As the second half of this season progresses, the writers of this show have really allowed the two female leads to show off just how talented they are and how they completely understand their rather complicated characters. Prior to this episode, Mandy Moore has been brilliant and, in this one, Chrissy Metz is equally outstanding in her portrayal of a wife and mother who comes to the realization that her marriage is over. How she gets there is well-written and directed, and she plays it out with heartfelt emotion, determination, and strength that is very moving without being depressing.
This is "This Is Us" at its best. Credit must be given to Chris Sullivan (as Toby) and Chris Geere (as Philip) playing polar opposite characters whose fine acting provides Metz with the opportunity to really shine here.
A great episode for this series.
