The episode opens with the image of newsstands holding a tabloid magazine with a photo of the large engagement ring on Madisonâs finger. But pesky paparazzi aside, the publicity is opening all kinds of doors as one of Kevinâs reps informs the pair that their number one wedding venue is now available following the tabloid coverage. It seems like all decisions are being made at a breakneck pace, from outfits to Best Man.
But while Madisonâs decision to choose Kate (Chrissy Metz) as her Maid of Honor is easy, Kevinâs plan to ask Randall (Sterling K. Brown) to be his Best Man is more complicated considering their fragile bonding after a months-long rift.

The most compelling throughline in “Both Things Can Be True” takes up the least amount of screentime. In what feels like nothing I’ve seen on network TV before, Randall attends a group therapy session for transracial adoptees in which a diverse group of people speak openly and honestly about the uncomfortable truths of their lives. The way that multiple things can be true at once. That even though many of them love their adoptive families, they also carry a resentment at having grown up othered in their own homes and communities. It’s hard to let go of their “Ghost Kingdoms” the dreams of how their lives might have been if they’d grown up with their biological parents. One woman shares that she wishes she had never been adopted at all.
On Tuesday, NBC s
This Is Us showed two 13-year-old girls, played by 15-year-old actors, kissing on a bed as a mother walks in on them.
This Is Us has been pushing the “L” part of the LGBT agenda for a number of years now, with the prepubescent character Tess (Eris Baker) “coming out” privately to her family at age 10 and publicly in a drive-thru at age 11.
Now Tess is 13. In this week s episode, Both Things Can Be True, on April 6, she kissed a supposedly gender non-specific paramour named “Alex” (Presley Alexander). In reality, Alex is a girl who sort of looks like a boy, and requires everyone to use the pronoun “they.” (Presley Alexander came out on her YouTube channel as a non-binary lesbian when she was 11-years-old.)
