How Can Deacon? (General)

Sheila informs Deacon that she is his roomie now and is going nowhere, tho he keeps telling her she has to go. She is a felon and he can not be associated with her without putting himself in jeopardy.

So how does Deacon, a bigger man than Sheila, manage to get the upper hand in his own place, not hers, to get her out the door? Wouldn't just calling and turning her in do the trick and even make him a hero and no going back to prison. Why are we making this so complicated?

It reminds me a bit of the Thomas/Sheila storyline. We have to be reminded on a daily how he really doesn’t want to go along with this but he has no choice.
It's ridiculous.
If Deacon had come clean the first day after the red wig situation he could have claimed he was tricked. But now he is absolutely an accessory. He can’t just call the police.

I don't know. My guess is that he has complicated feelings for Sheila. He doesn't want her around, but he doesn't want to rat anyone else out, either.

Deacon screwed himself over the first day she showed up and the cops were at his door by not turning her in. He gave her leverage and now she has even more. I'm not sure how he can be a hero now unless he saves someone by killing her.

He ain’t turning her in now he sees $$$$$signs

Agree. Except the longer he doesn’t turn her in and the more he and she hit the sheets the more he is associating with a known felon and a wanted one (until the bear killed her!) at that.
