I dont think I would like Rebecca and Nicky getting married If it was a thing to let her think he was Jack or something maybe. But she already married his best friend Miguel and then also his brother? That would be too much for me Exactly. I don't think they are married. Too weird.

I don't see how she would be fooled by Nicky as Jack. They look nothing alike.

Am I the only one still watching? lol nothing for 2 weeks in here?
FTR I am totally a Kevin -- my love language is giving and I'd probably be a little awkward about trying to help out family too.
and OMG, it broke my heart to see Nicky at the airport with those snowglobes. Poor guy. Not knowing to pack them and put them in a checked luggage. The dogs and astronaut were so sweet, I can't believe he made them himself! I'm cracking up he got the babies airport giftshop books. I feel so awful for how hard his life has been. I do love that he was a dog guy though.
I wonder if the "family daycare" thing will actually happen - a way to make them more of the new "big 3" by growing up together.
It was nice to see Cassidy again. I am glad that she and Nicky stayed friends after Kevin left.
I love the idea of Grandpa Nicky. His chat with the babies was so sweet, definitely made me tear up. "You two are my moon." Oh hi tears. Twin mom over here a mess.
I did wonder about the light in the room though. Who in their right mind keeps a light on with newborns? Everyone knows the darkest room possible is the way to keep them asleep and learn the difference between night and day.
I wonder if he reunites with Sally and thats why he has a wedding ring in the flash forward?

I still watch. I thought they handled Nicky's nerves about flying great. It was heartbreaking to see how close Nicky and Jack came to possibly reconciling and then never did. Nicky's whole life has been tiny misses of things that turned out to be life changing (ie missing going with Sally and then getting drafted, missing talking to Jack, etc)
I was also confused about Madison's house. When Kevin moved in I swear she said it was a small 2 bedroom. So, we have a room for the twins, a room for Madison and Kevin, and what room was Nicky sleeping in? Also, that did not look like a small anything. Did they move and I missed it?
I sort of hope he doesn't reunite with Sally in a romantic way. I mean, I'm sure if they introduce that story line I'll fall in love with it. But it just seems so unrealistic. She hasn't moved on in all these years? Also, she was so free and easygoing (obviously a lot could have changed) but would she really have anything in common with a more broken Nicky at this point?

I really enjoyed this episode. Nicky at the airport was heartbreaking. He was trying so hard with those gifts. I love that he wants to be in Kevin and his kids’ life! I think Jack would be happy he’s able to watch over them, despite their fued. So I saw someone post somewhere that they wonder if Sally had a kid and it was that dad with the little girl on the horse farm we saw! Since we still don’t know their connection and sally was going to a farm in California? Could be possible??

lostinfaith225 Ohh I totally forgot about the horse farm thing. We didn’t know what time period that was, right? Because obviously if she had kids they would be in their 30s/40s now. I know a reunion between Nicky and Sally seems too clandestine but I mean maybe she’s a widow or divorced or something? I wouldn’t hate it. She seemed good for him.

Wasn't the Dad from the horse farm Madison's OB? I thought that was tied up in the same episode it was introduced.

I loved last night's episode. They did a great job portraying all of Nicky's anxiety and it was just a really touching episode overall.

willow yes, him talking with the babies at the end was so sweet! And I laughed out loud that the gift he gave them to make up for the snow globes was two John Grisham books

I really enjoyed last week's episode! I think I love Nicky almost as much as I do Beth, and did William (and Beth+Randall). Griffin Dunne is so wonderful to watch, Nicky with the snow globes at the airport and how tenderly he spoke to the babies, it all got to me! I'm also glad he stayed close to Cassidy, and they seem to have a solid friendship. I did find myself hoping he reconnects with Sally, if she's still in California, it's possible, I'm a sucker, I know!
I read something recently about Season 6 likely being the last of TIU, and I don't know how I feel about that.

abbandkaa I think this episode really exposed Nicky's true nature. We met him as a depressed, cranky and struggling man and after therapy and reconnecting with his family, he is starting to come back to his true self. The flashbacks showed what a soft spoken and tender hearted man he was, which sort of lines up with his actions in Vietnam that led to tragedy. He seems like a truly lovely human that was dealt such a hard hand.

He was so particular about what he was painting to go inside those snow globes, the dogs that reminded him of his time with Sally and the astronaut, GAH - so special. The writers and their attention to details - so good.

I absolutely loved that episode. My heart broke for old Nicky - especially at the airport. Me too. I actually yelled out “just check them!” When the TSA agent said the package would have to be mailed.

abbandkaa yes, the series creator has said there will only be six seasons. Not sure how that's going to work out with the way season 5 has been going thanks to COVID but yes, six seasons was the plan.

I really love this episode and once again, the casting folks deserve all the Emmys because young and old Nicky (and who is mimicking whom?) have their mannerisms down so perfectly. It's such a shame that Jack and Nicky couldn't work things out while Jack was still alive, especially when it seems they loved each other so much. Although I didn't care for Nicky drinking the St Jack Kool-Aid. Jack wasn't a saint by any stretch of the imagination, including him lying to his family that Nicky, his only brother, DIED in Vietnam. Also, fuck that sergeant for telling Jack to keep on lying to Rebecca about Nicky. Although I loved that Nicky kept the Samsonite suitcase (my mom still has her pink one and I used it a time or two) that Jack gave him when he was supposed to take off with Sally. I was shaking my fist at TSA for ruining his snowglobes. This was cute and a reminder of how clueless Jack could be at times: But Nicky meeting the twins made me cry. He's gone from living this very lonely, solitary life to having all of this family. He's a perfect example of it's never too late to have the life you've always wanted.

I really enjoyed this episode too. I also think reuniting with Sally would be a little too perfect (wasn't she going to San Fran anyway?), but I probably wouldn't hate it. Hopefully he'll just make a connection with someone.

I did wonder about the light in the room though. Who in their right mind keeps a light on with newborns? Everyone knows the darkest room possible is the way to keep them asleep and learn the difference between night and day. The light didn't bother me as much at THE BUMPERS. What the heck. Mh was laughing at me as I ranted about safe sleep.

Anyone else think there was no way Kevin and Madison wouldn't have heard Nicky on the monitor? Unless they are using the tiny house excuse to not have any?
