var deferred = $q.defer()

...(and then from console inspection)...

$q: Object {defer: function, reject: function, when: function, all: function}

deferred: Object {resolve: function, reject: function, notify: function, promise: Object}

deferred.promise: Object {then: function, catch: function, finally: function}

$q.reject(reason) returns a rejected promise with the reason passed as argument and defered. Reject rejects an existent defered whether its process has finished or not.
