We knew that this was a very possible outcome at this point.

And then I was like, Nope.

Im gonna do it.

Youll always be with us.

But what about that look on Callies face when Brandon announced he was engaged?

So what youre saying is that they are not endgame?

And you werent just in Turks and Caicos filming their wedding?Im not saying that.

So how was Turks and Caicos?It was beautiful.

Its going to be a really fun, juicy, satisfying ride for the fans.

And it was ridiculously gorgeous.

Theres something about shooting on location that really just cements an atmosphere of family.

What is Stefs new career?Youll find out in the three episodes.

Its a very fun reveal.

All will be revealed.

I certainly thought that, too but that was before anyone knew there was any sort of time-jump.

Now I think were not going to see Mike and Anas wedding and just have to assume it happened.

It seems unlikely that they would still be engaged after five years.You are correct.

We unfortunately just ran out of real estate, as much as we love them.

Mike and Ana are long married at this point.

Coming out of this period of time, theres big changes afoot for all members ofThe Fostersfamily.

in five years, so Callies out of law school.

Shes studying for the bar and shes clerking for a judge.

Youre working seven days a week and its a fascinating dynamic.

And Im guessing well see other family members cycle in and out at varying times?Absolutely we will.

This family is very connected to each other.

They dont take each other for granted.

They still both really value a sense of family, and that will pervade the whole series.
