We met an older gentleman and his granddaughter throughout the episode, and within it we learned that they occasionally speak Vietnamese, and the grandfather liked to cook for a woman he cared about dearly. That woman, at least based on the aforementioned photo, was Randall\u2019s biological mother Laurel.<\/p>\n<p>So what is going on here? We know that Vietnam holds a special place in this show, given that this is where Jack Pearson served; meanwhile, we\u2019ve also seen Kevin and Zoe <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> there in the present timeline. Note that there\u2019s no confirmation that the grandfather was in Vietnam during the episode, but the tie to the location is still there \u2026 and it\u2019s no coincidence that it was crafted to make you think of the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want some more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> on\u00a0<em>This Is Us\u00a0<\/em>in video form?\u00a0<\/strong>Be sure to watch the latest below on this past episode.

We\u2019ll have more updates coming soon\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a new interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/this-is-us-dan-fogelman-kevin-madison-randalls-mom\/\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, here is what executive producer Dan Fogelman had to say about the decision to make the grandfather have Vietnamese heritage:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">That\u2019s certainly purposeful. Not just because of Jack having served in Vietnam. When the story is told to completion, you will see that it has to do with time and real-world history. And the fact that you\u2019re going back into a story in the past, it\u2019s existing inside of the same world and world events that were existing in that same time period when Jack was in Vietnam. So there is connective tissue. I\u2019ve always set out to make the show feel like one of those sprawling family sagas that spans a few generations in a novel, where there\u2019s different chapters, different periods, and different points of connection, even if they\u2019re not direct points of continuation. The Vietnam War could have had a myriad of butterfly-type effects that could have affected the same family\u2019s story in surprising and different ways.<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean that this grandfather knew Jack or someone connected to him? Not necessarily, but this is a show with a very specific soul. Even without making full coincidences, even partial ones can prove fascinating in its own right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related News\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to see a promo for what is coming up next on This Is Us<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_want_to_see_when_it_comes_to_Laurels_history_and_timeline_on_This_Is_Us\"><\/span>What do you want to see when it comes to Laurel\u2019s history and timeline on\u00a0<em>This Is Us?<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the comments below!
