## Short Summary

Rebecca helps Kate and Toby care for baby Jack. Zoe and Kevin look after Tess and Annie. Randall and Beth consider how to move forward.

## Full Summary

During the Big Three's childhood, Rebecca crashes the car and is hospitalized. Randall is especially worried about her, and Jack ultimately brings the children back to the hospital before dawn. To Jack, Rebecca is the family's "engine."

In the present, Rebecca dominates Kate's conversations with healthcare professionals about baby Jack. Kate is frustrated, but ultimately admits that Rebecca was a great mom; Kate affirms she wants Jack to have Rebecca's "magic" in his life.

Kevin and Zoe babysit Tess and Annie. Kevin helps Tess understand that forming an identity is a lifelong process. Realizing that Kevin is meant to be a father, Zoe ends their relationship.

Randall and Beth agree they want to find a way forward. Deja admonishes Randall for endangering the good fortune he has had in life. Randall tells Beth he will resign, but she decides the family will relocate to Philadelphia; they will sell the house and economize so she can open her own dance studio.

In the future, the Pearson family—including a still-married Randall and Beth, adult Tess, Toby, young Jack (who is not shown onscreen), Kevin's preteen son, and Nicky—gathers at Kevin's home, where an elderly Rebecca is in failing health.

## Lyrics

[Intro: Yung Christ]

This a $crim beat

Yung Christ, \*59

DJ $crim with that 808

Work!

[Verse 1: YUNG CHRIST]

Crack up in my swisher (woop!), blowin' bitches kisses

Syrup got me twisted (rowdy), G\*59 the misfits

Swervin' and I'm fucked up, servin' time, I'm locked up

Chopper sprayin', Mack truck (bop, bop, bop)

You live a life of bad luck

All my hoes do drugs (eeh!)

All my homies thugs (woop)

Bitches fucking scrubs (yeah)

Explorer on some dubs (what?)

This that flex on them with no mercy

That text I get at 1:30, yo bitch beggin' to get fucked

Leggings on, but I rip 'em up, just enough to slide up in

All about them Benjamins, dead presidents

I'm heaven sent, you just a fuckboy, that's irrelevant (grrah!)

Bow down to your sensei (Yung Mutt—)

You talking to a God boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge: YUNG MUTT]

(G\*59, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: YUNG MUTT]

Swervin' past the Church in all black clothing

Holding up a middle finger, MAC showing

Throwing cash, hoes run and clash—get they back broken

(Gimme that fucking money!)

Pop the cap open

Throat soaking in some liquid potion, ocean motion

Toasting to the stars, got a great view from Mars

Spit a couple bars just to show it ain't hard (bop, bop, bop)

\*59 ain't far from the start, all brain and heart

Gotta play your part in the game, make sure you aim the dart

[Verse 3: Bones]

Fresh fruit by the platter

Sipping water

Hear it splatter

Got ash on my shirt

But I'm me, so it never matter

Fuck a job, stay at home

Rolling bones till I'm gone

Hair ties on my wrist

This the doped up ghost

Laying in my bed now, feeling dead now

Money stashed in my pocket with the bands now

I don't like rap cause they do it wrong

I'm isolated cause I cannot take this shit no more

Laying in my bed now, feeling dead now

Money stashed in my pocket with the bands now

I don't like rap cause they do it wrong

I'm isolated cause I cannot take this shit no more

(What? what? I cannot take this shit no more...)

Deja Pearson

**Deja Pearson** (born: **Deja Andrews**) is the adoptive daughter of Randall and Beth Pearson and the biological one of Shauna Andrews. Deja is also the older adoptive sister of Tess and Annie Pearson.

## History

Deja introduced as a girl moving in and out of the foster care system with a mother who was arrested for having an unlicensed gun in her possession. After experiencing abuse and neglect at the hands of her former foster families, she is hesitant to be welcomed into the hands of the Pearsons, especially Randall, who wants to establish a bond with her. She eventually gets adopted by the Pearsons after a rough wedding, when she lashes out because her mother left her and gave up her parental rights.

Deja was born to a young mother who was sixteen. In her early years, she was primarily raised by her great-grandmother until she was five-years-old before her grandmother suffered a fatal heart attack as they were returning home one day with groceries.

From then on, she was raised by her young mother, Shauna Andrews. The two lived in the hood and Deja grew up fast as she was used to doing taxes, cooking meals, laundry, etc. She first entered the foster care system after ending up in the emergency room with a cut she got opening a can while making her mother’s birthday dinner. Deja experienced abuse at the hands of foster parents, which would ultimately influence her later behavior when she entered the Pearson household.

## Short Summary

Kate finds strength in unexpected places.

## Full Summary

Toddler Kate wants a "Mommy story." With Rebecca asleep, Jack suggests Kate tell the story, in which she searches for her mother.

Teenage Kate struggles to accommodate Marc's moodiness. Rebecca asks to get to know Marc better, which Kate perceives as disapproval of the relationship. Kate decides to skip Rebecca's birthday dinner to write music with Marc at the cabin. Marc quits the record store and expects Kate to quit in solidarity; when she declines, he drives recklessly and kicks Kate out of the car amid insults. Kate calls Rebecca, but says everything is fine after Marc approaches with an apology. Rebecca, convinced there is a problem, heads for the cabin with her sons.

In the present, Kate has arranged to attend a retreat for blind children and their families. Toby is reluctant to participate, so Rebecca joins Kate and Jack instead. Kate tells Rebecca about Toby's misgivings, and Rebecca confides her diagnosis. They sing karaoke together and embrace the fact that they are becoming friends. On Rebecca's advice, Kate demands to know if Toby can be the father their family needs. After Kate is invited to the cabin, Toby offers to care for Jack.
