This Is Us

Previously on This Is Us...

Nick, Franny...

Yeah. - This is your cousin Hailey.

Oh, beautiful.

Aw, look at her.

The new Big Three.

We are so happy you are here.

I think we have to remember how much pressure

she's under, you know, and to take great care not to...

exacerbate said pressure.

You're trying to tell me how to speak to my daughter?

No, ma'am. No. II- Mm-mm.

Earlier today, when I was on the phone with work.

I got laid off.

And I've been torturing myself

for the last few hours 'cause I knew I had to tell you,

but I didn't want to ruin

today.

You are never gonna ruin anything.

Okay? Let's just be a family today.

You ready

to bathe three brand-new babies

back-to-back-to-back?

We're about to find out, aren't we?

I got it all set up here.

Yeah?

Let's go grab them.

Hey, I'm just using the Palmolive.

That's okay, right?

I'm kidding.

Okay. How 'bout a little massage after your bath, milady?

Hmm?

How's she doing? - She's good.

Let me get in on this here.

Ready?

Wax on,

wax off.

Time to get up. You're up.

Already? I just fed them. - Yeah.

I know. Come on.

I feel like all I do is breastfeed. - Aw.

And, oh, my God, I am wearing cow pajamas.

I am literally a dairy farm.

Okay!

All right.

Hang on, guys.

You think we have enough for two babies?

...uh, making his first, uh, appearance

on network television tonight. A short appearance...

Grogu, give me the ball.

Come on.

Looking at you in the face, Monique,

you're not remorseful. - Not right now.

Don't you be a Monique.

They really are beautiful.

I can't stop staring at 'em.

She's perfect.

Okay.

Hey. - Hi.

You know you can't hide out here forever.

I'm not hiding. I'm just enjoying the view.

The view is a fence.

And you brought out a heater.

And a-a coffee maker?

All right, look,

I'm grateful that your mom came to watch the girls

while we were in New Orleans.

But we've been home for a while,

and she's still here.

And even though I love family,

it is not easy being around you two.

The tension is thick,

and the porch is...

not inside.

She follows me around with a Swiffer.

I mean, I know how to keep a home,

Randall. - I know you do.

Anytime the girls don't use a plate,

she looks at me like I raised a pack of wolves.

I hear you.

Thank God she's leaving tomorrow.

She wants to have a big family dinner before she goes,

and I am gonna pull out all the stops.

I'm telling you, her favorite curry chicken.

Uh-huh. - Mm-hmm.

Linen napkins. - Carol's Last Supper.

Oh, no, no. It's much more than that.

It's the "make a perfect dinner to prove

"that I'm a capable mother

so she can stop judging me" supper.

Oh, good.

I love a dinner with something to prove.

Come in from the porch.

Coming in from the porch.

Do we have to watch this?

Hey!

You're supposed to be making lunch

before your afternoon classes.

Tess,

phone can wait until after school, okay?

I'm texting with Alex who's in my math class.

Technically, it's school-related, so I'm good.

I want to watch NCIS.

Annie, that's for old people. No.

Grandma got me into it. - I don't care.

Mark Harmon's a dreamboat.

A dreamboat? Hey, girls, come on.

What are you, like, 65?

You've been watching TV all day.

That's not fair.

Ladies. Ladies.

Turn off the television. Let's clean up this mess.

Tess?

Let's see if we can find

something healthy in the kitchen.

Mama C, what time does your train leave tomorrow?

You trying to get rid of me, Randall?

I- No, ma'am.

I was just... - Well, that's good.

Because Amtrak has a "no change fee" policy,

so I delayed a week.

Seems you could use an extra set of hands around here.

Darling, throw these in the garbage, please.

And this.

Hey. - Hi.

Look at you, person who showered. - Yeah.

And I brought you something special.

You are not a cow. You are a beautiful woman.

So I bought you...

a beautiful dress.

And I was thinking maybe tomorrow night

we invite Kate and Toby over for dinner.

I already checked with Natasha. She's fine to stay and help out.

So, you know, we sit down, we have a meal at a table.

What do you say?

Can I pump and have a half glass of wine?

Yeah.

Gimme that dress. - There you go.

Wait, like, a real dinner?

Like, with dinner plates?

Yeah, we're in.

I haven't even left the house

but to take Jack to his music class,

which he loves. But...

wow, dinner would give me a reason

to actually shower this week.

Hi.

Hey, Kev, can I call you back?

Okay. Bye-bye.

I do shower more than once a week.

I do.

Jack, it's Dr. Salzman.

Hi, Jack.

How are you? - Good.

We have missed you volunteering

in the classroom. - Oh, I miss it, too.

Yeah, it's just, um,

with the new baby, you know, it's been a little hectic, so...

By the way, Jack and I have been singing her

all the songs that we're learning here.

Aren't we, Jack?

Well, with you as her mother, she's bound to be musical.

Well, I don't know if she has a choice.

Yeah. So...

What else? Um...

I told you about my time with my last company.

Yes. You did.

Sounds like a great experience.

Uh, yeah.

It was. It was--

it was great.

Um...

So, that happened.

Look, Terrence, I know that this isn't going great.

Okay. This is, like, my 30th interview with no nibbles,

and it's getting kind of difficult

to give my all to a computer screen,

especially when I'm rocking my newborn daughter

with a nine iron in the garage.

So, uh, can we just cut to the chase?

Uh, do I have a shot at this or should we just call this one

and put some pants on?

Cutting to the chase?

You're our top candidate, Toby.

Let me talk to my partners and we'll get back to you.

Wow. Okay. Great.

Thank you so much.

Did Daddy possibly just get a new job? Huh?

I think he did. I think he did.

Wow. You look handsome.

Yeah, Miguel said I should probably wear a tie to dinner.

You don't think I look too much like a suck-up?

No.

You're not sucking up.

You are angling for a promotion,
