Series[]
Justina joins Stef, Lena, and Callie in their backyard to talk about advancing Fost and Found, telling Callie she’s the spokesperson the foster care community needs. She says that she has the resources Callie needs to expand and get her message out. Lena is a little hesitant about all of this, as this is Callie’s senior year and she has a lot going on.
Later, Callie welcomes Justina into their house so Mariana can help her set up her administrator’s Fost and Found account.
Callie checks the comments on her Fost and Found page. One of them asks if she had sex with her foster brother.
Callie continues to read the comments on Fost and Found, the comment about Brandon still bothering her.
Daphne asks Callie for an update on Fost and Found. Callie says that Justina wants to have a low-key photoshoot with her next week. Justina wants Callie to be a role model. Daphne says there’s nothing wrong with that. She then realizes that the person who commented could have been talking about Liam, not Brandon.
Mariana informs Callie that her pictures are already up on Fost and Found and nice comments are pouring in. Callie smiles at the compliments, but one, in particular, telling her she looks super catches her eye. She messages the person, asking them if they’re AJ.
Callie asks Mariana if she can track the location of someone who’s messaging her on Fost and Found. Mariana says that she can, and the location of the person is, indeed, in San Diego.
Callie runs into her old boss, Rafael, at a cafe. He compliments her on Fost and Found and congratulates her on her adoption.
Callie learns that AJ isn't her admirer on Fost and Found, that someone was catfishing her.
Under Water Callie meets with her investor, Justina. Callie admires how professional the website now looks and Justina says they’re averaging 10,000 users a week, which will only continue to grow when they launch the phone app. Callie expresses concern that some kids have been having trouble uploading or keeping their content up on the site. Justina says she’ll talk to the moderators, but it could be that the comments were inappropriate.
Callie says that moderating content goes against the whole point of Fost and Found. The site supposed to be a safe place for kids to share their uncensored stories. Justina defends the moderating, saying it’s supposed to be a safe place for kids to speak out without the threat of bullying. Just the other day someone made a nasty accusation about Callie and they had to take it down. They don’t want anyone tearing her down with lies. Justina admits that she had her people track the address of the person pretending to be AJ and it led to Jude’s computer.
Justina tells Stef, Lena, and Callie that the work they’ve been doing has been getting a lot of attention, and they have been invited to the White House for a foster care symposium. Callie is thrilled at the prospect.
Rita compliments Callie on how great the new Fost and Found app looks. Callie reveals that she’s been invited to the White House, but she’s not sure if her moms will let her go as they aren't thrilled about the reform bill she’s been working on with Justina.People Involved[]
