It’s all very sad and also marks the real end to their marriage. Although heartbreaking, those are more about Toby’s fear and less about him wanting to be in a marriage with Kate. They are so much better, in fact, that Toby brings up getting back together. This marriage is a rotting carcass! There is nothing to save.Īnd you know what? Once Toby moves out and they have their own space, both seem better. It takes Baby Jack throwing his Boba Fett toy in the toilet to get his parents to stop screaming at each other, but the damage is done and the writing’s on the wall, and Kate finally calls it. He says their marriage has been “a rigged game” because he isn’t exactly like Kate’s dad. And Kate is tired of having to watch Toby be miserable around their family, and Toby says he’s only miserable when she’s in the room, which, uh, yikes, and then he invokes the name of our lord and savior, Jack Pearson. Kate is criticizing Toby’s skills as a dad again, and he’s had it. It doesn’t take long for it to go to shit. At the suggestion of their therapist, Diane - who leaves much to be desired as far as therapists go - they sit down and have dinner, just the two of them. Every part of my body is screaming, “Now! End it now!” Kevin tells her that she’ll just know. Everyone is miserable! There’s a moving scene between Kate and Kevin in which Kevin finds his sister crying in her room, and she wonders how she’ll know when it’s time to end her marriage. They have the same fights over and over, and although Toby said he would take that L.A. As you might be able to surmise, couples therapy does not go well. It’s not even compromising, he’s just giving up everything he had wanted, so, yes, it is completely understandable that he is royally pissed off when Kate repeatedly shows up to therapy late and continues to criticize him. (I love that he still has to get in that dig about how big of a step down it’ll be), and he’ll go to couples therapy if that’s what Kate wants. It’s here, at a real rock-bottom moment for the Pearson-Damons, that Toby decides he will do “whatever it takes” to fix their family. Kate and Toby are exhausted physically and emotionally (which, same). We begin this story the morning after Baby Jack took his horrifying solo stroll to the park. We will go through those points mostly in chronological order to track the most important parts. The rest of the episode jumps around at different points in Kate and Toby’s relationship pre- and post-divorce.
Anyway, it seems to bring Kate some peace, and she says something about how “life would be much simpler if we could live it backwards,” which does not then signal the start of this story being told backwards, which would’ve been extremely cool. It is very cryptic and also something that seems like he could’ve told her the day before or the day after, you know? Texting is a thing. He somberly tells her that the thing she told him the day they signed their divorce papers - well, he can “see it now” and apologizes for taking so long. You’ve had time!! After the ladies wisely kick Kevin out of the room, Kate receives a call from Toby. “Katoby” kicks off at that flash-forward to Kate’s wedding to Philip in which Kevin wants to know if he can make a Princess Bride joke in his toast, which like, get some better material, dude. How many more times can we talk about how clear it is that these two people now make each other miserable? I guess one last time. But also, Katoby has been DOA since the start of the season and we’ve had several episodes now that have tracked this relationship’s demise, yet here we are, wringing out one last drop.
WATCH FAMILY GUY SEASON 15 EPISODE 12 FULL
It is full of moving, emotional scenes, both heartbreaking and hopeful. As the title would suggest, “Katoby” focuses on Kate and Toby’s marriage, specifically its end, while also giving us a glimpse into what awaits these two after their marriage.
Sometimes tired in a good way, sometimes tired in a bad way, and sometimes both! Like, take this 100th episode, for example. I don’t know about you folks, but I am tired. This is the 100th episode of This Is Us! Can you believe it? We’ve watched 100 episodes of this emotional torture (I say that with so much love!!) and have lived to tell the tale.
