As expected, Jack Pearson’s family isn’t doing very well in the wake of his unexpected death. But in this week’s This Is Us, they get at least a moment or two of happiness.
In this exclusive clip from Tuesday’s episode (NBC, 9/8c), Rebecca and the kids are living in temporary housing, trying to carry on with their lives after a fire burned down their home and killed their patriarch. But the gloom that surrounds them lifts a little when Randall gets a big, white envelope from Howard University.
