Good question! Her prince?
That's a good one for Kevin. He is building her that house after all.

I think their close bond developed later, and I think that's fine. Love is clear for all three even if the specific nature of bond might differ with each child.

YES. The repeated scenes at the pool are so saccharine sweet, I physically cringe. I get that we have to see the same scene through the three kids' perspectives, but please someone, make it stop!! Walking in - "GUESS WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU GUYS??!!?!?!?! SWIM GOGGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gag.
Also it’s annoying because I keep thinking I’ve seen the episode before.
Every trilogy each season has had repeated scenes like this.

I was wondering the same thing.
Called a taxi or Uber, then bused or took a train. Teens with a phone can figure out pretty much anything. Many kids can't afford to go home for every holiday. I couldn't. Plus his custody issue might have complicated.

Maybe Malik's parents came up because he didn't have time to go back to Philly.

He didn't decide anything. He knew what the Senator wanted to talk to him about, so he agreed to a meeting to hear him out. He'll go home Monday evening and tell Beth all about it and decide together, I'm sure.
He stated he would win, mom said to be fearless and now meeting the Senator. He’s already decided to run.
Beth would not go along if she didn't want to go along. She just wouldn't.
If Beth said she'd walk rather than go along, Randall would cave. He can't live without Beth. Of all the characters and relationships in the show, the only indispensable person to anyone is Beth to Randall.
I agree. She'll obviously get on board.

Yes, everyone is jumping to conclusions. Randall is NOT Toby.
If he and Beth have a fight about it, we’ll know then.
He almost didn't even have the meeting to discuss a potential run b/c of Beth's new dance studio. He certainly has her top of mind.
