8th grade Madison doesn't have a dress for a dance and her father tells her not to be picky and just go with whoever will take her. In the present, Madison is nervous about her vows. Kate tells her the commitment is bigger than that. Her speech is interspersed with flashbacks of her and Toby getting married. She thanks Madison for the reminder and says she needs to make a phone call.

Annie asks Deja if she is going to marry Malik. Deja says she is not thinking about that. Tess seems unhappy as Beth compliments her. Beth asks what's up. Tess feels everyone wants a version of her that isn't her. She doesn't feel comfortable in this dress but doesn't want to disappoint anyone. Beth says nothing Tess can do can disappoint her.

In the past Jack and Rebecca have an impromptu remarriage with Kate officiating. Jack promises to love this whole family forever. They all get "married."

In the present, Kate calls to resign from her position because Toby got a job offer. Philip starts going on about how she was so unqualified but she turned out to be great and he is not accepting her resignation.

The guys are all rebuilding the altar. Kevin is freaking out. Randall tells him everything is okay. Beth comes running in to say they are making changes to Tess' dress. Nicky and Miguel start arguing. Toby asks Kevin about a long distance relationship. Meanwhile Nicky's gift is here. It's two chairs. Nicky needs cash to tip the delivery guys.

Toby tells Kate he will not take the job. She says no, but she is not quitting her job either. She remembers their wedding but not the vows. But she would rather spend 4 days/week with him than 8 days/week with anyone else. He loves her. They kiss.

Tess loves Beth's renovation of the dress. She says she hasn't been nice to Beth this year and she loves her.

Malik calls and says he got into Penn -- and into Harvard.

Rebecca insists on talking to Randall. She says that when they showed the wedding movie she thought Randall was thinking about his birth parents but she didn't ask and rationalized not talking about but she never gave him the forum to talk about it. She knew things and she hid them and she was ashamed. She knows it is too late, but she needs to say how sorry she is. She says he can tell her how she hurt him and that her tears are because she knows what she did to him. She wants to hear about Laurel.  Randall tells her.

The wedding planner is here to take portraits of Madison, who looks upset. She has a flashback of some guy breaking up with her. Then she spit out some ice cream, followed by a flashback of meeting Kate at OA. She walks out of the room.

Madison goes to Kevin's room as he is getting ready. Kevin freaks out. Madison asks him if he's in love with her. Kevin says they are getting married and going to become a family. She says she is in love with him but thought she knows this is cliche, her mother gave her these earrings before she left her with a father who gave her nothing. She has always accepted whatever scraps of affection anyone would give her and Kevin is so wonderful, but he may not be in love with her. Kevin tells her to take a breath. He says he loves what they have and what they are building and he thinks they are incredible and he loves watching her with their children and he feels good when they're together. He says he knows they didn't come together under normal circumstances but what they have will grow. Madison says she can't marry someone who isn't in love with him. Kevin wants to be with her and their children. She says this isn't right.

Kevin and Rebecca sit in the chairs together. Kevin says he couldn't say it to her, not like that. Rebecca wonders how Jack would react. She doesn't know if it's the disease or what but she can't see what Jack would do in situations anymore. Kate worries that Kevin will drink, which he won't.  Rebecca wants to spend as much time with them as possible and she wants Kevin to build her the house that Jack was going to build for her.

Kevin goes into a hotel room in the future where it appears Kate is marrying Philip.

This Is Us Season 5 Episode 16 Quotes

Toby: I want to go back to work, Kate. I need to. Staying at home is just... I love our children but...
Kate: Okay. Got it.
Toby: Kate!
Kate: Toby. My husband is contemplating taking a job that puts him in another city three days a week, and he just started a sentence with 'I love my children, but....' Give me a minute to digest this.

Rebecca: You didn't happen to tape the game, did you?
Jack: Oh yeah, the Pirates game. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Rebecca: And you couldn't see the words DO NOT TAPE OVER? I am stuck here all day with triplets, Jack! I have to wait a week to see a show the whole rest of the world has seen already and I have been humming in the grocery store out of some irrational fear that I might find out who got killed at the wedding before I see it.
