"This Is Us" had every viewer wanting more after the Pilot episode. This NBC series is about to give "Parenthood" a run for its money. The first three weeks have already generated some thought for potential theories. Here are some predictions on what will happen in the coming episodes.
1. Kevin hits rock bottom.
Kevin's big move to New York after his blowup at the studio has optimism in the air, but nothing comes that simple. Kevin is going to struggle greatly and even turn to Randall for financial assistance.
2. Kate and Toby have a blow-up breakup
Kate and Kevin are connected, as we have seen. When Kevin starts feeling down and out, Kate also feels this way. Toby already showed how he feels when Kate chooses her family over him early on in their relationship. Kate is going to become overwhelmed with that pressure, and the emotions she';s feeling from her brother, and end things.
3. Kevin contemplates moving back to Kate because no. 2
Kevin wants to move back to help comfort his twin. However, he becomes very close to Randall and strives to improve his track record with his brother.
4. Kate moves to NYC to be with her brothers
Kate realizes there is nothing holding her out West, so she decides to join her family in the Big Apple. BIG THREE.
5. Randall calls William “dad”
William is going to be inches from death, and Randall is going to call him dad in his final goodbye.
6. William dies
This is inevitable as his stomach cancer is inoperable.
7. Rebecca tells Miguel her secret about William
Rebecca opens up to Miguel about knowing William's whereabouts all this time.
8. Jack dies at the hands of Miguel
Jack's absence is still a mystery. Divorce? Unlikely because Rebecca is still wearing the necklace. Accident? Yes. A car accident where Miguel is driving. Randall was not particularly welcoming to Miguel when he was standing in the kitchen "unannounced". My guess is he blames Miguel for the death of his father.
