Time for dinner. Rebecca wants Jack to carve.

A few years later, Rebecca doesn't know how to carve the turkey and asks Miguel to do it. He tells her Matt is very nice. Rebecca says Matt is the sweetest. Miguel says Matt is not too sweet, not too sour. Rebecca says Marguerite is beautiful but not as worldly as she expected. She's remarkably normal. Miguel is surprised by that.

In the present, Kevin is playing the guitar again. Rebecca whispers that she wants to break the guitar strings. Kevin makes a crack to Miguel about is this a bigger faux pas than me not wanting ot build an extra wing on the family compound for your fishing buddies?

After dinner in the college timeline, everyone plays Taboo. Miguel gets all the points because Rebecca reminds him off all sorts of memories. Kevin is glaring. It's awkward for everyone.

Beth and Randall sit on the steps outside. Randall is looking at photos. Beth says everyone wants him to put away the phone. He feels disconnected from Rebecca now that she lives on the other coast.  Beth says Rebecca was adamant about taking his phone.

Toby says to Kate that they are having the same argument over and over. Also he wants to help Jack avoid being fat like they both were. Kate tells him how she used to sing the song Kiss Me to stop herself from eating and imagine herself going down th e stairs thin and beautiful, but then she'd feel shame when she couldn't stay on her diet.

Did Miguel ever get that feeling? Miguel says he doesn't get anything Kevin is saying. Kevin warns him that Jack wouldn't want Miguel with Rebecca.

In the present, Rebecca says that Miguel is in charge of her care when she is no longer able to care for herself. Also the reason Miguel was asking about a guesthouse is that she may need aides to stay there if she needs caregivers. Also she thought about who should take care of her if Miguel predeceases her and she doesn't want any of them to fight. She wants it to be Kate. She says this was actually the easy part.  The harder part is that she doesn't want the camera focused only on her. She demands that they not make their lives smaller because of her.

In the past, Rebecca thanks Miguel for helping her clean up. He tells her how Jack thought Billy Joel's best song was Piano Man and he and Miguel argued over it.

He feels like he's been staying around because... but it's time, she's back on her feet and he should move on.  He doesn't know what else to do.  She's his favorite person.

In the present Kevin brings Miguel the plans to go over. Maybe they can walk the property tomorrow. Miguel tells Kevin this is a hell of thing he's doing.
