+1. If anything, I would think a massive ceiling leak would be his memory, no? The big green egg was barely involved. Just another reason to think the writers didn’t map this all out fully before throwing these flash forwards in.
Ha! Makes me think a PP's speculation about negative publicity for an appliance. I could imagine that the company who makes Crock Pot raised a bit of a stink, the show writers did the episode alluding a big green egg disaster, and the show lawyers came to the writers and said, hey, let's not go through that again. Rework your plans for the marriage implosion day.

Yes, exactly. It makes it hard to buy the relationship.

I think madison has every right to be in the photos - as she is the brides best friend & one of the bridesmaids, and mother to the brides niece & nephew! but agree ... where are jack and hailey, that's weird they aren't in the picture
And they are kind of set apart from the others. Usually everyone is close together in a picture like that.

- with all the talk about the flash forward deathbed scene(s) I figured they’d revisited it. I can’t believe how much analysis some of the people on this board have done for a couple episodes way back when.
- I’m surprised no one mentioned how chubby jack was in the Phillip proposal scene. Toby’s worst fear came true and his kid got fat, but he outgrew it or got it under control because he’s fit in the later years.
I thought I had another observation but can’t remember it now.
I think the fat Jack kid was miscast. He didn’t look like the younger or older Jacks.
Maybe miscast but I am 100% sure that making him chubby was intentional based on the tension the whole food issue created between Kate and Toby.

This is the silliest thing I've read so far.

Also, Kate’s kids and Toby are NOT in the picture!
Kate’s kids should be in the picture but Toby?
I don’t think Toby, Madison or Elijah should be in the wedding picture. But if Madison and Elijah are in it then so should be Toby. It’s just a weird picture and I’m sure there is significance to it. Especially since Kate’s kids are missing.

She didn't open Kevin's either, right? You could just see through the handle that it was mostly full.
I was thinking about the Randall dynamic at the pool and it's interesting... I actually feel it in my family with a lot of siblings. I am a middle child (out of 6), I am pretty independent and don't need much, but I get upset that my parents don't offer as much to me as they do to my sibs. But, I know deep down they are super proud of me and just show it differently. I feel like that's what was happening with Randall - he was off on his own because he was thriving at swimming, but he was bothered that Kate and Jack were getting more attention from their parents. He didn't realize how important it was to his parents and how impressed they were by everything he accomplished.
PP, you remind me of my best friend, who is the middle child of three. Very accomplished, smart, together, independent. Her older brother and younger sister were a hot mess (though they have finally straightened themselves out). But my friend would always complain about the energy and time that her siblings took from her parents and how it wasn't fair that they were always focused on them. I always told her that she should take it as a compliment that they didn't worry about her and feel the need to clean up her messes because she was the "good, responsible" one. Its like Rebecca said to Kevin many seasons ago when he accused her of loving Randall more--no, she didn't love him more, Randall was just easier.

Sophie is in the green dress sitting next to Beth behind Kevin at the wedding. You can see her with her hair down if you take quick screenshots of the video.
