Part one of our The Fosters 1×01 flashback recap concluded with a simultaneously awkward and touching moment: Callie declared Brandon to be “the real son” of the family and used the D-word to describe Stef and Lena, while Jesus laid the verbal smackdown by telling Callie, “They prefer the term ‘people,’ but, yeah, they’re gay.” It’s safe to say Callie did not make a great first impression, prompting Stef and Lena to address the fallout as The Fosters 1×01 continued. Here’s part two of our flashback recap.

How long has it been since you watched the pilot episode of The Fosters? The show’s season 4 premiere is steadily drawing closer (in case you missed it, Freeform recently released a gripping preview) but there are still a few weeks left to go, so we decided to put together a flashback recap of The Fosters 1×01 to make the wait a little easier.

What’s a flashback recap? In a nutshell, it’s an episodic recap with the benefit of hindsight – 62 episodes and three seasons’ worth of hindsight, to be specific. If you can believe it, the show first aired on Freeform (then ABC Family) three years ago, when The Fosters 1×01 introduced us to the colorful cast of characters we still love – and sometimes love to hate – today.
