“We’ll talk at the town hall,” he says, getting up to leave.
He wants Randall to know that if condos go up in his neighborhood, rents will increase “and that’s going to hurt a lot of hard-working people.” But Randall is so preoccupied with his phone, which is pinging away with notifications from the movement sensors he’s installed at home, that he’s barely listening.
The thing is, though, that it does affect his work, starting that morning when Malik’s dad Darnell stops by to discuss the housing bill Randall is supporting.
But Randall is adamant that things continue as scheduled: “I’m not going to let this affect my work.” Jae-won knows something is up with his boss and suggests delaying a potentially contentious town hall meeting with constituents. TOWN HALL HELL | Even after Beth and the girls return, Randall’s sleeplessness doesn’t go away. Randall tells him about the break-in but starts to pull back when Kevin asks a bunch of follow-up questions that force Randall to lie about where he was coming home from the night of the crime. The former Manny is in Pittsburgh for a funeral: Apparently, that call from Sophie in the previous episode was to tell him that her mom died. (But it’s still kinda funny.)Īs Randall prowls the house a little after 2 that morning, he winds up watching The Great British Baking Show and talking to Kevin. She wants him to come with them, but he reels off a laundry list of things he has to do around the house and then makes jokes about defending their place with Tess’ T-ball bat and “these guns.” It would be a lot funnier if we didn’t know he’s actually crumbling inside. The cops also add that home invaders often come back the next night - fun! - so Randall sends Beth and the girls to a hotel.

(Important to note: Earlier in the episode, we’d seen Kate and Marc having a pretty intense fight over the phone.)Īfter the police have checked out the home and nothing seems to be missing, they advise Randall to install a security system. Rebecca has cancelled the birthday dinner she’d planned because “something’s wrong with Kate,” and they’re on their way to pick him up. He agrees to attend an on-campus grief group with her, but that plan is dashed - and Randall’s emotional well-being suppressed for the good of the family once more - when Kevin calls. She can understand: She had bad dreams after her father passed away, but talking to a therapist helped her feel better. “I just feel so helpless, like I have no control over anything,” he admits. Beth, who is now spending some of her nights in his room, gently prods him to talk. Randall’s sleep problems have a resurgence in college, where he is plagued by nightmares about Rebecca in trouble and Jack still alive. (I mean, he doesn’t say it like that, but you get the gist.) Randall, who even at this early age plays by the rules and does what he’s asked, toddles back to bed and stares, terrified, at the ceiling. But when Randall reappears in the living room a while later, Jack levels with him: “I need you to be brave,” he says, explaining that Kevin and Kate are more high-maintenance, and he needs at least one of his kids to be easy. Papa Pearson dutifully walks his son back to his room and lies on the floor next to his bed for a while. So that means Jack is left to handle things when a scared Randall can’t sleep. Rebecca, who has a cold, conks out shortly after the trio’s bedtime. ‘I NEED YOU TO BE BRAVE’ | This week’s flashbacks kick off on The Big Three’s first night in their big-kid beds.
