This Is Us Season 5 Episode 8 Recap
In the episode titled ‘In the Room,’ the Pearsons are blessed with the next generation of the “Big Three.” Since Ellie and Madison go into labor at the same time, both Kate and Kevin have kids born on the same day. As Ellie wants a moment alone with the newborn baby, Kate is concerned that Ellie is having second thoughts about giving up her baby for adoption.
Meanwhile, an emotional conversation with a stranger leads Toby to the decision that he would like to give his daughter the middle name Rose, named after the man’s wife. When the nurse hands the baby over to Kate, she and Toby celebrate over a video call as Toby sees his daughter, Hailey Rose, for the first time. Elsewhere, we meet Madison as she prepares to give birth to the twins, but Kevin is not around. Randall and Beth keep her company and help her when she starts panicking.
Finally, Kevin makes it just in time to see Randall and Madison sharing a fun moment before her delivery. Kevin assures Madison that the family means everything to him and that he will not leave them again for work. They name their twins after Uncle Nicky and Madison’s grandma – Nicolas and Francis. This whole experience makes Kevin realize his fault, and he apologizes to Randall for everything he has said. Randall cuts him off and lets him know that this conversation can be saved for another time and that he should celebrate the birth of his kids.
While all of this happens, Rebecca is with Miguel at the cabin and is unhappy that she is missing out on the family’s important milestones. However, an old painting by her kids takes her back in time and reassures her that they will always be a family no matter where they are. Kevin and Kate video call to introduce their babies, and just like that, Rebecca knows that the promise to be together as a family still stands.
