This Is Us Recap Season 6 Episode 10

A Train, a Tub, and a Whole Lotta Feelings: This Is Us, Episode 10!

Okay, Pearson family fans, let's unpack that emotional rollercoaster that was *This Is Us* Season 6, Episode 10, titled "Every Version of You." Prepare for some heart-tugging and maybe even a little head-scratching!

The episode centers around Kevin, reeling from his recent romantic near-misses. Our boy is feeling a bit lost, which means only one thing: a road trip with his *Uncle Nicky*!

The Bro Trip From Hell (Or Heaven?)

Nicky, ever the voice of, uh, unconventional wisdom, decides Kevin needs to reconnect with Jack. So they hit the road to… Ohio? For a fishing trip? It’s a little weird, even for *This Is Us*.

Things get wonderfully awkward when Kevin tries to manufacture a bonding moment. He attempts to recreate a fishing trip from his childhood, only to realize that memories aren't always as rosy as we paint them.

The humor in this segment is surprisingly sharp. *Nicky's* deadpan delivery of sarcastic observations is gold. He’s the grumpy uncle we all secretly adore.

"You think your father was perfect? Please. The guy once tried to build a deck with nothing but a butter knife and sheer willpower."

Randall's Got a Case of the "What Ifs"

Meanwhile, *Randall* is wrestling with some big existential questions about Deja. Her acceptance into a college near home has him simultaneously relieved and… disappointed?

He's projecting his own anxieties about missed opportunities onto his daughter. He's worried she’s playing it safe, something *Randall* has seemingly never done.

Beth, as always, is the voice of reason. She gently reminds him that Deja is her own person, and that his job is to support her, not dictate her path. Preach, Beth, preach!

Kate's Making Waves (Literally!)

Across the country, *Kate* is navigating the choppy waters of her marriage to Philip. They're on a babymoon (yes, those still exist!) in… wait for it… London!

The tension between them is palpable. Philip's sarcasm is dialed up to eleven. Kate is trying desperately to smooth things over.

But then, the big reveal: Philip drops the bomb that he’s quitting his job to be more present for the baby. It’s a huge gesture, and *Kate* is understandably floored. Is this a step forward, or will it create more problems down the road?

The Tub and the Truth

The episode culminates in a surprisingly tender scene between *Kevin* and *Nicky* in a motel bathtub (yes, you read that right). Nicky finally opens up about his own regrets and encourages Kevin to stop chasing an idealized version of his father.

It's a powerful moment of vulnerability and genuine connection. *Kevin* needed to hear that he’s allowed to be his own person, flaws and all.

This episode felt like a reset. It's setting the stage for the final act of the series. It's reminding us that family is messy, life is complicated, and sometimes, all you need is a good soak in a motel bathtub with your grumpy uncle. And that’s okay.

Final Thoughts

What did you think of "Every Version of You?" Was the *Kevin/Nicky* road trip a hit or a miss? Is *Randall* being too overprotective? And will *Kate* and *Philip* survive this latest curveball? Let us know in the comments!
