Want to learn more about whats in store for The Pearsons in the seventh episode of the NBC dramedy?
Brotherly love was in short supply in the Pearson household.
Youll see that it started very, very early, says Hartley.
Its a very alpha male thing.
Adds Brown: I think more than cries, there will just be like,damn.
I feel like many times people will say: Damn!
Thats an impressive feat in and of itself.
Jack and Rebecca actually achieved something by the fact that their two sons are alive.
Kevin will have a go at bridge the gap with Randall.
Or… for things to get more awkward.
They find themselves in the same home again and maybe a little more mature, says Hartley.
Were finally getting to that place.
Adds Hartley: And it doesnt mean its all resolved.
Like a washing machine, Jack and Rebecca are going through the motions.
Adds Ventimiglia: Things at home are not good.
Its not that theyrebad, theyre just…. not what they used to be.
I think were getting to a crossroads.
Moore drops one more hint: Rebeccas really lonely.
Theres nothing worse than being lonely in a relationship.
Youll see a different Jack (and not just because of the goatee).
You have to step up to that next level job in work, says Ventimiglia.

Jacks also looking for his own identity… Jack is fighting for a little bit of himself.
Rebecca is getting in tune with her past dreams.
Tobys loss is Kates pain.
And theres some tension built that you cant really control.
Its frustrating and its not necessarily about Toby; its about Kate not achieving what she wants.
Toby never wanted to lose weight, and now hes doing it very quickly, so its hard.
Im still obviously proud of him, but its heartbreaking when youre trying your darndest and still nothings happening.
Hints Sullivan ominously: Welcome to the dark side.
William and Beth break down some boundaries.
So now hes bonded closely with everyone in the family.
Quips Jones: Lets just say that they bond on a higher plane.
Executive producer Ken Olin drops more hints about Beths conversation with Williamright here.
