Meanwhile, in the present day, Miguel is helping another Pearson guy with his wedding.
Uncle Nicky hears about it and asks if Miguel is the guy thats banging my brothers wife.
Suddenly, Nicky wants to help out with the rehearsal dinner too.
This should be so fun!!
Its clear Miguel carries that guilt around every day and that Nicky is very much in the wrong here.
Mr. Malone makes an appearance at Rebeccas apartment while the guys are setting up.
He gives a condescending speech about how hell do his best to be civil and tolerate the marriage.
Miguel has exactly no time for this.
Mr. Malone disrespecting and shunning Jack says more about him than it does Jack.
This gets through to Mr. Malone.
In this situation, thats progress.
In the present, Nicky calls Miguel to apologize.
Miguel thinks thats because, deep down, Jack was saving the job for Nicky.
So, like, Miguel and Nicky should be best friends, right?
Jack would have wanted it that way, guys.
I dont make the rules!
Finally, he decides to call his brother.
Of course, Randall says yes, but thats not what Kevin was worried about.

Its why shes here now trying to make up for lost time.
She doesnt want Beth to make that mistake with Tess.

Its one of the best scenes of the season.
And what of Beth and Tess?
She worries that she and Beth will never really be close again.
you’ve got the option to see it break Beths heart in real time.
The first day away from your kids is hard, but come on, Kate.

When the moment arises, he decides not to get into it.
That will surely come up again.
