Maybe Kate Pearson should be banned from hosting family parties at her house.
That front lawn is cursed!
But you know what is not cursed?
This episode is blessed.
I cant stop thinking about it!
Did I have to cover my eyes during some of that Kate/Toby fight because it was so authentically brutal?
Am I still in awe atThis Is Usworking to its full potential?
Also yes, very much.
Lets talk about how we get to that game-changing fight on the front lawn.
Everyone gathers for Rebecca and Miguels anniversary party.
What is there to save if neither budges even the smallest bit?
Several portions of this episode are seen from Baby Jacks point of view.
It is a rare event.
This Saturday, however, there is no park excursion because of the party.
Just so much fighting!
The tension at a tenth-anniversary party with coconut glasses for mixed drinks has never been so high!
When Randall and Beth show up, Kate hugs her brother and immediately proceeds to weep into his shoulder.
The Brothers Pearson leave.
Well, that metaphor has come to pass.
Kate and Tobys marriage is imploding, and their ceiling is exploding, and it is chaos.
The thing that Kate has been harping on him about for days.
So thats not a great sign.
Then, Kate lets the plumber in and she forgets to lock the front door.
You know where this is headed.
It is your worst nightmare.
Also, not one of those cars noticed a toddler alone on the street corner?!
Be better, citizens of Los Angeles!!
The scar has come to pass!
Back at home, everyone is understandably losing their shit.
And then there is Rebecca.
He also recognizes that Rebecca is sad because this kid is a genius and a gentleman, I guess.
She runs out of the house and all the way there!
She finds him being helped by some strangers and scoops him up!
The woman is a goddamn hero!!
Back at home, Kate wants to talk to Toby outside.
You guys, it is time the Lawn of Misery is getting its big moment.
She says hes been pulling away from their family ever since then.
Toby fires back with how Kate refuses to seeanylimitations and how thats unrealistic.
Just all around, some extremely hurtful things that youre unable to take back.
It is heated!!
That shot of the Big Three facing off against Toby all alone on the other side?
It gives me chills, it is so good.
This moment hits so hard because weve also been watching Rebecca and Jacks tenth-anniversary story throughout this episode.
They are still taking care of one another.
Its not like I started crying the moment Randall said Katie girl and then didnt stop.
Anyway, what is the traditional tenth wedding anniversary gift?
It sure feels like it.
Elijah is proposing to Madison, and she is beyond excited about it.
Chris Sullivan is, uh,very goodin this episode.
What do you think Rebecca whisper-promised Jack for their next anniversary?
Her response: No, shes like the least stressful person in this family.
You know, when Kates right, shes right.
Kevins impression of Rebecca!!
I want more!!
Adding that bug onto it was perfection.
Were twins, its that ESP thing.
Plus, I heard her tell you.
Justin Hartleys comedic timing wason displaytonight.
