Season 5 of "The Fosters" picks up exactly where it left off with Callie trapped in a hotel room with character Diamond and her pimp. Callie is trying to save Diamond from her current lifestyle and has found herself in trouble once again. From stalking suspects to falling in love with her step-brother and breaking and entering, Callie is the main trouble maker of the show.
