Full Summary[]

Young Kevin can’t sleep in his new bed because his sheep mobile is missing. Jack doesn’t know where Rebecca put it so they go looking for it. They can’t find it, so Jack wakes Rebecca up to ask her where it is. She says they donated it. Jack gives Kevin a pep talk about how it’s hard to love things you love, but you can move on eventually. He gives Kevin a stuffed tiger. After Kevin goes to bed, Kate gets up.

The night Jack died, Kevin goes to Sophie’s house and talks with Sophie’s mother Claire before they head out to the party in the woods. They stay at the party for a while before ditching it to watch Good Will Hunting and eat doughnuts. The projector breaks down partway through and they get free snacks to compensate. They leave the movie before it starts because Kevin says the movie was so good up to that point that the ending wouldn’t live up to it. They have fun making up alternate potential endings.

Kevin and Sophie come home fresh off of Kevin’s first professional acting gig. Kate has an unspecified conflict with Marc. Rebecca apologizes because she thought he was cut and didn’t watch his scene. They visit Claire, who is much more excited about the role than Rebecca was. She pays for a trip for her and Sophie to see the Northern Lights, which angers Sophie because she was supposed to use that money to fix the house. Kevin asks Claire if he can give Sophie Claire’s family engagement ring even though they were already married. Claire tells the story of how her father carried the ring through the Korean War as motivation to get back alive and marry her mother. She refuses giving him the ring because he has to earn it first. He goes home to find that something happened bad happened between Kate and Marc.

Kevin works on set with M. Night Shyamalan. The PA who has his phone eventually gets it to him so he can answer Sophie’s call. Sophie tells Kevin that her mom died of MS. He flies to Pittsburgh for the funeral. He calls Randall to talk. Sophie gives a eulogy at the funeral about how much she never settled for less than what she wanted. Kevin goes to the reception with a box of doughnuts from their favorite place. When Sophie finds out he’s there, she asks him to take her out to try and forget about her grief for a while. He notices that since getting engaged, she’s still not wearing her grandmother’s ring. Sophie tells him that seeing him at the funeral gave her the strength not to break down during the eulogy. Kevin drives them to the spot in the woods where they were when Kevin found out what happened to Jack. They finally watch the end of Good Will Hunting and love it. They go back to Sophie’s house where Sophie gets the autographed headshot Kevin gave to Claire. Sophie leaves and Kevin goes to Claire’s grave. He apologizes for ruining his marriage with Sophie. He leaves a voicemail for Kate on his way back to the airport. Sophie finds her grandmother’s ring in a box of Claire’s stuff. He drops by Kate’s apartment only to find Madison there dog sitting because Kate and Jack are on a blind baby retreat. Kevin and Madison get to talking about their relationship struggles and end up sleeping together. Randall calls late that night while Kevin’s in bed. Kevin suggests that the three siblings visit the cabin. He calls Kate as well only for her to say that her marriage is falling apart.
