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.


I'm really annoyed at the regression in his story arc with series of women in the flashes forward. Seems to go against the character development he had when he flew with the twins back to Pittsburgh. What up with that?


I agree. It doesn’t make sense that he would waste his time with a series of bimbos when he has his two children to parent part-time.



The beauty of co-parenting is 50% of your time is completely your own. Shooting the Manny reboot one day a week? He's got plenty of time.


It’s not about having the time but being a good role model like his dad.



The women all seem nice, they're just young and not impressive in any way.


That is true, but they're treated by the family like objects of mockery, which is not cool. Even if they think it's Kevin that they're ribbing, it only works under the premise that the women are not worthy of consideration.




From the EPs:
DEADLINE: Five or so years into the future, Kevin appears further than ever from finding his true love and very close to the playboy we met in the pilot. Will that change by the time we get to the definitive flash-forward at his house, and should we read into the longing looks he gave Sophie at Kate’s wedding?

APTAKER & BERGER: Kevin’s always been our guy who takes one step forward only to take two big steps backwards. And it’s definitely safe to say he backslid a bit romantically after Madison ended things. Obviously, Sophie has held a special place in his heart for decades now. Maybe those were just longing looks they gave each other at Kate’s engagement party or maybe there’s still another chapter of their story to be told.


I literally just said this on like page 75. MAKE ME A WRITER This Is Us!

That happens with Alzheimers patients, regressing to an earlier life stage with no memory of huge chunks of their lives.

If the bra and cloths are in Kevin’s room, where’s the woman who owns the clothes?


Right. How does that square with hooking up with someone? Even if the hookup took place the night before, after the rehearsal dinner, the woman would go back to her own room to dress and do makeup.


She’s in the shower, people!



Except we hear no water running and Madison and Beth have no qualms about snooping in his room at that time?


Wait, what did I miss? Madison taking photos of clothes/bra? When was that?


It's in the preview for the next week's episode.

Ok, it looks like Kevin is looking back at a woman dressed in green. Don't know what Sophie is wearing but there is a young blonde in green sitting somewhere behind him.


Cassidy is supposed to make an appearance. Perhaps she is the mystery woman.



Looks like she's sitting next to Kevin at the ceremony. I don't think Kevin brought a date though, or there wouldn't be any mystery about the hookup's identity.


They’ve kept their encounters hidden from the family in the past by her choice.

I can't think of a worse plot twist. It would be counter to every single thing we know about Miguel for the last 40 years. I wish I could say there was no chance, but I'm not crazy about everything the writers are doing lately. . .


Me neither but it would explain why we don’t see Miguel in any of the death scene flash forwards.


I think next week sets up the huge amount of stress Miguel is under taking care of Rebecca, and he ends up having a heart attack and dying. Don’t see him leaving her at all.



This, this, this.

She doesn’t have to cheat on her husband; she could just break up with him before getting back with Kevin.


They were confused about who the woman is. But if the bridesmaid dress was there wouldn’t they have a pretty good guess.



Not a bridesmaid dress!

That would be more consistent with his character but, after what they did with Toby, I’m not 100% sure.

We have not seen Alzheimers significantly impact Rebecca and Miguel’s life up to this point other than memory lapses. Miguel’s frustration and desperation looks familiar to anyone who is a primary caregiver to a declining loved one, especially one with dementia or another cognitive impairment. If Rebecca ends up living with Kevin, it might be because he can afford round-the-clock caregivers for her mom but also because Miguel can’t deal with her not recognizing him any more and asking for Jack.
