Randall has a split lip. Later, Rebecca asks Randall what happened. These idiots at the party got Kate drunk and were going to take advantage of her. He didn't allow it.

In the present, Randall and Kevin agree the Chinese food is superior. Then the two of them try to talk at once. Kate takes out the therapy cat she bought for Rebecca to use as a talking stick. The guys don't like this idea.

Philip thinks they should head back to the house but the women convince him that he can't help and do a convincing imitation of their husbands. Meanwhile, Randall thinks Rebecca should move to Philly with him.

In the past, Rebecca paints little Kate's nails and Kate complains that everyone is ahead of her because she hasn't lost her teeth yet.

In the present Rebecca comes into the room. The nurse says Rebecca wanted to put on makeup herself. She looks good. Kate asks if she can go on the walk with Rebecca and the nurse. Randall tells Kevin that this is not our mom. He says Rebecca always knew exactly what each one of them needed. He says they have to do right by her, and that's not leaving her alone in this house.

In the past, Jack is away on business and Rebecca can't get baby Kate to sleep. She watches a soap opera with Kate and falls asleep, waking up to discover Kate has fallen onto the floor.

Kate calls Toby to check on the kids. He asks how it is going over there. Kate tells him that Rebecca can't remember that Miguel is gone and Kevin and Randall are fighting. She can't decide what's best. Toby asks for permission to overstep. He tells her she's what the kids call a "baller" but when she gets around her brothers she becomes this unsteady version of herself and he doesn't get it. He says her mom chose her for a reason.

Kevin is talking to Madison and Elijah who are excited about the fresh air up here. Sophie comes to check on him. He thought that building this house would recreate the life Rebecca once had. He's been fighting Randall all day but maybe he's right.  Kate tells Kevin to get Randall so they can talk.

Kate says she will make the decision, but first her brothers need to look at Rebecca. She says Randall won't even look Rebecca in the eye so how can he take care of her? And Kevin has been touching her less and less.

After a flashback of Rebecca giving baby Kevin a bath, Randall brushes Rebecca's hair and Kevin puts lotion on her hands.

In flashback we see Rebecca and Jack discovering the Rebecca is pregnant. Jack tells her it will be one baby and two of us (hah!)

Everyoe at the cabin eats Chinese food. Kate says she has an announcement about Mom. She tells Randall that Rebecca living with him is not an option, but neither is keeping her here without family. She and Philip will find the best place for Rebecca to live. Kevin asks if he can offer another idea. He said that looking at Rebecca helped him.

Then we see Kevin calling Randall to say there's not much time and he and Beth should get up here with the girls.

This Is Us Season 6 Episode 16 Quotes

Sophie: Oh wow, this place really is a time capsule, isn't it?
Beth: Tell me about it. I found some of my Tommy Girl perfume in the cabinet.
Philip: Maybe we should go back to the house. Perhaps we could be of service?
Beth: Oh, poor sweet naive Philip. You can't help those three. Nobody can. It's been seven days since Miguel died, so that means seven days for my husband's mind to spin out while he's trying to decide what's best for his mother.

Randall: How long is she going to be like this? Asking for Miguel?
Kate: It's only been a week.
Kevin: Has anyone seen Sophie? She was gone when I got out of the shower.
Randall: She went with Beth and Philip to get bagels. Beth said this sadness needs carbs.
