* KarmaHoudini: It's been three episodes, and she still has yet to suffer any repercussions for selling her brother's important medications.

None

Added DiffLines:

* SpoiledBrat: Refuses to be happy for her friend and her brother simply because it will ruin her party. That's the entire reason why they didn't want to tell her before the party.

Added DiffLines:

* ShallowLoveInterest: For Jesus. We really don't know much about her other than the fact that she's Mariana's best friend.

Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Is perfectly nice to Brandon, but seems to be doing all she can to get Callie sent away. Every time any of their conversations steers toward Callie, she asks, "Has she been sent away yet?" [[spoiler: However, if the trailer for the next episode is any indication, Brandon does eventually see through her act.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AlphaBitch: To an extent. [[spoiler: She spread rumours that it was Callie, not Mariana, who was selling pills and snoped around Callie's things to find anything that might be useful to her. All in an attempt to maintain her relationship with Brandon/drive Callie away.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: When Jude [[spoiler: misses the required 65 on the exam to stay in Oceanside by one question, she changes one of his answers so that he passes. That said, she's definitely conflicted over it.]]

* BerserkButton: Her lesbianism and Lena. When [[spoiler: Brandon calls her out on (among other things), that he had no choice in the matter of having two moms (he was five when his parents divorced), Stef quickly loses her cool. Only the fact that Brandon storms out of the house and Lena jumps in prevents her from saying something she might regret.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Seems to have confidence issues in regards to her relationship with Brandon.
* GoodCopBadCop: In the parenting sense, Stef tends to play bad cop and overall is a lot stricter than Lena.



* WickedStepmother: Averted. She's really nice and Brandon considers her his other mom - more so than he considers his biological dad his dad. That said, bio-dad thinks of her in this way and seems intent on undermining Lena's relationship and authority over Brandon.

Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Fights to keep Jude in school even though he's woefully unprepared for the tests that the school has to give to maintain funding and she realizes that Jude skipping past the waiting list could seem like Nepotism. The reason she does so is that she realizes that separating Jude and Callie again would be tramatic for the both of them and that the reason Jude is behind to begin with is because he's had practically no educational stability.

* ClingyJealousGirl
ClingyJealousGirl: Though in her defense, Brandon unintentionally does things to strain their relationship.

Added DiffLines:

* WholesomeCrossdresser: We only have one instance of this so whether it's a one time thing or not is unclear. [[spoiler: But his previous foster dad caught him goofing around with a dress and promptly started to beat the crap out of him. This is what prompted Callie to beat the crap out of the guy's car with a bat and land her in juvie.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Callieis fresh out of juvie, [[spoiler: though if the pilot is any indication, she doesn't really have any sort of rebel streak. The people she's lived with before the Fosters and her birth parents, on the other hand, may have been less than stellar]].

to:

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Initially appears to be the foolish sibling to Mariana's responsible sibling, but is actually revealed to be the more responsible one. In the pairing of Jesus and Brandon, it's more straightforward.



* HonorBeforeReason: Partially as a side effect of his ADHD (it makes him more impulsive in the moment), but he tends to be pretty overtly protective of those around him in the most direct way possible even if it's maybe not the smartest approach. He offers advice to Brandon, stands up to a jock twice his size who's hassling Lexi, and [[spoiler: spontaneously takes the blame for selling his medication instead of Mariana.]]



* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Is willing to sell Jesus' important medications for money.

to:

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Is willing to sell Jesus' important medications for money. [[spoiler: Then lets her siblings take the fall for doing so when caught - first Callie (who doesn't resist since she's learned from previous foster parents that her status as an outsider gives her zero credibility), then Jesus (who takes the bullet to protect her).]]


Added DiffLines:

* MommyIssues: Not with her moms but with her birth mother. But it does spill over into her relationship with her moms. When she feels guilty that Callie has taken the blame for something she's done, she tells Jesus that if she confesses, she fears that Stef and Lena will stop loving her.


Added DiffLines:


* GenreBlind: It takes his brother Jesus (nominally the rebel between the two) to point out that when your girlfriend catches you hanging out with another cute girl (who also happens to be living with you for the indeterminate future), your girlfriend will probably be jealous in the least. Jesus later suggests Brandon do something big and nice for Talya in compensation, [[spoiler: to which Brandon ultimately stands up Talya in order to hang out with Callie]].
