This Is Us

Previously on This Is Us...

I've decided to have gastric bypass surgery.

- Uh, I'm gonna do it. - Do what?

The surgery. I just don't want you to freak out, okay?

Don't worry about me freaking out.

Uh, well, I do have to worry about it, Kate,

because the thing is, is that I'm kind of in love with you.

I'd marry the hell out of you, Kate Pearson.

Yeah, I'm gonna continue to date Sloane

because she's kind, and she's sweet, she's funny.

And-and, you know what? Sometimes you just got to

do the right thing, even if it's not what you want.

This cancer is coming for me sooner than later.

I can feel it.

The medication isn't working anymore.

Do you want to stop the chemo, Will?

_

Surprise!

Yeah!

- Perfect. Yes! - Oh!

Good job.

Oh, is that what we're doing now?

We love cake!

We love cake! We love cake!

One, two, three!

Eyes closed. Eyes closed.

Smile.

That's it, putting this camera down.

Oh!

He's in, he's in, he's in.

I'm going deep.

Oh, no.

- Baby, I can't do it. - Oh, come on.

Kids are turning ten tomorrow, right?

They don't need more toys, but a dog.

Baby,

our beautiful children need a beautiful dog.

Okay.

- Get them a dog. - Okay.

And then get them a new mommy who will walk it.

That's fair enough, but, um...

do you, uh, do you want to interview these women,

or do you trust my judgment?

Oh, you're lucky you're cute.

- But am I cute enough to get lucky? - I don't know, are you?

Guys, we need to have a meeting.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What happened to knocking, huh?

And since when do you call meetings?

Yeah, last I checked, we...

- we call the meetings. - Yeah.

You attend the meetings, and then we continue to feed you.

That's-That's the deal. What's up?

We want our own birthday parties this year.

- What? - What?

But you guys love sharing a birthday party.

You get the... the three layer cake,

and the birthday banner,

- and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. - The... donkey.

Mom, we're gonna be ten, we're too old for donkeys and banners.

I want a Madonna party.

Sophie and I love Madonna.

- You do? - Hold on a second, who's Sophie?

- My best friend. - What happened to Grace?

- We drifted. - I want a Princess Bride party.

- Princess Bride? - You want what?

Kevin, seriously, you were terrified by that movie.

That's when I was nine.

Now that I'm gonna be ten, I love it.

Okay. Hey, Randall!

- Come in here, son. - What's going on?

Are we all getting checked for lice again?

No.

Baby, do you want your own birthday party, too?

- Meh Kevin!

- Hey. - Stop.

Uh, maybe we could invite some of your friends from school.

That's okay. They have a rule that if you have a party,

you have to invite the whole class. It's too many kids.

- The whole class? - So we do the whole class.

The whole class!

Can I have a magician?

Uh... yeah.

- Right? - Okay, I'm in.

Okay, so...

Meeting's over. Thank you, everybody.

Thanks for stopping by!

I know, "shut the door".

What just happened?

Uh...

So, let's talk dates for your gastric bypass.

Yeah.

Does the first week of February work for you?

Yeah, or...

never at all.

Either one of those sound good to me.

Kate...

what's going on?

- I got engaged. - Congrats.

Thank you.

But my fiancé...

sorry, that's just crazy to say.

Fiancé.

I have a fiancé. I feel so French.

- Your fiancé... - Uh...

he just had heart surgery.

And it was terrifying.

And the thought of either one of us having surgery, it...

Wait, am I insane for wanting to bail? I don't know.

Oh. I-I just don't think it's the right time for surgery.

At least not now.

But... Damn.

I was excited to lose some serious weight,

and quick.

Kate...

have you ever considered an immersive weight loss experience?

A fat camp?

There is a incredible facility upstate,

in the Adirondacks.

It's a month-long program.

No distractions,

no temptations.

Total focus and a lot of hard work.

I'm late. I'm late. Juice?

- Oh. - Yeah.

- Bam. - Thanks.

And how about some yogurt real quick?

Can't, Tyler wants to see me first thing.

- About what? - Mm-mm.

What's cookin', good lookins?

Oh, you know.

- Wednesday. - Ah, Wednesday,

the meat in the Tuesday-Thursday sandwich,

and what a sweet, sweet meat sandwich it is.

You okay, William?

Okay? Am I okay?

Mm, yeah, that's the question on the table.

"Okay" does not do justice to how I feel.

I feel better than I've felt in months.

Mm.

I feel like sex, I feel like magic,

I feel like music, which reminds me,

Tess lent me her iPad.

IPod. That's an iPod.

You say "pod," I say "pad."

Let's call the whole thing off.

Can you show me how to put my music in this?

- I've really got to run. - Thanks, son. I'll go get my list.

Okay.

- Ooh! - Uh...

Chemo boost.

Happened to my dad when he stopped his treatment.

His energy's not being zapped anymore.

Well, good, I guess.

Hey, can you help him with his music?

- I got to run. - Sure.

But how about having a little yogurt...

No time for yogurt, baby. No time for yogurt. Love you.

I got a hot minute for some yogurt.

Hey, you.

- Have a good weekend? Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Good to hear. Mine was all right. I, um, saw a movie...

No.

- With, uh... - No.

- What's "no"? - No small talk.

No pretending like things are good with us.

You said that dating me was the right thing to do.

You basically called me

the girl equivalent of wearing a seat belt in a cab.

Okay, listen, I understand...

No, okay, we work together. That's it.

Let's come in, rehearse the play, get out.

Okay.

- Great. - Great.

Still really, you know, feel like you would've loved

my movie recommendation, so...

Your loss.

Did you remember

to write your name in all of your underwear?

It's not that kind of camp.

- Oh, okay. - Okay?

Are you sure that you're okay with me doing this?

I know this isn't the best timing for us.

Of course I am okay with it.

Kate, we have the rest of our lives to spend together.

Or at least the rest of mine, I had a heart attack at 40,

- so I'm going first, obvi. - Toby.

Look, this is an incredible opportunity,

and I want you to do it for yourself.

And Dr. Singh doesn't want me

travelling for at least another two weeks

so I will just get to know the Big Apple a little bit.

Do you know anyone in the city?

Not a soul.

But I will be fine.

If Macaulay Culkin can do it, so can I.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- This is gonna be so awesome. - Yeah.

- I bet it's gonna be so hardcore. - Uh-huh.
