Argh, I ugly cried in this episode. Beth's scene where she's looking at the kitchen cabinet full of William's prescriptions. And I completely lost it when Beth got her postcard, "The daughter I never had." And don't get me started on Randall's dream where Jack and William meet, that scene was so poignant, so simple. My two favorite scenes! |

My two favorite scenes! I laughed along with William and Jack, and I cried when Beth received the postcard. Another favorite moment for me was the exchange about the doves, "They don't make black ones, Randall." If these were real people, I think Beth is the one I'd really want to be my friend. |

I love Beth so much. My heart was hurting for her when she was talking about how she loved William, too, and didn't get to say goodbye. Then getting the postcard and holding it to her heart? Exquisite.
Re: Kevin. I was glad the critic didn't show up to the play, as some plot points seem to Mary Sue-ish...and then they go and have Ron Howard call and offer him a part. It feels contrived. I get that now it's going to be about how he just promised Sophie he was all in with their relationship, but I guess I think the whole "oh, no, a couple months away to film something that would be huge for his career" feels like a stupid sticking point for them. Is he only supposed to work in NYC now?

And dare I say, I thought Ron Howard phoned in that performance? |

Her dynamic with Randall is amazing. As for the phone call, I figured it was around 11pm-midnight or so in NYC ,and 8-9pm in LA. |

Ron Howard was in NY, he saw the play with his niece. On another board, someone mentioned that Ron Howard is famous for doing his casting like that.

I love that they gave Beth her own story of grief. And they reminded us about the time she and William got high together.
They dropped some big hints about Jack's death. I also loved that Kate acknowledged this was the 2nd time Randall lost a father. Not surprised that the FUN-eral brought back sad memories.

So the season finale is next week, which is where I assume Jack will die. It sure seems like they're pointing to a drunk driving car accident, but with this show, it could twist.
I was okay with Ron Howard playing a contrivance fairy because, as mentioned, he does cast like that and I could see someone going to the Manny's play because they're a fan. And for a director he would be a good actor to cast since people would go to the movie to see the Manny again; it's a bonus for all that the guy can act.
I do wonder when the backlash will begin with the constant waterworks-based plots.
