This Is Us recap: Widowed Rebecca tries dating, other Pearsons pursue love. After a detour last week into Jack&apos,s past for a spotlight on his mother Marilyn, tonight&apos,s episode of This is Us returns to the Big Three, as they continue navigating present-day challenges. Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) grounded Dé,jà, for her secret getaway to see Malik in Boston, but their eldest daughter isn&apos,t done just yet, as she and Malik drop a bomb during dinner. Kevin (Justin Hartley) continues his desperate quest for love and fulfillment, and Kate (Chrissy Metz) bonds with Rebecca (Mandy Moore), though she has a bomb of her own to drop. And of course, there&apos,s some time travel. This week, it&apos,s flashbacks focusing on Rebecca, in relation to both Kate and Miguel. Through these scenarios in episode 5, titled ",Heart and Soul,", there&apos,s fights, tough love, and tenderness. Let&apos,s feel those feels, shall we? Randall and Beth vs. Malik and Dé,jà, Randall and Beth are still reeling from Dé,jà,&apos,s Boston stunt. So, when Dé,jà, (Lyric Ross) says Malik (Asante Blackk) wants to cook them dinner while he&apos,s in town for the weekend, they expect that it will come with either an apology, or worse news —, like pregnancy or elopement.  , That night, Malik makes them an elaborate meal, and waits on them excessively. Beth and Randall try to be gracious, even praising Malik&apos,s cooking. But with Annie and Tess&apos,s odd behavior and the looks between the young couple, it&apos,s obvious something&apos,s up, so it doesn&apos,t take long for Beth to demand they come clean. Dé,jà, plans to graduate early and move in with Malik in Boston. At this, Beth and Randall furiously launch into objections, asserting she is too young. Dé,jà, reminds them, especially Randall, that her hard life means she&apos,s wiser than her years. Does she have a point? Perhaps, but her past is also why it feels like the Dé,jà, we know is too wise and appreciative to buck everything the Pearsons have given her, and everything she could pursue for herself. Randall storms off, infuriated. Later, Malik finds Randall on the front steps. They exchange kind words initially, but then Randall tells Malik that if he really loves Dé,jà,, he&apos,ll end things with her so she can find her own path —, moving in with him isn&apos,t what&apos,s best for her. Malik coldly rejects the suggestion. Afterward, when Randall and Beth discuss that conversation, Randall affirms his wish to take a hard stance, to keep Dé,jà, from throwing her life away. Beth, however, thinks if they handle it too harshly, they&apos,ll only lose Dé,jà,. Will stubborn Randall listen? To be determined. Kevin. Kevin seems to be doing better with co-parenting with Madison, but remains averse to the presence of Eli in Madison&apos,s life, making snide comments to Madison, and brushing Eli off directly. After dropping the twins off with Madison, Kevin is bound for Pennsylvania for the weekend to check on construction of the house he&apos,s building Rebecca by the cabin. He invites Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison) to join him, Nicky, and Nicky&apos,s new girlfriend (Edie!) at the property. To his surprise, Cassidy asks if it&apos,s a sex thing, prompting a bizarre conversation about being friends with benefits. Ultimately, Cassidy accepts his invitation, with benefits on the table. Upon hearing of Kevin&apos,s plans with Cassidy, Randall says, in a sports announcer voice, ",I did not see that one coming …, [Cassidy] coming down the home stretch, seemingly out of nowhere, beating out all the local favorites . ", It&apos,s a hilariously epic meta moment, and it continues with Randall listing all of Kevin&apos,s epic exes: Sophie, Madison, and Zoey. Kevin brushes off the jokes, and Randall&apos,s claim that he&apos,s a serial monogamist liable to propose to Cassidy soon. However, as Kevin observes Nicky and Edie in ",new love,", he indeed develops heart eyes for Cassidy. But when he makes a romantic move, she rejects him. She says their relationship would never work, and he&apos,s chasing the wrong blonde in the wrong city. When Kevin questions which other blonde he should be chasing, she says that&apos,s basically her point, he&apos,s a wrecking ball for women —, he married one woman, cheated on her, almost married her again, and couldn&apos,t say &apos,I love you&apos, to the most recent one, but insists on hating her new boyfriend. Cassidy can&apos,t be Kevin&apos,s next mess. Kevin seems to take it well enough in the moment …, but I wouldn&apos,t be surprised if it makes him even more desperate to break the pattern and find his forever woman. His first step, though, is to make amends with Eli. In a peace offering, he calls him to offer advice on dating Madison —, when he gets food for himself, order some for her, too, without asking, because she probably wants it but her eating disorder keeps her from saying so. With that gesture, it seems Madison, like Cassidy just before her (RIP my dream ship), is officially ruled out as Kevin&apos,s potential endgame. So, who, if anyone, will it be? It appears this mystery may be one of the last ones solved. [Side note: Nicky stresses to Kevin over his potential first time being intimate with Edie –, it&apos,s adorable]. Kate and Rebecca.
