‘The Fosters’ season 4 spoilers: Secrets unveiled and more in ‘Justify’

When it comes to the story of “The Fosters” season 4, we can clearly say that the show’s executive producers are not taking any shortcuts or easy ways out of tricky situations. After all, they are dealing with everything from past secrets to Nick and Mariana’s relationship head-on.

Over the course of Monday’s episode, Mariana could not bring herself to tell Nick that their relationship was over in the way of the incident that transpired. She was fearful that he would hurt himself if she decided to break up with him, and in turn, she is basically jeopardizing her own happiness for the sake of someone else’s. It is an incredibly difficult position for someone to be in, and that is probably only amplified because of her age.

You will get a chance to see the continuation of this and many other stories on the upcoming August 1 episode entitled “Justify,” and you can see the official synopsis for it below:

“Lena is shocked by the news that her dad has been hiding something that directly puts them all in jeopardy. Additionally, she uncovers a major secret that Brandon has been keeping. Mariana continues to be pressured by Nick and must deal with direct opposition from the male members on her STEAM team.

“Meanwhile, Jesus grows resentful of Emma’s behavior, and Jude discovers Noah has a medical marijuana card.”

We’re certainly interested in whatever is going to be happening with Lena as well as Brandon in this episode, but given that we’ve still got an episode in between where we are now and this one airing, it’s a little harder to have proper context.
