Also liked the Bec/Jack road trip. Mandy Moore has such a glow. I find myself feeling sadder and sadder about Jack’s death this season as they fill in their dating backstory.

I really loved this episode. I think TIU is at its best when it is showing how day-to-day life shapes people and their relationships. Even in the most awful time, and as messed up as he was, Nicky visibly let Jack in. Zoe is the best - not pathetic but strong and realistic. Rebecca taking the sting of the "Pittsburgh good" and turning it into resolve to move her relationship forward with Jack. It was a quiet episode in that way.

Are they still in an almost constant state of flashbacks?

Considering that Jack is a central character (and he is dead), yes.

I was heartbroken watching Toby trying to cope with his depression, as I've been there before. It looks like Beth might be suffering from depression now as well.

I think the Vietnamese woman that Jack was involved with dies. Or maybe she does have his baby, but he was never aware of it.

I am supremely sick of Randall always trying to save the day. If the residents of that town aren't interested in improving their lives, then he needs to move on and stop trying to insert himself. Get a job.

I love Kevin. He always, always makes me laugh. Actually so does Randall, when he's not being super earnest and in do-gooder mode. Beth too - very funny.

+1. I imagine it would feel like you are nine months pregnant permanently.

Roll your eyes all you want, but of course her weight is a distraction. You may wish it wasn't, but that doesn't make it so.

A distraction from what?

Like you would be unable to interact with a overweight person because you would be so focused on his or her weight?

That is your issue.

Distracted PP has issues.

If distracted PP has issues, then I guess I do as well. She is so morbidly obese, it is distracting.

It absolutely is. That's the only thing you can see when she's on screen - how heavy she is. It detracts from her otherwise excellent acting. I'm thinking about how much exertion it takes her just to get up when she's sitting down, or how heavily she must be breathing when she's out walking. It just looks so incredibly uncomfortable.

I didn't think that Beth lost her cool to the point that is was inappropriate to the situation. She must be a mom that NEVER has even raised her voice to her children.

+1. Her daughters should have apologised to her, not the other way around. They were way out of line.
