Rating :*****( 5 stars)
The episode started with Jack a teen or at least a pre-teen and it showed how his father used to be abusive to his mother. The next scene also in the past is when Rebecca and Jack got their own house, and they both really love the house they’re getting it ready for the babies. Back in the present Toby is in the hospital, but he is alive. Kate and Toby are playing strip poker in the hospital, but Kate refuses to strip when the doctor comes in. Oliva comes back and she says that she has changed, and she wants to be back in the play and she wants to date Kevin again. Jesse William’s boyfriend and Randell are trying to get to know each other better. In the past Rebecca sends out Jack for Ice Cream, but instead, he goes to see his father for alone of money. William says that Jesse has been taking him to go see state funded nursing homes; because he doesn’t want his cancer to be a burden for Randell and his family. The episode ended with Jack and Rebecca in a new house that Jack had brought for them, a bigger one and you as the viewer are to assume that it was with his father mother that was given to Jack.
I find the writing on this show so great, and I love it so much I think that it is some of the best writing on TV today. This was a show that was filled with so many quotable moments, and I loved all the writing on the show. “So is this the moment when we find out if we’re having a boy of a girl?”-Jack “we have what I like to call artnerships.”-Kevin “ No no it’s an exciting thing.”-Jack “I don’t know I heard other New Yorkers slam it and I wanted to fit in.” -Kevin “I brought you guys here to distract me, and you’re doing a terrible job.”-Kate “Who are you, and what have you done with my wife?” -Jack
I loved this episode, and there was really nothing that I didn’t  like about this show in the typical This Is Us fashion, there was nothing really wrong with this episode. I loved the scenes in the past where you got to see how Jack and Rebecca brought their first house, and how they brought another house that was bigger when they found out they were having triplets. I loved the scenes in the present in particular the Toby and Kate scenes, and the fact that Toby told Kate he loved her and then later she told him she loved him back. I loved that we got more backstory into the kinds of parents that Jack and Rebecca came from. I think that Slone and Kevin are just adorable, and I hope that their relationship expands on the show.

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes  The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews . I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them. Life This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard. Read I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today! All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391 I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I deci...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can  be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.   The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much...
