This Is Us

As Beth takes big steps in her dance educator career, Kevin puts Kate in a familiar situation of getting stuck between him and a best friend – Sophie in the ...

By making such a thing possible, it seems Beth is doing what her father predicted of his little island girl — changing the world. Beth approaches Vincent, to chastise him for ruining dance for her in that way, but she can't find the words. After the show, Beth calls Vincent and finally says her piece. She'd felt so alone, but Stacey is not alone — Beth will sit with her all night, if necessary … or Stacey can get up and take it from the top. But he remains abrasive toward Elijah, and when he learns that instead of the cabin for Pearson Thanksgiving, Madison wants to take the twins to Elijah's family dinner, he blows up at the couple — and at Kate, for keeping that from him. Confronting him afterward, Kate reminds Kevin she's had his back their whole lives, no matter how hard — a reference to choosing him over Sophie. She says he always takes one step forward and 16 back, like with being supportive of Madison. Kate's letting Kevin crash with her, even though it's adding to her marital strain (judging by Toby's constant work calls, and other factors ... Toby's possibly changing, to Kate's chagrin, but that drama appears slated for another episode). Kate says Madison needs her help, too — she won't choose Kevin over a friend again. In the present, Beth finds Stacey putting in extra practice, frustrated. But is it a series loose end tied up, or the beginning of a rekindled friendship, with other ramifications? Kevin's guilt-ridden, but too afraid to tell Sophie. Kate doesn't want to keep the secret, as Sophie is one of her best friends — the Louise to her Thelma. But Kevin plays the brother card. Standing on a beach in Jamaica, she demands to again hear the story of how she danced before she could walk. Meanwhile, in that same era, Kevin confesses about a life-changing mistake, and related drama parallels with present-day drama. After an Olympic-sized hiatus, This is Us returned tonight for the sixth episode in its final season.

While there have been hints that it could be Madison ( Caitlin Thompson), Kate’s exchange with Sophie is pulling a long-absent player back into the mix. Let us know in the comments section, below, and stay tuned for more Pearson drama as the final season continues on NBC. In the latest installment, “Our Little Island Girl: Part Two,” a surprise text exchange between Kate ( Chrissy Metz) and Sophie ( Alexandra Breckenridge) has us questioning what the latter’s role might be moving forward.

The new 'This Is Us' Season 6 Episode 7 promo trailer previews what happens next for Rebecca, Miguel, Toby, Kate, and Janet on Thanksgiving.

Clearly, there are a lot of dramatic stories to tell when This Is Us Season 6 Episode 7, “Taboo,” airs on NBC. But it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for the show to return. The new This Is Us Season 6 trailer briefly jumps to the timeline where Rebecca starts dating Matt (Matt Corboy). And as promised in episode 6, the Pearsons sit down for dinner with Matt as well as Miguel and his girlfriend, Marguerite. Then in another shot, Miguel seems to tell Rebecca something, and she looks devastated. Rather, episode 7 of This Is Us Season 6 will be released on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. The This Is Us Season 6 Episode 7 preview teased three emotional Thanksgiving dinners for Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and the rest of the Pearson family – here’s our breakdown of the promo trailer for “Taboo.” This Is Us Season 6 is in full force, and fans are in for a few dramatic feasts in the next new episode. As the This Is Us trailer continues, Rebecca tells the Big Three that she wants to have a “family talk” after Thanksgiving dinner.

Beth Pearson's individual storyline concluded in 'This Is Us' Season 6 Episode 6 as she realized her true purpose in life as a dance teacher.

Randall and Deja are slowly approaching a war over her relationship with Malik, and it’s only a matter of time before the tension boils over. Being the strong and amazing woman she is, Beth ran to her side and encouraged her to get back up and try again. And Watson revealed that “Our Little Island Girl: Part Two” was essentially Beth’s swan song. It’s time for This Is Us fans to say goodbye to Beth Pearson, and the final season is nowhere near its end. In the sixth episode of the final season, “Our Little Island Girl: Part Two,” Beth put on her first big dance recital. The episode primarily focused on Beth’s relationship with Stacey, one of the scholarship students.

This Is Us returns after the Olympic break with a Season 6 episode where Beth's career and Thanksgiving preparations take center stage.

But at the taping Madison tells Kevin that she doesn't want to go to the cabin for Thanksgiving; she'd rather stay in L.A. with Eli and the twins. Randall tells her to trust her gut and her instincts. This Is Us then returns to the flashback period, in which Kate and Kevin acknowledge that she is struggling with her weight and that Kevin's been drinking a lot. Afterward Beth calls her old dance studio and finds the courage to confront Vincent about how he abandoned her in her time of need. Sophie later confronts Kevin about his behavior, and Kevin admits to cheating on her with a girl from his acting class. In the current timeline, Kevin is making brunch for Madison, Eli, and Kate -- which is his effort to be supportive of Madison dating again. After this hard talk with his sister, Kevin tells Madison to spend Thanksgiving how she wants to. Vincent seems genuinely happy to see her and invites her to drop by the studio. The episode is a follow-up to a previous Beth-centric installment, "Our Little Island Girl," from way back in Season 3. Then Miguel reveals he's bringing a date to Thanksgiving as well -- and this time it's Rebecca who seems jealous. The episode also ties in a flashback about a past Thanksgiving, when Rebecca came back from a date with Matt to find Kevin, his then-wife Sophie, Kate and Miguel already at home. After taking a two-week break away from screens in favor of the Olympics, This Is Us returned with Season 6, Episode 6, "Our Little Island Girl: Part 2."

Some shows make hitting the same holiday every year a staple. Think The Simpsons' yearly “Treehouses of Horror” on Halloween or all the seasons of Friends ...

But the synopsis highlights the most worrisome moment in the teaser: “Rebecca has a big announcement to make at Thanksgiving dinner.” For This Is Us, that holiday is Thanksgiving, and even though the final season is airing in the springtime, the Pearsons couldn’t possibly skip their final Turkey Day. The This Is Us Season 6, Episode 7 promo promises the final Thanksgiving with the Pearsons will not be a quiet one. Thanksgiving is such a big deal for the Pearsons that the run-up for this final holiday installment spilled over into the episode before the Thanksgiving ep: Episode 6, “Our Little Island Girl, Part 2.” Two out of three storylines focused on the big day ahead.
