What episode are we discussing today?
On today's episode of That Was Us, we will be discussing Season 2, Episode 3, Deja Vu.
Randall and Beth's foster child arrives, and a film shoot with his father's favorite movie star brings up long-buried emotions for Kevin.
What up, y'all? Hello, friends. How you doing, Mandy Moore? I'm well, how are you? I'm doing quite well. Christopher Sullivan, how's it going, sir? I'm doing very well. I'm glad to hear it.
Thank you for asking. Glad to hear it. We got a new character. We're introducing a new character into the This Is Us world.
One of my favorites, played brilliantly by lyric Nicole Ross, who will be joining us later in the show, Deja.
Deja.
Who seems like she's been there from the beginning, and it pretty much is the beginning. So from the beginning of season two, she's a part of it and i will reiterate the fact that i did not know that deja's character was introduced this early yeah in the show it just was surprising re-watching you know absolutely there are always revelations for us and this was one for me like wow There she is. Let's just jump right to that storyline, because you sort of see Randall trying to dot every I and cross every T in preparation for her coming to the house. It's been three weeks, I believe, since they've been approved to foster, and he's just sort of patiently been waiting. Patiently? Not patiently. Thank you very much. Absolutely not. He doesn't know how to be patient.
He doesn't know how to do that. I also like that in this episode, we have a landline, which I don't know how many people actually, quick, landline to anybody? No. No. What do you mean? Grow up with one? No, no, no. Not growing up with one, but mom and dad. Do you have a landline right now? I have one. just in case of like earthquakes, emergency and stuff. But I use it, especially if somebody calls on a landline, it means you don't know who I am. I'm not picking it up. I was like, do you know the number to your left? I do not. Exactly. It says home in my cell phone.
Do me a favor, just because I'm curious. Go home and see if you can get an operator. Call home if I get an operator? Yeah, go home and get on your landline. Can you still get... Hello, operator? Can you tap zero? Can you? I don't know. Are there operators? I think so. All right. I haven't tried it. We're going to need to know. That's a good question. You're the only one who can tell us.
Anyway, you see- I digress. Beth trying to calm him down. The phone starts ringing. Right, while they're in the middle, he's cooking his feelings. She loves it when he cooks his feelings. Phone starts ringing. She said, look, the last time this happened, it wasn't anything, no big deal. And she's like, woman, will you please answer the dadgum phone? Turns out that it is the foster child.
What challenges do Randall and Beth face with their foster child?
She's gonna be coming soon. And he's very excited, nervous, et cetera. You know, he's read all these things about, you know, best ways to make people feel at home. Make sure you say your name, repeat it several times so they can hear it. And then Deborah Jo Rupp, right?
Yes.
Is our social worker who is from That 70s Show. That's right. Also sort of populating the world of familiar faces that we've grown up with in our lives. And she drops Deja off. And now there's a shot before we get to this of Deja from the back. I think just exiting, I don't know if it's the courthouse or whether it's the foster care facility, what have you. And then they show another back shot of her as she enters into the house and they sort of swivel in around her face. And she's my little baby. That's right. with her little cheeks. It's so cute. And her hair's just long. And you know what I'm saying? And I'm like, hi, I'm Randall. And you hear Beth, I'm Beth. And everybody's sort of introducing her. And then she says like, well, I'm sleepy.
I want to go to bed. And they're like, yeah, yeah, we can do that. No problem. Later on, I think that, do we have her in the kitchen? And we're trying to show her like where she can get food and all these sort of things. I think that maybe that's when she says she wants to go to bed. Yeah, that's right. And great. Deborah Jo is about to leave, social worker.
