He gave us some great moments between the characters and a glimpse at what the future might hold for the Big Three. That’s it, This Is Us fans! Dan Fogelman really considered what fans would want to see before the final chapter was closed on the Pearsons’ story. And once we got into the details of writing that scene four years ago - and once I saw that shot of Lonnie looking at Milo - I knew that would be the final shot of the series.
LITTLE MOMENTS SERIES
I always knew in my mind's eye that the final words of the series would be a simple, ‘I love you’ between two characters - probably Jack and Rebecca - and that the final shot would be some version of the kids or a kid looking at a parent who was looking at his or her family. The series’ final shot - young Randall looking at Jack as the Pearson patriarch looks on lovingly at his family - followed a similarly touching exchange between adult Randall and his own adopted child, Deja, who was carrying his first grandchild - a boy! That, as well as the final dialogue spoken, were planned years in advance, Dan Fogelman told EW: At the end of the video, the Paisleys inadvertently created a new one when Kimberly accidentally hits Brad in the head with her sunglasses.

The final episode also showed the Big Three’s children playing Foursquare, just as Randall, Kate and Kevin had done on that lazy Saturday afternoon, and Jack and Rebecca’s flashback conversation about how they were doing as parents was a nod to a similar conversation in Season 1, when Jack gifted Rebecca a moon necklace - the same one she was wearing when she reunited with Jack on “The Train.” That game continued to be played after Rebecca’s funeral, and Kate’s childhood strategy - “As long as I know where you are, I always know where I’m going.” - speaks volumes about the siblings’ relationship. The series finale showed Rebecca and Jack making an impulse buy of a Pin the Tail on the Donkey game because the kids on the box resembled their own family. We’ve seen it time and again over the course of the show’s six seasons, but those little moments - especially the unplanned ones or the mundane - end up being the strongest memories that get passed down.

Let’s take a look at where the series finale left the Big Three, and those wonderful little moments from the episode “Us.” There was something seriously wrong with her life. As Rebecca gave birth to triplets, 36-year-old Kevin, Randall and Kate’s stories each played out simultaneously, and it wasn’t until the end of This Is Us’ pilot that we realized they were actually the children born to Rebecca and Jack in 1980, setting us up for six seasons of traveling back and forth in time to stitch together the Pearson family saga. The NBC drama had audiences hooked back in 2016 when it pulled its first timeline misdirect in the series premiere. As the Big Three honored their mother at her funeral, fans got a hint of what the future held for the Pearson family and how the seemingly insignificant moments can become the most enduring. That mirroring of the husband and wife’s afterlife reunion was the first of many beautiful moments we got from This Is Us’ ending.
