I forgot to say, I really loved Beth for sticking up to Kate when talking to Randall. That was so heartwarming. I really disliked the Beth, Sophie (and Philip) jokes about the family. I get that the producers probably wanted to lighten it up (and prob been reading too many comments in here) but it felt way out of place for SUCH a serious and sad issue. I would be miserable if my significant other talked about me like this about a serious issue. About Kate, I think it was a bit sad to see she could only find her worth in an all of the sudden amazing career. As someone else feeling like her throughout my life and a little lost and having family members be like how Kevin and Randall are to Kate it was sad to see it had to take a magical amazing career for her to stand up to them and for Toby to explain how amazing she is. What if you're not a career person? And for the millionth time - give a damn emmy to Mandy Moore already!! Amazing!

Yees, I kind of hope there is a crazy twist where Toby ends up with her... They are much better for each other. She has absolutely NO chemistry with Philip and it makes zero sense.

This show has me in RUINS. I don't even know if I will be able to watch the last 2 episodes.. Those flashback scenes together with current time scenes really messed me up.. So beautiful but sad at the same time. Seeing it first hand in my own life with my mom and grandmother, who might not have a lot of time left, is just killing me. Missing the person she used to be and scared to lose those memories to how she has been the last few years and finally scared to lose her period. Also the sibling relationship is so spot on with this show. How you seem to be stuck with how you were when you were younger or in an important time of your life with them and how hard it is to have these difficult conversations with SO much baggage to your relationship weighing in. This show is the best show I've ever watched.

OMG good to know Im not the only one! The scene touched me so randomly out of nowhere and even made me cry!! So crazy. Could literally feel her love through the screen! Made me so thankful for grandmoms <3

Wow I cant believe I barely survived a Kevin epi. Was looking forward to this so much and Kevin is my favorite. I feel like Cassidy and Nicky stole his show though and in my mind this episode got completely sidetracked. Huge bummer. Hopefully Kate's will be better next week!

Okay, writers this stringing along who Kevin's love story is going to be has become really tiresome now. Just pick already. After this episode I sure don't hope it's Madison. Team Sophie all the way but it has to happen in a good way which I feel like there is barely time for. I freaking love Beth more and more for every episode. Her and Rebecca's relationship is ADORABLE!! Seems like Toby and Kate are heading for troubles.

Couldn't it still be? If that trip happened right before she turned 8 and then the mom decided to leave cause of the dad just working instead of being with his family? Obviously kind of weird and horrible for her to just leave her daughter with a man that doesn't have time for her. But the stories could still fit together.

Omg what an episode... Left me crying multiple times. First though I really hate how they incorporated covid into the show. I really wish I could forget about it while watching my favourite show instead of getting reminded of it every few mins ugh. Also I wanna see what they originally had in store, it sure feels like they changed A LOT of the original storyline. I really liked this episode since it found a really awesome way to include relevant flashbacks with the now. Those are truly my favourite episode. And finding out more about how Kate fared after Jack died was way overdue. Teenage Kate really gets to me as it's heartbreaking to see how easy it is esp for teenage girls to be SO hard on themselves. I remember those feelings all too well. Thank god she has an amazing mom there to watch her and had a supportive dad. Imagine what teenagers go through without that.. No no no no to Kevin's ex - HUGE waste of time. And SO random he was able to just walk right in and talk to her... LOL come on now. It was good and interesting to see Toby's dad. Really good lesson esp for men to not bottle in your feelings. Beth and the ballet... It really got to me as well as I have similarities in my own life. Just wow.. I feel so sad for her and know exactly how it feels even more lonely because no one else will understand all those little major moments that happened in a field you were dying to be in for the rest of your life. And although you want to be able to share it feels almost impossible. The Madison storyline feels a bit forced - like yes we get it, she comes from a really broken family. She has to have other stuff going for her though. Do we even know what her job or other passions are yet? Hope the next two episode will live up to this!

This was the worst episode for quite a while. I felt like you can really tell they've been struggling with this virus and having to re-write everything FAST. This felt way rushed and just bad. It's like they're going by in slow-motion. I love this show but this episode had me going in and out so many times. Ugh. The only thing good about this episode was Beth! I freaking love her.

Hahah I actually paused the show to have a better look at those names! Thought it was extremely weird how it said "Fogelman" then I remembered once I read in here lol.. Too funny these directors!

What a beautiful episode! (another one) I really love how this show shows us the other side of whatever mood strangers seem to be in and the importance of always being open and not judge right away. The person who cuts you off in store or traffic may be on the way home to a dying family member with medicine, you just never ever know. If you're in a good position in life always being nice and handing a helping hand just goes such a long way. I also thought it was Miguel's parents and got pretty annoyed! More strangers!?! Whats the point in this huge special episode, we need all the screen time we can get with the big 3 and not these strangers. Boy was I humbled in the end.. So beautiful to put that in there in these times!! Just imagine the world if Covid had hit 30 years ago! I love the men in this episode. Love that it was Jack feeling sentimental about the kids growing up. It usually always is the mom in TV shows. It's so good to see how dads can feel the same and in this case even more than the mom. Holy cow that needle... And in the back.. God help me when I give birth one day.. HAHA "Give her something interesting!" I haven't laughed out loud by myself for a while! I love Beth!! Also YAY little 3 flashbacks! SO cute, I hope we get to see more from that time! Seriously I know it's been said many times before but the make up department for this show is INCREDIBLE! And also Mandy! She literally depicts "older mom" PERFECTLY and looks the part as well! So insanely talented makeup people! CANT WAIT FOR THE FUTURE!

Wow this episode had me crying so much and kept tugging at my heart!! First I was a little underwhelmed with the Kevin and football storyline, but they did alright. Maybe I just miss pre-teen Kevin lol, he was such a sweetheart. I thought I would be super into the sport theme of it all, but turned out what really got to me was the parent theme and what Jack said about your parent always being inside you and their voices even long after they're gone. Nobody thinks about it but as someone who has lost a parent after a difficult relationship let me just say how much that made sense to me. Hearing those voices at whatever you're doing. It just really highlights the importance of being a parent like Jack. Make sure your voice is reasonable and good so that it will stick in your children. When Kevin said in the end how Jack felt about him it made me cry so hard. I know it may seem like a lot for him to "live up to" and he doesn't want to fail his dad but deep inside he must feel such peace knowing that's how his dad looked at him and our parents are the ones that know us the best so it must have been truth even if Kevin doesn't always believe it. Also the end.... Just fucking wow. That was so freaking heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. To hear Madison doesn't have anybody while being in this huge situation and the nurse trying to be so helping even though she must be way overworked. And then for freaking Randall to call like that.... And say the things he did... Fucking WOW! I love this show and how it shows us again and again how to freaking act with people. Even these small acts of kindness and how much they can mean for somebody else. To really listen and see what people need. No matter if its strangers or family members. Wow this just had me cry to no end! BEAUTIFUL! Also hahahaha the scene with Miguel and Rebecca trying to find tickets and Rebecca being so excited until realising she made a mistake. ELDERLY-MOM-CLASSIC haha that was SO endearing!! I was actually shocked it ended when it did. I was really wanting to see the next day with football and Kevin to have it wrap up. Also seeing if the coach changed or not? That talk with Jack and the coach in the bathroom felt not finished, and how the coach left so fast. What does that mean? A person like that rarely changes.

Okay so not the kids, but I just want Kevin and Sophie so bad!

What a complete waste of episode! I tried anyways since there is literally nothing else to do these days, but was BORED to death and then went in here and saw something about my fave Kevin so I managed to stay with it til the end. That lake scene with Randall and his mom...... WAY WEIRD! Even for TIU. I don't know WHAT they were thinking. Anyway about the car crash. PLEASE be Madison and the twins, so Kevin can go to Sophie and have a family with her ❤️ Did he say they were on the way to the hospital or already there? I also thought it didn't look like Kevin's car.

What a crazy way to start the show after the long break. It felt way rushed and as if the producers just got it ready last night. Shocking start. I would have liked a bit of a smoother start but I guess they had a lot to say in this episode. It just feels WAY rushed, they have dragged out a ton of things for forever and then BAM here you go, all the answers in 42 mins! Like wait what. Anyways, I guess the abortion story had already been guessed so not much of a surprise there. It probably was a bit much for Kate to go there and confront him, but I think deep down it was really good for her to stand up to him as her stronger self today. It is really interesting how differently two people can view a relationship or friendship and almost have no idea how different it was for the other part. And I agree the end scene with toby in the car felt way weird.. Is he starting to feel differently about Kate? Omg also the last scene with teenage Kate and Rebecca. Who can relate? As a girl it is THE hardest thing to lie or hide things from your mother. To think that she was hiding it even with a loving mother like Rebecca is just HEARTBREAKING. I'm sorry but THANK GOD Randall's mom is dead. I could not even imagine going there. I also hope they don't show the "get to know her" part. Please. I would much rather focus on his kids or relationship or Kevin. EDIT: just saw the preview for next week.. NOOOOO... I will probably skip it. Ugh... Kevin and Madison was just waiting to happen. All their scenes are way fake and uncomfortable. The forcing it is so clear. Just call it a day and agree to co-parent and try to find someone that will make you happy. This is clearly not meant to be. I still hope for Kevin and Sophie. The phone call between teenage Kevin and Randall made a lot of sense. The adult one was also heartwarming although I wish Randall would have also apologized to Kevin, as he was really opening up and being vulnerable. All in all, theyre about to lose me if they dont go back to season 1 magic anytime soon. I would like a big 3 kids throwback in every episode.. Although I know the actors get older. But even better a big 3 pre-school throwback ❤️
