The Big Three trilogy has finally come to an end and we now know about the sacrifices that Randall (Sterling K Brown), Kate (Chrissy Metz), and Kevin (Justin Hartley) have made in their lives. Apart from sacrifices, their stories also gave us an idea that they are not perfect and have made several mistakes to reach where they are right now. They learned from their mistakes and became better. However, the most heartbreaking moment came when viewers got to see cracks between Kate and Toby’s (Chris Sullivan) relationship and we got an idea that this is the beginning of the end for them.

During Kate’s backstory, we saw Kate taking a trip to San Francisco to mend her relationship with her husband Toby. Everything was going well until the time she got to know that Toby didn’t accept a job in Los Angeles and wanted to live in San Francisco. He already saw a house and is looking forward to living there. The duo had an argument when they reached home and Kate told him that she misses the old Toby. But he doesn’t because he felt the lowest when he was overweight and always thought of dying.

Even though it will be one of the most devastating moments in the show’s history, fans have been waiting to see how Kate and Toby’s marriage explodes and it seems the moment has finally arrived. The entire Pearson has got together for celebrating Rebecca and Miguel’s marriage anniversary. It was supposed to be a happy moment for everyone, but the celebrations don’t go as planned.

We also see Toby opening the “Big Green Egg smoker” during the party and being a little paranoid. If you have been following this season, then you must remember that a flash-forward scene in this edition’s Episode 3 saw Jack (Kate and Toby’s son) and his wife Lucy using a Big Green Smoker. The couple discussed how an accident left a scar on his head. During the conversation, Lucy said that he doesn’t have to use the smoke because it’s a symbol of the day when the marriage of his parents “blew up”. So, that means the day has finally arrived when we’ll witness their relationship getting worse than ever.

As far as what happened on that fateful day, the episode teases every parent’s worst nightmare. Little Jack goes missing while Kate and Toby are running around the house to find him. The final scene reveals that Jack is walking down a sidewalk by himself.

Now, we know that Jack is absolutely fine, but it will be interesting to see how that moment plays an important role in changing Kate and Toby’s relationship.

‘This Is Us’ Season 6 returns to NBC with a new episode every Tuesday at 9 pm EST.
