"This Is Us" follows the Pearson family across several decades.
Initially — and coyly — advertised as a show about people who share the same birthday, audiences learn the twist at the end of the pilot episode: Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) is celebrating his 36th birthday in 1980 when his wife, Rebecca (Mandy Moore), goes into labor with triplets.
However, Rebecca loses one of the triplets at birth, with Kate and Kevin surviving. At the same time, a Black newborn is brought to the hospital by a fireman after his biological father abandoned him. Believing they were meant to have three children, the Pearsons adopt the baby, who they name Randall.
Jump ahead to present day as the "Big Three" — Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) — are celebrating their 36th birthdays.
In the 17th episode of the sixth and final season, the Pearson family gathers as they prepare to say goodbye to matriarch Rebecca, as she is about to lose her battle with dementia.
Meanwhile, Rebecca envisions herself aboard a luxurious train, revisiting memorable figures from her past, led by Randall's father, William (Ron Cephas Jones).
"If you step back, you'll see that the end is not sad — it's just the start of the next, incredibly beautiful thing," William tells Rebecca, who is insistent on waiting for Kate to arrive to say her goodbye before entering the caboose.
At the end of the episode, Rebecca lies down on a bed next to her late husband, Jack, signifying her death in the real world.
