This season ofThis Is Ushas been long and winding for both the Pearsons onscreen and the show itself off-screen.

COVID forced a delayed start, multiple hiatuses, and shortened the season by two episodes.

On that note, let’s get into the crazy finale.

Jack and Rebecca show the kids their wedding tape to prove their love.

But that stirs up another fight.

So, Jack and Rebecca play along with a family wedding in the living room.

Jack vows to always love Rebecca and the Big Three forever.

All five Pearsons then join hands in delight.

She doesn’t need magical sparks, he says.

She should accept what she can get.

Next, just a couple of hours ahead of the ceremony, Madison remembers a past break-up.

Madison looks crushed in that moment.

It’s a heartbreakingly full-circle moment.

Kevin’s chaotic day

Kevin spends the day fretting about the wedding beingabsolutely perfect.

Family and other issues exacerbate his stress.

The final straw comes in the form of Nicky’s wedding presenttwo engraved Adirondack chairs.

Nicky always imagined marriage being “two people sitting in comfortable silence next to each other.”

When he finally focuses on getting ready, Madison knocks on his door.

She abruptly asks if he’s in love with her.

Shocked, Kevin says they’re about to get married and become a family.

Over Kevin’s protestations, Madison insists Kevin knows, too, that it’s not right.

Kate says Jack would worry about Kevin drinking to cope.

The family then holds hands, like they did during the living room wedding.

But Kate says they’ll figure out a way to both do the jobs they want.

The bride is Kate.

The apparent groom: Philip.

Maybe the Pearsons and long-distance relationships just don’t work.

Here’s to our newest Kate mystery.

Tess loves the revisions.

She then apologizes to Beth for being so cruel to her lately.

They exchange “I love yous,” other sweet words, and a hug.

Through tears, Rebecca says Randall has Laurel’s eyes.

Randall changes the subject, and then Kevin interrupts with the altar crisis.

In response, Randall tearfully opens up more about Laurel and what learning about her meant to him.

Like Kevin and Randall’s reconciliation, this other long-awaited confrontation is as heart-wrenching as expected.

Randall and Nicky

Deja and Malik

Before the ceremony, Deja hears from Malik that he got into Harvard.

He’s ecstatic, but Deja seems upsetbecause it’s in Boston.

We’ll (presumably) find out next season.

Until then, here’s to the Pearsons' latest journeys and the endings still to come.
