What themes are explored in season 2, episode 10?
On today's episode of That Was Us, we will be discussing season two, episode 10, number three. Randall and Beth are faced with a hard choice when unexpected news impacts their journey fostering Deja. Jack takes Randall on a college tour. Hello, friends.
What up, guys? How's it going?
How are ya?
The third episode in the second trilogy?
No, the first trilogy. The first trilogy. End of the first trilogy in season two, because we've already gone through Kevin's. We've seen Kate dealing with the miscarriage, and now we're seeing what's going on in the life of Randall. All in the same day. From Randall's perspective.
And I love, of course, that Randall didn't just walk, but he also was talking.
He was talking a little bit, too. Yeah.
Jack and Rebecca were like, wait, wait, did he just, what did he just say?
How does Randall's relationship with Deja evolve?
Did you say table? Table. Not surprising.
Overachiever from the jungle.
Sterling worked with that actor.
I did indeed. I was like, let's make it real, big guy. Let's make it real.
Let's take it again.
So we start off this episode, what I kind of really enjoyed about it is that you just see him in dad mode, right? Hanging out with his girls, you know, helping with homework, et cetera, et cetera. And then he goes and he talking to Deja. And you see they've been working on this project together with the plants and seeing like what other things besides just, you know, water, whatever, affect plants, playing music, making cheesy jokes about Beyonce and lemonade. I think he had a dad joke with Faith and Tess about, you know, why did the something go to the dentist that had Bluetooth? I can't remember all. He's so dumb. And so delightfully dumb and just enjoys being a dad, right? Yes. And I can say that those are points of synchronicity between myself and him. And we're upstairs talking to Deja and then we hear a bit of a kerfuffle.
Outside, yeah.
Outside. It turns out that Shauna... Deja's mom has come. She's been let out of prison because the gun was not hers, that was found in her car. Charges were dropped. She said the charges were dropped. So her and Beth are having a bit of a heated discussion. Yes. Let me tell you, if you haven't had firsthand knowledge of two sisters in the midst, that was a close representation of what it's like. And mama bears. You know what I'm saying? Like going at it. Yeah. I so love to see Sue get, cause Sue don't get mad. You know what I'm saying? But like, there was, there was like, she said like, I'll be back. And she's like, we'll be here. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, and it was interesting because you get a chance to see this little girl and she gets mad.
She would get mad even at that time. Lyric, when I would call her a little girl, she's like, I'm not a little girl. I'm a young lady. And I would say, okay, young lady. But you get a chance to see her handle her mom. Like she becomes the parent. And this mom is like, that's not the way it goes, mom. We have to call the social work and everything will work out, right?
What emotional moments stood out in this episode?
Did you not find that heartbreaking?
Very much so.
Yeah. I just was like, oh.
Very much so.
A child being asked to like parent the parent.
Yeah. Yeah.
You understand their dynamic. It's like, oh, this is the way it always is.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the girls go, is everything okay? And he's like, no, just, you know, it's Deja's mom coming and everybody's just trying to do what's best for her. I can't remember all the lines, but that's the gist. Debra Jo Rupp comes back as Linda.
Yep.
As Linda and is telling us that she is indeed out. um that she's gotten herself together she's got an apartment i checked on her the other day she seems to be doing really well and i'm going to recommend to the court that she be reunited with her daughter like beth and randall like you gotta be kidding me Like, oh, that's what you have to do. Like you have a gun in the car, whatnot. The kid could have got to it, not gotten to it. Like, I don't care how she's doing right now. Like, how are you going to tell me that the woman that showed up at my doorstep yelling at my wife last night, by the way, let me go back real quick. Nothing is more embarrassing to black people than acting a fool in front of white people.
