christ, this episode was just 45 minutes pain and tears ... I think unitl now no episodes hits me that hard ...

I have to say, teenie kevin is a handfull, and thats the nice way to say it, but I assume thats the age , and the fact that everyone sees him as number one, does not show the best in him sometimes - adult kevin gets it years later... the scene on the feld was one of the best and worst at the same time, and it shows so much that he did not get over his dad death, and the end of his sports career too, and the worst, I think he does not hit rock bottom so everything gets worse for him before he gets better...
i read online a nice idea, that at the end he find some help and kind words from a unexpected source, miguel... because everybody who is close to him don´t see his problems, but perhaps someone "outside" does, and miguel would be great I think, at the end he was his fathers best friend, and now husband from his mum ... but it is just an idea, ..

This episode had so much great scenes, -- the speech in the hospital kills me too, and I was so happy that he said how sorry he is to hisi fahter, than we all now, time is running out , sadly... the neckless story was such a touching moment, I assume jack got it from his brother, or perhaps shortly after his brothers death... I cant believe he lost it during his one night stand, .. I cried like a child when kevin had his breakdown .... i tink it was like his father died a second time, no he feels the pain ... tbh I know its stupid but I hope he gets his neckless back ...

oh yeah , and I think I know the reason for the fire ... electrical short circuit ... I hate that so much I cant tell u how much ... the mnoment he visit his home ... goose bumps

but last but not least, some happy thoughts ... the baby scenes were the cuttest! and they managed to make this homevideo so real, with the bad quality and so on ..... and i have to say baby kate steels baby kevin totally the show :D .. ( i so know adult kate is losing the baby, more drama is coming, and I totally know it, at the moment she said she is pregnant ...

I am quite sure I forgot something, but I am busy tearing up, so excuse me ... oO ....

I think Kevin was about to ask Randall for help at the end of the episode, but yeah, I agree that Miguel would most likely want to help him too.

the speech in the hospital kills me too
Me too, Milo is sooo good with speeches.

tbh I know its stupid but I hope he gets his neckless back ...
I hope so too, I thought she was going to find it, and give it back from the window.

and I think I know the reason for the fire ... electrical short circuit ...
Yeah, it looks like it is what happened.

yes he tried to tell him, ... its really sad to watch that nobody sees how bad he is at the moment .... the running gag with the beard was funny and sad at the same time ...

I hope so too, I thought she was going to find it, and give it back from the window.
i thought that too, but i understand why she was mad and closed the window ...

True! I wanted to mention that but I forgot all that I wanted to say. That episode was so emotional for Kevin, I just wish I could hug him.

this episode was full of emotional scenes, I forgot a few things too ... the scene on stage, seeing his father ...
and what hits me hard too, was the fight between jack and teeny kevin about his drinking ... and the scene after where jack was alone in the kitchen talking to his AA sponsor ...
