"This Is Us" fans knew heading into Tuesday's new episode that it would be a tough one, and the show certainly delivered on that promise.
The NBC drama's latest installment featured Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) grieving their miscarriage in different ways, with Kate less willing to confront the pain of the situation. Ultimately, after a teary conversation with Rebecca (Mandy Moore), Kate reconnected with Toby, and the pair agreed to soon try again to conceive.
Sullivan told TheWrap that it was "important" for the show to tackle the aftermath of a miscarriage and how a couple can struggle to move forward after such trauma.
As far next week's fall finale, Sullivan hinted that there may be another clue dropped about Jack's (Milo Ventimiglia) death. And he also teased an open-ended conclusion to the episode that may keep viewers scratching their heads heading into the show's winter hiatus.
"We wouldn't leave you on a holiday break without a cliffhanger," Sullivan vowed.
"This Is Us" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC. Sullivan joins co-hosts Rhett & Link on YouTube's "Good Mythical Morning" on Dec. 5.
