And then the baton of Pearson pain was passed from Kevin to Kate.

But now: shock and awful.

Thats for another day, though.

Right now, read how Metz vividly brought Kates pain to life in Number Two.

I assume this was the biggest low you were referring to?CHRISSY METZ:For sure.

Theres so many reasons why I think its important.

I was a little disappointed, I was like, Ohhhhhhh.

And its not because you deserve them or because youre a terrible person, but just life happens.

Its not what happens to you but how you react to it.

But she wont let it break her.

And shes like, Okay, so lets practice the birthing scene.

So then when she texted me, she goes, I cant talk to you right now.

She literally could not talk to me, she was so devastated and so upset.

Shes like, We practiced together!

Im like, I know!

Well get to that moment in a minute.

That was a really big deal for her to not go to the food.

Thats an easy and comfortable crutch for her.Especially with a loaded plate.

Adult Kate tells Toby that she feels like she failed him after the miscarriage, which also isnt true.

This was her miscarriage, not theirs.

It happened to me; it didnt happen to you.

You truly dont know, and you cant compare.

But at the same time, Toby is valid in his feelings and his heartache.

Its just a different kind of grief.

Weve never seen them actually relate to one another.

Theres going to be a breaking point.

Its like when Kevin shows up for Randall at his office and takes him in his arms.

Its a Pearsons-represent moment.Right.

But this is the most significant breakthrough in their adult relationship to date.

Where does this take them moving forward?

So, yeah, were definitely going to see them closer and getting closer as time goes by.

Shes never been heard.

Toby knows, but he doesnt really know.

Sterling is just captivating.

And hes preparing to go off to school.

We did a scene the other day that was, like, epic.

I mean,yeeeeeahhhh.

Its like a 12-minute scene.
