Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) worry about Deja (Lyric Ross) on the upcoming episode of "This Is Us" season 2.

Titled "This Big, Amazing, Beautiful Life," this week's episode will focus on Randall and Beth's relationship with their former foster child, Deja. Not much was revealed by NBC, as the press release reads: "Randall and Beth welcome visitors to their home."

A sneak peek for the episode focuses on Randall, Beth and Deja. It does not feature any footage of Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (Justin Hartley), which means the entire episode will center on Deja's struggles after leaving Beth and Randall's home to be with her mother.

The clip also shows that Deja and Shauna (Joy Brunson) were evicted in the last episode when Randall and Beth found them sleeping inside their car. Based on the official synopsis, it seems the Pearsons will invite Shauna and Deja to come stay in their home until they find a new place to live in.

The previous episode showed Kate and Toby's (Chris Sullivan) bachelor/bachelorette parties in Las Vegas. Fans also got a glimpse at how Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) celebrated their early wedding anniversaries. Kate became closer to her sister-in-law Beth, while Toby was officially welcomed by Randall and Kevin to the Pearson clan.

As the series approaches its finale, Brown teased that some loose ends will be tied in the next two episodes. "We have a beautiful standalone episode for episode 17 that I won't say too much about," he said in a recent interview. "And the season finale will answer some questions and, as always, explore new possibilities for where we're going to be going in season three."

"This Is Us" season 2 airs every Tuesday night at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
