This Is Us Season 5 Finale Explained
So what went down here? Why did Madison called the wedding off, and did any of Toby and Kate quit the job to reconnect? So here is how it goes. So let’s start with the main plot of the episode, which is Madison and Kevin’s wedding. The reason Madison called off the wedding is that she felt like Kevin doesn’t love her. They are marrying for the wrong reasons after all. The flashbacks were evident for her to realize when she remembered how her parents split and how the boy at prom left her for someone else. Then moving on, when Madison went to wear her mother’s earrings, she reminded herself of another time a man left her. Resulting in an eating disorder of hers. This leads her to confront Kevin, who believes they can still manage to stay together but doesn’t express love for Madison. Thus resulting in her calling off the wedding once and for all. Randall, Rebecca, and Kate comfort Kevin and give him a purpose with Jack’s house. Coming to Toby and Kate. So here is how it goes. Kate tried to quit her job as she gets on with Toby away from family. But it doesn’t work out when her boss tells her she is good at what she does and thus rejects the request. Toby on the other hand, later believes he can’t stay away from the family but Kate insists they will try long distance because she doesn’t remember his vows. But only remembers being excited to get married. The big twist comes in the form of a flash-forward in the end. We get to know the beginning of the episode saw Kevin working on a speech for someone else’s wedding. He approaches the bridal suite seeing Madison and Beth there. Plus, Kate in wedding dress until Kevin is kicked out to meet his new brother-in-law. None other than Philip. Probably, the long-distance Toby and Kate promised each other didn’t work, leading to a divorce which is disappointing but the sad truth. Furthermore, we may see Kevin leading a new life as well. Since Madison and he are on good terms as friends. He may circle back to his first love Sophie which has been hinted as they are still in love with each other.
