Bridesmaid Dress Kate is Wearing in This is Us
- NBC aired the season 4 fall finale of This Is Us on Tuesday night.
- The ninth episode of the current season showed Toby and Kate struggling in their marriage.
- One particular detail revealed in the last few minutes of the episode hinted that the two may be in major trouble in the near future.
- This Is Us season 4 is set to return with new episodes starting January 14.
Just when you thought This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman couldn't make our hearts ache any more than they already do, he pulled a major move last night in the season 4 fall finale.
True to This Is Us fashion, most of the hard-hitting drama happened in the last few minutes of Tuesday night's new episode. A flash-forward scene depicting nine months into the future showed Rebecca's memory declining to the point where she forgot her phone and had to have the police escort her to the Pearson family's cabin, the site of Kevin and Kate's 40th birthday party. It's then that we learn a few things:
- Kevin is engaged and has a pregnant fiancé
- Kevin and Randall aren't speaking to each other for an unknown reason
- Something is definitely up between Kate and Toby
How do we know there are problems brewing between Kate and Toby? Previous season 4 episodes have shown the two drifting apart in the present day, as Toby continues to pursue Crossfit while Kate feels overwhelmed with being a new mom to baby Jack. But last night in particular, the writers dropped a bombshell on viewers when Kate went to pick up Toby's phone to take a picture of their son. Kate saw texts on Toby's phone from his Crossfit group where he wrote, "Trying to get past it, but it's hard." Rubbing salt into an open wound, a woman Toby labeled in his phone as "LadyKryptonite" replied, "Don't let her bring you down. Here for you."
While that exchange was hard to miss, there was an equally important detail that could've easily gone unnoticed if you blinked. In the flash-forward scene, Kate used her maiden name when filling out police release papers after cops brought Rebecca back to the cabin. Some believe this is the writers' way of hinting that Kate and Toby may be getting a divorce ... soon.

Of course, the writers could just be throwing us all off on purpose – after all, it's not abundantly clear in the first place that Kate took Toby's name after getting married in season 2. With that being said, it's important to point out that Kate's Fandom page does list her official name as "Kate Pearson-Damon," so take that for what it's worth. Plus, the season 3 premiere showed Toby lying in a bed by himself with no wedding ring on.
What does executive producer Isaac Aptaker have to say about all of this madness? Not much, other than answers will be coming immediately when the second half of season 4 kicks off on January 14.

"We're going to right away deal with the aftermath of Kate discovering LadyKryptonite and trying to figure out what the h--l that's all about and who this woman is," he told Entertainment Weekly.
Way back in March, Chrissy Metz warned GoodHousekeeping.com that things were going to get tough for Kate and Toby in season 4.
"We've seen a lot at the surface with stuff, and things start to get a little more serious and they realize that it's not all fun and games," Chrissy said at the time. "We can't protect ourselves with humor and sarcasm. We have to really get to the bones of what's going on with them as individuals and then, of course, as a couple."
Guess we didn't realize things would get this real. We just really, really hope the fans are wrong on this one — but so far, it's not looking great for Toby and Kate.
