I went into full-blown, chest-heaving sobs TWICE. The first was the episode in which William died. The second was this week. That was excellent writing, directing and acting.
What I liked about this episode is that it was like a totally new chapter in a story with characters -- to some extent -- we didn't know existed...and yet it fit right in.

I feel this way too. They have no reason to be as messed up like they claim to be. Give me a break. We have all had stuff in our childhoods, even with well meaning parents.

I, too, was waiting for the old boyfriend to say, “Jeez, Kate, you’re huge”.

My wife and I are binge watching Yellowstone. Last night I said to her that at least the Yellowstone "kids" have an explanation for being messed up unlike the This Is Us "kids". The Yellowstone kids had messed up parents. The This Is Us kids had Ozzie and Harriet parents.

Yes and no. Jack was a heavy drinker and they showed that during the first season. They haven't brought that up in a while. Jack died when the children were still in their teens and he died in a very traumatic, sudden way. Both Rebecca and Jack had kind of messed up parents and there was an episode where they showed Rebecca's mother being controlling towards Kate (can't remember which season). They haven't really shown too much of Rebecca's parents. Alcoholism runs in the family, Nicky, Jack, Jack't father, Kevin.

At the very very end of that last episode , they showed Randall calling Kevin who had gone
to Vancouver to film and who answered on his cell phone ( even I have a Blue Tooth ).
It was raining hard and all of a sudden , there was a crashed car. No one else I spoke to
recalls this part. Did I imagine it ?

The crashed car was in the previews for next week. Sometimes when you watch on streaming, you don't get to see the previews, which might explain why they didn't recall that part.

I have bluetooth in my car, but h was likely driving a rental. Holding the phone might play into how the car crashed?

I just went back to the episode (streamed Hulu, no previews) and no, I didn't see him holding a phone while talking to Randall. Perhaps he was using the speaker mode.

I loved the last episode with Randall learning about his mother. I understand that she left her well off family as her dad would force her to marry someone she did not love. But I'm surprised she never mentioned it to William. Also me thinks the reason her dad disowned his sister was because she was having an affair with a married man and she shamed the family.

I'm thinking she was intending on telling him and was thinking maybe he changed but before she could, he showed himself. I also was surprised he didn't mention her weight when Kate went to see him. I'm guessing he matured somewhat.

..... Why on Earth would they show a recent repeat when the new season had just begun ?
