Yeeeaaah, it was a baad week for Randall Pearson (Sterling K. Brown). The newly elected, ever-striving city councilman has been doing a doozy on his marriage recently.

The second and third episodes ofThis Is Usthird season did not delve back into the flash-forward Who is her? mystery involving Old Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Adult Tess (Iantha Richardson).
