I am so confused!  Who the heck is the woman in the military supposed to be.  She kept talking about her son.  Then she meets Nicky outside of the meeting.  I don't know if this is the past or the present, as they keep jumping the storyline around and it is starting to annoy me.

Cass served in the military and has now returned home. She is married and has a young son. The marriage seems to be hanging by a thread. Cass is in some kind of therapy group for those that have served in the military, Nicky threw a chair through the window, she was in the group. Cass I believe will meet Kevin on Tuesday's episode.

I think Cassidy might be Nicky’s estranged daughter. Alcoholism runs in families: Jack, Nicky, and Kevin, and possibly baby Jack. Maybe that’s how Cassidy fits in the storyline as a cousin to the Big Three.

If you are correct, than I'm totally off base of Cassidy being Kevin's baby mama!

Count me among those excitedly looking forward to the new season.  This show falls into my pantheon of certain TV dramas that captured my attention and fidelity in my adult years. 

In my time, I've loved St. Elsewhere, Thirtysomething and now This Is Us.  I'm so thankful for This Is Us because such shows are rare (at least, that I like).

@golding76  Ken Olin (from thirtysomething) is a director/producer on This Is Us.  When I saw his name in the credits I knew this show would be great!!

At first it was so confusing, I thought I was watching the wrong show, but then it all came together at the end. Fogelman loves to stir things up, making you use your imagination

@Shelbelle  I also checked and rechecked the channel I was watching !!  By the end of the episode I was begin to see the connection (or possible connection) with the  core characters. I watched it again On Demand to be sure !!

Timothy Omundson (sp) who plays a stroke victim and Kate's neighbor, actually had a stroke 2 years ago in RL that, according to him nearly killed him.

He is still recovering and his character is true to RL.

Wishing him the best.

He was also Lassiter in the show "Psych". 

I did recognize him but didn't know about the stroke in RL.

The one I didn't catch right away was Jennifer Morrison from "House".  I usually do not pay attention to the names of actors in the opening of most shows.  I thought she looked familiar and then it finally hit.  lol
