‘The Fosters’ season 3, episode 10 (summer finale) spoilers: More tension between Lena, Stef

At this point in “The Fosters,” it’s pretty clear that Stef and Lena are fighting for more than just seeing if they can adopt Callie; they also have to figure out whether or not their relationship can continue. They’ve been through their fair share of ups and downs already, and this is going to continue on Monday night’s summer finale “Lucky” in the midst of the revelations about Monte.

The primary subject of this sneak peek below is whether or not Stef and Lena are anywhere close to being in a place where they can actually host a party. It definitely doesn’t seem like they are, but in a way it may be a form of distraction for them. This can either go one of two different ways:

1. Sometimes, it takes being around other people to remind you why you really care about the other person so much.

2. Of course, it’s also possible that this goes in completely the other direction, and in being around other people and pretending to put on a good face, the tension only grows between Stef and Lena to a point where they start to explode on each other with relatives around.

We do hope that they make it through all of this eventually, even if we realize that this is not a problem that is going to be solved for them overnight. They do love each other, but here and there they do have to remember that you have to trust all the time. Sooner or later, secrets are going to get out.
