The Nov. 7 episode of \u2018This Is Us\u2019 revealed that Jack and Rebecca didn\u2019t have the easiest time adopting Randall. Plus, Kevin makes a huge decision about his relationship with Sophie.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to take a trip to a Pearson period we haven\u2019t yet seen. Kevin, Kate, and Randall are about to turn one, and their parents are trying to make Randall\u2019s adoption official. A social worker repeatedly stops by the Pearson house to check in on Randall. Jack and Rebecca have to jump through a lot of hoops, including going before a judge. Jack and Rebecca take the kids before Judge Bradley, and he has some questions. He wants to talk to the social worker before he proceeds with the adoption. Jack and Rebecca confront Judge Bradley outside of court. They want to know what they\u2019ve done wrong. \u201cI don\u2019t believe that child belongs in your home,\u201d Judge Bradley tells them. \u201cThat child belongs to a black family.\u201d He fears that Jack and Rebecca won\u2019t give Randall the tools to succeed in life as a black man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, William is not doing so good. He\u2019s been arrested for drug possession and put in jail until his sentencing hearing. The judge, named Judge Crowder, is disappointed in William\u2019s bad decisions. \u201cJust a year ago my mother was alive, and my girl was alive. And we were having a son. And now they\u2019re gone. They\u2019re all gone,\u201d William tells the judge. \u201cSo I come here, and you tell me you\u2019re disappointed? Well, guess what? I am more disappointed. I am the most disappointed man you\u2019ve ever met in your whole damn life. So if you want to lock me up, lock me up. Put me inside because there is nothing out there for me anymore.\u201d William is the epitome of a broken man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Crowder asks to talk to William before his sentencing. William\u2019s speech has stayed with Judge Crowder. \u201cYou said you were the most disappointed man in the world, and I am here to tell you that I fear I am a close second, Mr. Hill, \u201d Judge Crowder says to William. \u201cBecause I am the man that writes terrible stories day after day, and I can\u2019t change the endings. And that, sir, is a horrible disappointment. So I\u2019m going to see if we can find you a different ending here. I\u2019m going to take a chance on you.\u201d All that Judge Crowder asks is that William looks at his face and remembers it. He tells William that whenever the dark path seems like the easier route, remember his face.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, Rebecca sends Judge Bradley a letter. She\u2019s Randall\u2019s mother whether he likes it or not. Judge Bradley ends up recusing himself from the Pearsons\u2019 case, so Jack and Rebecca are able to officially adopt Randall!<\/span><\/p>\n

Doing Your Best<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Randall is not psyched about taking Deja to see her mother in prison. At the prison, he meets a social worker named Linda, played by Debra Jo Rupp, who tells him that Deja\u2019s mom has opted out of seeing her. Randall gets all sorts of pissed. He screws up big time by insinuating that Linda isn\u2019t doing enough to help kids like Deja. Linda tells him off good. She\u2019s looking out for the kids as best she can. Not all families are like the Pearsons. Randall tells Deja that there was a mix up with her mom. Before they leave, Deja wants to get her purse. She\u2019s been saving up her allowance so her mom can get everything she needs in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Randall reveals what happened, Beth is furious. She doesn\u2019t care about a court order. She doesn\u2019t want Deja to see her mother anymore. Randall goes to talk to Deja\u2019s mother, Shaunna. She didn\u2019t want Deja to see her face all beaten up and broken. Randall begins to tell Shaunna about his plans for Deja, and she gets defensive. She still thinks she is what\u2019s best for Deja and reveals she\u2019s going to fight for her daughter. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have to go through me,\u201d Randall tells Shaunna. \u201cI\u2019ve been through worse,\u201d she replies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving Forward & Then Back Again<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Poor Kevin. He is in a really bad place right now. He\u2019s still taking pills and drinking. He keeps stalling on moving to New York. Sophie\u2019s tired of Kevin not making their relationship a priority. Kevin just can\u2019t get his life together. Kate and Toby finally tell Kevin that they\u2019re having a baby. Everyone\u2019s moving forward but him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toby reveals he\u2019s scared to tell his Catholic mother that he\u2019s having a baby out of wedlock. Kate offers to get married right away. She tries to act like she doesn\u2019t care about having a big wedding, but Toby notices. Toby starts talking to Jack\u2019s urn because he\u2019s Toby. He knows in his heart that Kate wants a wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling inspired by Kate and Toby, Kevin goes out to buy Sophie a ring. Kevin flies out and starts dreaming about having a family. He can\u2019t shake the pills or the fear of failure, so he begins to self-destruct. He walks up to Sophie\u2019s place and rips her heart out. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to be a husband to you,\u201d he says. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to be a father to our kids. I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t have anything to give you. There\u2019s nothing inside of me to give to you, okay? I don\u2019t have anything. I\u2019m an empty shell.\u201d He claims he\u2019s just been playing a part around her. He doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s good enough for her. He feels like he\u2019s going to be a disappointment, so he calls their future a \u201cnightmare.\u201d Oh, Kevin. What have you done?<\/span><\/p>\n

Toby plans the most epic proposal to Kate. She deserves the big, lavish wedding. Toby wants to Kate to have anything and everything she wants. He even got Jack\u2019s permission in his own Toby way. Of course, Kate says yes!<\/span><\/p>\n

William remembers Judge Crowder\u2019s face when he\u2019s faced with temptation. However, when older William is told he doesn\u2019t have much time left, he\u2019s about to start using again. He sees Crowder\u2019s face, but it\u2019s not enough. But Randall is. The second he\u2019s about to light up, Randall knocks on his door. That\u2019s the day they met.<\/span><\/p>\n

Randall breaks the news to Beth that Deja\u2019s mother wants her back. As much as he\u2019s beginning to love Deja, he sees both sides. He\u2019s thought about William, who was so lost and spent most of his life missing his son. He\u2019s also thought about his own parents, who were so fiercely protective of Randall. Randall didn\u2019t have a choice, but he\u2019s going to make sure Deja has one when it comes to her future.<\/span><\/p>\n
