Warning… Spoilers below!

On This Is Us Season 6 Episode 14, Kevin spends time with three different women: Sophie, Cassidy, and the wedding singer, Ariel.

The Beginning of the Night

At Kate and Phillip’s rehearsal dinner, Kevin admires the wedding singer.

Randall claims that Kevin has been staring at the door and waiting for Sophie. Kevin tells him they’ve only seen each other twice in the last few years. Randall warns Kevin to stay away from her, and Kevin says everything is fine, right as Sophie walks in and they make eye contact. All of their history passes between them in a single second.

When Rebecca and Sophie reunite, Rebecca asks Sophie how her and Kevin are handling the long distance. Sophie is at a loss for words.

Ariel, the wedding singer, walks up and hugs Kevin. She’s claiming to get away from Oliver, a clingy friend of Phillip’s, but then says she’s a fan of Kevin’s.

A Whole Lot of History

Kevin walks up to Sophie, who just found out the airport lost her luggage. Sophie tells him that Grant got stuck in New York, and Kevin offers to drive Sophie around to buy more clothes and necessities.

Sophie goes to a dry cleaner and asks the worker there if they have any unclaimed clothes. She explains her situation, and the worker leads her to the back to browse. She revealed she learned the trick from her mom after the divorce, when money was tight and they had to go thrifting. Kevin wonders why Sophie never told him that.

Sophie goes to change, and has Kevin hold up the sheet to cover her. She steps out in a beautiful green dress, and Kevin can’t keep his eyes off of her.

Kevin starts talking to Sophie about the project with the working vets while they shop for groceries. Sophie tells Kevin she’s working as a travel nurse and has been in Berlin. After her mom died, she found a list of all the places her mother wanted to go, so she decided to make her own list.

The two share a longing look. Kevin tells Sophie that last year when Nicky fell and hurt his chin, his first thought was to call Sophie. She tells him that he could’ve called her.

They drive to a vineyard. Kevin tells Sophie that he’s glad that she found someone and that she’s happy. Sophie says she is happy, and then reveals that she is also divorced. 

One Step Forward, or Two Steps Back?

Flashing back to the engagement party, Kevin watches Sophie and Grant. He accidentally bumps into Sophie, making her spill white wine on her dress. Kevin and Grant meet.

While walking in the vineyard, Sophie tells Kevin that her and Grant had been over for a while. She tells Kevin she needed to make peace with it herself before she told anyone else. She asks Kevin if he’s been dating, and Kevin reveals his last relationship fizzled out like the rest. He’s choosing to focus on his kids after so many failed romantic attempts.

Later, Kevin roasts marshmallows with Madison and the twins. Him and Sophie make eye contact throughout the night. Kevin follows Sophie into the elevator, and they wordlessly head into his hotel room together. They kiss, but after Kevin makes a comment about Sophie’s hair smelling the same, she pulls away, upset. She wishes that Kevin liked how her smelled now, instead of how it was in the past.

She tells Kevin that Grant used to always pretend to fast forward through anything that had Kevin on the TV. Sophie says that was the moment she couldn’t do it anymore, because she’d never be able to fast forward through Kevin. He has a strong hold on her, and Kevin says she’s had the same hold on him. But that’s too much for Sophie. All of their history comes rushing back, and Sophie refuses to go backwards. She runs out, leaving Kevin stunned.

The Other Women

Kevin sits with Ariel at the bar. She reveals that she observes people and then writes song lyrics about them. She reads out her observation of Kevin, and hands him the napkin with the words on them. He takes it with him as he heads back to his hotel room.

In the hallway, Nicky runs into Kevin and comments on how bad he looks. Kevin tells Nicky he’s done with love, and Nicky says it’s for the best.

Cassidy walks up to them, and heads with Kevin into his room after asking for a minute with him. She says her dress zipper is stuck, and asks for Kevin’s help. She changes in his bathroom, and then Kevin tells her that Nicky’s advice was that him and Cassidy should get together. Cassidy assures Kevin that they aren’t each other’s person, and they both know that. Kevin agrees. They share a hug, then Cassidy leaves.

The Right Time

At the reception, Randall asks Kevin what happened last night. Kevin reveals that Sophie is divorced, and Beth is ecstatic that they cracked the case and goes to search for Madison.

Sophie stops Rebecca, complimenting her singing. Rebecca notices Sophie is upset, and sits with her. Rebecca thinks Kevin is still twenty, and tells Sophie that the timing is off, and that one day Kevin will be ready for her. She says when the timing is right, that Kevin will be amazing.

Kevin confides in Randall that he doesn’t want to hurt Sophie again after how much he’s messed up her life. He waits for Randall’s advice, and Randall spouts out a Superbowl analogy that Kevin doesn’t seem to understand. Randall says the world is insane and makes no sense, but that Kevin and Sophie together does make sense. He assures Kevin that he won’t screw it up this time.

Kevin finds Sophie, and she gives Kevin a speech about how she spent decades wanting Kevin to grow up, and he’s finally the man that she knew he could be.

Sophie is the best version of herself, and so is Kevin. She tells Kevin she freaked out and doesn’t want to become the old versions of themselves. She wants Kevin to love her for the woman she became, not the one she was when they were younger. She wants to do the same for him.

For his response, Kevin takes out his wallet, and pulls out an old Valentine. It flashes back to the first day that Kevin met Sophie, when he was writing Valentine’s in the classroom as a kid. He’s kept it all of those years.

Kevin and Sophie kiss, and everyone at the wedding applauds them.
