So wonderful to see 50-somethings find love after all the knocks they've been through in life. So beato see Miguel's devotion. The Billy Joel song couldn't have been better placed...plodding melody...leading to the inevitable end. The highs of loving someone creates the lows of losing someone. The window into the reality of aging... the very real reality for most women of outliving their husbands.

I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it.

Any television show that can touch so many emotions in 60 minutes is uniquely high calibre. I see awards for Jon Huertas (?) from this episode.

Watching it now, I agree. One of the best episodes yet. Made me forget about the awful rushed Kate/Phillip garbage the last few months.

The beauty of a life lived...with all the scars of decisions made, relationships that didn't work as you'd hoped, times you didn't live up to your goals, bodies that give out...and within all of that, the optimism of finding love in the ashes, and making the best of what you have. I'm still tearing up thinking about it.

Life is imperfect and finite.

Ok. I will preface this by saying that I also love Beth. But does anyone else think the extensive fandom for Beth is a bit much? I love her character but find her so unrealistic. We never see her in an unflattering light. Convince me otherwise! I am sure I have forgotten a lot.

This was a very good episode. But boy, did it hot home because I’m the same age as the Big 3. The shifting generations, loving childhood, children become parents, parents become grandparents, and eventually the children care for their parents like they cared for them growing up. I couldn’t help but think about my own parents and the years ticking by.

I was too distracted watching last night (another reason I usually avoid watching shows “live”) and missed the tears. Was it little boy Miguel?

*curious about the twins ages too, but meant to ask about the big 3, the triplets, not the twins.

If the big 3 are about 50 — did they do nothing to age the actors besides put wedding rings on the. And have Kate wear a solid dress and use hot rollers?

I didn't like when she called her old ballet teacher after decades to dress him down for not being supportive. That was weird and cringe-y to me. It would have been enough for her to use his behavior as inspiration to be a different kind of ballet-school director, which she did. I also thought she was unfair to Randall to withdraw her support for his campaign so close to the end of it. She gave her blessing at the beginning, and it was asking a lot to take it back after he was fully committed. (This is way back when they had the "big fight.) That said, I love Beth's character. What I like about the show in general is that everyone is flawed and doesn't get it right every time, but they do their best and keep the family relationships going over time.

Gosh, Beth Pearson needs her own show. She’s the best.

The big 3 are my age (41) and this is how I understand timeline-
Big 3 born- Rebecca is 30
Jack died- Rebecca was 46, big three were 16
When Miguel left for TX- Rebecca was about 50 and big three were 20 (bc Randall in middle of college then)
Miguel found her on FB- 8 years later so that would make Rebecca 58 and the big three 28 when they walked in on them kissing
Kate’s wedding- 5 years into future so that means Rebecca is 76 and big three are 46
Miguel’s death- I think it seems to be 1-2 years after Kate’s wedding. ?? So Rebecca 78ish, big three 48ish, and Tess would be 20 (in college)

I wouldn’t think Miguel would decline that much in 1-2 years. He ended up with a cane and glasses. And I think Miguel is older than Rebecca by about 5 years? I’m also thinking 10 years since the wedding when he dies. Rebecca’s dementia must have been diagnosed around when the kids were in late 30’s based on young Jacks age it would have been 6-7 years before the wedding. Which means she’s gone approximately 20 years with dementia. Not realistic. And care and medications do not make a difference with dementia.

So did Rebecca have more years with Miguel than Jack?

Just started watching - East Liberty is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Miguel's dad! Of course it isn't far from Pittsburgh!

I thought they got together in 2008ish? So about 14 years with Miguel and 26 years with Jack (1972-1998).

The timeline is so confusing. I thought they were together late 50s-late 70s?
