When Jack died on Superbowl Sunday This Is Us chose to combat the Pearsons’ grieving process with a trip down memory lane in the family car. We only caught a brief glimpse into Rebecca’s life after losing Jack and now This Is Us Season 3 Episode 2, “A Philadelphia Story,” is ready to show us what happened after the funeral.
This will be the first time we see Rebecca as a single parent and grieving widow as she helps the Big Three prepare for college — an affair that is likely to be a tear jerker.
Meanwhile, Kevin gets the V.I.P. treatment as his family comes out to celebrate the premiere of his new movie.
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview!
Episode description: The Pearsons gather to support Kevin at his movie premiere. The teenage Big Three make college decisions.
