All sorts of secrets are outed, some intentionally with good reason, others accidentally that probably should have stayed buried for now.
As much as I love Mariana, she is the worst possible person to confide anything to. She is constitutionally incapable of keeping a secret that is not her own. While I do think she did the right thing by telling Lena and Monte what Jude told her, if I were him, I never would have told her in the first place. I get why he didn't want to say anything, after all, he was there after hours and for not the best reason. But something like that needed to be shared/
That being said, Mariana's "anonymous" Twitter account is going to cause a ton of problems. First, she tweeted about the school potentially becoming private before Lena told her and Brandon not to say anything and then there was the post Jesus saw about Emma's abortion. Mariana, your complete inability to keep something a secret is the reason people don't confide in you. Emma was going through something really, really hard and she knew that she could rely on Brandon. Mariana is entirely too quick to judge and doesn't really think about how things affect other people. Granted, a lot of that is because she is the stereotypical teenage girl (sorry, but she does fit that particular bill!), but still, it gets annoying sometimes. Brandon is right, Jesus is not in any position to handle a baby right now and Emma isn't either. Could she have carried the baby to term and the given it up for adoption? Sure, but that would have caused more problems and stress for Jesus, which would have been a bad idea. I get that Mariana is upset about what Emma did, but she really doesn't get a voice in it.
So Stef and Lena are all caught up on the abortion and whatnot. They reacted pretty much as I would have expected. After questioning Brandon a bit, they acknowledged that he had done the right thing and thanked him for it. I hope that they talk with Emma before talking with her parents or before either Jesus or Mariana talk with them. Emma didn't want to tell them and I think it is incumbent on everyone else to respect that. But, given Jesus' temper and Mariana's inability to keep a secret, I worry that one of them will say something to her parents, which is going to open a whole new can of worms.
As for Mariana and Ana, I am not sure what to think. Both Mariana and Jesus have independently had similar memories, so it is possible that something like what they are remembering did happen. It is also possible that they are not remembering accurately, particularly since they are talking about memories from such a young age. The conception of time is a whole lot different when you are a kid, so it is possible that what they are remembering as a day or more was not that long. Then again, it is also entirely possible that Ana did leave them alone for that long when she was on drugs.
As much as Brandon may dislike it, I can't say I totally blame Stef for being a little concerned where he and Callie are concerned. We have heard his empathetically say that he wouldn't do anything with her, but we know he did. I do think that the two of them are in a better place now to be friends, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. But Stef's concern is not completely groundless. Then again, neither is Brandon's frustration. But he does have to realize that his past actions have put his judgment into question, so he does need to deal with it in a way that does not involve blowing up at Stef.
Poor Callie, Her former foster brother is now saying that he is guilty of the murder and that he used her, and she used him. Was he a cause to her? Yes. But she cared deeply about his being free if he was innocent, so the cause was just. I don't know if we can believe him, so I hope we get a more definitive answer later on. I do think it is very possible that he didn't commit the murder, but said he did in order to get her to go away or because he is mad at her.
And Stef now knows that Diamond is still communicating with her pimp. Hopefully, she can use what she is discovering to take down the pimp and get Diamond out of the situation she is in.
Next week, the season finale. Until then!
