So its not completely surprising we open with a series of washers that have defined Jack and Rebeccas relationship.
If you dont have a heart, things are hopeless.
Lets recap:
Kate and Toby

And then theres Toby, who dropped eight pounds wearing regular clothes.
Kate is supportive, but you could see the frustration.
We all collectively just held up our emotion wine and did a cheers, Kate.
We get it, girl.
She calls him out on the binge, but Toby insists hes done dieting.
As Toby gives in, it doesnt take long for Kate to follow suit.
Kevin and Randall
And speaking of cruel, lets catch up with Kevin and Randalls adolescence.
Kevin isnt having it, though he banishes Randall (and his milk and cookies) from the basement.
When youre the Manny, you know how to stop a business meeting.
Its not long before Kevins Manny persona pushes Randall out of the picture (literally, because selfies).
When Randall doesnt recognize his costar, Kevin asks him what his characters name was on the show.
Randall cant tell him, because theres not much talk of weather futures onThe Manny.
Kevin bails on dinner.
After a little piece of a brownie/pan (whos counting?
), Beth and William are higher than a Willie Nelson fan-club meeting.
They relocate outside to talk about what life would have been like had they taken different paths.
After some sentimental talk about life, William quotes a poem, and Beth recites along it with him.
He asks how she knows it, and she says its from a book they own.
Suddenly, Beth is the third wheel to Rebecca and Williams little secret.
Kevin attempts to head off to bed, but bed isnt the same place he left it.
But now that she has it, its too clear: The kidneys of the home arenothingwithout a heart.
