Hes minimizing the risks of another heart attack and trying to be healthier for his son.
She works through these feelings, in part, via interactions with her new neighbor.
So Kate hears him out.
RANDALL
Here we get our first in-depth look at Randalls councilman life.
And, true to form, hes seemingly far too dedicated to the notion of constituent service.
He and Jae-won have also bonded more deeply since we last saw them.
Shes speechless, and he tells her because he likes her and wants to be up-front with her.
Yet he learns that it wont all be so rosy.
Randall begins having the kind of panic attack we know will continue into adulthood.
He doesnt know what to do.
But Kevin takes matters into his own hands.
He shows up, forges their mothers signature, and calms him down.
Later that night at the house, the family comes back together.

Randall is still shaken by what happened at school.
Through their day-to-day troubles, the Pearsons find room for a little levity.
