One fight is Mark.
For the first time sinceepisode 5, we get another (albeit brief) look at Kates first boo.
When Randall tells Rebecca he doesnt like Mark, Rebecca says shes just happy Kate is happy.To be continued… Jack refuses, though.
Toby makes Kate promise not to loop back and try with the food until hes home.
He doesnt want to miss it like he missed the first roll over and sit up.
Toby returns that night to find fresh avocado from Gregorys garden and excitedly feeds them to Jack.
Kevins memory is of Jack delighting the toddler-aged Big 3 by making the sheets into a parachute.
We first see Kevin in bed, looking grim.
Theres a flashback to the moment after he and Cassidy hooked up.
Its the start of his fights with himself, Cassidy, and Nicky.
Nicky calls Kevin a wrecking ball.
Later, a panicked Nicky calls Cassidy and begs her to help him find a missing Kevin.
Cassidy agrees, even though shes dealing with her own stuff signing her divorce papers.
Turns out Kevins at a bar.
Hes sober but picks a fight and gets punched.
Cassidy and Nicky soon find him walking down a road.
Cassidy drives the Pearsons home.
Then, while Cassidy is treating Kevins wounds, she opens up in a rare way.
Instead, she just ruined her life back home.
Cassidy tells Kevin the divorce is her fault, not his.
Its a big win.
She and Kevin wish one another luck in finding their happy endings.
(Its obviously with each other!)
Back home, Nicky tells Kevin hes a good kid, and Kevin sees Jacks face again.
Kevin smiles as he remembers his father laughing with him during the parachute game.
In the middle of the date though, Deja and Malik start whisper-arguing.
It sounds like Malik is pressuring Deja into something.
Beth confronts her and she tells Beth to send Malik home, but wont say what they fought about.
Beth goes downstairs and demands Malik tell her what hes pushing Deja to do.
Malik boldly points out that Deja asked a while ago and they were too busy for it.
Beth realizes hes right and theyve neglected Deja in that way.
Beth says yes, to Dejas delight, but its clear Beth is not so thrilled about it.
Rebecca and Randall
Now for the second bed-making plot.
The episode opens with pregnant Rebecca and Jack talking baby names as they make the bed.
During one such visit, Rebecca admits she needs a job to pay the bills.
Randall drives her to an interview.
The interview appears to go well until Rebecca admits she doesnt know how to use the company software.
After the interview, while Rebeccas in the restroom, Randall learns Rebecca didnt get the job.
He confronts the boss, Mr. Simons.
Mr. Simons is sympathetic but mentions the software problem.
Randall says hell teach Rebecca how to use it over the weekend.
Rebecca sees Randall leave Mr. Simons office.
Randall says, I just want people to see you the way I do.
She stops herself and again insists Randall shouldnt be home with her worrying.
He says he likes spending time with her he calls it R&R time for their shared initials.
Randall plans a busy day but is frustrated when Rebecca is glued to her phone the whole time.
He also gets worried at seeing her misplace her phone and become frantic about it.
That night Randall asks if shes seen a doctor.
Rebecca gets mad, insisting shes fine.
When Randall doesnt let it go, she yells that shes still the parent and he the child.
In response, Randall implies hes been taking care of her like the parent for years.
Rebecca is mortified and angrily kicks him out of the guest room.
Im scared on so many levels.
How fast will Rebeccas health deteriorate?
How long before she and Randall make up?
When will their sorry come?
