What happened to Callies sister?

“The Fosters” Season 4, episode 10 will see the return of Callie’s (Maia Mitchell) sister Sophia (Bailee Madison), according to TV Line.

In the sneak peek released by Freeform for “Collateral Damage,” Sophia could be seen helping Callie and the rest of the Adams Foster family in setting up a “Justice for Jack” booth at a music festival. While there, Sophia meets Callie’s new friend Aaron, and she asks who the “cute” guy is. While the sisters are talking, Brandon’s dad Mike hears Callie and Sophia gush over Aaron. This then makes him wonder what the real score between Callie and the new male character is.

Also in the clip, Mike is seen confronting AJ about Callie’s close bond with Aaron. This move appears to not sit well with AJ who thinks that his adoptive dad doesn’t want him to date Brandon’s (David Lambert) fling. AJ tells Mike that if he cannot support his relationship with Callie, he’s going to move out of his home when he turns 18.

Meanwhile, Mariana’s (Cierra Ramirez) ex-boyfriend Nick is finally out from rehab. He is going to try to reconnect with Mariana by calling and stalking her. This freaks Mariana out so she tells Jesus (Noah Centineo) to ask Nick to stop bugging her. Unfortunately, Nick does not listen to Jesus in the sneak peek, and he follows Mariana to the music festival. He could also be seen urging her to ride in his car.

In other news, “The Fosters” Season 4A will be streamed on Netflix on Sept. 28, according to Entertainment Weekly. Other shows that will be released via Netflix include “Baby Daddy” Season 5, “Young and Hungry” Season 4 on Sept. 2, “The Blacklist” Season 3 on Sept. 7, “Supergirl” Season 1 on Sept. 10, “The Walking Dead” Season 6 on Sept. 15, “Gotham” Season 2 on Sept. 19 and more.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched “Kiss Me and Smile for Me,” the March 16 episode of “Good Trouble.”

The Fosters family is changing again — Maia Mitchell has exited Freeform’s “Good Trouble.” The actress has portrayed Callie Foster since “The Fosters” premiered in 2013, and went on to reprise the role in its spinoff series, with her final episode airing on Wednesday night.

During the episode, Callie revealed that Kathleen (Constance Zimmer) had helped her land her dream job with the ACLU, but that meant she had to move to Washington, D.C. She had invited her moms (guest stars Teri Polo and Sherri Saum) and brother Jude (Hayden Byerly) to town in order to soften the news for Mariana (Cierra Ramirez), who was shocked to learn her sister was moving across the country in two days.

Throughout the episode, Callie said her goodbyes to everyone — and many real tears were shed in the process.

The episode ended with Callie sitting on an airplane and seeing her on-and-off boyfriend, Jamie (Beau Mirchoff), boarding the same flight. He reveals to her that he also got a job opportunity in D.C. before asking whether the seat beside her is taken (even though, usually, seats on planes are assigned). She happily tells him that it’s free.

Behind the scenes, the cast was a mess — even though they’d known that Mitchell was leaving for quite some time. At the end of Season 3, she had a discussion with co-creator Joanna Johnson about wanting to go home to Australia since she hadn’t seen her family in two years due to COVID-19.

“I had known that that Maia had been considering moving on,” Johnson said. “She’s been doing this this role for nine years. She grew up in this role between ‘The Fosters’ and ‘Good Trouble.’ She was 19 when she started. I went to her trailer, and I said, ‘So, I want to talk about Season 4, and I want to beg you to stay.’ She said how much she loves his family and this show, but that she needed to go home.”

Johnson and the rest of the cast and crew understood that need, but still “tried many different ways to try to talk her out of it” before ultimately coming to terms with her decision. After they did, the executive producer asked if Mitchell would come back for Season 4 and do a few episodes at the top to give her a proper sign off.

“In the finale episode of Season 3, there were so many stories that we’re trying to serve and I wanted to devote an entire episode to her. She was delightful and lovely and said she’ll come back from Australia to do them,” she told Variety. “She’s always going to be part of the family, and I don’t think it’s the last we’ll ever see of Callie. Callie’s journey is happening off camera, but we’ll catch up with her.”

Filming the finale was “very emotional for everyone,” but specifically Mitchell and Ramirez. The pair met on set of “The Fosters” and have led the spinoff together since its 2019 debut.

While the episode included many separate goodbyes for Callie and quite the toast to The Coterie, it also included a reunion between her and Jamie. With him moving to D.C. as well, Variety confirms that Mirchoff is also exiting the show as a series regular.

“I definitely hope to see Beau again,” Johnson said. “I love the character and I love him. He’s such a lovely guy.”

As for whether Callie and Jamie are now together, that’s something Johnson is hoping to do an episode about down the line: “It’s a mystery, but we’ll find out.”

Mitchell shared her own goodbye message via Instagram following the finale. “10 years ago, I auditioned for a little pilot called ‘The Fosters.’ I was 19 with no clue of the luck I had stumbled upon. Years later, I was able to continue my journey as Callie when we formed the ‘Good Trouble’ family. Two shows, 156 episodes, and a chosen family for life. Lucky me,” she wrote. “While I have been so beyond fortunate to have this career and a job that I love, with not an iota of regret, for quite some time I have suppressed an undeniable gravitational pull to return home to Australia to be closer to my nearest and dearest.”

The actress continued, “The past two years have been trying, for everyone. I fully recognize the privilege of being able to work and make our show during a global pandemic, but it also meant being separated from my loved ones when we needed each other the most. Thus came the need to create the space to split my time between both countries.”

She ended her lengthy post with a message for the fans: “Words can’t express how beyond grateful I am for your consistent and unbreakable loyalty. Fact: We have the best fandom in television. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and I know our paths will cross again in the future.”

This post contains spoilers from Wednesday night's episode of Good Trouble.

The Coterie will never be the same.

Wednesday night's episode of Good Trouble on Freeform — the second episode of season 4, to be precise — saw Callie leaving the communal living space in Los Angeles and jetting off to Washington, D.C. to pursue her dream job with the ACLU.

It also marked the final episode for Maia Mitchell, who has portrayed the smart and passionate Callie Adams Foster since The Fosters debuted in 2013. She and Cierra Ramirez, who plays Mariana Adams Foster, launched the spinoff, Good Trouble, in January 2019.

Since wrapping up her last scenes, Mitchell, 28, has moved home to Australia.

"The pandemic was really hard for me," she explains to PEOPLE of her departure from the hit series, of which she is an executive producer. "I know I'm so privileged and I was so lucky to be able to work, but it also meant that I was separated from my family for 18 months. And there was something about not being able to see them if something happened, just the knowledge that you couldn't get on a plane and see each other, was really hard. I just had to be with them."

"Australia's always felt like home to me and I always had wanted to move back eventually," Mitchell adds. "Obviously, it was such a heartbreaking decision to make because I found community on that show. They've been my family in America. It's kept me going through my homesickness. It was a really, really tough decision. I sat with it for a really long time trying to talk myself out of it. But I had to be closer to my family."

Below, Mitchell describes her tearful last days on set, how she feels about Callie winding up in D.C. with Jamie (Beau Mirchoff, who also leaves the series in this episode) and how her friends and family are coping with the devastating floods in her hometown (and how you can help).

PEOPLE: After covering The Fosters and now Good Trouble since the beginning, I'm not sure I'll get through this interview without some tears.

MAIA MITCHELL: I know. Are we going to be able to do it? Are we going to be okay? My mom and I watched the episode together about a month ago and we were just sobbing. I don't think I've wept that hard and I knew what was going to happen. It's Cierra with that little doll on that bed at the end: I just lost it.

They took such good care with the writing, and I'm really proud of the episode we made, but it makes me cry. I probably won't watch it again. It's too traumatic because there are so many parallels. As we're shooting this episode, I'm trying to keep it together because Callie's not supposed to cry until the speech, and everyone else around me is just bawling their eyes out all week, Cierra especially. She simply does not run out of tears. I couldn't even look at her. I was like, "You just have to go away." It was really brutal.

I feel like [show creator and executive producer] Joanna Johnson just knew how to get me and Cierra because the writing was so parallel with how we were feeling. I was terrified to step away from something that's been so consistent in my life, and to go off and out into the world. All of those lines of dialogue were conversations that I was having with Joanna and with Cierra. So those were 100 percent real tears.

FREEFORM

What was it like telling Cierra that you were stepping away?

She completely understood. She'd seen how tough it was on me. My mom was in America when the pandemic hit and we were shut down. And I remember putting her on a plane the next day, and people were in masks suddenly, and I just knew, something in me just knew that I wasn't going to see her for a really long time. So she was like, "Girl, go home. Enough is enough. Be with your family." I've had only support and love from everyone.

Who had the most surprising reaction?

Probably my mother! I think everyone on set had seen how tough it was for me, so I don't think people were very surprised. I think maybe they were expecting it. I was in a bit of a state. But yes, my mother. She was very excited.

How important was it to have the moms (Sherri Saum and Teri Polo) and Jude (Hayden Byerly) there for your last episode?

The moms established us and The Fosters, and they're at the heart of all the lessons that the two girls are learning and their journey. The moms were the ones who have pushed them in their directions, so it's such a beautiful, full-circle moment. And Jude, oh my gosh. Sitting on that, the pool edge — I'm so glad they were all there for it. And also just for me personally, to have like Mama Teri there, it was just. I mean, that speech that I had to do when I was looking out at all of them was so brutal. And it was directly following an actual speech that I did standing on those steps saying basically the same thing to our crew and our cast. So it was wonderful to have them. It meant a lot. I think they knew that I would need the emotional support.

What was your last day like?

My last day was the scene outside of The Palace hopping in the cab, driving away, waving to Cierra goodbye. She was just bawling her eyes out the whole time. And then shortly after that was the scene with Malika on The Palace steps, which was kind of beautiful, and Constance Zimmer, who directed the episode so beautifully, she had actually gifted me a moonstone as well. So I've got my two little moonstones.

FREEFORM

Did you always see Jamie as endgame for Callie?

Yeah. I love them in D.C. together now that they've had their time apart and they've learned the lessons they've needed to learn. And I feel like they've almost met in the middle, like that conversation that they have at the bar in episode 1 of the season where he's talking about how he's understood that sometimes you have to prioritize your morals, and she's saying, "Well, I understand that, but I've learned that sometimes it's not always that black and white." You really see an understanding of this push and pull they've had for so long, for three seasons and on The Fosters. So I do, I love them together. I was very excited to see him pop into the plane.

So what's next for you?

I'm auditioning a lot. There are a couple of projects in the works that may happen this summer. But honestly, right now I'm just really enjoying the break. I'm at home. I've bought a property out in the middle of nowhere, so I'm just out on my farm, hanging out solo, and I'm really loving the space. And now, with what's happening with my town, it's going to be a big community effort that obviously I'll be getting into.

I saw your post about the devastating floods in New South Wales. Is everyone in your life OK?

Everyone I know and love is safe. It's insane that the death toll isn't worse than what it is. Just, it was up to the community. People in boats were just getting in their boats and rallying and coming down to Lismore and literally saving people's lives. Our community is amazing. But it's quite traumatic. A lot of people almost lost their lives and now they're homeless and need support. (For more information and to help, visit FloodHelpNR.com.au.)
