Why did they make Elijah look so bad at the engagement party?



Wasn't he just standing there, being his usual schlubby self?


+1. He never looks great.

Agree with that! I was a little horrified by that scene.

Also, when Toby says he's taking the LA job and Kate responds, okay: She wasn't thrilled. She likes being on her own with the kids to herself. That was NOT welcome news to her, so the best she could muster was a neutral "okay." Felt really bad for Toby. And that crappy little windowless office at his new job. He made all the sacrifices. I can't think of a single thing she did to save the marriage.

Someone on reddit said that Kate is attracted to broken men, which you could see when she lit up toward Phillip after he told his sob story about the dead wife and why she doesn't like new Toby-not-a-coping-mechanism. It's an interesting theory. If true, then she would have perceived more of Jack's dysfunction than she is consciously aware of. She thinks of him as the perfect dad and husband, but some part of her brain knows otherwise.

Considering how the writers have handled Kate’s relationship with Phillip, I bet Kevin ends up with a new character we haven’t yet seen. We won’t have the benefit of seeing their relationship progress (just as we haven’t with Kate and Phillip) but we’ll just be expected to understand that Kevin got his happily ever after, too.

Too obvious. They are trying to throw us off.


No mentions of Zoe. Is it possible or Kate invites her to the wedding and they reconnect? The only reason they split up was he wanted kids and she didn’t. Now he has kids and she doesn’t need to be a parent to them. Plus he ran into her in LA working on her movie so she could be out there full time.



Well she'd need to stepparent 50% of the time so I think this is a definite no.

I thought Kate pointing out that Sophie was married was the red herring.

I think the writers have written themselves into a corner. At this point no-one has come close to his love for Sophie, and it will be weird if he ends up with her and weird if he doesn't. Given the Katoby writing, I am not optimistic this will be handled well either way.

I want more of musician Jack’s story and maybe young adult Hailey!


We would need a new season for that! Too many loose ends to cover with the big 3 as it is.

The series continually cues us to the fact that Sophie is the love of his life but I agree with a pp, will be pissed if she cheats on her husband. I hope the writers resolve this in a satisfying way not a lazy way.



Since we now know the key is Kate’s second wedding, it will either turn out that Sophie and her husband are separated/divorced, or there is someone new there who ends up being the one for Kevin. My money’s on Sophie but it’s stupid writing, when they could have simply kept her single and unwilling to go near Kevin with a 10 foot pole after her hurt her so badly 2x.


I don't see Sophie cheating with Kevin. I just can't get there.

I think they are going to have an episode about each kid's future - next week may be a blend, but I am sure we will get a Randall and Kevin episode too.
