Previously on This Is Us...
What is so terrible about me
right now?
You're just different.
Moving here is the only way that
we are gonna stay a family.
Did you, uh, fill Sheila's job yet?
No, but we're looking at applicants.
I'd like to be considered.
- BETH: Jack!
- TOBY: Jack!
Jack!
Jack?! Where are you?
Hey. Hey, buddy.
Hey, buddy, Grandma's here.
I told you to listen for the click.
Maybe I would have heard the click
if you weren't yelling
at me all the time.
I don't know if Toby and I
are gonna make it.
(AFFECTED): Marriage...
Marriage is what brings us
together today.
Coming in, coming in,
I don't know the rules,
but I gotta get something
cleared for the toast.
I just need to know if movie quotes
- or impressions are allowed. That's all.
- KATE: Yes.
Yes. This is the last time
I'm doing this,
so go crazy, brother.
You look beautiful.
Okay, get out. Get out.
- Bye-bye.
- The whole thing, it's really great.
- MADISON: Bye!
- KEVIN: Oh, come on.
Geez, k*ll a guy for trying to deliver
a perfect wedding speech!
Ah, your brother's an idiot.
But he's right. You are beautiful.
Philip is going to lose it.
You are the perfect bride.
And this is going to be
the perfect day.
Beth, we both know today will go wrong
in a thousand ways,
but it doesn't matter.
Kate Pearson, you are
an incredibly zen bride.
Have you been hitting my CBD pen
in that dressing room?
(LAUGHS): No.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
Hi.
Hi.
Um, hey, listen, I know,
I know you're getting married
in a few hours. Um, congratulations.
I just, I just wanted to say...
Kate, you know what you said to me
the day we signed our divorce papers?
Yeah, I remember.
I want you to know...
that I see it now.
I'm sorry it took me so long.
If only I'd had a crystal ball,
if I could've seen the way
that this all ended up.
Yeah. Life would be much simpler
if we could live it backwards, huh?
♪
Well, they're both sleeping in.
- Small miracles.
- Yeah.
I imagine Jack is pretty spent.
I am going to take
the job here in L.A.
The one that I turned down.
It'll be a huge step back
in my career,
but I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to save our family.
Okay.
Um, we've got to go
to couples therapy.
And I know that you haven't
wanted to in the past.
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Whatever it takes.
Whatever it takes.
- You're home!
- Okay, you ready to help me?
This one? Okay.
Can you hand that one to Mama?
- Be careful. Careful.
- Here you go, Mama.
KATE: Oh, thank you.
- TOBY: All right. Here we go.
- JACK: Yes!
TOBY: There you go.
Yeah, and so Toby
was trying really hard
to make San Francisco work
for all of us.
I mean, k*lling himself basically,
coming back and forth every weekend...
A-And Kate was incredible
with the kids.
She picked up so much of
the slack while I was gone.
♪
I hope this classroom treats you
as well as it treated me.
This is for you.
Now, I'm going to start
walking you through
your new duties as a supervisor.
- This is your office.
- TOBY: Oh. Right.
Welcome aboard.
Yeah, thank you.
(HUMMING)
What's that song, Mama?
That is a song that I'm teaching
the kiddos at school.
(KEYS JINGLING)
- Hey. Hey.
- Hi.
- (HAILEY BABBLES)
- How-how was your day?
Oh, yeah, it was great. Yours?
It was fine.
I'm sure she'll be here any minute.
Traffic this time of day
can be so unpredictable.
Yeah.
We've been coming here for six months.
She knows how long it takes
to get here.
Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
Jack's teacher cornered me at pickup
and then he guilted me
into buying the new class bird.
So, anyway, um, I did my best. Sorry.
Sure you did.
What is that supposed to mean?
Toby, it seems like
you're having feelings
about Kate being late.
I'm having feelings about
Kate being late again.
You know, you could be
on time if you wanted to.
You don't have to spend minutes
talking to Jack's teacher
every time you pick him up.
I am polite to our children's teacher
because the way that I treat them
impacts the way they treat him.
Something you might know if
you ever spent a second longer
at his school than you have to, right?
Okay. Wow. So now I'm not
spending enough time at Jack's school?
Good to know. Another secret test
about our kids that I didn't
know I was failing.
I am really so tired of this.
Every day
it's just like a different
version of the same fight.
It's like we are trapped
in a hellish version of Groundhog Day.
Dianne, you've met a lot
of miserable couples.
Some make it, some don't.
In your professional opinion,
which kind are we?
First, she's not a Magic Ball, Toby.
Okay? And maybe if you actually
listened when we come here,
we might be in a different spot,
right?
- You think that.
- Okay, you know what?
Screw it.
You can come late, I can leave early.

wedding venues yet?

Yeah.
I'm gonna go say hi.

There it is. All this time

the only crime that I can consistently

Yeah, don't worry.
British people don't yell.
Even when we're furious, we just
wrinkle our noses disapprovingly.
I'm sure this is all pretty
rich coming from me, huh?
Based on what you've heard
about me. As a dad.
I've heard nothing
but good things as of late.
Yeah. Not good enough, I guess.
How do you mean?
I thought if we worked hard,
if we fixed what was broken,
that we would...
...that we would find our way
back to each other.
But instead we got divorced and, uh,
Kate found her way to you. So...
I-I'm sorry. This is, this is
kind of getting off the rails.

drained our bank balance,
just sucked all the lightness

a fourth time and...
I refused.
She said I was giving up
on our life together.

I said I no longer recognized
our life together,

I don't want to be alone.
Okay? I-I don't want to
have to start over.
I don't want to have to live
half of my life without my kids.
We can, we can, we can
get better. I know that we can.
This cannot be the way
that our story ends.
Please, please, please,
this-this-this cannot...
this-this can't, this cannot be
the way that it ends. Okay?
Toby.
I'm sorry. I can't.
I can't.
Well, I guess that's the last time
that I'll ever kiss my wife.
I'll-I'll see you Wednesday.
It's gonna be another scorcher, so...
(DOOR OPENS)

- Hi.
- Hi.
It's a bit of a scorcher, isn't it?
It is.
(EXHALES) Thanks for offering to hang.
Well, yeah, I remembered it
was a, uh, big morning for you.
Thought you could use a friend.
How was it?
It was brutal.
So, Koreatown, huh?
Are we doing a little post-signing
the divorce papers bibimbap?

KATE: This is not how our story ends.
Just because our marriage is over,
doesn't mean our story's over.
I mean, we were meant
to find each other
in that weight loss group.
We were meant to be together.
And now... we're meant to be apart.
And I know that one day
you will see it.
Kate, I promise you...
I will never see it.
Kate do you remember
what you said to me the day
we signed our divorce papers.
Yeah, I remember.
I want you to know
that I see it now.
