“You will see that the end is not sad, Rebecca. It’s just the start of the next beautiful thing”. Beyond powerful.

R.I.P. Ron Cephas Jones, who has passed away at the age of 66 due to a long-standing pulmonary issue, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to his family. Throughout the course of his career, his warmth, beauty, generosity, kindness and heart were felt by anyone who had the good fortune of knowing him.

The fact that William was her guide is my absolute favorite moment of the entire series.

[waldenwonders]

It’s crazy.. The child who was saved instead of Jack goes on to find a cure to Alzheimer’s disease later in life. And the fact that Jack spoke with his father moments before Jack died and he explained the lemons story. Damn, that episode was incredible.

The Train was a wonderful way for Rebecca to see her life play out. I loved how William was her guide. Then her talk with Dr. K. They played a big part in her life so I thought it was a perfect fit to say goodbye to them as well. I loved how Beth told her that not to worry, she’s got it from here in taking care of Randall. I also liked how Sophie and Toby got to say their goodbyes and leave it to
Toby to say something funny. Then seeing Kevin and Randall with their younger selves. That was so sweet. I was hoping we’d get to see them again before it ended. Rebecca waiting for Kate. And then of course, being reunited with the love of her life, Jack. Her final destination. I feel like Rebecca passed when she closed her eyes and then that’s when we see Jack. I’ve been watching from the beginning, but I think this truly was my favorite episode. It was beautifully done. I was hoping that Miguel had a few more lines tho. He loved her and took great care of her. But it makes sense that maybe he didn’t because he knew Rebecca loved him, but he wasn’t Jack. Ah! I’m gonna miss this show so much

William really delivered Morgan Freeman vibes here. Solid acting.

[johnnykalloniatis]

Honestly one of the best speeches full of hope and inspiration in a crazy world we live in. What show this has been.

[peronekat]

I love how when William died the family took a walk and now he's walking Rebecca when she's dying 🥲

[anamkhan]

this episode was on another level. cried a million times

[heyarmyyounicekeepfighting]

One more life lesson from our beloved William he’s a true gem touched us all in ways we can’t explain🦋

[noahsmith]

If this show taught me anything it’s that when it’s time to go remember what you’re leaving remember the beautiful things in your life

[Dan-ysnk]

Brilliant end for 2 amazing characters. Thanks for this incredible journey over the past 6 years.

[laurawhalen]

This has been one of the best series I've ever seen
Thank you Pearson family for taking us along on your wonderful life journey, what a ride it has been

[theasterarchive]

this whole episode was beautiful. there was no better person to say these words to Rebecca than him

[jmacjr]

And this is after everything that William has endured in his life. Losing his wife and his child and placing him for adoption. Losing his mother. William was such a brilliant character!

William is and will undoubtedly remain one of the characters that had the most impact on me from This is Us... He had such a big heart, such goodness and such pure wisdom... And that's why I find It's wonderful that it was him who accompanied Rebecca for the last moments of her life... Once again, he made me cry with a magnificent speech as usual... William I love you forever and ever... Thank you🥺🤍
