[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kevin couldn't call his family in the audience - he had to be the one to leave because he has to make it up to Randall - for not being there for him in the past. Kevin says to Sophie that he has changed and this just shows how true that is. [/quote]

I know I'm in the minority here, but I rarely cry or get weepy during these episodes.  However, I actually got chills and tears when Kevin said, "I'm thinking about what my dad would do" right before the play started, and then we see him running down the street to help Randall.  THAT really got me.  It didn't matter to me that he left the actress stranded on stage and abandoned the play, because in that moment, all that mattered was being the man his dad had been and doing whatever it took to help his brother.  It also was very telling when, in the flashback, we see Kevin witnessing Randall having a breakdown as he's writing his English paper.  Instead of going in Randall's room to comfort him, he simply walks into his own room and shuts the door.  Present-day Kevin is thinking back on that moment, and wishing he had been a better brother and really been there for Randall.  He realizes it's not too late and that he can now redeem himself.

The scene of him holding Randall as Randall sobbed just tore me apart.  Much more so than any other scene or episode (except maybe the one where the mean girls write that awful note to Kate at the pool).

One thing I really need to know is this:  when Randall called Kevin, he called him a different name and Kevin looked really confused.  And then when Kevin arrived at Randall's office that night, he said something I couldn't catch - did he address Randall using a different name?  Was it an inside joke that I should be getting?  Anyone know what I'm talking about?[/quote]
