And that’s BEFORE Randall and Kevin make up.

You don’t know his name, but Nasir and his team are responsible for keeping us connected today.

CABIN FEVER | At the cabin, Rebecca and Miguel eagerly await any word from Madison and/or Kate, both of whom are at hospitals and awaiting births.

But by being stuck in the cabin while three of her grandchildren are born, Rebecca tells Miguel, she feels like she’s letting Jack down.

DADDY’S HERE | Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Madison has been on FaceTime with Randall and Beth for hours.

The Pearsons are not going to stop overnight on their drive back to Philadelphia, so they’re happy to talk her through contractions and distract her from her epidural with embarrassing stories of drunk, nude Kevin and his love for the band Hanson.

“I wanna hit you, but I also wanna kiss you,” Madison tells her fiancé as Beth and Randall hang up.

We don’t really find out how he got there despite not having his ID — it’s implied that the airport’s head of TSA did him a favor — but Kevin wants Mads to know this: “Before I left, you asked me how this family was going to fit into my life… This family is my life,” he says, adding that he quit the movie.

But she uses the time to make sure that the entire nursing staff knows that after the baby is born, Kate should be the first person to hold her.

Due to COVID-19 regulations, Toby is tailgating in the parking lot and getting updates via phone from Kate, who’s in the birthing room with the surrogate mom.

And when the old man says his wife’s name is Rose, I write in my notes, “18-minute mark THE NAME IS GOING TO BE ROSE, ISN’T IT?” Having softened considerably, when the man learns Ellie is pushing, he wipes down one of the pigs with an antibacterial wipe and tosses it to Toby to share a little of the luck.

All of the babies — twins Nicholas and Fran for Kevin and Madison, Hailey Rose for Toby and Kate — are fine.

But when Ellie’s child is out, the nurse goes to hand the baby to Kate, and Ellie stops her.

But all a tearful Ellie wants to do is tell the girl that “Giving you to Toby and Kate is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it may just be the best thing I’ll ever do.” And then the nurse brings the baby to Kate, who video-calls Toby?

They meet Rebecca and Miguel.

(By the way, Franny is named after Madison’s grandmother.) And finally, Kevin and Randall have a moment to acknowledge everything that’s gone down between them in the previous months!

They admit they said terrible things to each other, and “we’ve got a lot of ground to cover” regarding what Kevin didn’t know about Randall’s experience of growing up in the Pearson house.

But Kevin tells his brother, “You’re the best person I know,” and then Randall graciously says they can talk about the tougher stuff on a day when one of them didn’t bring new life into the world.

She video-calls her husband and tells him she’s going to get out of the hospital soon
