What a time to be alive!
We really needed an episode that was all joy.
That sadness is a part of us.
Otherwise: all joy!
Even next-to-death Rose, wife of Tobys hospital-parking-lot friend, lives!
So lets talk about staying connected, baby.
Hey,This Is Usloves a good episode theme!
No, we havent met them here before.
Lets talk about all the ways the Pearsons are connecting.
And then Kevin walks in.
All we get here is a quick line about sending the TSA agent a holiday card.
Cool, cool, cool.
Yes they have two beautiful, healthy babies, Frannie and Nicholas (yes, after Uncle Nicky.
And yes, I am tearing up just thinking about it).
But come on the standout moment here is the phone call between Kevin and Randall after the birth.
Itll be interesting to see what he does next.
Hopefully, it includes getting into the same room as his brother and giving that guy a hug.
The Pearson boys are healing, people!
In case anyone forgot, Kate is also having a baby tonight!
He has a very nice setup, though!
See what I mean about all the joy?
Whats going on up in the delivery room is a little more complicated.
Kate is clearly worried about connecting to her new daughter as a mother.
You see the fear on Kates face.
But then she finally gets Hailey in her arms, and the relief and joy is palpable.
I feel like Ive waited my whole life to meet you, she tells her daughter.
The connection is immediate shes Haileys mom.
Between that and Kevins painting, I guess all the Pearsons love on-the-nose homemade art about human interconnectivity.
I know Im a lot, she says.
Youre just the right amount, he responds.
Is this teeing up some Rebecca-and-Miguel-falling-in-love story lines, because it is time.
Seeing the real Nasir and Esther chatting withThis Is Uscreators at the end of the episode was a delight!
