Full Episode
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.
