That said, many This Is Us fans are curious to see where Kate and Toby’s storyline is headed in episode 14. According to NBC’s synopsis, the couple will face “unexpected issues.”

While Kate and Toby faced some hardships in This Is Us Season 4, the couple seemed stronger than ever at the start of season 5. They worked together to adopt baby, Hailey Rose. But after their daughter’s birth, Toby lost his job.

Now, Kate works as an assistant music teacher. Meanwhile, Toby takes care of baby Jack and Hailey. But Toby recently told Madison (Caitlin Thompson) that he’s having a hard time adjusting to the stay-at-home dad lifestyle. He also decided to keep his true feelings from Kate.

For now, This Is Us fans will have to watch how Kate and Toby’s story unfolds in season 5 episode 14. But whatever happens next, it seems Kate will have a few important conversations in multiple timelines. 

Ahead of the all-new episode, NBC released photos of teen Kate (Hannah Zeile) in This Is Us Season 5 Episode 14. The character sits down with Rebecca and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) on two separate occasions.

Meanwhile, adult Kate will spend some time with Rebecca in the present-day. The mother-daughter duo joins Madison as she goes wedding dress shopping. Then Rebecca goes to Kate’s workplace, and the two have a chance to bond.
