I think those things you said that doesn't make sense can actually be made sense when you think of it. Everything doesn't have to be explained. As far as Mr. Tate knows, his daughter spent the better part of her childhood in the forest. So after a few violent behaviors and disappearances (full moon and whatnot) she might have asked to be put to the institution herself. And since her staying there would on her own request, she could easily walk out. Her father's absence also bothered me I must say, but perhaps he was on a business trip, or he's simply a careless person who got used to her absense and he's adjusting also. It was said that she was sneaking out at nights so perhaps she was sneaking back in before Tate woke up. I know I'm making up stuff here, but my point is everything doesn't have to be explained, sometimes writers tend to leave some stuff to our imagination and that's a good thing imo.

To leave my bias aside, because Shelley was the reason I started this show and I really really really really love her, I quite enjoyed Malia's character. She had some badass moments, some emotional moments.. As I said she spent the better part of her childhood in the forest among animals trying to survive when it was supposed to be among her family and friends playing house and stuff.. It's only acceptable if she has some disorders. I think it's fun to watch her struggle learning human ways.
