This is the 100th episode ofThis Is Us!
Can you believe it?
Weve watched 100 episodes of this emotional torture (I say that with so much love!!)
and have lived to tell the tale.
I dont know about you folks, but I amtired.
Sometimes tired in a good way, sometimes tired in a bad way, and sometimes both!
Like, take this 100th episode, for example.
It is full of moving, emotional scenes, both heartbreaking and hopeful.
I guess one last time.
Youve had time!!
After the ladies wisely kick Kevin out of the room, Kate receives a call from Toby.
On her wedding day!
This is a real flex.
Texting is a thing.
Its just a thing she says.
The rest of the episode jumps around at different points in Kate and Tobys relationship pre- and post-divorce.
We will go through those points mostly in chronological order to track the most important parts.
We begin this story the morning after Baby Jack took his horrifying solo stroll to the park.
Kate and Toby are exhausted physically and emotionally (which, same).
This is a big deal.
As you might be able to surmise, couples therapy does not go well.
Every part of my body is screaming, Now!
Kevin tells her that shell just know.
Theyre in therapy for 16 months.
It doesnt take long for it to go to shit.
Kate is criticizing Tobys skills as a dad again, and hes had it.
He says their marriage has been a rigged game because he isnt exactly like Kates dad.
This marriage is a rotting carcass!
There is nothing to save.
And you know what?
Once Toby moves out and they have their own space, both seem better.
They are so much better, in fact, that Toby brings up getting back together.
Kate does not want this.
Shes happier than shes ever been.
Toby pleads with her.
Hes scared to be alone, to start over.
He kisses her she tells him no.
Its all very sad and also marks the real end to their marriage.
Two days later, they sign the divorce papers.
Kate and Toby move on and move forward.
They end up singing Tubthumping at karaoke in the middle of the day, and it is pretty cute.
Just, like, one tiny little moment.
Kate gets a little spooked by a charged hand-holding moment and walks out of the restaurant.
Its all very presumptuous, which is exactly the word Philip uses when he responds with the same directness.
He unloads his sad story.
Thats not just a sad story, that is the saddest story.
Anyway, Kate is super into those damaged goods.
They kiss, and Chris Geere remains great at his job.
Toby finds love again, too, when he bumps into a cute woman who is into yogurt puns.
And friends, that concludes the ballad of Kate and Toby once and for all.
Stay tuned for how that goes.
Wait, so Kates engagement party is in Los Angeles, right?
Sophie, last we saw her, lived in NYC.
Are people really traveling across the country forengagementparties these days??
Put your foot down, people.
