Family dinners can be awkward... ‘I've Got This’ — the latest episode of ‘This Is Us’ shows a glimpse of that — and how the table can turn from a place for hugs, food, drink and conversation to conflict, terror, mercy, smiles, tears and misfortune. 

A beautiful promo shows a glimpse of the promo that begins with Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) recording Rebecca (Mandy Moore). “You ready?” Jack asks her before trying to click a person. Rebecca makes a funny face into the camera. Set to show a couple of reunions, the one-hour drama brings Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) together for a dinner with Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Madison (Caitlin Thompson).

Madison and Kate meet each other and gasp: “I can’t believe we’re both moms,” Madison tells her best friend. Kate replies, “I know!” And teases her with a creepy remark, “Thank you for sleeping with my brother.” As the family gets together, it seems Toby and Kevin may have a heated exchange. Moreover, it is also yet to be seen whether or not he gets his job back! 

The most important part of the episode, however, is the return of Phylicia Rashad, who plays Beth’s mom, Carol. If you remember old episodes, Beth and Carol do have a lot of tension and quite a complicated relationship. In the promo, there is a glimpse of the tiff when Annie (Faithe C Herman) picks up her phone at the dinner table and her grandmother snaps, “At my school, the children leave their phones in their lockers during important events.” 

Of course, it is not the best dinner they've had and pictures already seem to sketch out a story. 



 

‘This Is Us’ Season 5 Episode 10 Predictions

Julia Brownell recently said in an interview, “When babies are born, family members often come to visit,” adding, “I think we can expect our cast members from previous seasons to show their faces in fun and surprising ways. We have that to look forward to.”

In the promo, Beth's smile fades away. Could that mean she will push her mom out after a bitter fight? “What is she doing and what nerve of her to step in and control the family like that?? If I were Beth I would have stood up to her right then and there. one fan said and another posted, “I hate Felisha Rashad and hate this character. I hate when she’s on the show. And why did Beth just stay silent?!!! I would have been like, ‘Oh hell no Mom’.”

So will Beth and Carol part ways or will she let her stay? It seems Beth's heart will melt towards the end, what do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
