I am so so so glad that Kevin got his necklace back. And Beth and Toby were both making me laugh so hard tonight. I know Toby gets on my nerves a lot, but his lines are so good. His conversation with Kate about that dog looking like Jacob Trembly would look if he were a dog. I didn’t even recognize the actors name but I still laughed because their chemistry was so good. And when Beth wished Randall good luck and he asked if it was a real good luck or a snarky good luck and she held up two fingers and didn’t even look back. Love them! The guy who plays Toby has the best timing and cadence. I loved Toby this episode. The dog thing was awesome

Our smoke detectors are hard wired with a battery backup. I took out a battery today because the one in the basement was chirping and MH forgot to get more on the way home. Must get more tomorrow, evem though we probably need to replace all of them because they're over 20 years old. The one I took the battery out of is in the basement utility room and needs to be moved because in the summer it goes off when we shower. This show is telling me I need to get my ass in gear and replace them

Why would you gift someone a broken appliance? It didn't break until 18 years later though.

I'm pissed that the next episode is after the super bowl. As if that doesn't run late enough. 😡

Omg I was a hot mess yesterday. I loved this episode though. I loved Kevin and Randall working together. And the fact that Randall knew something was up with him.
I cracked up with the women watching Kevin knocking the wall down and everyone calling him the manny.
I also am wondering now if Kevin's love of Sophie or feeling the need to be with her stems from the fact that he was staying with her when Jack died?

I'm glad Kate watched the video and saw how her dad looks at her. He genuinely thought she was beautiful. I wish she could have kept that with her and then care of herself after he died.

After last night's episode, DH and I did a thorough inventory of our home's smoke detectors. He's already planning to buy two more.
And yeah the old guy who gifted the crock pot said you have to fiddle with the switch.

I was bummed that we have to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to watch the episode, but I think it makes it way more real to the audience since he died on Super Bowl Sunday 20 years ago.

I ugly cried. As soon as I heard The Cinematic Orchestra song playing I knew it was coming. I didn’t think I would be this emotional over it because we have known for a while he dies. I was about to cry for the damn dog and I was kinda pissed off at Kate. I am glad she came around and that sweet pup has a loving home.

What did the note say? I couldn't read the writing. Does that mean there is no episode next Tuesday then?? I was already crying watching the preview 😓 so are we thinking he goes back to get the dog then?? Since he is helping them all get out obvi he's not like stuck somewhere. I wonder if the dog dies with him

I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said, but just wanted to share that 1990s Rebecca is my least favorite. I feel like they don't make her look very 90s and she certainly doesn't look like she's in her late 40s. I always have trouble placing what time period it is when I see her in that iteration until I see the kids.

I wonder if the dog dies with him Goes back for the dog or the tape, I'm guessing. It's just odd cause I saw something where whatshisface who plays Jack says that Jack dies in a way that basically no one expected...but this is 100% expected if he dies in the fire. So there's either more to it or it's kind of a let down. I feel Jack deserves a better death than DIAF. Dog lives, tho, cause we have already seen a flashback from after the fire where Kate is at Miguel's with the dog.

I forgot about that...unless it's something crazy like they all survive the fire and he gets so depressed he relapses and gets drunk and wrecks or something. But then Kate wouldn't blame herself for that. Hmm

Haven't read the thread yet but I just finished and can't stop cussing to myself. The little montage with the red towel..all their memories...I am heartbroken. I haven't been this wrapped up in a show in a long time. I don't know how I'm going to be able to get through the next episode. The previews are bad enough. Such a good husband and father. WHYYY?! 😭😭

I held it together the whole time until I saw the note. That was identical to my dad’s handwriting...ugh. And he left notes for us like that always. I shouldn’t internalize this show, but sometimes I just can’t help it. Next week’s going to be tough to watch. Hugs to you. I think this show has me so torn up because I'm constantly flipping between relating to how wonderful my stepdad was and then how I want my relationship with my kids to be. The parent and kid perspective at the same time. It's too much for my emotions

Wait I just remembered something... none of Jacks belongings in the front seat were burned. And Rebecca had them in a bag like he was at the hospital. We discussed this before I think? So maybe there is a twist

I put this in another thread but in one episode Kevin said something to Kate about sitting across the street eating fast food in the same place he left. I'm thinking they all make it out and get across the street and then he has a heart attack or something. Possibly Kate runs back in for the dog or tape or whatever and so she blames herself for "giving him" the heart attack.

I also am still hung up on the suicide theory - because of Kate's strong reaction to that bit with Toby early on...perhaps it's Jack-related or perhaps one of the siblings (or Rebecca) attempts later on?

Maybe the fire gives him flashbacks to something in Vietnam and he relapses into drinking and dies from that or commits suicide?
Just trying to think of the multitude of possibilities. I just think him dying in the fire would be too obvious.

I don't see it for Jack. I think there would be a lot more anger there. In that therapy session, Rebecca said something about his addiction like "it was the one part of him that wasn't perfect." But I could totally see an attempt by someone else down the line

Dog lives, tho, cause we have already seen a flashback from after the fire where Kate is at Miguel's with the dog. I think he doesn’t die in the fire but maybe in the hospital after, smoke inhalation or something. Because the kids at miguel’s in the flashback— they look upset but not *that* devastated (like they don’t look like their dad just died). Like maybe Rebecca went w Jack to the hospital & sent the kids to wait at Miguel’s. So Kate says we need to call Kevin (to tell him about the fire). Which would explain why Rebecca isn’t there with the kids (why wouldn’t she be with them if jack is dead) and why she drives back past the house a day or so later with all his things & she’s still in the Steelers jersey bc she probably spent the night @ the hospital or something like that. Just my guess! I do think it’s too obvious that he dies right in the fire.

So maybe there is a twist Yes this is what I’m thinking! He dies at the hospital from complications from the fire. It has to be that same day or the day after bc she is wearing the Steelers jersey in the car.
