My 'This Is Us' predictions! (Part Two)

This Is Us has wrapped up Season 4 and whoa...what a FiNaLe! 

*** SPOILERS AHEAD!**

*Just a bit of a note since we're dealing with four time periods (The Big Three's first birthday, present day, the future, and the far future)… I will use the term "the future" as a reference to the flash forward scene that shows the scene with everyone at Kevin's house. The term "far future" is future Jack, Lucy, Hailey, and Hope.

Kate and Toby adopts

"There are two possibilities here. Kate and Toby's relationship doesn't last or Kate dies."
"My prediction is that she'll end up with Marc." - My 'This Is Us' predictions! (Part One) 

Fans were relieved to learn that Toby is not cheating with Lady Kryptonite and from this point, it looks like it's safe to say that Kate and Toby's relationship will last (for now). At the end of the Season 4 finale, Kevin, Randall, Uncle Nicky, Beth, Kevin's twins, and Rebecca is shown but where is Kate??

Will Katoby last?

When Toby brings up the idea of Kate and him adopting, at first she is hesitant, but decides, why not? In the "Nine Bucks" episode (S3 ep. 1), future Randall calls Toby to come over to Kevin's house and Toby is shown in bed without Kate! Bringing up my previous post, My 'This Is Us predictions! (Part One), in the "Her" episode (S3 ep. 18), "when Toby says, 'I just talked to Jack and they're on their way,' what can't be assumed is that he is referring to Kate and Jack because it may be a reference to Jack and his expecting wife, Lucy (depending on how many years we're into). Kate, Jack, and his
sister, Hailey!" Perhaps, Kate and Toby's relationship will diminish...

Doing the math, it is impossible for Lucy to exist in the future scene. In the present day, baby Jack just celebrated his 1st birthday, and Kevin just found out he'll be a father. In the future, Kevin's kids are still young and being that a woman is pregnant for nine months, this means that Jack and his future twin cousins are only about two years apart. How many years apart are Hailey and Jack?

"Kevin Pearson, you ARE the father!"

*I just had to make a Maury reference!

He's the father of not one, but two children! Twins...with Madison?!

This is a happy moment for Madison because according to her it's a "miracle" for her to get pregnant. It's wonderful for Kevin too because he always wanted children. Although I am happy for the new soon-to-be parents of twins, there's still hope for Kevin and Sophie! Madison mentions something similar to the words of, I know you wanted a great love story with your high school love, and at the end, Sophie is shown cracking up at a cologne advertisement with Kevin. There is no doubt, she'll reach out to him...

As stated before in my previous This Is Us predictions post, why would the producers put so much emphasis on Kevin and Sophie's relationship?! Remember in the "A Hell of a Week: Part Two" episode (S4 ep. 12) when Sophie discovered the ring in her mother's box of old things? This means Sophie's mother, Claire, didn't think Sophie's fiancé, Grant, was the one!



It is safe to say, however, that Madison and Kevin will get engaged. In the "So Long, Marianne" episode (S4 ep. 9), Kevin says, "My fiancé's got morning sickness at all hours of the day." This only makes sense that it is Madison he is referring to unless...Sophie returns and Sophie gets pregnant too?! It doesn't seem likely because it's a bit much for it to happen with only two seasons left...but with This Is Us's amazing writers, anything is possible!


It is more reasonable to predict that Madison and Kevin will get engaged because they find it only makes sense being that they have children on the way. Perhaps when Sophie reaches out, the engagement will be called off because Kevin knows Sophie is and always will be the love of his life. Additionally, Madison seems like the kind of person who doesn't want to be that woman married to a man who is in love with someone else and wants Kevin to be happy. How will Sophie feel knowing that Kevin is having kids with somebody else? For he and Sophie to be re-united, it will be a relationship in the works.

How can Kevin and Sophie not end up together?





Randall and Kevin's fallout

"Perhaps Randall thinks it'd be best for her to be cared for 24/7 in a facility where she can be monitored and Kevin says otherwise. In the 'Her' episode (S3 ep. 18), future Rebecca is staying at Kevin's house!" - My 'This Is Us' predictions! (Part One)




Yes! My prediction about the fallout was correct! Randall found a clinical trial for Rebecca in St. Louis and Randall suggested that he, Kevin, and Kate will visit her often.

The question is, how long will Kevin and Randall stop talking? In the "Her" episode, Kevin's son called him "Uncle Randall," and told him "he went to go get take out" after realizing they didn't have any food. Randall says "Classic Kevin" jokingly. Based on their conversation and how Beth and Randall are acting, it appears that there is no conflict, so it won't be as long and terrible as when Jack and Nicky's relationship ended.

The "strangers" 

The Season 4 finale is called "Strangers: Part Two," so it's no surprise that Cassidy, adult Jack, and Malik were shown again along with new strangers who we later learn are Jack's sister, Hailey -who, in the far future, rushes to the hospital to see Jack and Lucy's newborn, Hope-, and Madison's OB-GYN. There was so much emphasis on his introduction with the horses and his daughter, so in season 5, he might play an even more vital role! Maybe he'll be a sort of present day Dr. K who offers wise words throughout Kevin and Madison's journey. If Kevin and Sophie do end up together, will Madison end up with him?!

The future


I can't help but wonder what the deal is with Toby bringing the sidewalk chalk and Beth bringing Pin the Tail On the Donkey. During the childhood birthday celebrations of The Big Three, they always played Pin the Tail On the Donkey, but what are these activities for?
With so many unanswered questions, I can't wait for the next season!

Highlighting Indie Bookstores for World Book Day: Always Buying Books

Front row (left to right) Alyse Foley and Bob Wolfe  photo courtesy: Bob Wolfe JOPLIN, Mo. — In Webb City, 10-year-old Bob Wolfe would walk almost every day from his house to the public library. He couldn’t wait to devour the next set of "The Hardy Boys" books and lucky for him, he lived less than a mile away. “I didn't read 'The Hardy Boys,' I became the third brother. I lived them, I loved it,” he said. On the way home, he’d read one book while he carried the rest of the haul stuffed into his shirt. He was so absorbed in the story that he'd sometimes step off a curve, run into a tree or walk two blocks past his house without even realizing. Now, 74, he owns a bookstore of his own called Always Buying Books , in Joplin, the birthplace of Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes.

Cait's Plate: Pasta de Pasta - The place to indulge your pasta cravings

photo credit: Cait Malilay Pasta de Pasta, located at 192 1st Ave., is a new restaurant that opened in East Village last June. If you're a pasta lover and you're looking for a reasonably priced dish, then this is the place for you. You can get a fresh in-house pasta for as low as $9.90. I heard about this place on Instagram and I knew I just had to try it for myself. Customers are given the option of their sauce and any additional toppings. If you've seen other posts, what probably caught your attention is that it's only $9.90, but that only goes for the simple Fettuccine Alfredo. It is, however, made in a parmesan wheel cheese.  If you get Fettucine pasta noodles with any other sauce, it will be extra. The restaurant is very inviting and there is a window where you can witness the magic that goes into making it.   photo credit: Cait Malilay I'll be honest, the first time that I went there, the pasta was hot, but the noodles were a little sticky. My second visit was...

A supporter of Bob Avakian (BA) and a supporter Charlie Kirk (CK) agree on one thing: the censorship of books is not ok!

Texas Republican lawmakers are on the hunt to take down books in school libraries that center on race, the LGBTQ+ community and sexual health. In a letter to the executive director of the Texas Association of School Boards, Gov. Greg Abbott urged them to be on the lookout for any books that he described as containing "pornographic or obscene material,” arguing that parents have a right to be concerned. photo credit: REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File Photo Matt Krause, chair of the Texas House's General Investigating Committee, created a list and in a letter to the Texas Education Agency's deputy commissioner of school programs and school superintendents, encouraged them to keep an eye out for any books that might generate “discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress because of [a student’s] race or sex.” New Kid  by Jerry Craft is one of the 850 books on Matt Krause's list In response , a group of librarians started the grassroots initiative, #F...
