Fans of the Pearson family drama on NBC want to know if This Is Us is on tonight, April 13? With all of the COVID-19 restrictions and quarantines, the series hasn’t had a consistent airing schedule. Will Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Kevin (Justin Hartley) finally have a heart-to-heart tonight, or do viewers have to wait one more week?

‘This Is Us’ recap between Randall and Kevin

During the This Is Us Season 4 finale, Randall and Kevin had a massive blowout fight. Kevin was upset at Randall for forcing their mother, Rebecca (Mandy Moore), to be a part of a clinical trial in St. Louis. However, the fight was the culmination of years of pent-up frustrations between the two boys as they grew into men.

“He died ashamed of you,” Randall told Kevin about their father, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia).

Kevin also thrust an awful insult at his brother. 

“You know, I used to think the worst thing that happened to me was the day that Dad died,” Kevin tossed back. “It’s the day they brought you home. Hand to God Randall, the worst thing that ever happened to me was the day they brought you home.”

Randall and Kevin hadn’t made amends. However, the city councilman comforted Kevin’s fiance, Madison (Caitlin Thompson), while she was in labor with their twins. Viewers want to know if the two brothers will make up on This Is Us tonight?

Is ‘This Is Us’ on tonight?

This Is Us returns tonight, April 13, 2021, with a serious conversation between Randall and Kevin. 

In the latest sneak peek of This Is Us Season 5, Episode 13, Kevin flies to Randall’s home to finally have that “talk.” Randall asks about his flight, and the two brothers share some awkward conversation about Sudoku and Robert De Niro. Then, Kevin jumps right to the point of his visit.

“Look, I don’t want to beat around the bush,” Kevin begins in the clip from People.

Randall is intrigued by what his brother is going to say next on This Is Us tonight.

“Look, I just feel like it would be easy to start catching up, you know, and fall back into our rhythm without actually talking,” Kevin continues. “And I don’t want this to get away from me. Randall, there’s some things I need to say to you.”
