'This Is Us' Season 1 Episode 15 Recap: Rebecca, Jack's Fight Raises Some Difficult Relations
The Valentine episode of the TV series "This Is Us" turns out to be as opposite as the Pearson couple had a crucial part of their marriage life-- their first major fight. Aside from this quite less romantic highlight, the episode would also revolve around Randall's saddening problems and his trip with William.
