Tonight at 9p on NBC, This Is Us gives us an episode to be thankful for. It is Thanksgiving time for the Pearsons, and they will experience through different eras.
Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) spend Thanksgiving with her mom. Rebecca tries to make it perfect, but her mom can’t stop criticizing her. Will Jack stick up for his wife or obey what she told him to do?
The next Thanksgiving takes place after Jack died and the kids come back home from college. Rebecca tries speed dating per Miguel’s (Jon Huertas) suggestion. While she is there, she meets someone. How will the kids react? Kate is bitchy and does something to screw over Kevin. Tension is high for everyone.
Finally, it is present-day, and Rebecca has made a decision about her future. She needs her kids to hear her, but will they listen. Kevin (Justin Hartley) wants to spend Thanksgiving with his children, but Madison (Caitlin Thompson) wants to spend it with her boyfriend. What will he do? And tension is really high between Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan). Is this the beginning of the end?
All I will tell you is Moore gives a speech that makes me want to know why she hasn’t won an Emmy for this role. She deserves it. Translation, I was ugly crying during her speech.
