We hate to say it, but we now see the twisted wisdom in what This Is Us‘ Nicky keeps saying: Maybe Jack never should have come to get him in Vietnam.
Heartless? Probably. But go down this rabbit hole with me. If Jack hadn’t brought Nicky to camp, that boy from the village might not have died. And if Nicky had managed to survive the war without overdosing or getting himself killed, there could have been more of a chance for the brothers’ reconciliation, given that blame for the child’s death wouldn’t have been a factor.
Continuing that thread: If Jack hadn’t hidden his brother’s continued existence from his family for decades, perhaps Kevin wouldn’t have put so much significance into coming to the rescue of his estranged uncle, who really didn’t want to be saved. And then possibly — possibly! — Kev could’ve come out of this week’s episode with his sobriety intact.
But wishes, horses, beggars, yadda yadda. The hard truth is that Kevin’s self-appointed mission to salvage Nicky and his relationship with the family fails in “Songbird Road: Part Two,” leading a discouraged Kev to take his first drink since leaving rehab. Read on to find out what else happens in the hour. (And make sure to check out what star Justin Hartley had to say about the episode.)
RESCUE MISSION UNDERWAY | We pick up with Kevin, Randall and Kate still in Nicky’s trailer after finding him sitting with the booze and the gun. With his hand on his uncle’s shoulder, Kevin softly says, “C’mon. You’re spending the night at the hotel with us.”
They all relocate to where The Big Three are staying, but Nick doesn’t seem interested in doing anything other than sleeping. In the hallway outside his room, the Pearson kids have a conference. Kevin insists that they have to help the older man, given that he’s shown strong signs of post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism. Kate gently points out that Nicky has been living that way for years, and maybe a huge change isn’t the best idea? When they all agree that someone’s got to fill Rebecca in — though no one wants to do it — Kevin gets pissy as he says he’ll call their mom.
By breakfast the next morning, Kevin hasn’t slept. He’s spent the night looking for nearby places that offer resources to veterans. But Nicky seems far more interested in dumping a pound of sugar on his cereal than in seeking treatment. And then someone walks up to their table. “I’m Rebecca,” Mama Pearson says, not very warmly, to Nick. “I was Jack’s wife.”
KEVIN’S SOFTER SIDE | Rebecca is taken aback by how much Nick’s eyes resemble Jack’s. She wants to know if he knew about their family, which is when Nicky reveals the visit we saw unfold in the previous episode. (It took place in 1992, we learn.) “He seemed very happy,” Nicky says, seeming very uncomfortable, then excuses himself to go outside. Based on the looks on the remaining Pearsons’ faces, Jack never told any of them that his trip to the lumber supplier was a sham.
In a flashback to right after Jack got home from seeing Nicky, we see he had trouble sleeping. And the next morning, he was a little zoned out. So Rebecca took one for the team and volunteered to drive Kevin to the mall for a baseball-card signing.
Jack “was acting so strangely,” present-day Rebecca says, adding that it was close to Valentine’s Day.
The episode toggles between the flashback and the present-day, but for simplicity’s sake, here’s what happened on that day after Jack returned. Kevin was his usual bratty self while in line for the signing. Rebecca missed the actual moment her son met the player because she had to pee, but when she came back, she watched from afar while her surly son was all smiles and chatter with the Pittsburgh Pirates’ John Smiley. But when he was done, Kevin wouldn’t tell her what they were talking about. So she asked Smiley, who told her that Kevin had heard the rumors that he was going to be traded to the Minnesota Twins and had looked up some suggestions of what to do in his free in Minnesota, based on the hobbies listed on Smiley’s rookie card. Rebecca was taken aback a) to see evidence that pre-teen Kevin had the ability to be kind and considerate and b) to realize that her non-Randall son knew how to research something.
Meanwhile, what was going on at the house was a whole other story.
JACK BLOWS UP | Jack begged out of helping Kate and Randall make Valentines for their classmates. Randall knew something was up with his dad, but Jack continually insisted he was fine. He left the kids alone in the house while he went out in the back to lift weights/burn off some of his unease, telling them to order a pizza for themselves when they got hungry. (Side note: Randall’s calling the pizza place and telling them “Hi. I’m an adult” in a deep voice is one of the few moments of levity in this episode.)
When Jack returned inside, though, he flew into a rage upon seeing how messy the kids’ card-making activities had become. He scooped up the pizza they were eating and stomped into the kitchen; a moment later, the kids ran in after hearing a plate break. Jack mumbled that the dish had slipped out of his hand, but the pizza stain on the wall far from where he was standing told the truth: He’d thrown it.
A little while later, a much-cooler Jack apologized to his son and daughter, saying he was tired. Kate and Randall forgave him. And then Jack started a goofy sequin fight with the kids, which Kevin eagerly jumped into when he and Rebecca return home.
NICKY SAYS ‘NO, THANKS’ | Back in the present-day storyline, Kevin talks a big game about getting Nicky help. But you can tell from the looks on Randall and Kate’s faces that they’re going to bail, and soon. Kate says she has a doctor’s appointment in California the next day. Then Randall brings up a (kinda lame) point that Beth needs him around for moral support while she’s unemployed, adding “I can’t just camp out in some hotel with an uncle that doesn’t want our help and who did didn’t want us to know in the first place.” Kevin’s temper flares, but he immediately apologizes, then turns to Rebecca: “Looks like it’s you and me.”
Later, Nicky visits a counseling center with the remaining Pearsons, but it’s clear he’s only doing so to be polite. Nick tells his nephew that he’s seen counselors before, with no success. “I’m a drunk,” he says. “Also, I can’t seem to leave my trailer without getting the shakes.” On their last night at the hotel, Rebecca tells her former brother-in-law it’s time for them to talk.
While Kevin goes to Nicky’s trailer to try and clean things up, Rebecca tells Nick she didn’t want to meet him “because I didn’t want to unravel what Jack had always told me.” She tries to eke some childhood memories out of him, but no dice. Then she tells Nick that his brother was newly sober at the time of his death and that he might have found his way back to him. “You still have a chance to make things right, because I’m here, and his son is here,” she says, adding that Kevin has had a tough year and is just worried about his uncle. “Let me get this straight: The message is, ‘Shape up, Nicky, because the kid needs a win?’” he snaps at her. I know he’s being mean. I know Rebecca is just trying to make things better. But OH MY GOODNESS YES, PEARSON FAMILY, NOT EVERYONE NEEDS YOU TO SWAN IN AND RESCUE THEM. She gets up and leaves.
Outside, a chagrined Nicky stops Rebecca’s apology about invading his space to tell her a story about how what a great builder Jack was, even as a kid. “I used to be a person,” he tells her dejectedly. “I wish I could be that person again. But it’s been so long, I don’t think I can.” Then he cries a little as he says by way of parting, “You guys were all he ever wanted.”
THE PLATE DEBATE | Let’s put a pin in that and check in with Randall and Kate, who decide to swing by their old neighborhood before taking Kate to the airport. Their old house isn’t there anymore, of course, but they knock on the door of the new home and ask if they can come in. The family that’s there now says no, given that they’re in the middle of an emotional argument — and given this show’s history, I half expect them to get their own backstory episode next season — but they eventually change their minds and let the Pearson siblings in to look around.
While they’re exploring, Kate reminisces about the sequin fight and what an awesome day that was. Randall’s all, “Um, broken plate?” She maintains that never happened. Then they proceed to have a fraught family discussion that goes on far too long until the home’s new inhabitants, having apparently come to their senses, politely kick the pair out.
“Did I misremember our entire childhood?” Kate wonders in the car afterward. But Randall reassures her that Jack so often made things good that that is what she remembers.
When Randall gets home, he greets his daughters (“Angelica, Eliza, Peggy” — ha!) and then is surprised to see an agitated Beth heading out the door: Her mom hurt her hip again, so she and Zoe are going to see how she’s doing.
DON’T DO IT, KEV! | In Bradford, Kevin drives Nicky home and helps him fix his leaky roof. Nick says he’ll go to at least one meeting at the vet center, which is something. And he wishes he could tell Kevin that he’s willing to be fixed, “but you and your family, it’s just too painful.” So they shake hands and say maybe they’ll meet again, then Kevin leaves.
In the car home, Kevin looks despondent. Rebecca gives him a pep talk about how he should feel good about doing what he set out to do. But she’s not aware of what happened when he was at Nicky’s trailer all by himself: Thanks to a flashback, we know that Kevin wound up drinking a lot of the liquor that was sitting on Nicky’s table, and has had his first relapse.

The SA club slumped to an 99-91 defeat to Perth Wildcats in Thursday night’s round-one National Basketball League clash at Adelaide Arena.
It came 194 days after the Sixers’ championship decider reverse to Melbourne United and an off-season during which key men Mitch Creek, Shannon Shorter and Josh Childress departed.
The Sixers were at times sloppy in possession, conceding 17 points from turnovers, and wasteful in offence, converting just 21 per cent of attempts from outside the arc.
Adelaide trailed by 15 midway through the third period, but rallied to hit the front early in the final term led by Daniel Johnson (23 points, 10 rebounds) and Nathan Sobey (20).
A late masterclass by last season’s league MVP Bryce Cotton, who landed eight straight points to hand the Wildcats a matchwinning advantage, proved decisive.
Sobey hit a hook shot with 51 seconds left on the clock to cut the visitors’ lead to three.
But Cotton (22 points) iced Perth’s victory by holding his nerve from the free-throw line to leave the 36ers searching for answers ahead of Saturday’s road trip to face Sydney Kings.
The night started solidly for the home side as the Wildcats needed a late Jesse Wagstaff three-pointer to tie the game up at the end of a seesawing opening period.
Returning US import Ramone Moore had earlier hit a three to record Adelaide’s first points of the campaign.
Cotton pushed the Wildcats out to a slender lead, but Dominican recruit Adris DeLeon was on target from long range to regain the Sixers’ advantage.
Fellow new boy Harry Froling converted an offensive rebound, before Clint Steindl and Wagstaff landed threes to level the scores.
Perth pushed out to a seven-point half-time buffer as Terrico White and Nicholas Kay (10 points each for the half) took control for the visitors.
Stiendl, Kay and Norton each hit threes early in the second quarter, before newly-installed Sixers captain Johnson grabbed back-to-back buckets.
A big Rhys Vague dunk took Perth to a lead of 11, but two more conversions for Johnson (15 for the half) kept Adelaide in touch at the main break.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 15-point lead in the third quarter thanks to Damian Martin’s jump shot.
But a Sixers revival, sparked by US recruit Jacob Wiley (13 points, nine rebounds), clawed that buffer back to one at the last change.
A big Johnson dunk followed by another DeLeon three got the ball rolling, before Wiley grabbed a crucial bucket and kept his cool from the line.
Veteran Nathan Teys sunk a long ranger for the hosts and Wiley handed them the lead only for Kay to hit a jump shot on the buzzer to keep Perth’s nose in front.
PERTH WILDCATS 99 (B Cotton 22 T White 20 N Kay 18) ADELAIDE 36ERS 91 (D Johnson 23 N Sobey 20 J Wiley 13) at Titanium Security Arena.

Amazon Prime has returned to things four-wheeled with its latest original production. It’s not another Jeremy Clarkson spinoff, though; it’s a rare look at the inner workings of a Formula 1 team. Grand Prix Driver is a four-part documentary—available from today—that gives the viewer an access-all-pass into the workings off the McLaren team as it gets ready for the 2017 Formula 1 season.
Access to teams in this highly competitive and highly secretive sport is unusual, particularly a team as image-conscious as McLaren. So it’s a little surprising just how much we get to see, as what’s meant to be a turnaround season instead plumbs new depths of despair for the organization.
It’s a simple concept: camera crews wander about the breathtaking McLaren Technology Center, the white-and-gray technopalace from which the cars are birthed. They film in meeting rooms, workshop bays, and at the test track, as the 2017 car comes together and the team’s two drivers—superstar Fernando Alonso and rookie Stoffel Vandoorne—in the run-up to the first race of the year. But the cameras are visiting MTC at an eventful time.

The pound is currently trading at €1.116, an improvement compared to yesterday.
Figures by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that the UK wage growth is struggling to improve.
Weekly earnings for three months prior to September rose 2.2 per cent, which is down from 2.3 per cent in the previous period.
This is despite the inflation rate for September being 3 per cent, therefore lagging behind.
The wage growth difficulty is hitting households hard, as food and fuel costs continue to increase as well.
Despite this, unemployment remains at a 42-year low, at a rate of 4.3 per cent.
This is the lowest since 1975 and down by 0.5 per cent compared to last year.
The ONS also showed figures of productivity increase, up 0.9 per cent in the last three months, which is the strongest in six years.
Laura Parsons, currency analyst at TorFX explained what this means for the exchange rate as the recent figures are announced.
She commented: “GBP/EUR briefly dipped below €1.110 on Wednesday in reaction to mixed UK employment data.
“Average earnings picked up ever-so-slightly but remain a long way below the rate of inflation.
“The fact that the level of employment declined also weighed on Sterling slightly, despite the fact that the unemployment rate held at an over 40-year low.
“Meanwhile, the euro was supported by the news that the Eurozone’s trade surplus widened in September.
“The pound could extend losses against the euro today if the UK’s retail sales report shows the slump in consumer spending forecast by economists.
“Retail sales including auto fuel are believed to have risen 0.2 per cent on the month but fallen -0.5 per cent on the year.
“An uptick in the Eurozone’s consumer price index would also keep the GBP/EUR exchange rate under pressure.”
The Red Sox have won their own version of the Boston marathon, playing 19 innings and beating the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2.
The game at Fenway Park took six hours and ended after 1 a.m. Wednesday. About 700 fans were left in the ballpark when Hanley Ramirez hit a winning single.
It was the longest game in the majors since July 2016, when Cleveland beat Toronto 2-1 in 19 innings.
Boston used 12 pitchers, tying an American League record set a day earlier by the Los Angeles Angels.
Toronto took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. The AL East-leading Red Sox tied it on run-scoring groundouts by Ramirez and Mitch Moreland off closer Roberto Osuna.
It was Osuna’s 10th blown save of the season which leads the majors.
Roberto Osuna, who carried a career-best 1.79 FIP into tonight’s game, now leads the majors with 10 blown saves. 2017 sucks.

Titanfall 2 has sustained its playerbase and momentum with free DLC every month since its release, but there’s no question that the game was a hit that didn’t make the impact it should’ve. In an interview, Respawn’s CEO chalked it up to an inconvenient release window, but the long chat revealed the company’s plans to expand the franchise, though he wouldn’t say anything concrete. Luckily, the franchise’s mobile game, Titanfall: Assault, just got a wide release date of August 10th.
In an interview with Gamespot, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella commented on Titanfall 2′s successful (but lower-than-expected) sales, suggesting that the crowded holiday launch window and “aggressive pricing” were factors. “The game was successful, it sold well, but it didn’t quite sell as well as it should have,” Zampella said. It doesn’t help that the game competed with the critically and commercially successful Battlefield 1.
Zampella stated that Respawn probably won’t do any more big content packs for Titanfall 2 like last week’s Frontier Defense because, in his words, “We want to work on new stuff.” Whether that means a third Titanfall shooter or other games in the universe, he didn’t say. Ideally, it won’t go the way of the studio’s planned Titanfall card game, which shuttered in January.
But the franchise’s next game, the mobile RTS Titanfall: Assault, is coming. It was soft-launched in May and get a global release next week on Android,with iOS to follow later in the year.

The 38-year-old returned to BBC One’s new entertainment series, where 30 of the country’s best choirs and vocal groups battled it out in a series of sing-or-be-sung-off vocal challenges, but took a tumble at the star of the show.
BRIT Award winner and former choirboy Will walked down the show’s stairs alongside Bebe Rexha to meet host Mel Giedroyc.
Will was visibly shocked by the blunder and quickly grabbed the silver bannister.
The audience at home noticed the live mistake and instantly took to social media to share their thoughts.
One viewer tweeted: “Will Young going down the stairs was hilarious. He nearly totally lost his footing. #PitchBattle.”
“So did Will Young just almost fall down the stairs? Awww babes, good save though #PitchBattle,” posted another, as a third asked: “Did @willyoung just nearly fall down the stairs there?? #PitchBattle.”
A fourth teased: “#PitchBattle I am already looking forward to next week’s show to see what other stunts Will Young can do #Stairgate.”
However, some believe that the Pop Idol winner was joking and simply playing up to the cameras.
One fan tweeted: “@willyoung was joking, pretending to fall down the stairs, l saw him myself, anyone who is a fan of Will Young knows he jokes #PitchBattle.”
“Was that on purpose @willyoung? Styled it out #PitchBattle,” posted another, as a third added: “#PitchBattle Will Young staged that fall!”
Pitch Battle is available to watch on the BBC iPlayer now.
