him in bed, he begins raving about how Callie is going to be his sister and how he still has feelings for her. Dani sits down with him and says that he’s a great guy and that Callie doesn’t know what she’s missing (the typical “you’re too good for her” speech). But that’s when things go from “casual conversation” (somewhat) to “completely out of line”. Next thing we know, Brandon has leaned in for a kiss from Dani. One things leads into another and the two well…get very intimate very fast and very inappropriately. The following morning, Brandon wakes up to the alarm that Dani previously set for him (so he wouldn’t miss his big audition). Dani is nowhere to be found. Brandon checks his Dad’s room. Mike isn’t in his bed either. But it’s then that Brandon looks at his phone and sees that he has a voice mail message from his Dad. The second he listens to it, he knows his father’s been drinking. Not knowing who else to call, he dials none other then, Dani. He asks if perhaps she could track Mike down for him.

In Consequently, Brandon and Callie's relationship was hinted as he ditched his girlfriend, Talya, who had become jealous, in order to play music with Callie. Their relationship grows stronger when Brandon becomes jealous of Wyatt. After Callie and Brandon have their first kiss in I Do, Callie runs away due to an argument she has with Jude after Jude sees them kissing. In House and Home, Brandon tells his moms that the reason Callie ran away was that he kissed her.

Stef and Lena try to convince him that it's just a phase, but he fights back by saying that he loves her. He then overhears which group home Callie is staying in and goes there to find her. Callie sees Brandon standing across the street and runs out of the house to hug him for the first time since the wedding. Throughout Callie's time at the group home, Brandon and Callie dated and met up a few times behind the family's back. However, Callie decided to focus on her own self-growth while at the group home and gave up the phone that she used to contact Brandon. They eventually break up in Padre after they realized Callie needed a family more than a boyfriend.

Since then, they formed a sibling and best-friend bond as opposed to a romantic one. This proved difficult for them, and they did have sex under the belief that Callie would never be adopted. After a difficult time contemplating what to do, Brandon told Callie that a family is what she truly needs and they put their relationship in the past. When questioned about the relationship by an adoption judge, Callie informed him that their relationship was strictly platonic. In Where the Heart Is, after five years, Brandon married Eliza Hunter. Brandon and Callie found closure with one another, acknowledging they did the right thing choosing the family over them and that they are best friends.
