"The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. These are the last words she hears before going into the caboose (before she passes away). To this, William gives a beautiful, stunning speech to Rebecca. "This is quite sad, isn't it?" she asks William. And the person leading her through this experience (a.k.a the conductor on the train) was William (Ron Cephas Jones).Īt the end of the episode, after the family members have said their last words to Rebecca, she reaches the train's caboose. Meanwhile, in real life, as Rebecca's family said their final goodbyes, they appeared on the train. Rebecca was young on the train, and the passengers were people in her life, past and present. For her, this manifested in the form of a moving train. Viewers were taken inside Rebecca's psyche (literally) as she approached death.
After a long battle with Alzheimer's, Rebecca (Mandy Moore) passed, and the way her family told her goodbye was beautiful. Thankfully, both Kate and Maya stop falling for it in the end, which is a great reminder that the full saying that is actually "the blood of covenant" – meaning the relationships we choose - "is thicker than the water of the womb.This Is Us Season 6, Episode 17 was a tough one. They both use the idea of family to manipulate those closest them and explain away their bad deeds. (The fact that we don't see his corpse, and the resolution of a similar exchange in the comics, suggests that Fisk survives being shot at point blank.) I liked how the show placed these two scenes close together because it makes it clear how similar Eleanor and Fisk are. Fittingly, a battered Fisk has a similar interaction with Maya and plays the uncle card to save his life right before she shoots him. "Is this what heroes do, arrest their mothers on Christmas?" Eleanor, clearly trying to manipulate her daughter, asks as the cops shows up to take her away. From there, Kate reunites with her mother, who maintains that she did what she had to do protect Kate and that Kate wouldn't survive without her.
