Is It Sophie, Cassidy or the Wedding Singer?

Spoiler notify! Do not carry on if you have not viewed Tuesday’s episode of This Is Us.

Kevin Pearson finally figured it out.

On Tuesday’s episode of This Is Us, titled “The Night time Ahead of the Wedding ceremony,” the Man-ny star acquired his love daily life in get right after several years and decades of stumbling in and out of interactions, a single-evening stands and failed dates. The clock turned back to the night prior to Kate and Phillip’s “I do’s,” presenting 3 probable women of all ages in Kevin’s orbit. Did he get his act collectively and rekindle a a long time-lengthy romance with his initial really like, Sophie (Alexandra Breckenridge)? Or, did he and Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison) recognize there was additional between them than friendship? Or, was the wedding ceremony singer/Phillip’s buddy, Arielle (guest star Katie Lowes), the lucky girl who caught his eye?

The answer, it turns out, was normally there from the incredibly beginning. It just took Kevin significantly of his daily life to get to a point the place he could see it with distinct eyes and a distinct coronary heart. So, which of the a few girls did Kevin go all in with in the finish? Here is how it all went down, and all the little bombshells that went together with it.

SOPHIE

This Is Us

The majority of the episode concentrated on Kevin’s reunion with Sophie, who finishes up shedding her luggage (and hence, dress for the wedding day) and reveals that her partner, Grant, is trapped in New York. So begins their spontaneous experience as they go to a regional laundromat to uncover a costume to don to the marriage, a trick she learned from her late mom, and finds a attractive inexperienced dress — the identical one particular she finishes up putting on. A lot has improved for Sophie given that the handful of instances they have encountered every single other in excess of the a long time, the most significant transform currently being that she’s embraced a little bit of a nomadic lifetime and is currently functioning as a touring nurse in close proximity to Berlin.

The former couple stops by the vineyard for an afternoon sunset stroll and Kevin acknowledges that Sophie appears to be on a fantastic path in her life. “You feel definitely happy, Sophie. I’m happy you found anyone,” he tells her. She graciously requires his compliment, but then drops an unforeseen bombshell: “I am genuinely happy, Kevin… I am also divorced.” The revelation stuns Kevin, who flashes again to Kate’s engagement get together when he first satisfied her now ex-spouse, Grant. Sophie admits that the total condition with her ex pressured her to “grow up” rapidly. They even touch on Rebecca’s disintegrating mental state, silently accepting that she’s headed towards the stop.

At an intimate spouse and children bonfire that evening, the pair can’t help but steal longing glances at each and every other. They make it to Kevin’s lodge space later, exactly where they pick up suitable where by they left off, and exactly where she leaves her pink bra (just one of the “clues” Beth and Madison eyed in Kevin’s home). But points get a tiny bushy when Kevin remarks that her shampoo however “smells the exact,” prompting her to guarantee him that it really is not. That comment will cause Sophie’s guard to go up and their promising evening collectively cools off when she stops it from heading any even more, as she clarifies that she’s bothered by the simple fact that Kevin appears to be to like how she was in the previous and not how she is now.

Sophie tells Kevin a tale of a thing her ex-partner would do when they’d see him on Television set. She tells Kevin he’d fake to speedy-forward through Kevin’s scenes, but she arrived at her boiling point when she couldn’t sit by as he did the same “rapidly-forwarding” joke: “I understood I am hardly ever likely to be capable to rapid-ahead via you. That’s the type of keep you have had over me, Kevin. That is how substantially I have carried you with me.” Kevin returns the confession: “And I have carried you with me, Soph.”

Continue to, it can be all far too substantially for Sophie due to the fact they actually have “many years of heritage between us” and she “can not go backwards.” And Sophie leaves Kevin alone in his hotel place, which sales opportunities us to him at the bar exactly where he spots…

ARIELLE

This Is Us

Kevin normally takes the empty seat future to her and she orders his nonalcoholic consume for him: ginger ale, gentle ice. Stunned she is aware what he beverages, Arielle describes that she likes to individuals-check out and write down lyrics and poetry on napkins. She reads the poem she scrawled about him on a serviette — the very same napkin with girly handwriting Beth and Madison noticed in the lodge area (the second “clue”) — when he to start with walked into the dimly lit bar.

A lot of flirting goes on among the two, but Kevin decides to simply call it a evening and leaves the bar. But not ahead of Arielle items him the napkin poem she wrote for him.

CASSIDY

This Is Us

Right after a quick (and somewhat uncomfortable) conversation with Uncle Nicky, Cassidy bumps into Kevin in the lodge hallway and asks Kevin for a favor and they enter his room. Apparently, the zipper on her costume has been stuck on the fabric and he requirements his aid to unzip the gown. She leaves her floral scarf on the chair (“clue” No. 3) and Kevin properly aids her unzip the costume. Not able to bear one particular additional next in the fitted dress, she hops into the toilet to alter into a lot more cozy pajamas for the night.

Kevin and Cassidy, who slept together as soon as in the previous (when she was not in a terrific location in her life), obtain their sophisticated history. But Cassidy laughs off the concept of rekindling any romance with Kevin: “You’re not my person and I am not yours, and you know that.” Alternatively, they promise each individual other they are greatest good friends.

That’s when we’re brought again to the closing moment from final week’s episode when Randall asks Kevin what happened the evening in advance of the wedding ceremony, and Kevin’s truthful respond to to irrespective of whether it truly is “a very good story” is that it really is still to be determined.

All around that time, Rebecca sees a downcast Sophie, who’s continue to digesting every thing that took place the night time prior to, and sits down with her, being aware of total nicely that it really is Kevin who’s designed her former daughter-in-legislation experience this way. At the start off of their dialogue, it seems Rebecca — whose memory and psychological point out have been deteriorating promptly — sees Sophie as the grownup she is, but when she mentions Kevin staying in his early 20s, the sad real truth hits Sophie like a ton of bricks.

“The timing is just off right now. He just isn’t all set for you. He will be, but it truly is likely to get a whilst and I do not know if you can wait all over for that…,” Rebecca tells Sophie, assuring her that he’ll ultimately achieve a location the place he can make a selection about his really like existence he would not screw up. “But when the timing is proper, he is likely to be so terrific.”

In the meantime, Randall tries to provide information to Kevin about what to do about the full Sophie predicament just after he learns about all that went down amongst the exes just hours before.

“The environment is freaking insane. It makes no perception. But you and Sophie alongside one another, it helps make far more sense than most things,” Randall tells his brother. “You might be not heading to screw it up this time. I know it.” And this time, we believe that it.

It all culminates in a instant that is — fairly pretty much — been setting up up for decades amongst Kevin and Sophie, and this time, it can be Sophie that offers the grand speech. She acknowledges their rocky historical past, telling Kevin she’s been “praying [for years] that [he]’d mature up.” And when he did, she confesses she “freaked out.”

“I do not want us to tumble back again into the old versions of ourselves. I need you to enjoy me for the woman I am now, not the girl that I was for the reason that you’re not the person that you had been,” a teary Sophie asks Kevin. “I want to tumble in adore with the person that you have develop into.”

Of course, Kevin experienced one last shock for his initial, and now that we’ve finished this romance journey alongside with him, only correct adore. He normally takes out a quite wrinkled Valentine’s Day card he wrote when he was just a younger boy the working day Sophie was launched as a new scholar in his elementary college course (i.e. the quick, but lovely flashbacks to a quite, extremely youthful Kevin and Sophie). “I’ve constantly carried you with me, Sophie,” Kevin sweetly reveals, a throwback to the very same promise he advised her prior to matters went sideways the night ahead of.

That gesture solidifies it for Sophie, who kisses Kevin — for serious this time — as the stars last but not least aligned for the new (previous) few to make it this time.

This Is Us airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
