“The episode is very Beth-centric, by the way. Oh, and those weren’t her parents who lived in that house she blew up. Now whether those nasty abusive people were still in there or not … choose the answer that you like. We’re never, ever going to tell you everything about these characters. For example, you have no idea exactly who Sophie was married to at age 17, do you? Or why when Eliot said “I don’t like guns” in the pilot, he added “… you know that.” to Nate. Why would Nate know that?”

Star Wars, take note: you do NOT have to explain absolutely everything about a character and their backstory.
