We open in a bowling alley, on Rebecca and Jacks first anniversary.
For the anniversary that frames Vegas, Baby, however, Rebecca wants a break from feeling upstaged.
She just wants to put the three kids to bed early and watch TV with her husband.

Of course, Jack not going all out for Rebecca feels plain wrong to the kids.
In the present, things are much more complicated.
Unfortunately, the Pearson boys are a little distracted.
Last we saw onThis Is Usbefore the Olympics, Deja had shown up on Randall and Beths doorstep.
We pick up where we left off in that regard.
We need $89.34, she admits.
I didnt know where else to go.
Randall obliges, but hes not about to let it go.
And then theres Kevin: Still in recovery, trying to stay on the straight and narrow.
At dinner, things start off smoothly enough.
He takes care of people, Kevin quips.
Toby loves their back-and-forth, affectionately calling it the famous Pearson rivalry.
But both eventually lose interest.
Kevin, still preoccupied by his steep recent downfall, spots an old castmate and darts from the table.
Suddenly, Tobys left alone with the fillers.
At least Madisons there to talk her way through any awkward silences.
Its a sharp contrast to where we find the bachelor side of things.
Randall, meanwhile, takes the call from Deja.
Its just hard to call when my moms around, Deja says somewhat cryptically.
Were making it work.
Their blow-up gets deeply personal and ugly.
Hes my husband, Beth reminds her.
Kates reply stings: I know: Hes made it perfectly clear whos more important to him.
And you thought Tobys bachelor party was going south?
(Look forward to learning more there.)
You will never lose me, not even if I tried, Randall tells her in a sweet moment.
The same cannot be said, exactly, for Randall and Beth.
They finally do, a reminder of their tenacity as a couple.
They knock on the window and Deja wakes up, alarmed at the sight of them.
Jack then muses on the meteor shower, reciting what Randall taught him about their science.
Meteors are always up there, whizzing around we just never notice them, he says.
Its only once in a while that we actually see one, just how spectacular they really are.
You are my daily meteor shower.
