Kevin asked Kate at Thanksgiving to move back to New York since they were all there and she'd broken up with Toby. I just kind of assumed she stayed.

This is a show that you need to watch fully and focus on or you will miss a lot of subtle details.

I really liked this episode but it didn't make me cry like most of the others have. I was shocked by the ending with Toby! I didn't see William's story twist coming either, not because it would seem out of character for him to be gay, but because it does seem out of character for him to leave his partner like that. He even took the bus back to visit his cat for crying out loud. But, I think we will probably learn more about why this happened.

I also think Olivia will be back and there might be a love triangle forming there with she and Kevin and Sloane.

Looking forward to the new shows after the break!

I thought when William and his partner were talking at the meeting, the partner went back to using again and just recently stopped again but
maybe I just was thinking that happened but not really was said. Did we ever see William go back and feed his cats or was this what he just told Randall? If we never saw him feed the cats, maybe he was visiting his partner or going to meetings?

I was in the not liking Toby camp but he redeemed himself somewhat by
sitting in a middle plane seat to go see Kate but how many times did he have to say it for her to be grateful. I felt he said it way too many times
but he just gets on my nerves LOL

I think he started using again after William left because of a broken heart. I've got to re-watch this episode!

You brought up a good question! I think that it was just an excuse to go do something else because when Randall went to Williams place to get the tapes we didn't see a cat at all.

No, but Jessie mentioned going to Williams place/neighbor to visit the cat.

 

[Lovin' Disney]

Hmm, I didn't catch that. William left the cat behind, went back to visit the cat, there was no cat when Randall was there, Jesse visited the cat at a neighbor's house.

But my main thought after this episode was done was...What if Toby dies, but Kate is now pregnant and can't have the gastric bypass????

 

[DawnM]

ARGH! I have been missing CA so much recently. The school where Randall goes to when he goes to the gifted school is a school I used to work in. It made me so homesick. I loved working there.

It is not actually a gifted private school. It is a middle school in LAUSD.

I had that thought too!

I want Toby to live so badly, but I also thought about maybe him dying and Kate being pregnant because they made a big deal about "going upstairs."

That thought never even occurred to me but I could see them doing that with the story line.

 

[3Gsandme]

I could maybe buy him running. But they didn't show him even thinking about Jessie since he left. I think he might run, but would be thinking about him, much like he was thinking about the baby he gave up. I think the whole thing was poorly set up and looked like it just got plopped in there.

They haven't shown us much dimension on William at all, really. He may have been thinking about Jessie, but it's never occurred for anyone to ask him about relationships. It's not where they are.

And I love Denis O'Hare

haven't caught up on the last episode, but I'll watch ANYTHING with Denis O'Hare!

Me too! He is amazing and I was so happy to see him!

The question before the bingeing question had to do with whether she ever took anti-depressants. And then Rebecca spoke for her with 'no' like how would she know what her adult daughter takes anyway. Is that what you're thinking about?

I just remembered. It was when she asked if that was a real egg. It just seemed like such an odd question to ask in the middle of that discussion.

I thought that as well. She seems so different older, harsher I guess. Even how she acts towards the kids now. I'm not sure if it's an aging thing or something happened that changed her.

I've wondered about the cat! Early on, I thought maybe they'd have someone nearby adopt it, so William would get to see it without traveling so far every day.

 

[Dentam]

She does seem very different older - maybe due to the circumstances surrounding Jack's death, which we will have to wait to find out. I am dreading that episode.

I am generally someone who only watches very light things on TV such as sit coms and game shows, but after a bunch of different people told me how great this show was, I watched. I have to say, I'm not sure I have ever been so emotionally invested in a TV show!!

Lots of people have compared it to Parenthood. I might have to go back now and watch that series too.

I think it's better then Parenthood.

I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Parenthood was (yet anyway), so you should definitely go watch Parenthood. I LOVED that series.
