The Pearson train is leaving the station, This Is Us faithful, and we’re ready to walk on through to the caboose right along with you. So let’s get it all underway. Read on for a recap of the final season premiere, “The Challenger.” A NATIONAL TRAGEDY During a flashback to the morning of Jan. 28, 1986, Rebecca and Jack bustle about the kitchen, getting ready for the day ahead. “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” plays on the radio, which prompts Jack to croon the song to his wife and proclaim “REO Speedwagon are the new Beatles.” Ha! They smooch a bit, and it’s sweet to see Mom and Dad get a little hot over the Toaster Strudel or whatever, but then the kids come in and breakfast is the top priority. Rebecca has mixed up a pitcher of Tang in honor of the momentous occasion on deck for later that day the launch of the space shuttle Challenger. Before Jack leaves for work, he asks the kids to watch the liftoff closely, because he wants to hear about “every detail” later. Say it with me, because unfortunately we all know where this is going Oof. Later, as The Big Three sit in their elementary school classroom with their teacher and classmates, they watch the space craft explode soon after launch. Naturally, the tragedy leaves its mark on the Pearson kids. Randall worries that the children of schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe, who was onboard, won’t have anyone to make them dinner that night. Kate talks about her teachers crying. And Kevin tells Jack he’s not worried, because the explosion was on TV and therefore it wasn’t real. That night, after bedtime, Kevin and Kate sadly realize that their parents will one day die, too. JUSTICE IS SERVED? In the present, after a few flashbacks to scenes from the series’ premiere, we wind up on Kate, Randall and Kevin’s 41st birthday. Right before Beth, Déja, Tess and Annie bring him pancakes in bed, Randall gets an email from the police saying that they’ve arrested the man who broke into his house in Season 4. And weirdly, the man still has Randall and Beth’s wedding photo on him. The burgler pawned all of their jewelry, Randall later tells Beth, and he’s being arraigned that day. Randall wants to go and face him, to make the man understand what havoc he wreaked in their family and on Randall’s mental health. But Beth thinks he should let it go, telling him he’s got two doors to choose from. She’s behind Door Number 1, and willing to grant any wish “like a less problematic Aladdin genie,” she purrs. But soon she realizes “You’re going to pick Door Number 2, aren’t you?” Indeed, he is. Grumbling to herself as she goes upstairs, Beth catches her reflection in the mirror. “Damn,” she says, “I would’ve chosen Door Number Beth.” Side note I’ll say it again and always — Susan Kelechi Watson is a damn treasure. In the hallway at the courthouse, Randall confronts David Watkins, aka the man who robbed him. “You’re the guy from my picture,” David says, and it soon becomes clear that he’s got some mental-health issues. “I have holes in my memory,” he explains, adding that he doesn’t remember breaking into the city councilman’s home. “I didn’t know where I got that picture from, but you looked happy in it. I thought maybe it came from a good part of my life, but I guess it came from a bad part,” he says. So of COURSE Randall bails the man out and arranges to meet him at a shelter that evening, where Randall has secured him a bed. “It felt like a romantic, full-circle thing,” Randall tells Beth, who’s shocked-but-not-really at her husband’s goodness. He says he was moved after seeing David’s file and realizing that any of the addicts he’s known — William, his father, Kevin — could’ve been in a similar situation if circumstances had been different. He laments that he’s not doing enough for his constituents who struggle with addiction. And Beth is so moved that she gives him another shot at Door Number Beth. All the vices men can have these days, she muses, “and my guy just wants to help people.” Later that night, David doesn’t show at the shelter. When he returns home, Randall grumps that he’s officially old. Beth gives him cufflinks to replace the ones that were stolen, and Randall says again that he needs to do more to help the people of Philadelphia. THEY’RE REBOOTING EVERYTHING THESE DAYS Next we go to California, where Kevin has been living in Madison’s garage while they co-parent their twins Nick and Franny. And it seems to be going OK! Meanwhile Kate is kinda single-parenting Hailey and Jack while Toby works in San Francisco. For Kate’s gift, Tobes arranges an in-house massage and a day free of the kids Nicky, Rebecca and Miguel will babysit, but things still feel ever so slightly off between Mr. and Mrs. Damon. After the massage, Kate gets a message from Phillip that there’s an emergency at school. She arrives just in time to overhear his girlfriend, Jessica, railing at him. “Don’t you dare use your traumatic past” to get out of our relationship, she tells him, but he counters that she bores him and that eating dinner with her is like watching paint dry. “Is that helpful for moving on?” he wonders. Ouch! Anyway, after Jessica stomps out, Philip reveals that the “emergency” is really that the kids wanted to sing Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” for Kate for her birthday. Kate cries, touched. Philip watches her. Knowing what we know about their future, he’s clearly Thinking Things and maybe even Feeling Things, too. Elsewhere, Kevin attends a meeting that he thinks is about a potential movie job but which actually is with Casey, the producer he clashed with on The Manny set. Guess what? They’re going to reboot Kev’s old sitcom. Kevin scoffs at the idea of returning to his former, very shirtless role. “No, you’re far too old,” Casey says quickly ha!. “You’d play the dad. A dad to twins, ironically.” It’s not like Casey really wants to work with Kevin again, but “I know what’s out there for you,” he says. “This is good. You get to raise your family in Los Angeles. Work one day a week and become a zillionaire. Or say no, and spend the rest of your career traveling to Vancouver every weekend, where you shoot Treat Williams indies where you’ve gotta do your own hair.” Kevin is unmoved. “Over my dead body,” he says. “Thank God,” Casey sighs. REBECCA’S REVELATION While spending the day with Jack and Hailey, Rebecca remembers riding the train to work with her dad on occasion when she was a little girl. She recalls walking the length of the train with him, but the memory is marred when she can’t bring to mind the word “caboose.” She tries all day, but gets increasingly frustrated when the word just won’t come. She winds up shouting about it, out of the blue, during a family party for The Big Three with Randall & Co. videoconferenced in. And that’s when she reveals that a recent scan of her brain showed plaques building in her brain, a sure sign that her mental decline is advancing. Kevin brings the kids home, expecting to decompress with Madison. But she’s hanging out with a male member of her fantasy-fiction book club, Eli, who certainly seems to like her — and that bothers Kevin a bit. They realize that maybe Kev’s living in the garage isn’t the good idea they thought it was; he winds up crashing at Kate’s. “Mom’s really sick, Kate. It’s really happening,” he says, announcing that he’s going to take the Manny reboot, after all, to provide stability for his kids. He gets angry that the world gets to continue as usual even though their lives are about to be ripped apart by Rebecca’s illness, but she reminds him that they had some low times five years ago — aka at the start of the series — and a lot of good has come out of the intervening time. “If the world stopped for the bad stuff, then everything would be dark,” she reasons. “But the world keeps going so we can find that crack of light on the other side of the door, you know? We have found the light before, big brother, and we’ll find it again.” He’s almost crying. She’s almost crying. They hug. It’s sweet. Then Toby comes home, surprising Kate, who didn’t expect him back that night. “Happy birthday,” he says. “It is now,” she replies. And over at Rebecca and Miguel’s, Rebecca is so fed-up with Nicky moaning about how he can’t bring himself to contact Sally — whom he’s found on Facebook and who lives a few hours away — that she tells him they’ll leave in the morning if he wants to reconnect with his lost love. Miguel’s like, really? “Life is too short, and the man is giving me a friggin’ headache,” Rebecca grouses. At bedtime, Rebecca finally remembers the word “caboose.” She says it aloud a few times, sagging against Miguel in relief and sadness. Now it’s your turn. What did you think of the premiere?

This Is Us spoilers follow. It's been a long road, but the Pearson family in their many timelines have said goodbye for good with one absolute blubfest of a finale. The Big Three – Kevin Justin Hartley, Kate Chrissy Metz and Randall Sterling K Brown – have had a messy old time dealing with the rollercoaster that is love and life, with their shared and personal traumas playing a huge role in who they have their mother Rebecca Mandy Moore getting sicker by the day throughout the final season, and This Is Us being a celebrated tearjerker, the show was only going to end in one way... Yet we still weren't prepared for just how many tears were shed as we left the gang to move forward with their lives. NBC Universal Unfortunately, we'll never know what the rest of life has in store for the three siblings, as This Is Us boss Dan Fogelman made it very clear the show is ending after these episodes, and by all accounts there is little to no chance of the show coming the show launched in 2016, This Is Us has been praised for its unique and frank insight into familial tragedy, shared joy in the little moments, and what it means to be a family when you are all on different life won four primetime Emmy awards and had no less than 238 nominations and accolades in the five years since, sending the cast into the A-list. But in May 2021, it was confirmed after long speculation that the upcoming episodes would be the show's last. Fogelman had suggested for years that this would be the show's stopping point, allowing him to tell the full story he wanted to as it jumps back and forth in time. NBC It seemed he got his wish, with the series getting a three-season renewal all the way back in 2019, but talk of this cementing the show to its logical conclusion started even before this was given the go-ahead. At a For Your Consideration event in 2018, Fogelman said "We're pretty far out."We know where it ends and we know the path for each season. We've always had a plan, we didn't want to get stuck."The show won't overstay its welcome, we have a story to tell, we want to do this the right way." NBC Showrunner Isaac Aptaker added to Deadline the following year "I would hope that when we reach our ending, people think it's a really satisfying end place that makes sense, and it feels like they've watched something that is a complete piece of work because that's really how we're trying to plan it."We've had this end in mind for a long time, so we're able to plan for it and try to make it feel like it's a whole, as opposed to a series that's going to go endlessly."Granted, there was hope that the show could have lasted longer as it took into account modern-day events into its storytelling. Most notably, of course, was coronavirus, which was addressed throughout season five and shut down production for a number of months. But alas, the writers have stuck with the initial plan, and ahead of its debut on January 4, 2022, Fogelman wrote on Twitter "Hard to process that our final season starts tonight. We care deeply, and have worked extremely hard to close this story out right."If you've stuck with us this long thank you. It's been the ride of a lifetime. A lot more story left. You'll get all your answers." NBC Universal Ahead of the finale airing, Fogelman doubled down on his insistence that his time exploring the wonderful but troubled world of the Pearsons was over. He said via ET Online "My well is pretty dry right now and I think we wanted to end the show when we thought we were at our creative strong point before it got too tiring, too hard for us to come up with ways to keep it special and interesting. I feel this is the right endpoint. "Who knows what change of heart or midlife crisis brings but I feel like we've put these stories to bed now. Certainly for quite a bit of them." Maarten de BoerNBC Universal Prior to this, he had also asserted than a spin-off was out of the question too. "Once you've seen the completion of season six, the stories of these characters are told," he explained to Variety. "So there is no real spin-off because you kind of know everything."Is there another play for the show? "I guess you'd never say never, but I don't see it. It's personal to me, and I don't see myself picking this thing back up."During the course of the finale, Randall's story in particular was left open, with the adopted son of Jack and Rebecca launching a career in politics with potential to go far. But even with that strand being left dangling, Fogleman has no plans to pull on it. NBC Universal "In my mind's eye, I know what happens to Randall and his family but it's meant to not be answered and to end on promise," the boss teased. "And to let the audience decide what they think happened to Randall. Did we watch an origin story without realising we were watching one of the future leaders of the free world? "Or was it a completion of Randall's arc to not push further in his career and settle into a role where he's comfortable?" Either way, one thing is clear – we're going to have to be comfortable that we're likely never seeing these characters again. If you need us, we'll be on our sofa with some ice-cream as we cry our way through a rewatch. Farewell, Pearsons. It's been a blast.
