In one, Mary Sue… er, I mean Randall, lives his best li...

The second half of the fourth season kicked off with This Is Us – Season 4 Episode 10 – “Light and Shadows”. With this episode, This Is Us reminded viewers why it should be considered “must-see TV”. In some ways, I think I would have liked THIS one as the cliffhanger headed into the winter break. Do you agree? Kevin turns up empty-handed in the love department – or did he? Cue the telephone buzzing with Sophie on the caller ID. Will Sophie turn out to be Kevin’s storybook romance, even as unconv...

Uh-oh. It looks like there might be something wrong with Rebecca’s memory (although she’s not interested in admitting to it). After a day showing her around Philly, Randall has big concerns. Also, Malik and Deja enjoy their first supervised date – for about a half-hour. Then the drama. Kevin joins Nicky at his court appearance – after his tryst with Cassidy and picking a fight with a local. So, the day had some ups and downs.

Lucky number 7! That’s the episode number of This Is Us Pod Clubhouse covers in its first-ever podcast, so it must be lucky, right? In this podcast, Paul and Caroline dig into A Dinner and a Date , the episode in which Deja goes on an unauthorized field trip into Philly with Malik. That’s the “Date”. The “Dinner” was less fun for all involved. Without Beth’s secret pantry-wine, there would have been no laughs at all in this one.
