‘This Is Us’ Writers Debated Not Tackling Rebecca’s Alzheimer’s Arc in Season 4: ‘Too Sad’

‘This Is Us’ ends with ‘Us’

After six seasons on the NBC network, This Is Us ended its run with an episode titled “Us.”

“Us” delivered a storyline that reminded viewers to live in the present instead of filling their days with to-do lists. It is those little moments that carry one through life’s difficulties.

“I wish I had spent more time appreciating it when it was all happening,” Rebecca (Mandy Moore) says to Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), “instead of just worrying about when it would end.”

Subsequently, the episode transitioned back-and-forth between that lazy Saturday and Rebecca’s memorial service.

The day’s sadness combines with flashbacks of Jack teaching young sons Randall and Kevin (Lonnie Chavis and Parker Bates) to shave and Kate (Mackenzie Hancsicsak) enjoying the clan’s time together.

In conclusion, the series attempted to answer future questions regarding the family’s future.

Kate (Chrissy Metz) committed herself to creating music schools for the visually impaired.

Kevin (Justin Hartley) would focus on his non-profit home building company.

In addition, Randall (Sterling K. Brown) planned to test the waters of politics and launch a Presidential campaign.

To sum up, viewers learn Jack and Rebecca reunite in death. He let her know that she would remain a big part of their children’s lives, even in death and that they “did good” together.
