They didn't have an perfect relationship, but as she admits to Kevin, they had their moments.March 09, 2018
Writer Vera Herbert pens a great sequence that both challenges what we know about the Pearsons and opens up a whole bunch of new storytelling avenues for the show. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode around it isn't quite as strong.March 12, 2018
Well, at least now we have confirmation on which son is Rebecca's favorite.March 09, 2018
