Meanwhile in the present, Kevin is at the Hanukkah celebration with Sloane’s family,Kate and Rebecca visit a doctor to discuss the life-changing surgery that Kate wants to go through, there is a shocking reveal about William’s sexuality and Toby suddenly collapses and is taken under surgery immediately.
Sterling K. Brown shared, I thought that it was one of our best-written episodes of the season. I felt the way in which we flipped the structure writing-wise - it functions like six one-act plays, instead of going back and forth between the storylines through the show - gives it a breadth that you’re constantly wondering what’s going to happen next. Are we staying with this story line? Are we not going to see everybody today? And then, slowly but surely, we see the cast unfold until we all come together at the end of a pretty nice Christmas - for the most part."
This is Us stars Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Ron Cephas Jones.
