This Is Us "The 20's"/"The Most Disappointed Man"

"The 20's"

"The 20's" was a fun and emotional episode as well. Watching a lot of flashbacks of the ten year olds of Big Three trick or treating to learning about a death and then flashing forward to their twenties. Kevin, in his twenties, tries to steal a role from a roommate, Randall and Beth are soon to have a baby and a get a surprise for the first time parents.

Meanwhile, Rebecca, who signs up for Facebook, posts her first granddaughter photo, but gets a message from an old friend. Miguel messages her to see how she's been doing in the last eight years, probably since Jack's death or so.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

"The Most Disappointed Man"

Just as Jack and Rebecca are about to adopted Randall, the judge somehow doesn't support it. But after Rebecca gives a convincing speech, the judges grants them the right to adoption. William, even though has been clean, pleads guilty on drug charges but when the judge visits him in jail, he offers to reduce his sentence and to get some help. But in return, William must keep the judge's promise, for which he did, until he gets news about his cancer diagnosis.

Randall takes Deja to visit her mother in prison, but the mother declines the visit. But when Randall visits, the mother tells him that she plans to take her daughter back.

While that was going on, Kevin and Sophie's relationship takes another dive and continues to drink and take abuse the pain meds again. And Toby and Kate tells Kevin about their pregnancy announcement and was consider to get married at city hall but decided to have a big one instead.

"The Most Disappointed Man" was another amazing episode that gripped with emotional storytelling. The performances from Mandy Moore and Ron Cephas Jones steal this episode by far from the other cast members, who also did an amazing job. The writing was strong. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
