'This Is Us' Recap: Jack, Rebecca Renew Their Vows; Randall MIght Be Sick

It was an emotional episode in this week's "This is Us." It opens to the wedding of Jack and Rebecca on their way out of city hall, being congratulated by their family and friends. Then it's 15 years later, with the couple having dinner with their couple friends Miguel and Shelly, who drop the bombshell that they are going to divorce.

The news of the divorce clearly affects Jack and Rebecca, with Jack stating that soul mates should be together until death, but his wife retaliates that it's not that simple. EW reports that Jack tried talking to his best friend to give him the reason for the divorce, but all Miguel said was that he and his wife just stopped making each other happy, which did not satisfy Jack at all.

Then it's flash forward to the present where Randall wakes up from a nightmare where William has died. He then finds his daughter Tess playing chess with William, his dying father. For the rest of the episode, there seems to be something bothering him, as TV Line reports that he may be in denial about his father dying.

He is also stressed about work as Sanjay is slowly taking over the responsibilities he used to do. At the end of the episode, his hands were clearly shaking as he reached for a glass of water. Whether it's because of stress or something more remains to be unseen.

Kevin, meanwhile, has been trying to reconnect with his ex-wife Sophie. He invites her to the diner where they had their first kiss. As he is trying to convince Sophie to start a relationship again, she walks out. He follows her to the subway, where Sophie tells him that she has a boyfriend, but Kevin does not seem worried and pleads with her to see him in the morning.

Kate also had some relationship problems when Toby went to her weight loss camp, but he seemed unsupportive of her goals and made it all about himself. The episode ends with her standing outside Duke's door.

As for Jack, he decided to take Rebecca on a romantic night at her first apartment where they ended the night reading their vows 15 years earlier. "This is Us" then ended with Rebecca telling Jack that she wants to go touring with the band.
