Really enjoyed tonight's episode but cried so much watching tiddly little Jack!! Poor little mush!!!!

diddl · 07/04/2022 15:24

I've never been a fan of Kate but good grief-I almost hated her in this episode!

And the whole thing about K&R banding together & defending her.

She's a bloody grown woman & was in no danger.

Was definitely team Toby in this episode.
I couldn't believe Kate blaming him for the gate when she herself had not locked the door. Plus claiming to be the only parent who cared for Jack? Someone has to pay for all the music, education that he needs and it not unusual for one person to go into practical provider mode. Does not mean they care less for their kid.

Plus Kevin and Randall getting involved in the fight was just cringe. Totally inappropriate. Really annoyed by Kevin.

Sick of the Pearsons now!!

Definitely #teamtoby

"I couldn't believe Kate blaming him for the gate when she herself had not locked the door."

I know & was so glad that Toby pointed it out!

I mean it's often the case that a mother works less hours & parents more-hardly a thing to use against the other parent!

They just aren't communicating any more!

diddl · 07/04/2022 16:08

Perhaps it will become apparent, but wonder why the writers wanted K&T to split up?

B&R have been together for years, K is a father but single, K&T met later in life, so if they stayed together it would still be different to B&R-if they wanted the three to end up differently relationshipwise.

Toddler jack was amazing ! I felt so sad for both Kate and Toby at the end though .

PerditaNitt · 07/04/2022 17:40

Loved toddler Jack - what a cutie.

Agree with PP that Kevin and Randall stepping in was OTT. Both Kate and Toby were saying things that crossed the line and it felt awful that Toby was made to look the bully. I’m glad that they showed Rebecca showing some empathy and that Beth was so warm to him at the start of the episode.

It’s the first episode this season to make me cry.

6 months into a relationship and Madison is going to get engaged - that's fast. Her BF always seems a bit shifty and a bit strange. If I had children that were going to be spending at least half their time with him I'd want to know him better.

The ceiling literally fell in on KaToby!

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/04/2022 19:37

Know we know how got the scar

Nothing to do with hit green egg cooker

But singing the park sing and falling down steps

Yes Toby should have listened to the click

Even if kate had locked the door she had sung the song how to open it

Scary th9 he found his way to the park

Def looks like isn’t Maddison he marries

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/04/2022 19:42

Johnny Kincaid plays toddler jack

He plays the role of toddler Jack Jr, the son of Kate and Toby, who is visually impaired himself

. "Johnny has albinism which comes with low vision and an eye condition called nystagmus.

Although his character has a different visual impairment, his parents are SO thrilled for the representation and inclusion of the blind and low vision community in a television show that does so well at showing all the nuances of life with SUCH a huge reach!"

Lurleene · 07/04/2022 19:57

Thanks for the info Blondes , he was an absolute sweetheart, such a natural in front of the camera.

I feel quite wrung out after that episode Sad

FinnRussell · 07/04/2022 20:35

Also Team Toby but it was a bit shitty he didn't tell Kate about LA job offer or the house being quite so lined up, other than that, Team Toby all the way.

AnnesBrokenSlate · 07/04/2022 21:21

Baby Jack may be the best actor in the entire series. He is such a cutie! 😀

I'm glad it looks as though Kevison won't happen why should Katoby be the only ship name?!

Did Rebecca realise the Big 3's interdependence is quite dysfunctional and impacts all their relationships? I couldn't tell by her wistful look at the end.

This was my favourite episode since the season started back.

RoyKentsChestHair · 07/04/2022 21:26

@Bellagio40

What an incredible actor Toddler Jack is, not to mention absolutely adorable
Isn’t he?! Amazing little boy.

DS (17) came in while I was watching it and said “is it always so sad?” Erm, yep!! That’s why I love it.

So sad about KaToby but it’s good to see both sides of it. I’d be as pissed off as him about the brothers wading in as usual. There’s always been 4 of them in his marriage!

RoyKentsChestHair · 07/04/2022 21:29

I took it as being “a good thing” as it was contrasted with them as kids banding together and how proud she was of them for locking the babysitter in the bathroom HmmConfusedGrin

Netaporter · 07/04/2022 21:29

I loved this episode but this series is very standard American drama signposting the next scene…what made TIU so great was the fact that you literally couldn’t guess where the story was going.

Agree baby jack is a cutie.

It’s clear older jack is being set up to regain his sight I think.

I did feel a pang for Kevin tho, that’s gotta hurt.

diddl · 07/04/2022 21:35

"I took it as being “a good thing” as it was contrasted with them as kids banding together and how proud she was of them for locking the babysitter in the bathroom"

I can imagine the story being re told as an amusing/cute to others!

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/04/2022 21:54

When they showed the older jack Epsiode in the diner meeting his gf I think he said he could see some shapes and stuff

I did like the way we saw how toddler jack sees things

Shame last series

They could do so much more with jack 2 as a teenager then adult

Same with Randall’s 3 girls

And the twins - do we ever see them as adults the way we do jack and hailey

Sleepyquest · 07/04/2022 22:39

Much better episode this week but where's my damn flashforwards?? Grin

dimples76 · 07/04/2022 22:53

I felt that it was inappropriate but in character for Kevin and Randell to intervene in the argument - it was an equal fight.

I think 6 months is crazy fast when there are children involved and they got together v soon after Kevin and Maddison's break up.

I thought that it was a good episode.

MinglingFlamingo · 07/04/2022 23:04

I have my sympathies of Kate. On what planet did Tony think Kate would move to San Francisco without being consulted. And i can't believe agony would be so stupid as not to even consider a job in LA

In MN law you shouldn't even be introducing your kids to your new bf after 6 months let alone get engaged

I love teenage Kate, Randal and Kevin the most.

Sad to see Deja and Malik breaking up, I know they were young but I was rooting for them. Maybe they'll get back together in the future

So we now know how Jack got that scar

Flawedless · 08/04/2022 18:18

I don’t like, and haven’t liked for a long time,, adult Kate. I think in the first season she was maybe ok, but then they made her a complete nightmare. Her sat there in the episode looking smug while Randall and Kevin fawned on her summed up everything I dislike about the character.

Having said that, the writers actually did a good job of not making me totally Team Toby. I’d be more on his side if he hadn’t seemed to have become a bit of a dick since moving to San Francisco. But then I also agreed with him that Kate only liked him when he was messed up.

It was good how neither of them was actually solely to blame for the accident so it just exploded all the holes already in the relationship.

neveradullmoment99 · 08/04/2022 19:07

I don't understand how people dont like Kate. I also like Toby but he has change a lot. Dont think Kate has so much.

ChuckBerrysBoots · 08/04/2022 20:03

Not a Kate fan either, team Tobe last night.
