I have an unwavering soft spot for Nicky Pearson.
He is damaged and he is grumpy and he has lost so, so much.
And yet, even after decades of giving up, here he is trying!
Here he is opening himself up to family and love!
For me, that means it was hard not to love this episode.
Unfortunately, it does not go exactly the way Nicky may have imagined.
In real life, doesnt that prospect sound super-creepy and not at all something you should do?
At least send a DM first, okay?
But Nicky, dear, sweet Nicky, has not sent Sally a DM.
He has done basically zero research on what Sally is up to these days.
She could be dead for all Nicky knows, he tells his buddies.
Anyway, Sally is not dead.
But it becomes clear that there will be no epic romantic rekindling here.
Nicky can finally close that chapter of his life and really move forward.
And now the man can live!
She lovingly embraces both Old Randall and Adult Deja before kissing Nicky hello.
They seem still very much in love.
Nicky gets a big win, guys!
What a time, what a world.
Wowee, Mandy Moore and Jon Huertas are great in this episode.
It sounds exhausting and depressing and also I cant wait.
We know what show we signed up for, people!!
In the season premiere, we learned that Rebeccas Alzheimers is getting worse.
But it is alsoaboutthe fact that everyone on this show needs more friends!
And talk about liver spots?
Rebecca decides that she and Miguel are taking up salsa dancing again.
This is what having friends does for you; all the other Pearsons should take note.
This, it seems, is also what having a Miguel does for you.
But Miguel doesnt see any of it that way.
This man loves this woman so much!
He promised to love her in sickness and in health, and he intends to make good on that.
Theyre in it together.
The clock is ticking!
This is only going to end in heartbreak, isnt it?
Randall and his dad jokes, even in text form, kill me.
Hes just so proud of himself.
Or Nicky telling Miguel and Rebecca that Jack would be so happy seeing that they found each other?
Wait, I love how Nicky has become Miguels No.
Everyone is aboard the Miguel Love Fest in season six, and we are all the better for it.
We know Adult Baby Jack is on the way with at least one other person.
We know Kevin is married, but her identity remains a mystery (Cassidy, right?).
Are we going to get a Miguel death episode before this thing is out?
Again, I tell you: I am unprepared!!!
Okay, Im gonna leave before I throw up.
