Uncle Nicky for comic relief and a few zingers of advice though.

Who would've predicted that Uncle Nicky would provide the comedy for this show? It's one of my favorite developments of the whole series.

Loved the hallway banter between Uncle Nicky and Kevin. I don't even want to think about that ice bucket!!

It would have been nice to show Kevin could be happy as a single parent. One doesn’t have to be complete to have a partner.

Hubby was upset it was Sophie, said she had her chances.

The Sophie love story was the entire series for Kevin and yet we hardly saw her.

Toby and Kate seemed to get along after the divorce (teaching the English guy American football, the bar scene when they are all there to hear Jack) so I find it strange he asked Randall if “she” was ok with him being there. We assume he met Kate so maybe something happened after the scenes we know of to ruin their friendship.

So I guess everyone will have had a happy and complete life with the exception of death(s) which is part of life. I suspect the series will end on a sad note but with Randall giving a speech about life, again. I’m sure we will lose Rebecca (given), Miguel and probably Kate. But the older Randall’s girls and Jack will name their kids after the three to show it all continues.

So far this season has been a bit disappointing. Sappy and pretty predictable.

The scenes for next week - ugh when Miguel puts his head on Rebecca's lap. Get ready for the tissues.

Glad that Kevin and Sophie ended up together, even if it is predictable. I don't understand why Kevin had a conversation with Cassidy, a few hours after almost sleeping with Sophie, about the two of them being together. It would have been a better scene if he was talking to Cassidy about what happened with Sophie. Especially since they already had the "we are better off as friends" conversation a few episodes ago. It just seemed out of place.

I will say, they have done a great job of making Phillip likeable but I still do not see him with Kate. It's just so unrealistic. Zero chemistry.

I think he talked to Cassidy about them as just a head check -- "am I crazy to still be pining after Sophie? Should I move on? Are we a good fit?" because someone he loves, who knows him really well, clearly wants him to be with Cassidy (Nicky). His heart was definitely not in it.

Could be one of those clues to a full-circle story line that they end up together.

I went back on this thread and found one of my previous posts --- and I just want to say that I WAS RIGHT! And I found the "clue" on Feb. 25th.

Ok, I am dumb. Can someone explain the ice bucket joke? Also loved that Sophie got to talk in the end and told Kevin to listen.
She “prayed” that he would grow up for 20 years? That didn’t ring true exactly, but I liked it and cried anyway. They have great chemistry.

the thing about the ice bucket joke is that no one wants to know the ice bucket joke.

Yes, it was. And I cried anyway.

It had to be Sophie. I hated this convoluted episode. No way would he end up with Katie Lowes who was just introduced last week. And he and Cassidy have established multiple times that they are better off as friends. There were a few gems like Rebecca’s talk with Sophie towards the end but otherwise the episode could have been better after the highs of the last few episodes. But I’ve always been on Team Sophie so I am happy overall.

So much dynamite and so little POW! A shocking underperformance by the writers this episode. But all in all still a win. (Although Mandy Moore may have had the best scene when she talked to Sophie).

There was so much pre-hotel bed chemistry and everything fizzled after. I feel there was so much unmet potential. But I still root for K&S

Sophie is divorced.

How…convenient.

Made even more so by the fact that they went to the engagement party together. What was that, a year before the wedding? Less?

I sincerely doubt that 8 year old Kevin would have been able to spell "Sophie" on the Valentine card to her. More realistic would have been "Sofee." But I'm quibbling. Good episode, glad they wrapped up Kevin. I will say they I'm less emotionally invested in the Pearsons this season. Just wrap it up, already.

Yes, “Sofee” and why does Kevin have the valentine?

He was writing out Valentines to all the girls in his class (in flashbacks).
