Should be fun and not at all emotionally devastating, right?

LOL, thats cute.

Have you ever seen this show?

Honestly, not much really happens plot-wise within Sometimes, but there are some great character moments.

So thats something to look forward to.

(Superman is just a nickname, Nicky reminds his older brother.)

Nicky is clearly on something, or has lost his mind, or both.

Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

Although maybe that guy will show up again?

Hell give Jack two weeks with Nicky.

I knew that man wasnt impervious to an Emotionally Stirring Jack Pearson Speech.

Dont feel too bad, sir.

No one is, really.

Once again were left waiting to learn about whatever tragedy befalls the Pearson brothers in Vietnam.

Not even she can really explain it.

She just wants to be where Jack is.

After some awkward conversation about how they both love turkey sandwiches, things smooth out.

Unsightly pajama-set be damned, Jack and Rebecca dont waste much time before sleeping together.

The next day, Rebecca goes to her label meeting.

After shes left unsatisfied by the executives keep in touch response to her song, she demands clarification.

Unfortunately he clarifies by telling her that shes Pittsburgh-good so its a sort of thanks but no thanks situation.

Its always nice to get a reminder of how strong-willed Rebecca is.

Meanwhile, Jack has an excursion of his own.

Oof, this scene is a gut punch.

This is all too much!

But guys, this is not the emotionally devastating moment that I was referring to before.

There is always more.

Screw those record-label douches, Bec!

Thats me paraphrasing, but you know thats what Jack was thinking.

And so Rebecca starts singing and Jack cant hold back the tears.

He tries his hardest, but the tears cannot be stopped!

Is this meta-commentary onThis Is Usfans?

This moment is brutal.

Hes never been better!

Before we go, theres one more trip to talk about: Kevin and Zoe land in Vietnam.

But this first step in Kevins Vietnam journey isnt really about Jack.

It ends up being about him and Zoe.

(I love this show?)

Hell make do with not knowing because hes falling in love with her.

Because shes falling in love, too.

Kevins at a loss, and all he can do is reach out for her.
