Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsTwo errors when Kate sings in the club. 1. Kate goes "early" for a sound check but Toby and Rebecca, who left moments after she did, arrive in the middle of her actual performance. 2. All three need to leave in the same car. Since Kate never said where she was singing, obviously Toby and Rebecca didn't take a bus or drive separately. If they drove together, Rebecca's appearance (albeit late) shouldn't have rattled Kate.
- Quotes
Beth Pearson: You know I think you're funny, Kevin.
Kevin Pearson: I know. You laughed at all my jokes that night on the phone.
Beth Pearson: Wait a minute. You were on the line, too?
Kevin Pearson: Yeah.
Beth Pearson: Mm-mm. Forget it. I don't even want to know.
Kevin Pearson: Some things are better left unsaid.

Hard Issues
Lets face it, when it comes to family dynamics, simple logic can go out the window. Kate's adult relationship with her mother is so tense. She wants so badly to be praised for something without conditions. Even though Rebecca's comments seem benign, Kate has so little self esteem. I remember my father giving me a job to do when I was twelve. I threw myself into it with no goofing around and I felt such accomplishment. When my Dad saw what I had done he praised me, but then told me three things I could have done better. It was so hurtful. I think this is Kate's issue. The other things that were interesting were Kevin's embarrassing reboot of the Mannie. And, of course, the Randall/Beth story and Kevin's role in it. We also see Jack's recognition of his drinking issues.
