This Is Us (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 10 - Light and Shadows - full transcript

Previously on This Is Us...

I see it all so clearly.

I see myself walking her
down the aisle,

and afterwards coming over here
and raising a toast to her

and her husband
at the reception.

You're never gonna be
good enough for her, Jack.

- Say again?
- Jack?

Hey, Bec. I...

Oh!

It was hot out there,
and he just had a few too many.

Hey, why don't we get you home.



I think it's time for you
to get back to I.A.,

live your own life.

I think that's what's
next for me... by the time I'm 40,

I'm gonna have a wife,
I'm gonna have a kid...

- the whole shebang.
- You should probably date somebody first.

You don't seem
like yourself today.

You had a few, uh...

mix-ups?

I think I need to see a doctor.

Ooh, I hate CrossFit Toby.

My CrossFit group
text is going crazy.

Kate, will you grab my phone?

Thanksgiving may be over,

but one more thing
that I'm thankful for is



what a great traveler Jack is.

Unlike...

the screamer in row eight.

Hey, can you, uh,
put Jack in his crib?

I am... beat.

Uh...

yeah.

Hey, are, uh...

Are we okay?

I thought we got past
Avocado-gate.

We did. I'm just tired.

Well, the daggers shooting

out of your eyes
tell a different story, so...

Why don't you just text
Lady Kryptonite

and ask her what her opinion is?

La...

You... you were looking
through my phone?

No. I was...

taking a cute picture
of you and Jack,

when I saw you trash-talking me
on your CrossFit text chain.

Oh, man.

Kate...

you and I were just in a...

we were in a weird place,

and I... had to vent,

and I made a mistake
and I'm sorry.

Okay, I mean,
you guys are obviously close,

because she has an opinion
about me and our marriage.

Her name is Kara, all right?
And no, we are not close.

I mean, I'm not closer to her

than I am anyone else
at the gym.

All right? There's, like,
eight people on this text chain.

Men and women.
You can read the whole thing.

It's mostly just us talking
about glycemic index.

Kate...

we are just friends.

I promise you have nothing
to worry about.

I would not look you in the eye
and lie to you, okay?

Okay.

When you tell me something,
I believe you.

'Cause that's how we roll.

Thank you.

Let's just get past this.

- Mm-hmm.
- 'Cause we have a beautiful son,

- and it's almost Christmas.
- That's right.

♪ So this is Christmas... ♪

Oh, God.

Kev hired a matchmaker.

Yeah, so, it's the altitude,
you know?

The oxygen in Ethiopia
does something to the beans.

Wow, that's so cool.

Yeah. I know.
So, what do you do for a living?

I just got my PhD
in molecular biology.

- ♪ And so this is Christmas ♪

I'm way ahead of you.

I've been wearing the doctor
down and made us an appointment.

Us?

You coming out for this?

This family flies across country
at the drop of a hat,

and this is actually important,
Miguel, so of course I'm coming.

- Got it. Okay.
- Will you do me a favor, please?

- Four. Three. Two. One.
- Don't tell Kate or Kevin.

Happy New Year!

Shut up and lay one on me.

I'm sorry.

I got a little carried away
with the fr-free gin and tonics

- at the golf course.
- Mm.

Probably should have had more
than just toast for breakfast.

My dad seemed kind of upset.

Did something happen
between the two of you?

No.

- No.
- I know he can come across a little...

old-fashioned, but...

once you get to know him,
he really is the best.

Yeah, no, he...
yeah, he's great. Mm-hmm.

Maybe just...

take it easy on the G and Ts
on Saturday night?

Saturday night?

That's... it's my dad's
big birthday party, remember?

Yeah.

I wouldn't miss it.

Are you sure you don't
want to come stay at my place?

I know you don't love it here.

No, this place,
this place is like the Ritz.

Oh, yeah, my butler,
he's on vacation,

but, you know,
when he gets back, it's...

It's fine.

Just temporary.

Okay.

You're two weeks late
on rent, Pearson.

You know, they-they didn't have
a whole lot of shifts

at the gas station this week.

I take cash or check.
No excuses.

You have till the end
of the week.

Got it.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

And remember,
we've got an episode

of World of Dance waiting for us
on that DVR when we get home.

- It's the duels night.
- Oh.

Your favorite round.

- Hmm.
- So...

So, Randall,
the councilman office

has you busy with work
these days?

Every time I knock out
one thing,

six more pop up in its place.

Well, you really didn't need
to fly

all the way across the country
for a preliminary memory test.

Which your mom is gonna ace,
by the way.

I'm sure she will.

But I pulled a lot of strings
to get this appointment,

and I am happy to be here.

I'm sorry to keep asking you
to keep this to yourself,

but you know, Kate has a lot
on her plate with Jack,

and Kevin is focused
on his sobriety...

I get it.

Rebecca Pearson?

Yeah. I'm her son,
Randall Pearson.

Nice to finally meet the man
behind the 47 emails.

- Thank you so much for squeezing us in like this.
- Mm-hmm.

Hi, I'm Rebecca.

And this is my husband Miguel.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

I'm Dr. Whitaker.

I'll be administering the test,
which will assess your memory

and language skills.

Any chance we can
get the answers today?

I'm in from out of town, so...

If you don't mind
hanging out for a bit,

I can go over the results
this afternoon.

It's mac and cheese day
at the cafeteria.

- Great.
- Oh.

- Right this way, Rebecca.
- Okay.

Um... I'm gonna be fine, guys.

- What do you think?
- Gross.

I wouldn't even wear that thing
if I was dead.

Kev, I'm throwing Toby a Jimmy
Buffet-themed surprise party.

- He has to have a Hawaiian shirt.
- Sure.

Oh, and I bought Jack this cute
little Hawaiian outfit.

Look at you going all out
for Toby's birthday, huh?

I just think that
if I show him that

I'm accepting his
CrossFit buddies

in all of their
tire-flipping glory

by inviting them over...

Even trash-talking
Lady Dynamite?

It's Kryptonite.

Oh. I hate her even more.

I found these really cute

pineapple string lights.

Ha! They are super on theme,

and you can use them
to strangle that monster

- who's been talking smack about you behind your back.
- Madison,

I am not murdering
Lady Kryptonite.

I didn't say murder.

Just choke her a little.
Give her a good scare.

Yeah, that's good.

This is why you're not invited

- to the party. Yeah.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna go get a coffee,
'cause I have my reshoots

with the M. Night Shyamalan
movie tonight,

which means the caffeine drip
starts right now.

Do you want to...
Do you want to join?

- Yeah, coffee sounds good.
- Cool.

Listen, I'm-I'm quitting this
whole matchmaking service.

You know, I just...
I'm sick of trying so hard.

Universe, it's up to you, man.

- Kev.
- Uh-huh.

The universe
does not work that fast.

Well...

Oh, Lord.

I don't know.

You know what, I'm gon...
I'm gonna...

- go talk to her.
- Yeah, okay.

And I'm gonna go turn my living
room into Margaritaville.

- Have...
- Good-good luck.

Love you.

Oh, you should try cinnamon
in that.

- What? Oh.
- -Oh, shoot.

I'm sorry. That's my bad.
Let me help you with that.

- That's okay.
- Oh, is that your dog?

Uh, yeah.

That's Adrian.

Like Adrian Balboa from

- Rocky.
- Rocky. Yeah, of course.

- Yeah, I know it.
- Yeah.

That's great.

Uh, Kevin.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Nice to meet you, Devin.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, it's, um...
it's Kevin.

I know who you are.
I'm just messing with you.

Oh.

You're cute
when you're flustered.

- Well, thank you.
- Sure.

I'm Lizzy.

Good to meet you.

♪

Ugh, my mom is

driving me crazy about my dad's
birthday party this weekend.

She says everything has
to be perfect

or the neighbors will talk.

Jack, what's wrong?

Rebecca, I think
we should take a break.

What? What do you mean?

We're just... too different.

I mean, you-you dine
at country clubs,

and I-I can't even afford
the pepperoni on this pizza.

But I don't care about that.

- I never have.
- Yeah, but I do.

I'm a part-time mechanic

at an auto shop
scraping to make ends meet.

That's who I am,

a part-time mechanic.

You...

That's not who you belong with.

Where is this coming from?

Jack.

I'm sorry.

I can't even afford the tip.

So, if you could, uh...

I'm sorry.

Okay,
so this is your first task.

Please draw lines

- Please redraw

this cube to the best

Please draw a clock
from memory,

put in all the numbers

and set the clock's hands
at ten past 11:00.

I'm gonna read you
some phrases,

and I want you to remember them
and then repeat them back to me.

"I only know that Michael
is the one to help today."

I only know that Michael
is the one to help today.

Randall.

Mm.

Just for the record,

I am perfectly capable
of taking my wife to the doctor.

Rebecca and I,

we're getting older.

So we forget things sometimes.

Hey, Miguel, I would love it
if I came out here

for absolutely nothing.

But I know my mother.

I spent one day with her
at Thanksgiving,

and I could tell
that something was off.

How could you not see it?

Like I said, Randall,

Rebecca and I are getting older.

It is normal.

I went grocery shopping
yesterday,

and I forgot to pick up milk.

Do you want to go up there and
make an appointment for me next?

- Okay.
- And to top it all off,

you had to fly out here
like some kind of hero.

Due respect, Miguel,

I'm not being a hero...
I'm being supportive.

Due respect, Randall,
you're just being Randall.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay. My turn.

- Okay.
- Uh, movie theater popcorn

with peanut butter M&M'S
sprinkled all over it.

That is not a guilty pleasure.
That's just a delicious snack.

Well, no, no, I agree,
but you didn't let me finish.

- Okay.
- Okay, sometimes I don't even stay for the movie.

- No.
- I will snatch that up, go home

- and just binge old episodes
of Ice Loves Coco. -

Should I know what that is?

- No, it's... Actually, it's probably better that you don't.
- Okay.

Okay, favorite musician. Go.

Easy. John Legend all the way.

Ooh, that's a good one.

When I was a little kid,
I actually played

- a little classical piano.
- Huh.

Not anywhere near as good
as him, but...

That's cool.

Um...

- Hmm.
- Do you need to get that?

- No. It's okay.
- It's okay.

- No, no, it's-it's just my mom.
- Okay.

She would flip if she knew
that I was here with you.

She is a big Manny fan.

- Ah.
- Mm-hmm.

You can get it, though.
It's okay.

I mean,
I'll-I'll do the whole thing.

- What?
- You know, you put her on speaker

and I say hi to her and I say,
"Manny say what?"

I've done it, like,
a million times at this point.

I mean, that's very nice of you
to offer,

but you don't have to do that.

I'd kind of rather just keep you
all to myself, if that's okay.

That's...

even better, actually.

That's great.

Besides,
I can tell her all about it

when I fly home tomorrow.

You fly home tomorrow?

You don't... you don't live here?

- Mm-mm.
- Ah!

I'm just here for a conference,
and I had my last day free.

I'm still a Chicago girl.

Oh, man, that's... Chicago.

- I know.
- Well, I'll tell you what.

I got to work tonight.
I got these reshoots to do.

But until then,
I'm pretty free.

So, um, tell me
your I.A. hopes and dreams.

I will take you
where you want to go.

- What do you want to do?
- Uh...

I was gonna go
to Hollywood Boulevard

and put my hands
in Paul Newman's handprints.

Yeah, no, listen,
I got a better idea, okay?

- Okay.
- I'm gonna make a couple of phone calls.

Just... trust me.

Hi.

Hey! I'm Kurt.

It's so good to finally meet

- all you guys.
- Well, we're glad to be here.

Your husband's the best.

He really is.

Um, is Kara here?

I've heard so much about her.

Mm, nope. I don't see her.

Oh!

Hey, uh, guys,
he's, like, seconds away.

- Time for the surprise.
- I'm going

to immortalize
the look on his face

and then torture him with it.

You don't think
he suspects anything, do you?

Heck if I know. He hasn't been
to the gym in two weeks.

What do you mean?
He goes every day.

Oh, he switched to a different
gym a couple weeks ago.

Oh, look.

- Surprise!

where I find out Kevin Pearson
is a serial killer, is it?

What? No, of course not.

- Okay.
- When that happens, you'll know.

- Hmm?
- I'm just kidding.

Here we go.

Where are we?

This is the Hollywood Bowl.

- How did you do this?
- Uh,

the-the manager is a fan, so...

Yeah, I do have to make
an appearance

at his daughter's bat mitzvah,

- but, uh...
- - Well,

that's very generous of you.

Hang on.

Sorry, my... mom is just dying

- for a play-by-play.
- It's okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's okay.

So...

what'd you tell your mom
about me?

Um...

that I'm beginning to feel
like Cinderella,

without the fancy shoes.

Kevin Pearson,
hopeless romantic.

Yeah, well, I get it
from my parents.

I don't know.
They had this sort of, uh,

effortlessly magical love story.

- Mm.
- You know? My dad actually used

to talk about it
in terms of fate.

Yeah, he said
he knew my mom was the one

the moment that he saw her.

He said he locked eyes with her,

felt it in his bones.

Wow.

Well, to your disgustingly
romantic parents.

For making you who you are.

Oh, I'm nowhere
as near as good as my dad.

Um, I did, however, do that.

Hey, Kev!

- What's up, man?
- What's up?

I hear you got a special lady
in the audience.

Uh, I do. Yeah, this is Lizzy.

Hi, Lizzy.

This one's dedicated to you.

Hell, nobody else is here,

so all of them
are dedicated to you.

Have a seat.

Sweetheart,

you're five hours early.

So,

how'd the test go?

Well, I think.

Yeah.

She asked me what day it was
and what city I lived in.

And I told her

that only I.A. would be
this warm on January the 11th.

- Well, sounds like you did great, honey.
- Yeah.

Look at that little guy.

Look at him.

I have been thinking a lot
about when you were that age.

Really?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

Kevin and Kate might have been
the only babies in the world

that liked to sleep in.

But you,

you were always an early riser.

And I used to tiptoe
into your nursery

as soon as I heard you crying.

♪

And I would listen
to Joni Mitchell

on my little Walkman that was
a gift from your father.

And I would sit in my
rocking chair by the window,

and I would rock you on my lap.

You'd stay pretty quiet
as long as I kept rocking you.

And then we would watch
the sunrise together.

Except we couldn't actually
watch the sun come up

because your siblings
were asleep,

and I didn't want it to get
too bright in there.

But we would watch the light
change through the curtain.

And I would hold your warm
little body against mine.

And I'd listen to my music

and your breathing.

And I would just wish that

I could make time stand still.

Babies change so fast
at that age.

I knew that any morning
might be the last time

you ever let me
rock you like that.

So I made sure to remember

every little detail

of those mornings.

Hello?

Okay.

All right, well,
I-I'll be right up.

Thank you.

Um, that was Dr. Whitaker,

and she has my results.

But she wants the two of you
in the room with me

when I hear them.

Listen, I understand
how you feel.

I had a few heartbreaks, too,
before I met your father.

Thanks, Mom.

You like him very much,
don't you?

- Jack?
- No.

I love him.

Oh, come on.

You haven't been together
long enough

- for all of that.
- I love him.

It doesn't matter how long
we've been together.

You wouldn't understand.

Because your father and I
aren't in love?

No, that's not what I meant.

- Yes, it is.
- It's just Jack...

And you're wrong.

I love your father
very much.

I know it's not a flashy
kind of love.

No spontaneous
cross-country road trips,

that's for sure.

But that isn't all that love is.

Not a love that endures, anyway.

When you're with someone day
after day, night after night,

it becomes about...

you know, the small,
ordinary moments.

Like when you're reading
the paper together,

and he hands me an article
he knows I'm gonna like

without saying a word.

Or he makes me a Tom Collins
to drink

while we're watching
Mary Tyler Moore.

Your father is dependable.

He provided a life for us.

And I know that you think that
that's old-fashioned,

but it means something.

Someone you can rely on.

So you can imagine
how scary it was

for us to see you
with someone like Jack.

No job, no prospects...

- Mom...
- Let me finish. Let me finish.

It was scary for us.

But this is your life,

and you have to do...

what you want.

Which is why I think
I should tell you that...

I think your father...

got into Jack's head.

What do you mean?

Well, evidently,
when they were playing golf,

your father made it
very clear to Jack

that he's not good enough
for you.

And your father can be
very convincing.

I have to go.

- What should I tell your father?
- Whatever you want to tell him.

Rebecca, if-if he is
really your choice,

this dark, complicated man...

...make sure he gives you
a great love story.

One for the ages.

Rebecca, I know this might be
difficult to hear,

but it appears you have
what we doctors call

"mild cognitive impairment."

- Mild cognitive impairment?
- What does that mean?

It means that the test revealed
some changes

in your understanding of things.

And that concerns me.
For example,

there are some inconsistencies

between the spacing
and the numbers

and the shape of the clock.

Okay. I mean,
I'm no Michelangelo,

but the numbers are correct

and in order, and that is
very clearly a clock.

Yes, it's clearly a clock.

But it shows the beginnings
of spatial dysfunction.

So I struggled
with one question.

That hardly feels like
a failing grade to me.

You also had trouble remembering
several phrases

shortly after hearing them.

Um, so what are you saying?

Could-could you please just
tell us what she has?

Before we put a name to it,

I'd like to do
more blood tests and an MRI

to rule some things out.

But right now,
there's nothing to do

but wait and see how Rebecca
does over time.

What, exactly, are we
looking out for?

On one end of the spectrum,
we could just be looking at

continued minor incidents
of memory loss.

Or things could begin
to deteriorate.

There is a chance that
over time you'll experience

more difficulty with memory.

But for now, we need to run
some additional tests

to understand what it is
we're seeing here today.

I'm so sorry to
sound like a broken record...

Good night.

All right.

Everyone's gone.
Let's just do this.

Okay, Tobe.

Do you want to tell me why
you've been going to a new gym

for weeks without telling me?

You were right about Kara.

Lady Kryptonite.

When we got back from
our Thanksgiving trip,

she tried to kiss me.

What?

And I stopped it. Okay?
It never even happened.

I dodged her head
like Neo in The Matrix.

But I also realized that
I probably shouldn't be

spending any more time around
her, so I switched gyms.

Okay, well, then why didn't you
just tell me?

B-Because...

Kate, I promised you that there
was nothing to worry about.

And I was wrong.

And I didn't want to give us
yet another reason to fight.

Well, Toby, did you ever
consider she got the wrong idea

because you avoid
being home with me?

What? I don't...
I don't do that.

Yeah, you do.

Yeah, and I've been dreading
this conversation

the whole party,
'cause I was for sure

that you were gonna tell me that
you had feelings for Kara...

Kah-ra...

and that would have been

the worst thing
that I could hear.

But then I would understand
what's happening between us,

and I would understand
why you want to be anywhere

- but here with me and Jack.
- Kate...

I feel you pulling away.

Am I crazy?

N-No.

No, you're not crazy.

This isn't about you, Kate.

All right, I love you to death.

And I love Jack
more than anything.

That tension that you're feeling

when I'm home that...

Kate, when you look
at our son, I see

pure, unbridled joy
in your eyes.

But when I look at our son...

...it just makes me sad.

Sad that he'll never
see the ocean.

Sad that he'll never know
what we look like.

Sad that he'll, that he'll never
watch Star Wars with me.

Okay? So, yeah,
I kill myself at the gym,

and I vent to people
other than my wife

because I don't want
to see that look

that is on your face right now.

Hi. It's Mommy.

Hi. Hi.

Um...

Do you want to know what
I got you for your birthday?

I booked us
a few days away with Jack

at a retreat for families
with blind children.

I thought it sounded like

a great thing to do
for our family.

Kate.

You were right.

I didn't want to be.

And of course,
I did notice things.

Little things.

She couldn't come up with
the word spatula the other day.

Called it a, uh...

..."food flipper."

And I just really needed
to believe that it was just

plain getting older stuff.

Because the idea...

Because the idea of anything
actually being wrong with her...

I know.

I'm gonna take care of her.
I promise.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

And I'm gonna track all
of her doctor's appointments,

the medication
that they put her on.

- I promise.
- I know.

We're gonna get through
this thing one step at a time.

- Okay?
- Mm-hmm.

Let's get out of here.

- Yeah.
- Think I was promised an episode of World of Dance.

Yes, you were. Yes.

Okay, everybody, I'm gonna take
a five-minute break

and I'll be right back out.

Really beautiful, man.

Ooh. Wow. Really used
to playing to more people.

- So...
- I mean...

Tell me, on a, on a scale,
one to ten,

how am I ranking
on your best dates ever list?

You're definitely ranking
higher than the guy

who broke up with me
while we were bowling.

- Mm.
- We were mid-game. Five frames left. He couldn't wait.

But you're not ranking quite
as high as my junior prom date.

- Hmm.
- What can I say?

- Brad was my first love.
- Well,

I'll have to figure out a way
to beat good old Brad, won't I?

I, um...

- You okay?
- I-I can't...

- Okay.
- I can't do this.

I'm sorry. I d...
what, uh... I didn't...

I'm-I'm sorry. I did not expect
t-this to get this far.

I mean, who gets to even, like,
meet their hall pass,

let alone have them be
interested in you?

- And I didn't know...
- I'm sorry, what?

Um...

You know, the one celebrity
that you could sleep with

and it wouldn't count
as cheating?

So I'm your, I'm your hall pass?

I saw you earlier
and I texted my husband

and he said to go for it.

But he's been calling all day,

and I think
that he's freaking out.

- It's been him, not my mom.
- You're married.

And I just can't...

Yeah.

I'm your hall pass.

- You are amazing.
- Am I?

I mean, really.

- Just so you know.
- Thank you. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I should go.

I'm sorry.

Um...

I'm sorry.

- Thank you.
- I'll tell him.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Oh, oh, buddy, you,
you are perfect.

Have I told you that yet today?

- Toby?
- Yeah?

Toby, come here.

What? What's going on?

He's reaching for the light.

He is reaching
for the lights.

The doctor said
that he-he might do that.

He might start
to see light and shadows.

Oh...

Hi.

Hey, Kevin, we're ready for you.

- All right.
- I'll walk you over.

Okay.

Kevin's on his way.

Nothing like starting the work
day off at 11:00 p.m., right?

Man, it has been a day,
I'm telling you.

Did you know that celebrity hall
passes are actually a thing?

Yeah, I-I thought they were
just, like, urban legend.

You know, like, uh, key parties
or Richard Gere and the gerbil.

But no, people do this stuff.

Probably my fault, though.

You know, I mean,
I keep putting myself

in these obviously terrible
situations

because I'm so desperate
to have this crazy love story

like what my parents had.

But maybe it's just not
in the cards for me, Noah.

You know what I mean?

Maybe it is just
not in the cards.

Here.

Can you take that?
I got to concentrate.

Uh, hey, Miss,
we're actually about to close.

Sorry, yeah, I'm just,
I'm looking for someone.

Rebecca?

No. I-I talk, you listen.

I don't care about
what you can give me.

I don't care if you have a good
job or you come from good stock,

or you're on a good track.

I don't care about
any of that stuff.

And whatever my dad told you
about not being good enough

for his precious
little daughter,

I want you to forget
about all that.

Because...

...I am in love with you, Jack.

You are?

Yeah.

I am.

And you and I?

Oh...

We're gonna have it all
together.

We're gonna have the big moments
and the small moments and...

it's gonna be one for the ages.

I can't believe you beat me
to saying "I love you."

Well, you better believe it.

Rebecca Malone, I love you.

Don't you ever forget it.

- Hey, babe.
- Hey.

How you doing?

I'm hanging in there.

I'm gonna grab some water
and then I'm coming to bed.

Okay.

Okay.
