I think she is separated at the time of the wedding and that’s what she and Kevin talk about. But she didn’t tell Kate yet.


+1 This series is all about being with the one(s) you love and not wasting the time you have left. Kevin has only truly loved Sophie and vice versa.

I think Rebecca's condition makes it so she's stuck in the past with a younger version of Kevin and Sophie, but her belief in their strength their love and as a couple transcends time.





Hasn't Rebecca done this twice now? It will be maddening if Kevin and Sophie don't end up together, whether in the near future or later, given all of these meaningful references and the pining!



Yes, and the ep with Sophie’s mother’s death and the emerald ring. No way that ring doesn’t end up in the picture again. And wasn’t it embedded in a similar story—divorced grandparents who married others but later found their way back to one another?



Not quite that similar but close. They fell in love while divorcing others but were separated due to the Korean(?) war before they could marry. I think Sophie looked at the ring during that episode but wasn’t wearing it. That’s important plus no husband at the wedding probably.

That didn't make sense to me either. It would have made much more sense to have her sing at the ceremony and do it early in the day.


I’m assuming Miguel knows her “schedule” which is why he wanted it done that way.

Bizarre. It's Kate's wedding!

Also, re Randall's girls, didn't Randall mention jokingly that one of them (Annie?) was there as his security detail?


Made absolutely no sense not to have her two kids in the photo when they were in the wedding. They should have been in the middle with Kate and Philip!

Another huge backer of both of these here. Watson has been the best part of every episode for years and Moore is killing it this season.

Emphatically agree with both points.

I really loved to see both Madison and Cassidy living joyfully. I wanted Madison for Kevin but mostly I just wanted a good life for her. Both Madison and Cassidy deserve to be happy.

It's going to be Sophie. Rebecca specifically mentioned her to Kevin when they walked -- it's going to be her. Nothing will happen at the wedding because she's married (thought this may be where we learn her marriage is in trouble). But they get together in the future.
