I liked Kate more after this episode because she didn't ask her Dad to get the dog, and she explained why she is the way she is to Toby, and she feels guilty and ruined her life because of her Dad's death which wasn't her fault.

Jack was crazy for going back in, no one asked him to do it. Also, it seems like it would have taken more time to gather all of those things.

I didn't understand the little boy foster child storyline. Why was Randall there if another couple was there for the little boy?

Because he was there to take his adult daughter Tess to lunch. She was the one facilitating the placement.

And that was Randall 15-20 yrs from now and an adult Tess. A preview to season 10.

they should have at least made Randalls hair gray so that would be more clear.

It was! And this was right after the scene with present-day Randall talking to young Tess about how he would come visit her at her "fancy" office and they'd have lunch. Not to be snarky, but do you people even pay attention??

No kidding, every episode this happens.

It was when the boy met his adopted parents, the moment I started paying attention!

I haven't seen last night's episode but read the spoilers. So is the tree in the Pittsburgh area? Because the SuperBowl episode made it seem like the tree is in New Jersey.

Yeah, this is some continuity issue. NJ is not that close to Pittsburgh - depending where in NJ and where near Pittsburgh, it's at least 4 hours. And Kevin was with his Mom in the morning, and then by the tree during the Superbowl while still light outside.

And he was able to watch the last part of the SuperBowl with his mom.

I mentioned the light issue in an earlier post too. He called his mom from the tree and was the SuperBowl starting by that point? It shouldn't have been that light out nor should it have been that nice out. It should have been colder.

I think that level of heroics was completely unrealistic.

And we're really to believe that in addition to the photo albums, the dog, and the video of Kate, he managed to get Rebecca's necklace??

The part I'm confused about is that if the dog and the albums etc. were on the first floor, where did he get the pillowcase? Aren't the bedrooms on the second floor? Did he go back up there for a pillowcase?

That was the scene that made me cry tonight.

If the fire started downstairs, how was Jack able to get out through the front door?
Also most of them he things he retrieved like photo albums seemed like they would have burnt by the time he went back in for the dog.

DP. He is the personification of the hubris of toxic masculinity. So certain of his own seeming invincibility that he spent his last moments grabbing videos and necklaces, rather than choosing the less glamorous path that would have allowed him to live to be there for his kids’ 18 birthday.

Just kidding.

^^ Sorry, I thought you meant the Super Bowl episode.
