This Is Us -- Season 2

Yes, I think the PP is onto something with the Jack suicide theory.

Or, maybe he tried to disappear and stage his death? Set fire to the house when they all were away (for the insurance $) and then in the course of his disappearing, he kills himself or is killed in an accident?

I think the Rebecca-returning-to-the-house-with-Jack's-things-in-a-baggie scene must be happening day(s) later after the fire. There are no firefighters or police at the scene. Maybe she's been at the hospital for a while, she's left, and drives "home" forgetting that that house is gone.

I was thinking along those lines, though my thought was that she had finally worked up the nerve to drive by the house, knowing it had burned down.

Thoughts about last night's episode? One thing that stuck out to me is that I think they're portraying the foster child scenario with Deja pretty well. I have a family member who was adopted from foster care and had similar hygiene issues. Beth and Randall are trying their best and are awesome parents, but I hope they don't end up being in over their heads.


****SPOILER ALERT****




Also, I should have seen the pregnancy coming. It fully explains why Kate has been acting strange towards Toby (and in general) and obsessing about her health. I'm interested to see how this storyline plays out. And yup, it seems like they'll continue dragging out the mystery behind Jack's death for as long as possible.

She'll miscarry and blame herself and her weight.

There's no way they'd get that good of an ultrasound at 6 weeks without going transvaginal, which they clearly did not.

I thought it was transvaginal. She had the blue paper blanket thing pulled up to her chest so her belly didn't seem to be exposed. Could you do an ultrasound through that much belly fat anyway?

Toby is irritating me more than he normally does.

I love how they addresses the racism from Grandma, They explained it in a way that applies to a lot of people.

I hated him last year when he showed up at the fat camp, etc but feel better about him this year. Kate and Kevin are battling their addictive personalities at the same time in his little apartment so understandably he is like WTF is going on. I think he is handling it pretty well.

I also think Jack committed suicide. I think his worst nightmare was being the kind of father to his kids that his alcoholic father was to him. I think we will see some of it next week when Jack's father returns to the show. I think that is why Kevin looked at Jack on the tv screen and then caved in and took a pain pill. It was like screw you dad, you gave up and so will I. Kate might have had some meltdown just prior so blames herself. I have no idea how the fire would factor in though.

Does anyone think young Kate internalized Grandma criticizing Rebecca and that led her to think what Rebecca is doing (or not) is also criticizing just like Grandma?

I think Rebecca was careful with Kate 99 percent of the time but has a bit of her mother in her and Kate fixated on Rebecca's slip ups. For example, after Kate's first show her mother said to Kate that she will learn to handle a crowd (or something like that) which was horribly critical to say right away. And I remember from last season when the boys were eating cereal and Rebecca wouldn't let Kate have it and made her eat fruit. I think she fixated on those little kinds of things.

Actually, I think they did. She was in sort of a propped up position and they never showed anything from the chest down. It would have to have been transvaginal due to the early (6 wks.) date and also due to her weight.

Exactly, it was. And no, her weight would make it impossible to do a surface ultrasound. One of my friends (who is very heavy) had a similar issue and was freaked out that they couldn't get a read on the baby doing a standard ultrasound. No heartbeat, no image, nothing. So they did it transvaginally instead and all was well.
