"I think they would burn my house down. I've experienced with a lot of friends, when you've lost a parent, particularly for whatever reason a parent of the same sex —a guy losing his father or a girl losing her mother early — there can be a slight mortality clock that kicks in a bit earlier than it does on other people, especially since it was formative. And I think that's something Randall and Kevin feel," he further explained regarding the scene.

Fogelman shares a different perspective of the scene. "Watching that scene between Randall and Kevin, the hairs on my arms go up more for Kevin, how assuredly he talks to Randall about how you're never gonna die but doesn't say anything about himself," he says. "We're not [hinting at] anybody's death, but it's always interesting the way that people view their own mortality."

Speaking of death, the Super Bowl episode scheduled for this Sunday is about to shatter several This Is Us fan as it will shed more light on Jack's death and how things changed.
