This Is Us

No. I still haven't heard anything.

I'm really trying not to freak out, Tobe.

Wait, someone's at the door.

No, it's just Kevin and Madison.

Oh, well, hello to you, too.

Um, will you just keep looking?

Just... I'll call you if I hear anything.

Okay.

- What's up? - Oh, God.

Mom went to get a birthday cake, and she hasn't come back.

I tried calling her. She's not answering.

So, Toby went to the bakery,

and apparently, she didn't even make it there.

- Oh, my God. - Okay. I-I'm-I'm gonna go...

I'm gonna go look for her. I'm gonna go help.

- Uh, are you okay? - Yeah.

- No, yeah, go. - You sure?

- Yeah. - Wait, what's going on?

Uh, no, nothing. I had a little morning sickness,

- but... - Oh, thank God. Um...

Yes.

Yes. Of course.

Um, thank you very much.

Yeah, we're here.

Okay.

S-So, the cops have her.

She, uh... She had an episode.

They're bringing her back here.

Let's all just, um...

Let's just stay calm.

We don't know what kind of state she's gonna be in,

and-and I don't want to panic her.

All right, ma'am, you're home.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Mom, come on in.

- Hi. - Hi.

Thank you very much for bringing her home.

Okay, thanks. Oh, how's she doing back there?

Uh, she's laying down.

She's a little nauseous.

My fiancée's got morning sickness

at all hours of the day.

Oh. Try ginger tea.

- Hey. - Madison okay?

Yeah. Yeah, she's okay.

- Did you hear anything from Mom's doctor? - No.

Miguel left her a message.

Kev, she was...

she was gone.

Like, like, her face was not her face.

I know.

It's too soon. I'm not ready for this.

Yeah, me neither.

Obviously, at some point,

you're gonna need to explain your use of the word "fiancée."

Yeah, it's a long story.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Well, it's a long car ride home.

True that. Yeah.

Okay, so, Kev, I tried calling you

for, like, two hours, and you weren't answering.

I'm sorry.

"THIS IS US" Season 05 Episode 02

Episode Title: "Forty Part 2"

I didn't... I didn't know you were, uh...

Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

I was just gonna call you about Mom.

The cops found her. They brought her home,

so she's-she's here.

She's safe. She's-she's resting, so...

Well, I wish I could give you a massive hug,

- but I don't know when you were... - I'm-I'm good.

I get COVID tested three times a week at city hall.

Plus Beth's turned into Fauci at home, so...

You guys?

Yeah, we're g... We, um, we quarantined

for 20 days before we got here, so we're all good. -

Okay.

I want to see her.

- She upstairs? - Yeah. - Yeah.

Randall.

There's no way we could've known this was gonna happen.

She was great before this. You can ask Kate.

I'm not questioning you, Kev. I believe you.

She's home, and that's what matters.

It's cool.

Cool.

Oh, hey...

Thank you for coming.

I know the last thing that you need right now is

a terrified, panicked text from your sister.

Randall.

- What... - Hey.

Sweetheart, I thought...

I thought you weren't gonna make it.

What, you think I'd miss our birthday?

Oh...

You know.

- Kate called me. - Mm.

Are Beth and the girls with you?

No, they're back home.

Next time.

I'm clear. Kev said you are, too.

I just want to be vigilant.

- Sit. - Oh.

You want to tell me what happened?

Mm...

I, uh...

I don't even know what to say.

Um, I went into town...

...and then the next thing I knew...

William was there.

I mean, obviously not William, but I...

Oh, God, I could have sworn it was him.

I've been thinking about him a lot lately.

Ever since we had our conversation about the trial,

and about me, um... keeping him from you.

We don't have to talk about that right now, Mom. That's...

Well, then, when?

Hmm?

Wh-What's going on there?

Oh, that's just some poison ivy.

Miguel and I have been gardening.

I already took something for it.

Do you think this would have happened in St. Louis?

I don't know.

- I'm sorry I pushed that on you. - No.

No, no, no, sweetheart.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Are Beth and the girls with you?

No, Mom.

- Uh, next time. - Okay.

Hey, excuse me, excuse me, um...

My wife is Rebecca Pearson.

I don't have an update yet, sir.

Okay, wait, I-I don't... I don't know what to do.

Um, what can I do?

You could pray.

Heh!

- What are you doing? - Kevin, you need to talk to Randall.

Kev, I have tried my best to stay out of this,

but now Randall's acting all weird with me, too.

We haven't even done our birthday chant,

and that's like canon.

- Oh, Kate, Kate... - No, Kevin.

The world is on fire.

This is enough. Fix it.

Hey.

You know, after seeing all those Internet videos

of random objects that are actually cakes,

it's kind of a letdown to have a cake that just...

looks like a cake.

You know...

...when Rebecca and I first got here,

we thought we were gonna be here for a week.

Two, max. Then that turned into a month.

Then two months.

But...

she just kept feeling better.

And I... I'm not an idiot or anything like that.

I know that there's-there's no secret magic

in the air that's gonna cure this,

but... she just seemed like Rebecca again.

You know?

And now, with this...

Oh, man. It's just gonna take the legs

right out from underneath her.

Okay, I'm gonna try to say something meaningful

right now, Migs, and I got to warn you,

it is gonna be a reach. So, you just bear with me, okay?

Okay.

So every morning, I take 20 milligrams of an antidepressant.

Uh, I'm not sure who else knows that besides Kate,

but it's-it's not a big deal.

So, about a month after I started taking, uh, the meds,

I called my doctor to renew my prescription.

And he said, "Oh, no, don't worry about it.

You have automatic refills."

That hit me... really hard.

You know, it just made it feel so indefinite,

so... so permanent.

I said, "Is there ever gonna be a time

"when I am noton these meds?

I mean, is-is this ever gonna end?"

And... and then he...

He says, "One day at time."

- Hmm. - One day at a time.

An excellent TV show, and a terrible answer to my question.

Now, I don't know how it feels

to stare down Alzheimer's.

But I do know how it feels

to look at your life

and to see all the things that you want from it,

and to have them all seem so unattainable.

Rebecca had a bad day.

She's gonna have more.

You know.
