It’s not Thanksgiving that we see that they are not talking it is on their birthday Aug 31stIt was this past Thanksgiving he calls her. The future Thanksgiving is the one where we see they are not talking to him. I don't know how far we are away from Thanksgiving at this point. I'm assuming it's suppose to be February, like we are in real life, so that is 9 months from now. We see Randall talking to a therapist next episode, would he be institutionalized that long???? I'm thinking not, but maybe he goes just for a couple of sessions, thinks he's fine and in a few months is where he will breaks down and then checks in somewhere. I'm just confused because I can't see any scenario where Kevin would be so mad at Randall that he won't talk to him, especially when he knows what Randall is going through.
HEY! Back off silver fox Kevin or I’ll come visit you with a shovel LOL
Great episode. I didn’t get that the house in the sketch would turn out to be Kevin’s home. How sweet that he lives in the house that Jack designed. It’s a gorgeous man..house..house...I meant house
After the awkward conversation between Kevin and Madison I am now 100% convinced she is now with child. They were dropping hints all over the place. Maybe as a DECOY though.
He directed the Kate-centric episode. Mandy Moore posted a set picture of Chrissy and herself doing the “are you on the drugs” scene with Justin in the middle and also the scene with YA Kate and Marc in the diner with Justin off to the side.Kevin Hartley directed this episode...or was it last week's? He directed one of them, anyway.
What were the hints? LOL I must have missed them!
I loved the episode. I loved when Randall said, "Joey Lawrence ain't got nothing on Tobias." Love how they support each other.
Man I hate that Mark guy.
TLDR. I apologize in advance. House foreshadowing led me down a rabbit hole.
The house in FF was a sleek modern nature oriented house. It was not a Hollywood house.
Kevin enjoyed living in the RV in the woods, and Nicky is with dying Rebecca.
When Rebecca got lost on 40th birthday, she said she needed to go back to her son’s house. The house was in the woods. After last night, I am pretty sure the inside on 40th birthday is like what we saw inside cabin last night. Same general floorplan. We hadn’t seen many interior cabin shots before this episode from the upper elementary/middle school timeline where cabin was visited on the regular. I think a key here is if Rebecca considers the cabin or one close by to be Kevin’s house. (Sorry, too lazy to go back and look at the flash forward 40th bday.) That was the Thanksgiving misdirect. Production wanted us to think “son‘s house“ was Randall’s, but police drove her to be with Kevin, Kate, Miguel and the unseen “pregnant fiancé.”
The facade of Jack’s house matched with entrance and feel of FF house. Kevin’s whole get my life on track by 40 is somewhat motivated to be a man like his father. To have a family like the one he grew up in. He has the means to produce Jack’s dream. Of course he would build the house. I would expect nothing less.
Randall pays cash for a black S class because he can. It’s the best, and he deserves and can afford the best. Kevin builds his father’s dream house because he wants to be a father like his dad and take care of his mother like his dad did. Kate wants Toby to be the same type of father to baby Jack that her father was to her. The Big 3 is the same us they have always been. They change and grow, but people are people.
I think the cabin/dream house and Rebecca’s illness cause a rift between the men of the family. Randall and Kevin both want to be in charge and lead the family as Jack would have. However, 1 is genetic, 1 is adopted, and Rebecca is married to Jack’s best friend who has expressed before there is a distinction between Pearsons and in-laws. We all have family drama. I think this will move from individual drama to full blown Pearsonacolyopse as there is a lot more to the family that Jack, Rebecca and Big Three at the time of the rift.
Now for poor Toby. He has been compared to perfect memories and an urn his entire relationship. Viewers all know Jack was flawed. Rebecca chose to love him flaws and all. The Big Three don’t really consider him flawed. I mean, he sacrificed himself for the family dog. I hope Kate can love Toby flaws and all; I am pretty sure he already loves her that way. I just don’t know if her mama bear will allow any flaws regarding what she believes she and Jack need...
I have just had so much jumbled in my head since last night. This ep was as good for the viewers as it was as an art form. Though the fire ep was necessary, this was much better for some plot resolution, IMO.Deeeeeeep
I think THIS is very likely to be the issue. Like when Kate made a big deal that her child would be Jack’s only biological grandchild. That was such a slap in the face comment to Randall (AND rightfully so!) and I can see Kevin doing something similar like “it’s my responsibility to carry on Dad’s dream.” Kinda thing.Randall and Kevin both want to be in charge and lead the family as Jack would have. However, 1 is genetic, 1 is adopted

LOL. really good thoughts. I was talking about the poster who said she is now convinced Madison is pregnant and that the writers left all kinds of clues to Madisons pregnancy.
Sorry, I just saw her mention the house. I should have clicked to expandLOL. really good thoughts. I was talking about the poster who said she is now convinced Madison is pregnant and that the writers left all kinds of clues to Madisons pregnancy.
BTW.. Justin Hartley is WAY better looking than Ben Affleck. NOT just my opinion!!!
Agreed!! That's just the first person who popped into my head when he came on screen in the flash forward.
