Things start out with a Big Three video chat that does not go well, like, at all.
Randall has been doing extensive research and has found an Alzheimers trial that Rebecca fits all the criteria for.
But it is for nine months.
And it is in St. Louis.
He reiterates how important early intervention can be.
Kate sort of agrees because, I mean, who even knows what Kates purpose is at this point?
Kevin begrudgingly says fine.
EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY COOL AND FINE HERE.
Off to New York City Kevin and Rebecca go.
But this is not Rebeccas first time in the city.
No, this entire episode is dedicated to Rebecca-in-New-York storylines.
Did anyone else yell you have no idea!
Kevin is just being the bestest boy.
So when Kevin gets Randall alone, he asks if they can hold off on bringing up the trial.
He wants Rebecca to have one great day.
He agrees, but have you met Randall?
There is no way in hell hes going to keep that promise.
At the afterparty, Kevin leaves his family for two minutes.
Rebecca leaves to get some air and those two have it outagain.
Randall yells about Kevin being unreliable because of his acting career.
And then things get REAL.
No one flips a table, but, like, theres still time.
When Randall and Kevin finally go outside to check on their mom, shes gone.
She texts them: Shes at the Met to go see about a painting.
I guess Randall and/or Kevin are big museum-goers because man do they find Madame X quickly.
She talks about how shes always wanted to come back and see this painting, but never made it.
Each time, telling herself that next time, next time shed make it to the Met.
And now shes realizing that shes out of next times.
She does not want to participate in that trial, and thats that.
I never pegged Randall for harboring guilt from that night.
LOL, thats cute.
Kevin, for not being there?
Of course he is driven by guilt.
Randall is obviously haunted by that thought, but Kevin never thinks about it.
And that might be a difference theyll never be able to overcome.
Im just having feelings, okay?
Ugh, what a waste of Dave Annable!
The man knows family dramas with a fierce matriarch at the center.
Hi, hello, its me, the woman who missesBrothers & Sistersevery day.
Lets see it, show!
It was a short conversation, Kate says.
Oh, to see it!
A power move all around!
