‘This Is Us’ recap: Who is Sally from Uncle Nicky’s past?
In This Is Us Season 4, Episode 4, viewers heard about Nicky’s long-lost love, Sally. The new episode of This Is Us, adds more to the story. In the meantime, here’s a recap of what we know so far about Nicky and Sally. You probably remember when Kevin (Justin Hartley) bought a brand new trailer and popped it right next to his Uncle’s old run down RV. Nicky was not happy, and we finally found out why.
“It was originally for someone else,” Nicky began his story to Kevin and Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison). “The trailer, Sally. We started dating before I got drafted. I was too chicken to ask her out, so Jack did it for me. We wrote letters during the war. We were gonna drive across the country when I got back, but after a while, I just stopped writing.”
Nicky continued the story, explaining that he was “pretty broken” when he returned from the Vietnam War.
“But I decided I was gonna go for it — one shot at a life,” he said. “I got the 68 Boles Aero, practically took up all my savings, and I hitched it to my car, and I drove to Sally’s house.”
However, Nicky didn’t tell Sally that he was coming. When he got there, she wasn’t home. As Kevin is listening to the story, he wants to know what happened next.
“That was it, I realized it wasn’t meant to be,” Nicky concluded. “Then I drove off.”
When Kevin suggests that his Uncle could have an entirely different life right now, Nicky shrugs. Hopefully, Sally and Nicky will rekindle their love in the new episode of This Is Us.

“You’ll see that when Nicky arrives, Kevin’s very safe haven with Madison is going to have some ripples there,” Director Olin told the outlet. “You know this is the way we always ramp up to the end of the season and hopefully leave people going, ‘Oh sh*t!
