Synopsis

Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.

In season 1 episode 21 Dani came to the apartment to help a drunk Brandon who was reeling from Callie leaving him. However, when putting him to bed, she instead ends up sleeping with him while he was drunk and underage.
She tries to convince Brandon not to say anything about their one night stand to Mike, saying that she loves him too much and it would hurt him. She even blames Brandon himself for it, and says it would throw Mike off of his sobriety and ruin him. After being eaten with guilt, however, he eventually told his mothers and Mike despite the risks. Consequently, she was arrested for statutory rape and for rape in the first degree (as Brandon was drunk as well as underage) In The Longest Day.

A main story line throughout the show is about two foster siblings that fall in love, kiss multiple times, and have sex at one point, and they still feel for each other (but aren't together) after they become adoptive siblings.
