Season 4 of "The Fosters" is going on a short break starting Monday, Aug. 29, but ahead of that the summer finale will be aired by Freeform. In the upcoming Season 4 episode 10 titled "Collateral Damage," we will see the Fosters trying to get justice for Jack, while Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) deals with something very deep, personal and scary.
Mariana seems to be getting addicted to her brother's ADHD pills and she will face the consequence of this addiction in the upcoming episode. From the promos of the episode it looks like she is hallucinating and despite her overachieving in the scholastic level, she has been struggling to keep Nicke's (Louis Hunter) self-harming tendencies under wraps.
"The Fosters" executive producer Peter Paige recently said in an interview: "Mariana is a mess right now. She is one of those overachiever kids who is on the verge of a real profound meltdown."
She has been putting a lot of pressure on herself and the pills she has been sneaking in seem to be the only things working for her. Now, this will backfire on her, but obviously she has her entire family running towards her in her moments of trouble. We will see her working things out in the finale.
The official synopsis for the episode reads: Callie and the family run a "Justice for Jack" booth at a music festival to try and stop Justina's foster care bill; Mariana sees Nick and makes a run for it; Stef's inquiries into Kyle's case could lead to repercussions at her job.
Season 4 episode 11 of "The Fosters" is expected to return by December 2016 or January 2017, as per the previous seasons. Meanwhile, don't forget to watch Season 4 episode 10 of "The Fosters" at 8 p.m. (EST) on Monday, Aug. 29 via Freeform. You can also live-stream "Collateral Damage" via Freeform Go Live and Hulu.
