For Mariana, her Olympics are finally here.

This week on The Fosters, Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) is ready to do battle in the regional robotics competition. She’s put her heart and soul into this project, as well as coding, as a way of coping with Nick’s arrest for pulling a gun on her.

In this exclusive preview clip from “The Girl Code” episode, the fiery, competitive Mariana is completely on edge as her team, including twin Jesus (Noah Centineo) arrives at regionals.

“Losing is not an option. Understood?” she barks at Jesus and Emma (Amanda Leighton).

Whoa, you might want to take a chill pill, Mariana. But things only get worse when Mariana discovers something is wrong with their robotic creation.

Meanwhile, also on “The Girl Code,” Callie (Maia Mitchell) gets a warning from the police to stop harassing Patrick Molloy, and Brandon (David Lambert) practices for his upcoming Juilliard audition.

Check out five first look images from the episode, which airs Monday at 8 p.m. on Freeform:
