‘This Is Us’ episode 14: On the Jack – Sophie meeting and what’s next
Tonight’s new episode of “This Is Us” is one that featured a wedding, a split, and at the same time a love triangle like no other with Duke, Kate, and Toby that still may be playing out further.
Moving forward, though, one of the larger questions that you should wonder is what the story is going to be when it comes to Sophie and Kevin. The two characters finally got a chance to move forward in their relationship after she made the decision to turn up; however, at the same time you get the sense that this is just the beginning of a journey more so than it is one that is going to be smooth sailing for the remainder of the season.
In speaking about this further to Entertainment Weekly, creator Dan Fogelman had the following message to pass along:
“I think they’ve got a lot of challenges, and there are long-term challenges, too, because trust has been broken, there’s history, and with broken history comes with a lot of baggage. Anybody who’s ever been in a relationship where a break has happened for any reason, the issues tend not to go away when you get back together six months later. So there’s inherent challenges in that for both of them. It’s all part of Kevin’s big picture journey in this first season. He’s making this very public attempt to be the best version of himself and it’s all manners of his life, whether be it with his career in acting, or his relationship with his brother, or his romantic life. He’s so well-intentioned and so bad at it sometimes that hopefully you’re rooting for him but you also have a little bit of a pit in your stomach because you just know that he tends to not do as well when he’s trying to do the right thing.”
The biggest thing we hope is that this is a story that the show revisits several times before the end of the season, and it’s one full of twists and turns. We do like the idea of the two of them together, but we still think that we’re only scratching the surface in terms of why the two split up.
