Since Deja has become a significant character, what is wrong with an episode to show us her roots. This show is making points all the time. The foster care system in this country is really tenuous, hit and miss. Some use it as a means to earn government cash. Deja has a a past. She is a real person; she has tried to maintain herself with a mother who never had been equipped to handle a child. When the Pearsons move in and provide a safe place, she is still filled with the distrust. The mother walks away, and this girl feels betrayed again. The Pearsons aren't the issue. The hopelessness of a high school girl whose roots have been ripped from the ground is what it is all about.
