If that wasn't clear before, it certainly became obvious after this week's episode, in which we watched Kate (Chrissy Metz) go through a breakdown at fat camp while remembering emotional barriers in her life that prevented her from achieving various life goals.。

As Kate partakes in an emotionally charged workout at camp, her mind wanders down memory lane. In the first flashback, we see her sitting at a pool, reading a note from her friends saying "We don't want you to play with us anymore. You embarrass us."

Are your heartstrings getting pulled? It gets worse.。

The show then cuts to a flashback of Kate's 10th birthday party, where we see her goofing around with her dad, Jack. The two are so adorable, and Kate is so happy.。

But suddenly, the flashback jumps to Jack's other children in their teen years. They're wearing black and holding hands at Jack's funeral. Jack, the heart-of-gold patriarch of the family. The loving partner to Rebecca and father of triplets. Jack, who goes from being an emotionally unavailable drunk to the "perfect guy" (as our reviewer Diane Gordon described him).
。 Sadly, we won't find out how Jack died for quite some time.
。“There’s a before and after to this family,” Fogelman told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier this month. “Before Jack, and after. There’s a hinge in this family, and that will be really interesting to show where that hinge was.”
