Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Madison’s (Caitlin Thompson) wedding day finally arrived.
But she teared up after only two photos.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It feels like we’ve been working up to this gut-wrenching apology for awhile.

How did you approach that scene, and where Rebecca was coming from?
MANDY MOORE:The clock is ticking.
I do think it is an essential part of her healing.
It was a long time coming.
Because it’s just so heavy.
In this mini flash-forward, we see almost the entire family, except Rebecca.
How much worse might she be mentally by this time?
Or is her absence evidence that’s she just still team Toby?
[Laughs] Rebecca is there.
We didn’t see her, but perhaps we will still.
Perhaps there will be a bigger picture to lean into that particular time, but you will see her.
She is obviously still around.
Rebecca says she’s increasingly struggling to picture Jack at family events.
She tips that it might be a symptom of her disease.
It’s a little bit of both, but probably more the latter.
Rebecca asks Kevin to build her a house.
What is that house going to mean to her and the Pearsons as a family base?
Well, we’ve seen the house.
It’s pretty stellar.
It’s just the culmination of a dream, of plans being fully realized.
Maybe this idea that she had for herself of growing old with Jack.
You’re going into your final season, andcreator Dan Fogelman saidit will be very ambitious for you particularly.
What are you excited for?
And what’s one thing you hope to accomplish that you haven’t done yet on the show?
Can we see what the wedding is in Puerto Rico?
Are they doing shots with each other?"
I’m really curious about that in a fun sense.
