‘The Fosters’ season 3 finale spoilers: Maia Mitchell teases Callie’s reaction to Jack shocker

This past episode of “The Fosters” was a devastating one, and it certainly surprised us since going into it, we expected the story of “The Show” to be more about the Romeo & Juliet musical put on by Brandon.

Instead, Stef ended up learning that Jack, a young man center to Callie’s plight to help change the foster system, was killed following a terrible incident of domestic violence. This is going to be a major catalyst for change the rest of the season, and as star Maia Mitchell tells TV Guide, this is going to push her to make change even more than anything else has so far:

“This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, and you’re really going to see her react and get quite fired up. You’re going to see her make some choices and some moves … She’s been a little bit of a follower and a sheep in the system. You’ll see Jack’s death make Callie come into her own. She’s fueled by this rage that she feels about the system and privatization as well. The curtains are back on [privatization] and she sees it for what it is.”

We definitely expect that there will be some more moves made on Callie’s part before the finale ends, but there will probably be a mix of her being proactive and also her simply trying to process what happened. Somewhere along the way, you can probably also expect her to try to navigate some of the relationships in her life, which could be made even more complicated by some of the decisions Brandon makes with Cortney.
