Brandon reminds her that she deserves justice for what Liam did even if she did save Sarah.
Brandon asks about Callie's whereabouts, and she is supposedly at her guitar lessons told by Jude. Brandon and Jude are later folding place mats. Brandon asks Jude if everything is alright since he caught Brandon and Callie making out. Jude resents him for saying so as he thinks he only has interest in knowing if he will inform people of the kiss. He asks him: "So what? You think you will be with my sister now?" He tells him that they can't be together as they won't adopt the siblings. Brandon replies saying that they will figure out a conclusion on the situation.

Brandon is filled with guilt when he finds out that Callie has bolted again, and Jude walks away. Later, Brandon visits Jude in his Jude shared with Jesus. Brandon tells Jude that ever since Callie left, he has been hopelessly figuring out why Callie ran away. He thought that she was with Wyatt; she might still be into him. He realized that she didn't run away with Wyatt, but she ran away from him. Jude is overwhelmed at the situation, and he says that he completely screwed this up and apologizes.

He gets angry and storms out. Mike, Stef, and Lena discuss the situation with Brandon, then Stef gets ready to head back to work for the first time since being shot. Stef tells Mike that he should be able to come to work with her, he tells her not to worry, it will work itself out. Brandon meets up with Callie during her field trip. Brandon calls his instructor to tell him he can’t take lessons anymore. He puts the money away. Cole used Callie cell phone and send Brandon a ext breaking up with him.
Brandon was completely blindsided by Callie text. He was still trying to reach her the next day just to get an explanation. He needs to know if he did something that made her mad enough to break up to break up with her. He has no idea that Callie lost her phone and won’t be able to reach him. Brandon was allowed to come along on the trip. He promised his moms he wouldn’t try anything. He just wanted to see her. So they agreed. They knew what risks they were taking and did it anyway. Brandon had found a moment alone to talk to Callie. He was bound to do it. Brandon wanted to know why they broke up and she explained everything. How she didn’t have her phone so couldn’t have sent the message. They were interrupted before they could properly make up.
Brandon wanted announce his relationship with Callie at his grandfather’s funeral was a good idea. Callie advised him against it. Brandon found the necklace and safely returned it to Callie. He realized she would have to give up their family once he saw her with his mother. It made he accept that Callie is going to need more than just him.
Brandon learns Mike has a new girlfriend, Dani. Brandon goes to great lengths to pay Mike back for piano lessons. Brandon has to get his dad’s money back and one bad decision tends to lead to another. He’s going to sell exams to the student body. He rather steal his mom’s keys to the Vice Principal Office than tell anyone he blew through Mike’s money. He knows they won’t be satisfy with an “I’m sorry”. They’re going to want him to confess what he spent it on. Brandon is on a downward spiral but is he going to take Callie with him.
Brandon’s new friend, Vico, is the real bad influence. He took Brandon out to a bar. Then after hearing about all of his troubles with Callie, Vico offered to be his wing man. The only thing that stopped Brandon from going home with some random stranger was running into his dad’s girlfriend. The very same woman, Mike met through AA meetings. Brandon began to worry about more than himself. Brandon is scared the girlfriend might hurt his dad’s s chance at sobriety. Mike has fallen off the wagon before and he doesn’t want that to happen again. He let Vico in to use the facilities and his friend betrayed him. He went outside of their plans to make some extra money. When Brandon found out what he did he told Vico to return the items or get anonymously turned in.
When Brandon had heard about it through Vico, he confronted Callie. She tried to tell her to stay away from that scene and she called him out on hypocrisy. She did all of this as a test to draw him out which he obviously failed. Callie knows that he’s helping Vico sell fake IDs and that they were the ones that stole the e-readers.Brandon hates letting Callie down. So he bought all the fake IDs he helped Vico make. Not that it will help Callie much seeing as their parents have forbidden from seeing her friends but it did prove to Callie that Brandon wasn’t as much of a bad guy as she thought. He helped get the e-readers back and he stopped himself from partaking in a felony. Vico just doesn’t see it that way. Brandon got the IDs back by saying they were a bad batch. This ruined Vico’s reputation and he wasn’t ready to let the gravy train stop running. That’s why he’s getting revenge and who better to go through than Callie. He knows how much Brandon is in love with her. Brandon wanted to tell his dad everything but his father’s new girlfriend stopped him. She didn’t want him to get into trouble or so she claims. Dani gave him the money to pay back his father. This way Brandon admitted to what to steal and couldn’t. Which much less than what he did with the money. Like bribing witnesses.
Brandon thanked Dani for the money to give to his dad and he started to play the piano again.
The episode starts with Brandon and Callie at school in the music room. They talk about everything that has happened. With his parent’s adopting all of these children and his love for music coming back. Bran don at his dad’s house and his dad’s girlfriend. The girlfriend says that if he wants Callie back he needs to tell her now before that Wyatt guy takes over. The episode then shows Wyatt accepting a text from Callie and him sleeping in his car. Brandon asks Callie to dance, and they dance. Meanwhile back in the bathroom there are kids drinking alcohol illegally. The episode then swings back to Brandon and Callie who says she is tired of being judged by everyone. He agrees but it is because he is mad that she did not meet up with him the other day. They talk about being together, but she really wants a family; and, when she is adopted by Lena and Stef, technically Callie and Brandon would be brother and sister. She does not want to mess up the family dynamic by dating her foster brother. He then tells her to tell him something to make him get over her. She tells him that when she and Wyatt ran away together, that they slept together. Brandon then goes to the principal and the police to tell them that he was the one with the fake ids and alcohol because he was trying to get back at Callie. He said that he thought that they felt the same way, but obviously she did not care about him as much as he cared about her and he was hurt because of that. Stef then told the police to arrest him. After he is taken away, Callie then realizes that it was Brandon’s friend trying to get back at him through Callie. 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.
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.
Brandon learned that Vigo had broken most of the bones in his hand.
Brandon meets Lou and becomes interested in joining the band.
In the effort to get Lou to not treat him like shit, he hosts a party for the band to perform at the Fosters home while Stef and Lena are away. He ends up playing "Outlaws" with Lou backing him.
When Lou wants the band to use Outlaws, he felt like he was betraying Callie.
