Well, that was equal parts intense and terrifying and uplifting, wasnt it?
Malikas still in holding after the court increased her bail to $250,000.
If its not paid, shell be sent to a womens prison nearby.
They have a petition to deliver to DA Hansen asking her to drop all the charges.
When Hansen ignores them, they stage a sit-in right there outside her office at the courthouse.
Theyre not leaving until theyre heard.
Also, Malika ends up in holding with a few other women waiting for arraignment hearings.
Sure, Callies there for a different client, but shes a familiar face and thats not nothing.
Its so sweet it almost makes you want to try out communal living.
Anyway, things dont exactly look great for Malika, but they arent completely dire.
Okay, fine, things get much, much worse before they get better.
And a lot of the problems are tied to the Act-ivism app.
Marianas first instinct is to ban the most offensive users and hope the problem goes away.
That app is her baby.
This course of action only makes things worse.
Banning users only gets the hate groups fired up and even more begin creating accounts on the app.
They even use it to organize a counterprotest at the courthouse where the sit-in for Malika is taking place.
Thats where Mariana comes face-to-face with what her app has turned into.
This scene is stomach-churning, to say the least.
Mariana is visibly shaken.
She needs to tell Evan so he can shut the whole thing down.
She knows that Act-ivism is now forever linked to these white-supremacist groups anyway.
Its too late to save it.
That conversation with Evan, however, doesnt go exactly as Mariana had assumed it would.
He wont shut down the app.
This isnt a both-sides situation, theres a right and wrong here.
Ultimately though, its Evans company and she cant do anything about it.
Well, there is one thing she can do.
Mariana quits her job.
Who doesnt love a walk out in a blaze of glory moment?
So, Marianas having atimeof it, what about her sister?
Its Callies first day as a real, live lawyer!
Well, not exactly, but she has a similar punch in of win in the courtroom.
Since Kathleen Gale has no clients, the team heads to the court of arraignment to find some.
Shed rather take the plea deal even though the charge is crap.
Kathleen then gives Callie a big ol lesson about being a lawyer.
Theres a man there who people could easily assume is her father, but hes not.
Its all a manipulation by Kathleen.
She tells Callie that you better read the judge, read the jury, and put on a show.
Callie Adams Foster is a fast learner.
She also talks openly about her time in the foster-care system.
She is very good.
The judge brings down Yvonnes bail as low as he can.
Its still too much for Yvonne to pay, but luckily, she doesnt have to pay it.
Most of them are mothers and need to get out more than she does.
So with paying bail out of the question, what will become of Malika?
Thankfully, her team is working hard on a plan B.
Specifically, Gael and Dyonte are working on a plan B.
They use all of the footage Gaels been taking and create an ad exposing where DA Hansens loyalties lie.
It immediately goes viral … and Im happy to report that means that she drops the charges against Malika.
This nightmare is over (lets hope).
And then they dance.
They really needed to dance.
Family Dinner
Alice gets into the CBTV Comedy Diversity Workshop!
It isnt easy: Shes prepping for her audition when she learns about the sit-in for Malika.
While at the sit-in, Kelly has a great idea: Alice should do her set there.
So many people are pulling for Alice!
Its funny because its true.
So, so true.
Joining this committee would put that in jeopardy.
So do we think theres going to be some kind of reveal with Kathleen Gale?
Everyone seems surprised that she would leave her cushy gig to start a nonprofit firm seemingly overnight.
The other attorneys who followed her insist its all very unlike her.
A love triangle is brewing, people.
Its so nice to have the Adams Foster sisters back together again!
