After an intense and emotional episode, "This Is Us" returns with season 3 episode 16, titled "Don't Take My Sunshine Away." This episode picks up after the events of the previous episodes focusing on Kate's (Chrissy Metz) health and the aftermath of the huge fight between Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown).
Randall, still reeling from the argument and the revelations about Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and his birth mother, takes a step back from his family and starts to focus more on his political campaign, which has been a significant source of stress for him. He works tirelessly, hoping to get the appointment he's been waiting for, while ignoring the messages from Kevin and Kate.
Meanwhile, Kate is fighting for her life, and Toby (Chris Sullivan) has been by her side the entire time, never leaving her alone. The episode focuses on the couple's relationship and the support they give each other in the toughest moments.
As Kate struggles to come to terms with her diagnosis and the possibility of losing her baby, Toby tries to keep her spirits up and reassure her that everything will be okay. The episode also delves into Toby's struggles with his own mental health and how his past experiences are affecting his ability to cope with the present.
At the same time, Kevin is dealing with his own challenges and regretting the words he said to Randall in the previous episode. He attempts to reconnect with his brother by reaching out to him, but Randall is hesitant to respond.
This episode deals with a lot of heavy themes, from family relationships to health issues, mental health, and the pressures of a political career. It is an emotional episode that will tug at the heartstrings of the audience and leave them in tears.
Overall, "Don't Take My Sunshine Away" is a standout episode in the third season of "This Is Us." With outstanding performances from the entire cast and a powerful storyline that explores the complexities of family dynamics, it is an episode that will stay with viewers long after it's over.
