Randall comes to terms with what he should have been in life, Kevin comes to terms with his feelings over his dad, and Kate comes face to face with a teenage girl who shares a lot of characteristics with her. The follow the path that makes you happiest (but practice to be better) storyline with Randall was heartfelt perfection, from Jack imprinting his own feelings on his son's decision (but also in encouraging it to be the kid's decision in the end) to Randall wondering if maybe he has more of William in him than he really thought. The "Look away kid, look away" line was fantastic and Sterling K. Brown is continuing to be the star of this year. Also love the ending with him.
Kevin having to go to a stranger's memorial service to experience loss and grief (and reconnect with the feelings he felt during his dad's death) is good trickery on the part of Olivia (his co-star). If there is a relationship there, we'll have to see. There are depths to Kevin's talents that he seems to be waiting for someone to pay attention to and help grow, so maybe she is it.
And Kate's storyline of getting a new job as personal assistant and fat mentor to the very depressed teenage daughter of her employer seems like a work in progress. It gets one thing right so far. You can't expect a thin person to understand what you're going through as a fat person so Kate is really getting a chance to do what her mom, and her employer can't, and that's meet a younger person on their level. Expect life lessons.
Still a great show.
