Featured review
Superb Acting
It's Thanksgiving and we hear Beth respond to all the glee in the car. She knows bad things always happen. We see three stories jumping back and forth in time (which they do seamlessly). First of all, we have Kevin, immediately getting drunk and full of guilt. He has cheated on Sophie and doesn't know what to do; but his immaturity shines through. He soon involves Kate in his secret, throwing her to the lions. Then we have Miguel's saga. Rebecca has invited that guy she met a while back. We are abundantly aware of his feelings for Rebecca and it is so uncomfortable, his trying to stay cool while his desired world drifts away. The guilt trip Kevin lays on him is so unfair. Kate and Toby have been at odds for some time and it is obvious that every little thing is bugging them. In this case, it is his lack of understanding when it comes to Kate and her treatment of their little boy. Finally, we see Rebecca played by Mandy Moore, doing one of the most amazing jobs of acting I've seen in a show. We see her before she and Jack are married, dueling with her mother. Then the Kevin/Sophie fiasco Thanksgiving with the new boyfriend where MIguel tells her he is moving, leaving her in tears. And then, the family meeting, where she lays out the facts they must face when her illness consumes her. Kevin is a complete jerk through this but finally must do the right thing. Another superbly moving episode.
