And let me tell you: Im so glad for a 4 episode.
As the montage continues, the two become closer and Williams handwriting becomes more erratic.
A few days later, Rebecca and Jack are ready to leave the hospital with their three babies.
This is the scariest part, Dr. Katowsky tells them.
Some people think the scariest part is coming to the hospital to have a baby.
Nah, the scariest part is leaving the hospital with the baby.
Babies, Rebecca corrects him, before Jack excitedly reveals the tots names to the doctor.
Theyre Kevin, Kate, and Kyle.
(All Ks as an homage to the fatherly physician.)
And, yep, not a Randall to be found.
The plot thickens when Present Rebecca delivers this reminder to William: We had a deal.
I wont tell him if thats what youre thinking, he replies.
It will break him, she says.
Knowing that he could have known you and I kept him from that.
(One staffer in the EW office has already dubbed him a Manic Pixie Dream Dude.)
Luckily I have all this fat to soften the blow, he muses.
Apparently she used to sing all the time (Cyndi Lauper was her favorite).
But as she grew up, she worked to avoid the spotlight.
Give me just one day, one day where youre the star, he says.
But even with this preamble, his motivations are a bit unclear.
Is he trying to keep her from moving to New York with her brother?
Or just prove to her that she should be a professional singer?
He wants Kate to call that packing company Jason Momoa recommended.
(Dothrakis know a lot about hauling stuff.)
But Kate, smartly, doesnt answer and enjoys the moment with Toby instead.
Now he needs Kates help to get her out of his house.
Kate makes to leave as Toby, clearly stung, tries to stop her.
I like you, Kate.
I like you a lot, but I cant play second banana to your brother.
You have to, she replies.
And with that, shes off to rescue her brother from his closet hideout.
I dont really know who I am if Im not your sister, Kate says.
I do, Kevin replies.
Youre gonna love her.
And just like that, Kevin is off alone to New York.
Will his path now cross with brother Randall and mother Rebecca?
Meanwhile, Kate heads home where she invites Toby over to offer up an apology and a condom.
NEXT: Say My Name
Back in the past we get an explanation for Rebecca and Williams acquaintance.
the driver asks, beckoning her onto the bus.
Rebecca ends up tracking William down to his sparse apartment, wanting to know more about his background.
I need to know that I can move forward.
Rebecca agrees and asks who his favorite poet is.
He hands her a well-loved tome by Dudley Randall.
Jack says he feels the same way, to which Rebecca seems surprised.
She then tells him that Kyle needs his own name, and hands Jack the copy of Randall.
(Did they really not have a discussion about this?
And, in the meantime, he has a question for William:
How did you meet my mother?
