The Coterie is an extraordinarily busy place this week.
Weve got a super-important Byte Club meeting!
Weve got a maybe-wedding!
Weve got not one buttwofantasy dance sequences!
), but on the other, thats a whole lot of ground to cover for one episode.
Although several story lines take big moves forward in their development (yay!
), many are simply teeing themselves up for season two.
Thankfully, season twoarrives in June(!
), so we wont have to wait too long to see how some of these play out.
Listen, Callie is a great character and her development fromThe FostersintoGood Troublehas felt authentic.
(Itdoesprove that!!)
Old Callie definitely wouldve stolen it because she was self-destructive and never thought about long-term effects of her actions.
But New Callie doesnt!
Did we even needone?
Shes been torn between these things almost the entire season.
Theres nothing new there.
This mans life was in the balance!
Anyway, Im crying about it again.
Im much more invested in that story line than extended fantasy dance sequences.
Which is saying something because Im typically a sucker for musical moments.
Let us move forward, shall we?
(Im an emotional TV viewer, what can I say?)
Last we left Alice, Sumi had confessed her love.
Alice is her soul mate!
She cant marry Meera!
And now, Sumi calls off the wedding via text.
Its a good move since she didnt love Meera, but a text is real cold, girl.
Alice is finally moving forward, and its about time.
Unfortunately, it wont be with Joey.
Its become clear to her that Alice is still ashamed to be gay and thats not fair to Joey.
I dont know whats gotten into Alice tonight, but I like it.
Instead of wallowing in her breakup, Alice is making a change.
She calls her parents!
She is going to come out to them!
Lets hope that, rid of fear and guilt, Alice starts truly living next season.
So thats the good cry for the evening.
Dom is beside himself and Malika has to be strong for him.
But alone, Malika breaks down.
Can you even imagine the multitude of emotions shes feeling?
Second, this tragedy may bring Malika and Dom closer together.
She sends him an invite to her graduation party and he says hell be there.
Its time to stop crying because we have some clapping to do.
And maybe some squealing.
Was that just me?
Mariana has a tough choice to make.
But Mariana wonders if maybe thats not the best strategy.
Theyre also out on a fire escape for this conversation, which gives it an extra-swoony feel.
Mission accomplished,Good Trouble, I am swooning.
So release it she does!
Before he can do that, Mariana stands up.
Shes not going to let Angela get fired over this!
I hacked into HR and posted the salaries online, she says.
Shes willing to take the fall.
And then Casey stands up: I did it.
I hacked into HR and posted the salaries online.
Every Byte Club member follows even Raj stands up and admits to it.
Josh is finally getting whats coming to him.
Evan really, really does not want her to leave.
Which makes her decision all the more obvious.
There is one catch: Anything she was developing while under contract belongs to the company.
So even if she goes, her Activism App stays.
That makes things complicated.
Finally, after a season of wonderful slow-burn romantic buildup, they do.
And I cannot wait to see what happens to these two nerds with feelings next.
Weve only just begun Jamals trial and already it is wildly frustrating.
Theres no one else she can talk to about it!
Oh, okay, Gael coming through with making his true feelings known.
Hes like, really, really into Callie.
Davia gets an answer to the Vivian mystery!
Her dad is real, but yes, they are currently homeless.
Hes working two jobs to save up for an apartment.
That story needs a conclusion perhaps another casualty of the dancing dreams.
Oh, and Jeff shows up to tell Davia he left his wife.
