This Is Us

Previously on This Is Us...

Oh, great.

It's been a hell of a week.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself.

Hey, Kate, Kevin and I

were just talking about going out to the cabin.

You want to join us?

Can you do this?

Can you be the man that I need you to be?

Can you be the father that Jack needs you to be?

You go to the cabin, and leave Jack here with me.

I'll take care of him.

I need to spend time with my son.

You want to waste your life just working at a stupid job?

- That's fine, but I have bigger plans, okay? - Marc, please, please slow down!

I'm worried about Kate.

I think she's in trouble, Kev.

We have to go get her.

Can anyone tell me what I'm holding in my hands?

- A lunch box? - No, not a lunch box.

- It looks like a lunch box. - Well, I know that it

looks like a lunch box, but this is actually a time capsule.

- Ooh. - I water-proofed it, I dirt-proofed it.

This can withstand all the elements.

I could be watching Jurassic Park with Sophie right now.

Kevin, don't be fresh.

This matters a lot to your dad. And... to me, to both of us.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

This is gonna be great.

I have always wanted to do one of these.

So, each of you guys is gonna pick something special

to put inside the capsule.

All right, then we're gonna, we're gonna bury the capsule.

And when you turn 18, we're gonna come back

and we're gonna dig it up.

So, figure out what you want to bury,

and put it in here, okay?

I'm hitchhiking back to Pittsburgh.

Nice, Kev.

You know, Bec, I don't know

if you're actually into this whole thing

or you're just humoring me, but either way, thank you.

Eh, what can I say?

You're very, very cute.

- I love it out here. - Me, too.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

What are you gonna put in your time capsule?

Well, here we are.

Pearson family cabin.

I'm really sorry about before.

I... I love you so much.

You still love me, right?

Of course I still love you.

Good.

Come on.

I'm gonna kick his ass.

Stop it.

No one is kicking anyone's ass.

I'm sure I'm just being paranoid.

No, you're not... the fact that you let that creep take Kate

to a cabin in the middle of the woods is insane.

Hey, you have no idea what you're talking about,

- because you're never here. - Can't be an actor

- in Pittsburgh, Randall. - Oh, yeah.

'Cause God forbid you miss out on Guy Drinking Sunny Delight.

It's a national commercial,

- thank you very much. - That's totally gonna

- win you an Academy Award. - Shut up. Seriously?

Guys, can you please cut it out? Come on, it is dark

and slippery, all right? I don't need the two of you

going at it right now.

Sorry.

Sorry, Mom.

All done.

That's it? Ah, no, there's still

a blank spot over here... hit me with another tulip.

Dad, I got to go finish packing for Grandma's.

Have fun at the cabin.

Thanks, Pop-Tart.

Hey, baby, you better hit the road

before traffic gets bad.

You sure you don't want me to come

with you guys to visit your mom?

I am sure.

You need to relax.

Take a break from all things burglaries and muggings.

Attempted mugging.

That's right, Batman.

My mistake.

"Batman"?

- Mm-hmm. - I like that.

Oh, yeah?

Well, when you get back, we're using that.

Yeah, Jae-won calls me Batman, too.

Mm-hmm, we're no longer using that.

- Oh... - We are gonna be safe and sound at my mom's.

All right, we have security cameras streaming a live feed

over every door, window and crack in this house.

So, go.

Be with your siblings.

The fresh mountain air will do you some good.

All right.

Fine.

But, uh, for the record,

you don't need to worry about me, okay?

I'm good.

- I promise. - I'm glad, babe.

And, hey, at least you don't have to hide the truth about

your mom from Kate anymore.

No... I just have to hide it from my brother.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, hi.

Sorry to wake you up, I just,

uh, I was gonna say goodbye.

Oh, you're leaving?

Yeah, uh... you know, Randall and Kate and I

decided to take a last-minute trip to the family cabin

for a couple days, sort of, um...

Anyway, I got to go home and pack and...

Speaking of Kate, uh...

what do you suppose we should tell her about...

about this?

- Probably... - Yeah, I think, um...

I think, I think we just tell her that we're falling in love.

- Huh? - She'll be happy for us.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.

- Okay, all right, you got me. - Your face.

No, I-I thought you were

s-serious... you got, you're, that's good.

- I'm not crazy, Kevin. - Okay.

We haven't even been on a date yet.

Plus, what we did is... pretty messed up.

Best friend and brother hooking up

is a huge violation of lady code.

Yeah, I agree.

Kate doesn't need to know this ever happened.

No. No.

Okay, so, start with this milk in the fridge first, right?

And then, move to the ones in the freezer.

Okay.

Okay, and then, also, um, this is

a list of all the solid foods that we know that he's not

- allergic to. - Right, got it.

- Okay. Okay. - Okay, yeah, I got it.

Okay.

Oh.

- Oh, that's Kevin... he's here. - Okay.

Um, okay, so, so you know

- that the service sucks in the cabin. - Yeah.

But we have that Wi-Fi thingy, so if you could just,

just text, FaceTime, like, a lot.

- Will do, will do. - A lot. Okay.

- Okay, buddy. - Okay, Jack...

- Come here, Mama's going. - Okay.

Okay. Oh, no, no, no...

- It's okay. - Are you sure that I shouldn't

just take him with me?

I mean, you've never been alone with him overnight.

Kate...

Jack and I are gonna be just fine.

We are all gonna be just fine.

Okay, bubby.

- Okay. - I love you and I'm gonna see you really soon.

I love you.

Okay, all right.

Okay, Audie?

I will see you soon, too, okay?

- Okay. - Keep an eye on them.

- Okay. - Okay.

Okay...

All right, say bye-bye!

Oh, yeah.

Hey, well...

Looks like it's just me and you, kid.

Oh, my God.

Just pick something to bury.

This is important, Kevin.

It has to be able to withstand the test of time.

And I really don't

want to make the wrong choice.

There they are!

- Hey-oh! - Hi!

Welcome to the Pearson family cabin, where the fire

is roaring, the herbal tea is a-brewing,

and the puzzle is a-piecing.

Wow, you seem a lot better than I thought you'd be.

You know, yesterday on the phone you, uh, seemed a little...

Wait, Randall, you really messed up your hand.

- Uh, I know. - Oh, nice.

I was in the thick of it, but, uh,

- I'm doing much better now. - That makes one of us.

How you guys doing? You want to talk about your stuff?

- No. - No, not really.

We watched six hours of John Wick

on the airplane so I wouldn't have to think about my engaged ex-wife,

and she wouldn't have to think about

the fact that Toby hates their son because he's blind.

- Hey! - Whoa.

Sorry.
