‘The Fosters’ season 4, episode 4 preview: Mariana visits Nick — but why?

If you saw some of the recent trailers regarding “The Fosters,” then you already know a thing or two about Nick’s eventual return. However, it’s not a situation where he is getting out; instead, Mariana is going to be paying him a visit. It’s a bold move for her, especially when you consider some of the danger that he put her through during the first two episodes of the season.

The synopsis below for next week’s new episode “Now for Then” makes it a little bit clearer what you can expect not only from Mariana, but with every other main character to boot:

“Callie starts her senior project of photographing the outside of her and Jude’s seven former foster homes. But, when an unexpected encounter with a former foster mother brings her inside, Callie decides to reach out to other people who have fostered her and is shocked to learn that a 17-year-old former foster brother has been convicted of murder. Stressed out by the hardships of supporting himself and Cortney, Brandon throws a house party and things take a turn for the worse. Stef and Lena offer to pay for an attorney to help get Gabe off of the sex offender registry, which is currently putting Lena’s job at risk and causing friction between Mike and Ana.

“Meanwhile, Mariana tells her moms that, in order to feel safe again, she wants to visit Nick and put an end to their relationship once and for all.”

Clearly, there are a lot of big events taking place here in general, and the show is not forgetting about loose threads from season 3, including Gabe. We’ll have more on this episode as we get closer and closer to it airing.
