Oh, best line in the car: I didn’t hesitate because you’re white. I hesitated because you’re old. These teen actors really nail their adult counterparts.
I am blown away by both the teen big three and the young big three.

I loved this episode.
I haven't been moved to tears at all in this entire series, but when Deja recognized Randall at her presentation as her foster father and when she was saying her goodbyes, I was near tears. It was very moving and Deja is a great actress.
I love Jack so much. At the end of last nights episode, when Jack walked up to the room where the whole family was sitting and he looked at each of the kids and then Rebecca and smiled at all of them and then the camera focused on the pacman game that said Game Over, I knew that was preparing us for Jack's demise. I know it's close to his death.
I hope they do talk about Jack's brother. I gasped so much at the child in the car with Kevin that DH asked what was wrong. I was sure there was going to be an accident.Nice to see William again and Jack talk a bit about the war.
I gasped again when that little girl was in the car and Kevin was driving crazy thought he was going to be in an accident just before that but too see the girl I thought oh no.

DD is a social worker in foster care so I had to tell her about this episode. She was glad that they showed the social worker in a good light. Shows often do not.

My heart also dropped when I saw the "game over."
The scene when Deja left was sad but beautiful. I think they ended it well. And I definitely think they'll get the little boy in the teaser scene (and soon - if for no other reason than to prove Beth wrong in the "not tomorrow, maybe..." speech.)
I connected it to what he said about not knowing which one he needed to watch at any given moment (like the ghosts in PacMan?) but for the moment, they were all together and he didn't have to worry about them.
It was the gray/silver in his hair and beard. At least that’s what did it for me.Just loved this one.
First, it was hard to concentrate because Milo looked so damn sexy in this episode. I don't know what it was - his hair, his coat, his coat collar but holy!
And I know it's in the subtle parts of writing as well, but boy did Milo play the part of Jack is going soon in a fantastic manner. I realize he obviously doesn't consciously know, but there are real life situations where people give off some kind of feeling/action of going even when it's tragically, I've had that in my life. Some of the looks and lines gave me goosebumps. Sad. So sad.
I sat there and said thank God we are not seeing his death going into the holidays.
Loved seeing William. Continue to miss the anchor of that character. Still kills me how much the younger William looks like the elder.
The scene between Randall and Beth before Deja's presentation, perfection.
P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. Kudos to the writers, actors and directors. I just adore Beth. And when Randall took off his glasses, such a tender lovely moment.
To all of you on here that have that kind of marriage and relationship, cherish it. Cherish it through all the struggles of marriage. Go kiss your spouse and thank him or her. Yes, I'm emotionally out of control. But it's incredibly beautiful to see.
I've said it before but the actors that play Beth and Randall were friends in an acting class years back. The built-in intimacy, it shows! Great casting.
I thought she was only 13?Deja, I'm not so sure she might not appear - out of the blue - at some point in the future. She's not that far from being an adult. Or maybe I'm just being hopeful because of what they all mean to each other.
I also felt how difficult it is for a social worker. Have to hold so many people's emotions and viewpoints. Always knowing you could be making a huge error but you can only make the best decision in front of your eyes, at the time.
I thought the ending with Deja was brilliant. Full of emotion but simply quietly pulling us. Certainly not a dramatic manipulative pile of emotions, which I absolutely despise.
At first I thought the same thing but Randall had a lot of distractions, losing Deja and *just* finding out Kate lost the baby. Many years ago my Dad was on what I call his “I’m Super Man” bender. It made me a mess. I was so caught up in that, literally sick with worry that I didn’t catch on that my sister, someone I’m extremely close with and saw at least a couple times a week was on a bender of her own. It wasn’t until her DH asked me for help that I noticed. I look back now and I see it but back then I was caught up in other things.I loved last night too. I cried when Deja left. Their relationship had grown into something amazing.
And to see William again
Randall had a REALLY bad day though, poor guy!!
But when Kevin showed up, I yelled at Randall. Look at him, he looks like death, you don't think something is wrong????
At least Kevin didn't intend to drive drunk with the kids, thank goodness she snuck in the car and he didn't take off with her knowingly.
I do also agree the electrical panel must mean something, since they made a point of showing it to us in all 3 stories.
There isn’t a single storyline so far that I haven’t been able to connect to my own life or the people around me. I think that’s what makes it so brilliant.Even these posts are making me weepy. What a show. I don't think I've ever experienced one where I felt so many emotions and thought about it for such lengthy periods of time. Parenthood and Friday Night Lights were very good shows, but this one reaches me on a deeper level. In a world filled with so much garbage tv, this show feels like such a gift.
That’s how I saw that scene too.Honestly, I thought in whole different direction there - more like "OK, that crisis is over and we can breathe for a second." I connected it to what he said about not knowing which one he needed to watch at any given moment (like the ghosts in PacMan?) but for the moment, they were all together and he didn't have to worry about them.
