be in store for some of the much-loved characters in the final episodes of season three. He said: “We’re doing an episode that’s almost in real-time that was written by one of our writers

who’s a famous playwright, Bekah Brunstetter, and that’s essentially watching people sitting in a room for 45 minutes. That’s episode 15. “Then we have an episode that’s jumping through

different phases of Beth (played by Susan Kelechi Watson) and Randall’s (Sterling K Brown) relationship over the years. “So we’re going to see their first date, we’re going to see some other

major milestones. That’s Episode 17.” Speaking about the upcoming episode, titled Songbird Road: Part Two, Apaker revealed that the episode will delve deep into there relationship between

Uncle Nicky (Michael Angarano) and the rest of the family. He said: “He’s [Nicky] told them, ‘This is all I can give you in order to maintain my own health, I need to close this door.’ “It’s

about how do they deal with that as a family, especially Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore), who were so in it together.” WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN EPISODE 12? RELATED ARTICLES This

Randall. However, he did not confirm whether Beth and Randall's relationship will end in divorce after a previous flashback had teased their relationship is breaking down. Apaker

explained: “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of him [Nicky], how and when that is maybe a season down the road or it may be next week. “She’s [Beth] having this crisis about, ‘What do I

want to do with myself now that I had the rug ripped out from under me and I’ve been laid off from this career?’ “They’re also dealing with these kids who are all in really complicated

places. You know, Deja is just starting to fit in with the family, Tess has just come out, and there’s so much on their plates, and it’s about as a couple, can they survive that? “Can they

find a way to remember to put their marriage first?” WHEN WILL EPISODE 12 OF THIS IS US AIR?  This is Us returns to NBC on Tuesday February 12. (Image: NBC) Aptaker also discussed how the

entire show This is Us will end and said the cast and crew are planning roughly for three more seasons. He revealed: “From day one, Dan came in with his master plan for the big picture stuff

of the show and said, ‘I think this is where we end up. I think this is what I know. Let’s figure out the rest together.’ “So all of the writers and the actors really know everything. We’re

all pretty good at keeping secrets by now, it’s been three years, but it’s a total open book for everyone who works on the show, so there are no secrets from each other.” He added: “I would

hope that it’s elegant, that’s what we’re going for. I would hope that when we reach our ending, people think it’s a really satisfying end place, that makes sense, and it feels like they’ve

watched something that is a complete piece of work because that’s really how we’re trying to plan it. “Almost like you would a book or a super-long movie. We’ve had this end in mind for a

long time, so we’re able to plan for it, and try to make it feel like it’s a whole, as opposed to a series that’s going to go endlessly.” _THIS IS US RETURNS TO NBC ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12_
