The reactions to Randall going accidentally overtime during his live community announcement are priceless!!!

(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished all episodes of ‘This Is Us’ previous to Season 5 Episode 4, the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)

Even Beth telling Annie the reason she shouldn’t be allowed to view it...is just an illustration of how good the show is with set-ups and punchlines. They really were able to get a lot of mileage of laughs possible with this one.

(I didn’t even notice until rewatching the scenes that BETH and ANNIE turn at the same time when DEJA completes the message)

PS: And how about Annie talking like characters from classic novels? I didn’t realise that would be a result of watching Gerta’s version of ‘Little Women’.

PPS: You know what just hit me? That the humour is more focused on Middle Aged Kevin, Kate, and Randall. Maybe it’s just me? I don’t mind that they get the bulk of the laughter....it probably is just coincidence.

HIGHLIGHT:

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (SITTING ROOM) - DAY

DEJA couldn't believe what's happening. Shock is what it is...shock. Her eyes are glued to the screen.

DEJA Uh, Beth?

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) - CONTINUOUS

BETH is on her laptop, typing away. ANNIE is sitting on the kitchen nook working on her thing.

BETH Hold on, hon, I'm just in the middle of something.

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (SITTING ROOM) - CONTINUOUS

This is too bizarre not to be a dream.

DEJA Uh, o-okay, but Randall's taking his clothes off...

She stands and turns to BETH

DEJA ...in front of the whole city of Philadelphia.

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) - CONTINUOUS

BETH and ANNIE turn to DEJA.

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (SITTING ROOM) - CONTINUOUS

TESS runs down the steps.

TESS Mom? Dad's getting naked!

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) - CONTINUOUS

BETH smiles and turns to them. Is this some sort of a joke the girls are playing on her?

BETH What?

DEJA hands her the tablet.

Sure enough: Randall's shirtless and shimmying behind his desk.

BETH Oh, my G-- Tess, call your father.

TESS takes out her phone and attempts to ring her father.

INT. RANDALL'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

RANDALL's happily folding the shirt he took off. His back to us....singing---

RANDALL First you fold the left...

Some right shoulder action---

RANDALL Then you fold the right. Bring the hem to the shoulder. And press it tight.

He does as the song says and throws in some subtle dancing.

RANDALL Press it tight, mm, yeah.

He moves to remove his watch.

INT. BETH AND RANDALL'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) - CONTINUOUS

TESS throws up her hand.

TESS He's not answering!

DEJA Of course he can't see his phone..

They helplessly watch RANDALL go through his 'changing clothes' motions. Apparently this is now the step where he does a cross of 'Getting Jiggy With It' and 'Single Ladies'.

DEJA ...he's too busy dancing.

BETH Mm-mm, girl, that's not dancing.

RANDALL leans back and moves his shoulders.

BETH I don't know what that is, but that is not dancing.

RANDALL continues doing his 'moves'. DEJA watches in horror.

ANNIE Mom, I want to watch.

BETH hurriedly hides the tablet behind her.

BETH Hey, hey, hey. Annie, you know what? There's some things you can't unsee, baby. And this is one of them, all right?

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Derek is used to life changing moments. They are his sad, sad specialty.

 But nothing in his life has ever prepared him for the vision of Stiles entering the vast dance studio clad only in pale, tight pants and old dance shoes.

Stiles sends them all a look, rolls his eyes, then turns his back to them and starts stretching.

Went to the fitness center and I feel so much better now. I walked home from there as well. Starting to feel like I'm back on track today. I haven't done lunges in ages, so I didn't do very many, but it's something. I didn't do lat pull downs as the equipment is broken.

Kneeling push ups: 17, 13, 7

Squats: 10r/5#, 10r/5#, 7r/5#

Stretches from rehab

Lunges: 5r, 6r (each side)

Exercise ball crunches: 20, 15

Oblique Exercise ball crunches: 24, 20

Calf raises: 22r/10#, 20r/10#

Bent over dumbbell rows: 10r/15#, 10r/15# (each side)

My goal for tomorrow was to take a jog, but the weather says it's going to pour soooo I will dance to latin music alone in my living room instead. With the door locked. No witnesses. Shades drawn.
