I was hoping Pam was back only to pick up her kid and head back home or get a job and be away from these decent people. There are no redeeming qualities in Pam! I have no idea what the writers are doing by keeping her in. She needs to go. She is absolutely horrible. Upon walking into Mitchell's home after months in prison, she doesn't even dare to say: "thank you". No "thank you" for taking care of my kid; a kid, mind you, she had with absolutely no education or job or home.
