My take on last night episode is
*Kate was rude and TOO sensitive to her mom. Yes Rebecca had a back handed compliment, but Kate never let up.
*I think maybe Rebecca is/was a little jealous of Kate, for her close relationship with Jack. And yes she (Rebecca) could have been a strong component in Kate's weight and self esteem.
*Maybe Jacks death didn't have anything to do with the house fire.
* The helicopter scene I think just confirmed that Jack is the bomb. He's every women's man, every kids perfect dad, and every man's hero.
*I don't like, and never have liked Mandy Moore as this mom. She isn't very maternal to me. She loves Randall the best, but still has a strong, look down her nose, attitude.
* I think the adoption that Beth and Randall are doing is a stretch that isn't gonna be very popular with the audience.
*I love this show! ❤️
