THIS IS US Delivers Stunning Episode As The Big Three Meet Their Uncle Nick
If you caught Tuesday night’s episode of This Is Us, you saw television drama at its best, and one of the best installments of this heart-tugging series, doing what it does best – intertwining past and present day storytelling, and revealing a shocking truth that will have a ripple effect for the Big Three and Rebecca.
The episode was a beautifully scripted hour of TV called, “Songbird Road Part 1”. The title refers to the address of where the very much alive Nick (brother of Jack) is living 166 miles outside of Pittsburgh.
In the past, we see Jack receiving postcards from his brother under the alias “Clark Kent” or “C. K.” and reaching out to him over an extended period of time, trying to reconnect. Jack hides all of the postcards. When one of them shows up at his home mailbox, and it reads “Last one”, Jack decides to take a Saturday trip to see his brother, and lies to Rebecca as to where he is headed.
In the present day, the Big Three set out on a road trip to find their Uncle Nick, now that Kevin’s journey to Vietnam and back has revealed that Jack lied to everyone – telling them that his younger brother died, when he is actually alive. Seeking the truth and to locate him, Randall, Kevin and at first a reluctant Kate, set out to the address on the postcard Kevin has. Rebecca does not want to go, obviously, struggling with the fact that Jack never let on during their marriage that his brother was alive.

As the parallel trips unfold (in the past and the present), the Big Three arrive at Nick’s trailer and are stunned. When they knock, there is no one there, but shortly after that a now older Nick (played by Griffin Dunne) arrives with booze in his hand, The Pearsons tell them they are Jack’s children, but they also let them know that Jack is dead.
Now inside the trailer, Kevin broaches the subject of Jack and the war, asking Nick why Jack told his family that he was dead. Nick gets upset and tells them to leave, but Kate refuses to do so, and demands to know what happened.
We go back in time to Vietnam, and to Nick sleeping on the beach and befriending a young Vietnamese boy, who turns out to be the son of the woman that Jack cared about while in the war. Nick recounts what we have already seen; that there was an explosion on the lake and Jack dives into the water. But, there was more to the story. What actually happened was the young boy and Nick go fishing and Nick’s method of getting the fish to catch is to throw a grenade into the water and wait for the fish to float to the surface.

Things go horribly awry when Nick hoists a second grenade. It’s at that point the boy tries to grab it and Nick tries to get it from him. B ut, in the scuffle, the grenade ends up on the floor of the boat, Nick screams for the boy to get off the boat, but he sadly doesn’t understand English. Nick quickly dives into the water, but the boy is killed.
In the present, Nick tells the Big Three that he never got the chance to tell Jack that it was an accident. Jack must have believed that based on Nick’s anti-Vietnamese attitude that he set out to kill the boy. After the story is told, Nick asks how Jack died, and Randall tells him that he saved all of them from a fire and died from smoke inhalation shortly thereafter. Nick is overcome and tells them all to leave.
In the past, when Jack shows up to tell Nicky (Michael Angarano) to stop writing to him, he refuses to let Nicky talk about what happened in Vietnam. It is a very emotional moment for the two of them as Nicky wanted to tell Jack what happened. Jack makes the decision to leave his Vietnam past and brother behind, compartmentalize it, and take one direction in his life to not look back. We see Jack at a crossroads. He can turn right to Pittsburgh to be with his family, or turn left to Bradford to help his brother. He chooses Pittsburgh.

Now in the heartbreaking ending, after their visit to Nick, the Big Three stop at the same convenience store that Jack did all those years ago, (before he left his brother behind for good) to get some snacks. It’s in that moment that Kevin decides to turn the car around and go back to Nick, refusing to leave him alone like his father did. When they return, Nick is mumbling with a gun by his side, contemplating suicide, saying he never go to tell Jack that the explosion was an accident. Randall takes the gun. Kevin puts his hand on Nick’s shoulder. We fade to black,
Kudos to the performances of Griffin Dunne, Michael Angarano, Justin Hartley and Milo Ventimigilia who made this episode soar.

Another winning episode in the series that keeps me glued to the set. Totally agree with your performance kudos.
I love how the show intertwines the elements of the Pearson family. Tess expressed concern about Randall bring home another long lost relative. This time it’s Kevin who’s bringing the find into the family. I hope Nicky is going to live with Kevin. Randall’s wife and children have had to deal with enough change.
an absolutely beautifully written episode the humanizing of jack! our boy from daytime justin hartley was amazing as kevin applause all the way around
Damn I was all set to watch it and I fell asleep.I so wanted to see Justin Hartley he is my favorite.I was so mad that I missed it.Oh well next time

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
