Executive producer Joanna Johnson spoke to TV Guide about Callie' situation and reveals that things get pretty "intense". She was quoted as saying, "Callie is in a very compromised position having gone with Diamond's pimp to hopefully get him put away."

Johnson continued, "She knows now that the phone her mom is tracking [is in] the bag and that bag went out the window with someone else. Stef [Teri Polo] is tracking Callie's phone but Callie is not with her phone and we are picking up right there. It's pretty exciting and intense."
