Season 3 Episode 11 – Songbird Road Pt. 1
Leona and Chele chat about the latest episode of This Is Us.
This was an amazing, yet heartbreaking episode. In this Nicky-centric episode we learn why Nicky was dead . . . to Jack.
The Big Three go on a road trip to meet their long-lost uncle. It’s obvious Nicky has lived a sad, lonely life. During their visit they learn about the incident that ended Nicky and Jack’s relationship; and Nicky learns that his only brother died more than 20 years ago.
In Vietnam, we learn Nicky accidentally killed Lanh, the little boy in the village. Over the years, since leaving Vietnam, Nicky had been reaching out to Jack. When Jack finally visits him, he hopes to explain what happened, but Jack doesn’t let him. In the scenes from the 90s, we see a different side of Jack; a side that is unable to forgive or allow his brother closure. Meanwhile, Rebecca is having a difficult time processing the fact that Jack lied to her about Nicky. She’s wondering if she should have pushed him to open-up about his past and his time in Vietnam.
