This Is Us. Anyone watching?

How old is Kevin now? Is he 40? So this is 5 years in the future? And I wonder who Nicky is married to? Also it looks like they started a construction company?

I assume to Sally Brooks, or whatever the old gf who he looked up is named.

How do we know it’s five years?

Kevin was saying he’s 45. And I think they are all 40.

I found a recap here that explains the last scene. I guess I missed a lot while watching.

Me too. And I found this:

Woah! Did not see that coming (did anyone??). SPOILERS AHEAD!!

I rewound and watched the end again. The paper Kevin had contained a heading saying BigThreeHomes (I think it was homes). So many questions: Are Kevin and Madison back together or just friends? Where is Toby?? We did see him (and not Kate) in the flash forward at Kevin’s house. But the English guy who tells Kate he doesn’t much like her? And did Nicky mention a wife?

I felt for Madison. She definitely could tell that Kevin was not really in love with her, but more in love with having a family. I think the young actor that plays Tess does such a good job. Her discomfort at the bridesmaid dress felt very real.

Waiting will be hard, but better to have one long run than the disjointed on/off we got this year.

I fell asleep and missed it. Hope its recorded

Wow! Very surprising!

Wow that was a shocker! I saw the Madison thing coming. I was a bit annoyed at Tess. They have a lot to wrap up next season!

I said to my DH, tell Tess for one day wear the dress at your uncle’s wedding! It’s not about you. I was surprised Rebecca insisted on talking about Randall trip on Kevin’s wedding day but their discussion was sweet. The Kate surprise at the end was quite the cliffhanger! Madison scenes from the past were so sad :disappointed:

Changing the dress brought Tess and Beth closer.

Harvard? I didn’t see that coming

I thought the wedding dress looked great

I loved this episode and hate that I have to wait until 2022 for the next season. In the meantime, I wish one of the clever recappers on Vulture or one of the other sites would make a timeline for all of us. For example, the final scene last night has jumped almost 5 years; however, the flash forward scenes at the cabin show grown up Tess and Daija. If Daija is in residency, those would be around the time the Big 3 are 50 or so - right? And I’ll be interested in seeing where the plot with grown up baby Jack (wasn’t that early in season 4?) fits in. There are so many loose ends to tie up.

That is ~10 years in the future - somewhere between 2031 and 2034.

If someone does a rewatch, I think it would be worth tracking all the plane flights, including To/from.

Wow, what a great last 5 minutes! I’m so bummed we have to wait an entire year. It better be worth it!

I know it was a good outcome but maybe because I have sons I would not have thought about changing her dress.

Unpopular opinion, but newsflash, you are not supposed to be comfortable in a bridesmaids dress. If you don’t want to wear the dress, don’t agree to be a bridesmaid. On this day in particular, it’s not about you :roll_eyes:

Then don’t ask teenagers to be your bridesmaids. :wink:

Let’s not get tied up in the dress but the symbolism of the dress situation - which was another ballpark home run for Beth.

I also loved the wedding scene the little big 3 did with their parents.

Just when I was starting to enjoy Kate this season…is SHE the one who leaves the marriage I wonder?!
