In the real world, Rebecca\u2019s nurse notes her declining condition just as the rest of the group is gathering in the living room and kitchen to chow down on some Chinese takeout. As the family makes small talk, Toby (Chris Sullivan) offers to pay Kevin (Justin Hartley) for the food, something Toby says is a callback to their old dynamic.

Brown) wanders on the perimeter, looking at photos of the family just as Philip (Chris Geere) arrives with Hailey and young Jack. But where is Kate (Chrissy Metz)? She\u2019s coming in on a plane from London after <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing to widen her curriculum. Meanwhile, Deja notices Randall playing with Jenga blocks and he mentions how it\u2019s a waiting <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and wonders if he\u2019s doing it right? She tells her dad that there are no rules, and takes the opportunity to tell him that she\u2019s pregnant forcing him to keep his reactions contained.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that the pregnancy is a surprise as she worries about the fact that she and her boyfriend aren\u2019t even married yet. As the food-eating winds down, the nurse bursts everyone\u2019s bubble to inform them that they should start saying their goodbyes. Uncle Nicky (Griffin Dunne) is the first to ask if they should draw straws, but Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) is quick to volunteer as Rebecca\u2019s first visitor.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting by Rebecca\u2019s bedside, Beth talks about the challenges of motherhood and how you never really know what you\u2019re doing, but oftentimes, she was doing her best impression of Rebecca because she was one heck of a mother. Meanwhile, out in the living area, Kevin and Randall chat with Kate over FaceTime and she regrets having taken a trip abroad for work, but her brothers reassure that their mother wouldn\u2019t want it any other way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1044915\" style=\"width: 854px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1044915\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1044915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan-844x570.jpg\" alt=\"This Is Us Season 6 Justin Hartley Chris Sullivan\" width=\"844\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan-844x570.jpg 844w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan-428x289.jpg 428w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan-570x385.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-chris-sullivan.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1044915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Ron Batzdorff\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>They promise to tell Rebecca that she\u2019s on her way, but Kevin and Randall warn Kate that there\u2019s a chance their mother could be gone before morning. When Beth returns to the living room, Randall asks what she said and Beth refuses to share, just saying that she hopes Rebecca is at peace soon. Randall wrestles with what he wants to say, hoping he can let her know that it\u2019s okay to leave, but doing so in a way that won\u2019t scare Rebecca.<\/p>\n<p>In retaliation for Beth not sharing what she said to Rebecca, Randall teases that he has a secret, but he\u2019s a little premature in gloating. It turns out that Beth figured out Deja was pregnant a while ago, noting that she has a mother\u2019s intuition about these things. As the night carries on, Kevin pulls out a box of Rebecca\u2019s old records and puts on a Joni Mitchell disc, as the whole Pearson family reminisces on memories of the past.<\/p>\n<p>As the living room serves as a celebratory area, Rebecca receives more visitors in her room including Toby who thanks her for always believing in him, even when things didn\u2019t turn out how they thought they would. He also jokes that she loved him more than Philip.

As the evening begins to wind down, one by one the family begins turning in for bed until it\u2019s just Kevin and Randall still awake. Together, the brothers walk into Rebecca\u2019s room and they reassure her that Kate\u2019s on the way. Making small talk, the brothers discuss Pilgrim Rick, a snow globe from their past, and Kevin\u2019s splatter painting that still hangs on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>In another room, Deja\u2019s boyfriend arrives and wakes her, saying the nurse let him in. It turns out that she and Malik made it after all as he says he left the restaurant as soon as he read her text. He tells her he\u2019s loved her since they were sixteen and shares that he\u2019s thrilled she\u2019s pregnant and he looks forward to getting married.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, the nurse tells Randall and Kevin that their mother is a fighter as she made it through the night. Standing by Rebecca\u2019s bedside they watch the kids play outside just as Kate comes running into the room. She tells her mom, \u201cits\u2019 me, bug.\u201d Together, they say their final \u201cI love yous\u201d to Rebecca as she breathes her last breath. Rebecca tells her to say hey for them, suggesting that she\u2019ll be reunited with Jack (Milo Ventimiglia).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1044913\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1044913\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1044913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"This Is Us Season 6 Susan Kelechi Watson\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-mandy-moore-susan-kelechi-watson.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1044913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Ron Batzdorff\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Aboard_Rebeccas_Final_Train_Ride\"><\/span>All Aboard Rebecca\u2019s Final Train Ride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Rebecca\u2019s in a faraway state to her family, she envisions her final hours as a train ride where she begins the journey sitting and waiting while looking out the window. When someone approaches her, she mentions how her dad always wanted to take her on a train like this one. Looking up then, she comes face to face with William (Ron Cephas Jones) who sits down next to her.<\/p>\n<p>When she asks about the poem that she used as inspiration for Randall\u2019s name, Rebecca asks William to recite it. Getting up, William asks Rebecca to accompany him to the bar car, but she insists that she\u2019s still waiting for someone. He promises her that she can still wait, but that she needs to follow him.<\/p>\n<p>As they walk down the cars, Rebecca passes a younger version of herself sitting opposite of her father like the occasions when they rode trains together in her youth. When Rebecca hears Beth\u2019s voice over the intercom, she looks to find that Beth in her teen years and adult life is sitting there as well sharing the words viewers saw in the real-world setting, but William insists that the train is moving fast now and they need to keep pace.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1044912\" style=\"width: 390px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1044912\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1044912\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-380x570.jpg\" alt=\"This Is Us Season 6 Justin Hartley\" width=\"380\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-193x289.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-scaled.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1044912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Ron Batzdorff\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Continuing on, Rebecca sees another younger version of herself looking at a painting before peering to the other side of the bar car to find Dr. K (Gerald McRaney) behind the counter. Little moments surround the warm and familiar face like The Terrible Towel Rebecca gave Jack for his birthday that she went into labor along with his makeshift cupcake. A Steelers game plays on the TV in the background and Rebecca spies a mug with Jack\u2019s face on it above the cabinets in the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at a bowl of lemons on the counter, Dr. K offers to make her a limoncello, but Rebecca requests a vesper, a cocktail her dad used to enjoy. Taking a moment to look around them, Dr. K tells Rebecca her kids grew up well, pointing to tables with Randall and Kevin at all three stages of their lives. She points out that Kate isn\u2019t there though.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca admits that she\u2019s spent so much time worrying about them, but Dr. K says she has to trust the process now. Reflecting, she mentions that she made so many mistakes, but he points out that no parent is perfect. Dr. K then makes a shocking reveal, saying that he thought he might lose Rebecca the day she came into the delivery room all those years ago. He then points out that she had the will to survive, even if she ended up losing a baby and eventually Jack.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1044911\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1044911\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1044911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"This Is Us Season 6 Chris Sullivan\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-chris-sullivan.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1044911\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Ron Batzdorff\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dr. K tells her to look at the life she made for herself, adding, \u201cyou\u2019re as tough as they come Rebecca Pearson.\u201d Before turning to walk away, she says how he was a great doctor, even if he was only her doctor for a brief time. Taking William\u2019s arm, she continues walking through the train cars, passing Annie (Faithe Herman) and then Kevin and Sophie (Alexandra Breckenridge) at various ages.<\/p>\n<p>She passes an adult Randall doing push-ups with a young Randall on his back, while an older Kevin looks over baseball cards with his younger self. When William comes to a stop, Rebecca finds the current car holds Miguel (Jon Huertas) who remarks that she\u2019s still the same, one of his favorite people. Their reunion is brief as Rebecca\u2019s journey towards the caboose car continues. But Rebecca is determined to wait for Kate. When William opens the door to the car, there\u2019s a bed and beside it, a young Kate sits with a smile o her face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is quite sad,\u201d Rebecca says, turning to Randall, acknowledging that the end is here. He tells her if it\u2019s sad, it means that it was a great thing while it was happening. William tells her that everything ends, but if you take a step back to look at the whole picture, she can see how it\u2019s the beginning of a beautiful new thing, kind of like Kevin\u2019s splatter painting. Bidding each other adieu, William lets the door close behind him as Rebecca turns to the bed. Sitting down, she lays back and rolls over to find Jack laying beside her staring deep into her eyes. She\u2019s reached what she deems to be heaven.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1044914\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1044914\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1044914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"This Is Us Season 6 Justin Hartley and Sterling K Brown\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/this-is-us-617-justin-hartley-sterling-k-brown.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1044914\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: Ron Batzdorff\/NBC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Framing_Story\"><\/span>The Framing Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The episode is framed by the story of a young man named Marcus Brooks. His story begins during a car ride with his parents and siblings but when a minor backseat scuffle turns into a major distraction, they end up in a roll-over accident. At the hospital, the whole family is okay, except for young son Marcus who is touch-and-go in the operating room as blood flow to his foot decreases.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a moment to breathe, Marcus\u2019 father (played by Dul\u00e9 Hill) goes to find coffee where he bumps into a sooty Jack. They get to talking and Jack brings up how his house burned down earlier that night, he then asks the man how he\u2019s doing. The man admits it\u2019s the worst night of his life as his son is currently in surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Jack tries comforting the man, saying that he was in a tough position roughly eighteen years ago when a man gave him solid advice. Jack then imparts the wisdom of \u201cif you can take the sourest lemon that life has to offer, and turned it into something resembling lemonade,\u201d then you\u2019ll do okay. It\u2019s at this moment that Marcus begins coding on the operating table.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully the staff manages to keep his heart going, but it\u2019s only moments later that Jack\u2019s fatal heart attack claims his life. The doctor is shocked as he can\u2019t understand how Jack had been okay moments prior, while the little boy in the OR was hanging by a thread. It may not make sense, but it conveys the sense of everything happens for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>As Marcus\u2019 story jumps to the future, we see him working in a lab looking for what appears to be cancer cures. Sadly, the lab he\u2019s working in is shut down due to under-funding, but a meal with his brother and sister cheers him. They encourage him and say that this won\u2019t be his last opportunity to make a difference, offering up those words about lemons that their father shared with them.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that Dr. K\u2019s motto, shared by Jack with their father eventually became their family motto too. And it turns out that Marcus goes on to make a breakthrough in Alzheimer\u2019s research, a cause near and dear to the Pearsons. If Marcus didn\u2019t make it, would Rebecca have managed to hold on as long as she did with her Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis? We\u2019ll never know, but it goes to show, that you can never see the full picture until you take a step back.<\/p>\n<p>See how the Pearson family\u2019s story comes to an end when the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> finale of <em>This Is Us <\/em>airs next week on NBC.
