Previously onThis Is Us...

MADISON:
Hey, Kate, it's Madison.
I slept with Kevin.

Explain why you, famous person,
decides to sleep

with my closest friend.

-I'm pregnant, Kevin.
-KEVIN: To hell with it.

KEVIN:
I say we just get married.

Let's shock the world
and get married.

I got a call
from a talent manager.

And she wants me to go to L.A.

for a few months
so she can send me on auditions.

And what about you?
Will you be going with him?

Oh, I can't. I have school.

Yeah, and I'll be back
before Sophie can even miss me.

-JACK: What about right here?
-KEVIN: Yeah.

JACK:
Right here, right here.

They're your mom's favorites.

♪ ♪

Best movie ever.

Best movie
ever.

RANDALL:
Hey, sorry pilot season
didn't work out, Kev.

But, you know, it's really good
to have you back east.

-KEVIN: Thanks, man.
-SOPHIE: And look
on the bright side.

You got home just in time
for your wife's summer break.

RANDALL:
I have no idea how you guys did

cross-country
for four whole months.

Beth got this internship
in Boston this summer,

and, you know, just the thought
of us being apart is killing us.

Yeah, well, I haven't even
decided if I'm gonna take it.

You guys are being dramatic.
Boston isn't even that far away.

I mean, Sophie and I were
on different coasts for months.

It was, like, super easy.

[scoffs] I mean, I don't know
if it was that easy.

At least, not for me.

I'm just glad
that you're home for good.

Okay, everyone, we're leaving
for the cabin in 20 minutes.

I want to get up there
before dark.

I can't believe
I'm going to the cabin

with a bunch of couples.

You're not going with
just couples. You'll have me.

Oh, "Her mother said,
before Kate smothered herself

to death with a throw pillow."

Stop. You'll have me, too.

-[soft laughter]
-You're going to love the cabin.

-It's mad romantic.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm sure.

You know I dig it when
you wear your L.L.Bean.

[laughs]

BETH:
I got to admit,

I am very into
lumberjack Randall.

It's fisherman Randall.

Kevin got everybody fly-fishing
gear for the bachelor party.

What else you guys have
on the agenda this weekend, hmm?

Gonna order up some strippers
to the cabin?

[stifled laugh]

Put the "Oh" back in Poconos?

[laughs]

Nicky and Kevin are sober.

Toby isn't exactly rowdy.

And Miguel's idea of fun
is a crossword

and a strong herbal tea.

So we'll probably be
putting the "ay"

-in Earl Grey.
-Ugh.

Are you sure you want
to go out there early

for Madison's bachelorette?

With everything you've been
going through with the studio?

I'm actually
looking forward to it.

You know? Spend a couple days
in the sun with our girls.

And then your date
will meet you for the wedding.

Oh, well,
tell my date that I have

this newly-discovered thing
for fishermen.

-Mm-hmm.
-He should dress accordingly.

Will do.

Mm-mm.

Leave the boots on.

[whispers]:
Okay.

Babe, I don't know.
Is this, is this cool or lame?

I just want everything to be
perfect for Madison tomorrow.

TOBY:
Yeah, no, it all looks great.

Madison's lucky to have you.

Aw. Well, thank you.

The kids and I are lucky
to have you.

Babe, listen, why don't you take
this weekend to recharge?

Hang out with the guys
and get far, far away

from the Moanasoundtrack.

-Oh, God.
-You deserve it.

-Mm. Thanks.
-Mwah.

Yeah.

I will.
[sighs]

Don't forget your slippers.

You know your toes
get like ten little icicles.

Maybe I shouldn't go.

Honey, we've been over this
a thousand times.

I'll be fine.

We've barely been out of
each other's sight for a year.

Yeah, and it will be refreshing
to not have you watching over me

like a hawk for a few days.

Sorry. No, I-I didn't mean that.

Come here.

I'm fine. My meds are working.

My PET scans show
no further deterioration.

-I know, and it's amazing.
-It is. Yeah.

I will be fine.

Okay. You're right.

-Mm-hmm.
-[chuckles]

-But let me ask you something.
-Hmm.

-[laughs]
-Is it cool?

-It's cool.
-For the bachelor party?

-It's very cool.
-Oh, yeah?

-You look like Ponch.
-Really?

Officer Francis Poncherello,

Erik Estrada's character
from CHiPS.

[tongue clicks]
Still got it.

[whispers]:
Wow.

-Hey, hey, kid,
uh, you got room...
-Yeah?

...in your bag
for my new jigsaw puzzle?

No. No, I don't.

Uh, you're not gonna
want to bring

a-a jigsaw puzzle
to my bachelor party.

All right.

-[laughs]
-KEVIN: Am I having

the lamest bachelor party ever?

Uh, let's just say I'm not
worried about the cops coming.

Right. What about you?
You excited for your shindig?

You mean our babies spending
the day with the nanny

while your family
comes to hang out?

-Yeah.
-It's so embarrassing

none of my friends
could fly out early.

Well, no, look, I mean,
they're all babied up, right?

They're all on the East Coast.

Besides, the Pearsons believe in
quality over quantity.

-[Franny crying over monitor]
-Oh, God.

Uh, Franny's up.
I have about two minutes

to rock her back to sleep
before she wakes up Nick.

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Kevin. Hi.

Sophie, hey.

I'm sorry-- I didn't-- I didn't
think you were gonna pick up,

'cause I changed my number
and I figured you wouldn't take

-an unknown call.
-Well, what can I say,

-I'm a naturally curious person.
-[chuckles]

Right, um, anyway,
what I was going to say

in my voice mail is that I,

I saw your magazine cover,
about your engagement

and your twins, and, um...

I don't know, it just felt weird

not to call
and say congratulations.

Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.

Yeah, so... congratulations.

-[laughs]
-I... I mean, your...

your fiancée is beautiful,
and, um,

you have not one but two babies.

[chuckles]: It's... it's all
just really amazing, Kevin.

I'm-I'm really happy for you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Uh, so why'd you change
your number?

Oh, that's a long story.

They both took explosive poops.

It's an all-hands-on-deck
situation.

-Okay, I'm coming.
-[chuckles]

It's fine, it's fine.

You can just call me back.

Or you don't--
don't call me back.

You don't-don't-- That's weird,
you don't have to do that and...

No, no, of course, yeah.

No, I'll call you back, um...

You know, and we'll-we'll
finish catching up.

Yeah, okay. Bye.

Bye.

[birds singing]

Hey, Kev,
don't fill up on those.

I'm making mushroom risotto
for dinner.

Mushroom what?

I saw it on The Today Show.

Al Roker went crazy
for the stuff.

RANDALL:
So I was thinking, uh,

if we meet up every weekend,
like, halfway,

like, maybe in Connecticut,
it'll only a four-hour drive

-for each of us, so...
-Randall, are you still
talking about that?

Long distance is no big deal.
You guys are gonna be fine.

Really.

Will you stop saying that?

Saying what?

-That it's no big deal.
-[chuckles]

Being away from you
was really hard for me.

I missed you.
[laughs softly]

I missed you, too.
I'm just trying to be positive.

Be positive about what?
We're done

with the whole
long-distance thing.

Yeah, for now.

My manager said if I'm gonna
take acting serious,

I got to be in L.A.
pretty regularly.

So, what, you're just gonna
like, constantly be in L.A.

while I'm in New York?

How is this marriage gonna work?

[laughs softly]

I don't know, Soph.
It just will.

Okay?

Great answer. So glad
that you thought that through.

You are such a jackass.

[door closes]

There they are!
The bachelor party crew.

-What's up?
-How was the private jet?

Uh, well, Toby passed out,

so, Miguel, of course,
spent the whole time

searching for Wi-Fi
so he could get ahold of Mom

and Uncle Nicky took down

an impressive amount
of melon balls.

-[laughs]
-Sounds about right.

-You ready to get your fish on?
-Yeah.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Forecast says rain,

but I don't think
the big man upstairs

is gonna let that happen
to my bro on his big weekend.

Ah. Hope not.

-Hey, Kev.
-Yo.

You did it, man.

Did what?

You remember last Thanksgiving?

You said you wanted
to be married with kids

by the time you were 40.

Well, you're doing it.

It's out of order,
but, you know, still.

-NICKY: Randall! You've...
-RANDALL: Hey.

You've got
to try this plane melon.

It's... I ate 'em on the plane.

Oh, it looks, uh, interesting.

-[thunderclap]
-Oh, uh.

-RANDALL: Yeah.
-NICKY: Oh, wow.

-Let's get inside. Come on.
-Okay, okay.

[Randall clears throat]

Kate, I told you I just wanted
a chill girl's day,

and this is already feeling very
Eyes Wide Shut.

Okay, okay, one sec.
All right, all right.

-[singsongy]: You can
take it off.
-Okay.

ALL:
Happy bachelorette!

Oh, guys, thank you.

This is beautiful.

Well, only the best
for my future sister-in-law.

Aw. Hi.

Hi, sweetheart.

-Beth!
-Oh!

-Thank you for coming early.
-Oh.

Where are the girls?

Oh, they're back
at the hotel watching

-To All the Boys
I've Loved Before,Part 9.
-Oh.

Besides, I heard that this was
a strictly 21 and over event,

-you know, which I am here for.
-Oh.

Wait. Why is this a strictly 21
and over event? Hmm?

-KATE: Uh, well...
-[doorbell rings]

-Oh. Who could that be?
-MADISON: Kate.

-No. We talked about this.
-Listen, okay, just relax, okay?

I'm not gonna do anything
that's gonna land us

in, like, family therapy.

[whispering]:
Just take us right to the cusp.

-[soft laughter]
-Hi. Come in.

Uh, oh, wait.
Just to make sure-- you're...

-Vaxxed and waxed
for your pleasure.
-Sure.

Okay.

Well, come on in.

Madison?

Joe.

What's happening?

If I was a betting woman,
I'd say

our girl Madison has a little
history with the stripper.

He's not a stripper.
He's a model, right?

And he's from a place called
Picasso and Prosecco.

So he's gonna make us drinks
and then

takes off his clothes off,
and then we get to paint him.

I'm sorry.
How do you two know each other?

-We dated.
-Oh.

Really good to see you,
and, um, congratulations.

Thanks. [laughs]

So, uh, where should we set up?

And did you want to paint me
in boxer briefs or full nude?

The latter.

[rain falling]

This is why you should always
bring a puzzle.

I-I got to go check on Rebecca.

She hasn't texted back
in a while.

Miguel,
she's with Kate and Beth.

I'm sure she's fine.

-You guys decide on a movie yet?
-RANDALL: Um...

Hey, Kev, what about
Jerry Maguire?

You used to love this one.

YOUNG KEVIN:
Jerry Maguire?

I love this movie, man.

I saw it with Dad
when it first came out.

Uh, shouldn't you go check
on Sophie?

She should for sure just
blow off some steam.

Yeah. Yeah, I could go for a
little Cameron Crowe right now.

Let's do it.

I'll get some snacks.

Can I help you?

Jerry Maguire.

I work in your office.
I was on a junket.

JERRY:
I began writing

what they call
a "mission statement."

Not a memo,
a mission statement.

A night like this doesn't
come along very often.

I seized it.

Suddenly, I was
my father's son again.

I was remembering the
simple pleasures of this job.

...neural pathways are set,
and that's why

it's hard for people to change.

That's why behavior
doesn't change very often.

We live in a cynical world.
A cynical world.

And we work in a business

of tough competitors.

Wow, Mr. Pearson was
ridiculously handsome.

Even with the mustache.

[laughing]:
Yep, he was.

Hey, congratulations,
by the way,

on the internship in Boston.

It sounds very exciting.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm-I'm still pretty
50-50 on it.

I know it's none of my business,

but I think you and Randall
are strong enough

to handle being apart
for a few months.

If this is something
you're passionate about doing.

I know.

I'm actually not worried
about me and Randall.

It's this amazing
urban planning firm.

They focus
on creating these public spaces

for underserved communities.

That sounds like
a special thing to be a part of.

Yeah, it would be, um,

but it's also really intense.

Like, they give their interns
their own projects

to work on and manage and...

I just...

I'm just not sure how much more
failure I can take, you know?

Did Randall tell you
that I used to dance?

He did.

Did he tell you
that I used to sing?

Hmm. He did.

So I know the feeling

of having a dream cut off
at the knees.

But you... are too young

and too smart and too strong

to not find new dreams
and go for them.

And I suspect when you do,
you will blow everyone away.

Ugh.

I can't get the right color
for his nipples.

Hmm. Why don't you try
a little orange?

Oh.

Madison, is this too weird?

'Cause I can send him home.
Like, I have plenty

of other activities
that we can do.

No, it's fine.
Honestly, I decided

the best revenge
against a guy that ghosted me

is painting him naked
days before

I marry one
of People'sMost Beautiful.

-You're damn right it is.
-REBECCA: Wait.

What-what does "ghosted" mean?

It's when you go out
with someone,

and then they end things

by not returning your calls
or your texts.

Just disappearing,
like a ghost.

What?

That's horrible.

-Mm-hmm.
-You are horrible, Joe.

-I know.
-KATE: Well,

at least you never have to deal
with that crap again.

MADISON:
Here's to

-never dating again.
-BETH: Mm.

-Cheers.
-KATE: And to Kevin

knowing a great thing
when he saw it.

That part.

[laughs softly]

I mean, sure. Kind of.

Hmm? What do you mean?

I mean, you know,
he didn't exactly

jump at the chance
to be with me.

It took an accidental pregnancy.

KATE:
Come on. He would have
figured it out

-without that.
-Maybe.

But I certainly wasn't
reeling him in with the cute,

bantery texts I sent
after we slept together.

Wait. So, was Kevin being
a ghost to you?

Not totally.
I mean, he'd always answer me.

He was totally polite.

It's fine, you guys, really.

The night we got together
was super weird.

I mean, I understand why he
wasn't in the mindset to, like,

you know, ask me on a date.

Well, you know, I believe
everything happens for a reason.

-KATE: Mm-hmm.
-Thank God for Kevin's

powerful sperm making him
see the light.

That's my brother, but cheers?

-Hear! Hear!
-KATE: Oh.

WOMEN:
Cheers.

[laughs]

-Oh, my.
-Slight turn for me, Joe?

REBECCA:
Mm.

[mumbles]
Okay.

DICKY FOX:
I failed as much
as I've succeeded,

but I love my wife,
I love my life,

and I wish you
my kind of success.

Oh, man, still holds up.

I can't believe

they never gave Cuba and Regina
a sequel, though.

I would have watched
the hell out of that.

-Hmm.
-Kev, what'd you think?

-Yup.
-Everything
you remembered it to be?

I think you're right.
Still holds up.

That's it?

Dude, I remember when
you first watched this movie.

You nearly blew a hole
through the roof

you were so excited. [groans]

You must relate
to this movie like crazy.

It's practically the story
of your life.

What are you...? What's that...?
What do you mean?

Well, you know, I mean,
guy falls for the kid, or

in your case, the idea of kids,

more than he falls
for the actual girl, you know?

But he sticks by her
just because he's trying

to do the right thing.

You even look like him.

I mean, you sound like him,
you act like him. It's...

Like who?

Jerry Maguire!
You're like Jerry Maguire 2.0.

Mm. Yeah, look, U-Uncle Nicky,

I'm not marrying Madison
because I got her pregnant.

I'm... I'm marrying her because
I'm-I'm crazy about her.

Oh. Well, I'm...

[phone chimes]

Good news. Rebecca's fine.

She's just painting a naked man
with the rest of the wives.

To be honest, I failed
as much as I've succeeded,

but I love my wife,
I love my life,

and I wish you
my kind of success.

I forgot how amazing
that movie is.

Did you guys like it?

Cuba Gooding, Jr. and
Regina King kind of remind me

-of a certain couple I know.
-[laughs] Yeah, I saw that.

[both laugh]

That's it?

I-I mean, what about Jerry?

I mean, like, his whole
character, you know? I mean,

Jerry Maguire is the kind of guy

who decides what he wants,
and he goes for it.

I'll be back soon.

Your brother had, like,
a spiritual experience

-watching Jerry Maguire.
-Yeah. [laughs]

-I've never seen that look
in his eyes.
-Whoa.

I've always liked
Renée Zellweger.

When I first saw her, I said,

"You know, that's-that's a woman
that's going places.

She's extremely talented, uh,
she has a-a beautiful mouth."

Miguel, that is an extremely
weird thing to say, man.

Tobias? What's your review?

-Of the movie?
-Yeah.

I liked it.

Hey, are you okay, man?

You've been really quiet
tonight.

-Yeah. I...
-Why would you say that to me?

That I'm only
marrying Madison just

because I want to do the right
thing? Why would you say that?

Are we still on this?
I-I was just running my mouth.

I w...
Just forget I said it.

No, I don't want to forget it.

I don't want to forget it
because it's rude, man.

It's rude, and it's mean.

And, look,
I-I know you've been cooped up

i-in a trailer by yourself
for the past 40 years,

and you have apparently
forgotten how to talk to people,

but that doesn't give you
the right to come into a room

-and just act like a jackass.
-RANDALL: Kev.

Why don't you take a breath?

Yeah. I'll take a breath.

KATE:
Okay,

-who's ready
for the next activity?
-[phone chimes]

I got Kev to play
The Newlywed Game.

[gasps]

[Madison laughs]

-No.
-Hey, will you ladies
wait for me?

-This sangria's
going right through me.
-KATE: Okay.

-MADISON: What did you do?
-KATE: Well, we'll have to wait

-to find out.
-MADISON: This is crazy.

-KATE: It's gonna be so great.
-MADISON: Aah, I'm so nervous.

[footsteps approaching]

REBECCA:
Beth?

Oh. Hey.

What's going on?

I reached out to a job recruiter

just to figure out
my next steps,

and she got back to me
with a couple listings

from some very traditional
dance conservatories.

That's a good thing, isn't it?

Could be.

It's just these dance academies

took something I love
and made it joyless.

It's a broken system, Rebecca.

I just...
I don't want to be a part of it.

-You do know you're the most
impressive person I know?
-Oh.

-Right? No, no,
I mean it. I'm serious.
-[chuckles]

The...

The mom you are.

The career woman you are.

The wife you are

to a man
who is kind of a full-time job

-in his own right.
-[chuckles]

So I say

if these traditional
dance academies are broken,

go change them.

Go in there
and do what you always do.

[whispers]:
Blow us all away.

-Okay. Let's do this.
-KATE: All right.

Listen, full disclosure.
[chuckles]

I gave Nicky the questions,
and he recorded this,

so I have no idea
what to expect.

[Rebecca and Madison chuckle]

NICKY:
Where are the damn questions?

Hello, ladies.
I hope you're enjoying

Uncle Nicky's lovely,
charming commentary.

-[all chuckle]
-Here we go.
-NICKY: [groans] All right.

Uh, first question.

What is Madison's idea
of a perfect Sunday morning?

Okay, so, you're gonna answer,

and then we'll see
if he gets it right.

Okay. Um, well,

I kind of can't stop daydreaming

about when I'll be able
to sleep in again.

-[Rebecca chuckles]
-I think

Kevin will say
that my perfect Sunday morning

is sleeping till noon

and then hanging
with him and the twins

-in bed.
-REBECCA: Hmm.

-All right. Good answer.
-KATE: All right.

-Let's see.
-BETH: Come on, Kev. [whoops]

Uh... Well, let's see.

Um, she's been

sort of fantasizing a lot lately
about sleeping in.

-REBECCA: Aw.
-[Madison laughs]
-So I would say

sleep till afternoon,

um, and then cappuccino,

and we invite the kids in,

and we just sort of hang out
and cuddle in bed

for the next couple hours
with Thing One and Thing Two.

-[Madison squeals]
-Aw.
-KATE: All right!

-[Madison laughs]
-He knows your drink.

NICKY:
Now, that's the lamest thing

-I ever heard. Um...
-Just ask the next...

Okay. Uh,
describe Madison's dream

for your future together
once you're empty nesters.

Oof. Okay. That's a hard one.

It feels so far away.

Um...

I hope we'll travel a lot.

And go out

for long, romantic dinners

where we sit and talk
until they kick us out.

Like those older couples you see

who still haven't run out
of things to say to each other.

Really, I just hope
that things will slow down

and we can sort of...

-discover the world
all over again. Together.
-Ah.

Sorry. That was a lot.

-[laughs]
-KATE: So romantic.
-That was so beautiful.

-It was the perfect answer.
-KATE: So sweet.

Let's see what our Romeo says.

[Madison laughs]

Dream of a future together
once we're empty nesters.

-It's a trick question.
-NICKY: What do you mean?

KEVIN:
Well, Madison knows

that I refuse to grow old,
so the question is moot.

-[blows raspberry]
-Oh, my God.

[laughs]: I know Kevin
wants to stay 40 forever.

-I should've guessed that.
-BETH: Boo.

MADISON:
Okay. Next question.

[footsteps approaching]

SOPHIE:
There you are.

Good, you're back.

I wrote my mission statement.

Your what?

Like in Jerry Maguire.

His was about the future
of sports agencies.

Mine is about my future
with you.

[laughing]:
Oh, my God.

"Sophie,

"as you know,

"I have big dreams
of becoming a famous actor.

"I love you, Soph.

"And I can see
our whole lives together.

"In a couple years,
we'll have another wedding.

"A fancy one with guests
and cake and everything.

"And then a couple years later,
we'll have kids.

"And we'll be
the kind of parents

"that are disgustingly
in love with each other.

"Like my parents were.

"And one day, we'll be
that embarrassing couple

"that dances to the piano
in an Italian restaurant

"when nobody else is dancing.

"That's my ultimate dream,
Sophie.

You and me to the very end."

MADISON:
Earth to Kate. You got to hit

-play so I can hear
the next question.
-KATE: Sorry.

-Yes. Yes, yes.
-[Beth and Madison chuckle]

Uh, here we go.

Rain's letting up.
Nicky found some dry firewood.

He's got a nice fire
going on outside.

Think it's some kind
of caveman-esque peace offering.

My old Jerry Maguire
mission statement.

-Ah.
-Yeah.

Remember that? So embarrassing.

[laughs]

No, man. It's romantic.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Ah.

[Randall chuckles softly]

Sophie reached out to me,
and, um...

I don't know.
She said she saw the article

about me and Madison
getting married,

and she wanted to...

call and congratulate me, so...

I mean,

how does anyone ever really know

who they're supposed to marry?

You know what, man?

Come with me.

-Yeah? All right.
-Come on.

Listen up,

fellas. Our boy here's
got a classic case of cold feet.

I think he needs
a good talking-to.

-KEVIN: No, I'm fine.
-RANDALL: You are not fine,

-sir. You are a mess.
-Uh... Okay.

As for the rest of you,

you're not on top of your game,
either.

Okay, Miguel,

you have been obsessing over
our mother since you got here.

Tobias, you are missing

that usual je ne sais quoi
that makes you so appealing.

And, Nicky...

Well, you're always odd, so...

[Miguel chuckles]

So, what's up?
Who wants to go first?

Come on. Real talk.

[clears throat] This is
the lamest bachelor party

I've ever been to,
and I've never even been

-to one.
-Nicky, shut it. Please.

Who's first?

I'm, like, the world's
greatest rom-com fan.

Okay? Like, th...
Like, there's...

there's literally never been

a-a Hollywood ending
that I have not loved.

And usually, I hate it,

I hateit
when people try to poke holes

i-in the romantic ending.

But after watching that movie,
I could only think one thing.

They're just...
They're never gonna make it.

Nothing has changed.

All he did
was deliver an incredible line

to some divorce support group.
All right?

Jerry is gonna work too hard.

Dorothy's gonna resent him
for that.

And that little kid is gonna get
the short end of the stick

'cause they'll
never stop fighting,

and soon he's gonna be mad
and sad

instead of adorable
and precocious.

And I could just see
their whole little family

in-in-in this boat,

and the boat
is just-just filled with holes.

I'm s... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm in a weird place.

I...
[laughing]

I really, really need a new job.

I need it financially,

and I need it for my sanity.

And I haven't had a nibble.

Except for this one opportunity
in San Francisco,

which is clearly a nonstarter

for anybody
with two kids under two, so...

[sighs]

RANDALL:
Tobias,

you're gonna be okay.

Your boat's gonna
weather the storm.

I promise you.

[Nicky sighs]

That movie...

just-just put me in a bad mood.

You know,
like all romantic comedies do.

I mean, and romantic dramas
and romantic dramedies.

Yeah, you know, anything that...
where there's romance

-involved...
-Yeah, we get it, Nicky.

I just...
I-I just can't relate to them.

I just...

I had one relationship
50 years ago.

Sally Brooks.

And I blew it.

I blew it. I mean,
there's no second chances.

There's no happy endings.

I...

I lost the girl.

Roll credits.

And, uh...

And I think...

I think that's why
I said all that stuff to you.

I was just pissed off
about my own crappy love life.

I'm sorry.

Well, maybe
you were onto something.

You know? I mean...

Would Madison and I
have ended up together

if life hadn't thrown us
together in some weird way?

I...

I don't know.

[owl hooting in distance]

MIGUEL:
When your mother and I

started seeing each other,

I remember thinking a lot
about that expression

"written in the stars."

I'd always loved
that expression.

The idea
that the universe had big plans

for two strangers before
they've even crossed paths.

I remember thinking that's how
it was for your mom and dad.

Written in the stars.

I knew it wasn't like that

for me and her.

It was...

strange,
the way we came together.

I knew that.

And I was filled with doubt
on our wedding day.

For many days after.

But then...

the years went by.

And I realized:

it's okay.

That, yes,

there are some love stories
that are written in the stars.

There are other love stories--

they're written together.

Two people
the universe had no plans for

writing their story
in the stars together.

That's pretty fantastic, too.

Isn't it?

I think Jerry and Dorothy
made it, Kevin.

I really do.

[laughing]

This is the strangest
bachelor party in history.

Oh, it's borderline awful.

-RANDALL: Yeah...
-[chuckles]

Can the non-sober people
have, like, a beer?

[laughter]

Yeah, please. Please do.

Okay!

[chuckles]

Thank you, man.

I said yes to meeting
on those jobs.

Oh, Beths. That's great.

[chuckles]

Thank you for earlier.

What you said, you know?

I just--
I really needed to hear it.

Oh, please. You're welcome.

Hey, honestly,
I should be thanking you.

What? Why?

For opening up to me

about what you've
been going through.

Y-You sharing with me like that
made me feel normal,

not like... [inhales]

[sighs]
...not like some patient

that everyone
has to tip-toe around.

What are you talking about?

Miguel is...

an angel.

But I feel him worrying
about me all the time,

and it can be oppressive.

Mm.

Kevin and Kate

don't ask me to help out
with their kids.

And even Randall went on this...

road trip to New Orleans to
find out about his birth mother,

and he's barely even mentioned
a word of it to me, and...

I don't know, maybe he thinks
that I can't handle it?

But...

today...

...today, you made me feel
like me again.

Like a mom.

And a girlfriend.

Well, I'm not gonna stop
coming to you for pep talks

-anytime soon, so...
-[chuckles]

Same as I have all these years.

-Okay. Thank you.
-Oh.

Mm.

Yeah.

[phone chimes]

Oh.

-[car approaches]
-Yep.

-That's me.
-Mm.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Oh, Rebecca?

If you want to find out about
Randall's trip to New Orleans,

just ask him.

[departing footsteps]

[car door opens]

Kate, that red velvet cake
was insane.

You outdid yourself.

Madison,
I need to ask you something.

And it's something I should
have asked you a long time ago.

And I should have asked you
because you're my best friend.

[inhales, sighs]

But Kevin is my brother
and so it makes it delicate.

But I need you just to tell me,

you know,
best friend to best friend...

Are you happy?

Is Kevin
what you were looking for?

Like, is he everything
that you deserve?

I didn't know
what to expect out of him,

honestly.

[chuckles]

All that fame.

All those abs.

[chuckles]
The face.

But that movie star brother
of yours

has stepped up in ways
I never could have imagined.

I love him, Kate.

I really do.

And, Kate...

...girlfriends
do not come easy for me,

as you can probably tell
by my guest list today.

Nothing will ever get in the way
of that.

You got that right.

[both chuckling]

[phone ringing]

Hi.

MIGUEL:
Hi.

I just wanted to see
how your day was.

It was great, actually.

I had a lot of fun.

And I just got home,
safe and sound.

Good. That's good.

Um...

Look, uh...

I'm sorry

that I drive you crazy
with all my worry.

[inhales]

It's just, um...

It's, uh...

It's hard,

living in this limbo.

Not knowing how much time
we have left.

I know.

It's hard for me, too.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Rebecca. Hey. Uh...

I haven't been able
to get ahold of you at home,

and I was starting to get
a little worried.

Thought I'd try you up there.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I should have mentioned that
I was bringing the kids here

-for the weekend.
-No, don't be silly.

You having fun?

[sighs]

It is strange being here
with them this time around.

And seeing Kevin and Randall
in relationships.

[chuckles]

They both seem so...
[exhales]

...alive.

-[sighs]
-Yeah.

Today, for the first time
in a long time, I thought...

[smacks lips]

...maybe there's still some...

version of love out there
for me, too. [chuckles softly]

Well...

if that's something
that you're...

open to, Rebecca,

it will definitely find you.

I mean, of-of course it will.

-Uh, you are...
-[chuckles]

You're you.

[sighs]

How's the sky look there?

Mm.

It's beautiful.

Yours?

Same.

Can really see the stars
tonight.

[creaking]

-Hey, Nicky.
-Hey.

-What are you up to?
-Nothing. Why?

No reason. I just...

[exhales]

-Good night, Nicky.
-Night.
