Kevin reminded her that he and his brother werent speaking anymore(?).
In other news, Kevins fiancee (???)
had morning sickness (were starting to run out of question marks, but ?
So its where things tend to come to a head for him and his brother and sister.
This episode gave viewers an unsettling exploration of Rebeccas deterioration.
I dealt with this with my father, I dealt with this with my mother.
Thank you for reflecting this experience back to me.
Will viewers have that diagnosis by seasons end?Yes.
Its definitely coming down the path for us.
The reality is, it actually takes a bit of time and testing to come to a diagnosis.
Miguel called Rebeccas frequent losses of her phone senior moments.
Was he in a bit of denial, like Rebecca?I think its a combination of two things.
Nine months after Kevins prophecy, his wish is coming true with marriage and a baby.
[Laughs] Its definitely fast.
It would be easier to swallow, timeline-wise, if it were someone whom we already met.
Theres definitely a fun guessing game of women in Kevins life, women in the show.
[Laughs] So I would say nothings off the table there.
Weve seen Kevin struggle with the close bond that Rebecca and Randall share.
Will there be repercussions from Kevin and even Kate over Randalls keeping Rebeccas condition a secret?
Is that the basis of this fight?It may be.
Theres just so many decisions and there are never clear-cut answers.
So, yes, I think that the secret could be it.
I mean, maybe his pregnant fiancee is Beth.
I mean, that was a decades-long, never-repaired sibling rivalry.
So somewhere between the two of those is about right.
I guess well have to have Jimmy Fallon pop up to broker their fight next time.
Is it notable that he isnt at Kevins 40th birthday party, considering that the party is in Pennsylvania?
Weve ended Kate and Toby in a really scary place in the middle of the season.
So, I dont think I would be as worried about why he isnt there.
How overwhelming is all of this for Nicky?
Is it a truly bittersweet holiday?Thats exactly right.
Hes entering into this holiday with enormous trepidation about seeing the family again.
Things really went off the rails for him the last time they all came into his life.
Hes very nervous about that.
And so Nicky is really giving the whole family this gift of this amazing memory.
Jack Jr. says that everyone is coming over soon.
Is LadyKryptonite5 about to play a significant role on this show?
Is there a super-cryptic hint that you want to leave fans with?A trilogy.
