This is Us

Tess is having panic attacks like Randall. Randall gets a call from her school and he leaves a meeting with a councilman to go get her. Now that was a bold move. Is he forgetting that he needs help from the councilmen to make his job easier. I’m sure that will come up later. There is a flashback of Beth talking to Randall’s dad about anxiety. Randall is thinking he passed the trait to Tess. Beth has a talk the Tess and Randall about their anxiety. She later makes an appointment for Tess to talk with a doctor. Beth also wants Randall to talk to someone, but he is not interested and says he is fine. Beth sees and knows the signs.

Kevin is living in his trailer in PA next to his uncle Nickie. Why is Kevin trying so hard to fix the lives of people around him. Kate and Randall are worried about him and do not understand his current choices. Kevin is friends with a nine year old and his parents can’t understand why. I’m not sure where the story line is going with Kevin. I will have to see.

They flashback to a dinner with the family to celebrate Kevin and Sofie getting married. They just moved into a new house after Jack and Rebecca is trying to make the first dinner a success. Randall brings Beth from college. Migel is there as a guest of Rebecca. And Kate has a surprise date from a guy she works with. The dinner is burnt; everyone trying to carry on pleasant conversation. Then Rebecca gives a speech about remembering Jack and being about to talk about him and be happy. Rebecca admits the meal is awful and they all laugh and the mood is lightened. I look at this as just because someone is in a mood; but don’t bring everyone down with you. Life is too short for all the drama of making everyone around you on edge. Lighten up and enjoy the people around you. Rebecca orders pizzas and everyone has a good time. All Rebecca wants is for everyone to be happy.
