I say possibly because Im not totally convinced Sophie is in the endgame here.
Oh how I hope the series finale ofThis Is Usgives us some kind of Shyamalan-esque twist.
Sure, its possible Kevin and Sophie are really over.
No offense to Madison, but is she the ending everyone wants?
Remember: Shyamalan, Shyamalan, Shyamalan.
Good day to you.
Wait, Im back.
Their scenes are quiet and wistful and heartbreaking.
I want more of them.
she asks him to get her out of there instead.
Kevin understands the loss of a parent (have you heard?
His dad died), and he knew and loved Claire.
And that will happen for Sophie, too.
I gotta tell you, therapy has done wonders for this guy.
Then they decide the time has come: Theyre going to watch the end ofGood Will Huntingtogether.
That was better than I couldve imagined, says Sophie.

Kevin gets Kate on the line only to learn that shes also having a rough go of it.
Shes two seconds away from [her] marriage imploding.
Cool, cool, cool.
Cant wait to get to the Cabin of Sadness.
Off to the cabin they go!
Wait, I love that they just now have realized theyre the Sad Three.
Very late to this party, Pearson kids.
Could you imagine how different this episode would have been if Kevin and Sophie had decided to seeTitanic?
