‘The Fosters’ season 3, episode 16 preview: Is Brandon’s senior thesis in jeopardy?

While a senior thesis from Brandon may not at this point had the same sort of ramifications around it on “The Fosters” as what has been going on with Stef and with Jesus, there are some serious subjects that are starting to be addressed here on next week’s new episode entitled “EQ.” For example, is it possible that Brandon’s musical will promote suicide and cause problems for Anchor Beach … or is school trying to block art and being overly conservative about things?

If you want to get some other news as to what to expect in this installment, take a look at the official synopsis below:

“Brandon’s senior thesis is in jeopardy when a student raises concerns about the play glorifying suicide, leaving the school honor board to vote on whether or not his Romeo and Juliet musical can be performed at Anchor Beach. Rita’s (guest star Rosie O’Donnell) daughter Chloe reaches out to Callie after Rita refuses to take her calls. Meanwhile, Stef teaches a class on handling emotion as part of a Youth Outreach Program.”

Let’s also hope that by the time we make it to the end of the road here, things get sorted out for Brandon and his real intentions are felt. We don’t think that the musical is meant to trivialize suicide at all; instead, it’s more about two people suffering under the weight of social struggles. It’s also Brandon channeling his emotions, and it is art. This is about him trying to tell a story.
