"I Want John Stamos": This Is Us "The Last Seven Weeks"

This Is Us returns with some twist and turns but moments that were memorable.

"The Last Seven Weeks" gives the chronicle of the last seven weeks that had to happen since the previous episode. In the beginning, we see characters in awkward situations as Randel is awaiting the election results and learn how they got to this point.

When Kate accidentally selling Toby's Star Wars action figures that were meant for their child to have to keep and pass on. She tries to get them back but couldn't and Toby returns with a gift that's an emotional blast from the past.

 Kevin gets help from Zoe on tracking the whereabouts of his uncle and learn about Zoe's past relationship that puts his relationship with her into question. Would they end their relationship or not? As soon as Randel sends everyone home on election night, Zoe tells Kevin that he's the one person that she's opened up to about her past, unlike anyone else and decides that she would want to move in together.

Randal learning the meaning of putting family ahead of anything else that includes politics and having a flashback with Jack about being a man. We see how his relationship with Beth become stressful in a way and after speaking with the Father of the church local church, it's like Randal got strike by lightning and finally understands that having a strong family is what being a man is about. And after apologizing to Beth and the kids, things really got better and even on election night, the results were too close to call. As Randal send everyone home, he finally gets the call and turns out he won.

This episode was another strong character developmental episode and strong writing. It was also a well-performed episode from the ensemble cast. There were moments that I didn't think would go the way it did from Zoe and Kevin's relationship as I thought it would end right there, but it didn't and we can thank John Stamos for that. I think we had to give Beth and Randal some hope that their relationship would be okay after the fall finale. Not to mention the Kate and Toby story was not only awkward when Toby learns that Kate sold his "DNS" (Do Not Sell), but won me over when Toby gave Kate a special gift that was one of many memorable moments.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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