Steinberg calls Tuesday’s episode “terrifying” and “heartbreaking,” but also “heartening.”
“I didn’t say never!
I never said never!
‘This Is Us’.NBC
I just said, ‘Not right now’!”
says Kate (Chrissy Metz).
How does that fix our family???"
snaps Toby (Chris Sullivan).
Meanwhile, Jack Jr. is sighing, trying to tune out the noise or get them to stop.
When he (accidentally?)
creates a commotion, they come rushing into the room, and he explains that he knocked something over.
He’s okay (for now).
Steinberg, who wrote the episode.
Often when there’s tension in that household, the child gets forgotten."
How concerned should viewers be for Kate and Toby, who seems closer than ever to a breaking point?
“They should be very concerned,” says Steinberg.
“They are walking a tight rope right now.”
This Is Usairs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on NBC.
