he is dead. Randall said this when he first met William

I just went back and watched.

Randall says "I was raised by two incredible parents. I have a lights out family of my own." Then he talks about his car. Then he goes off on William about abandoning him and how he doesn't want anything from him.

William invites him inside. They go back and forth about what William did. William talks about not remembering how he left Randall. Randall tells him screw you and leaves and then comes back and asks if William wants to meet his grandchildren.

Then there is the other William/Randall scene at Randall's house.

They come inside and Randall tells Beth he doesn't know why he invited William and cracks up.

The final William/Randall scene, Randall walks in and William is holding a picture.

William - "These people? They're your..."

Randall - "My parents....well, my adopted.....yeah, my parents."

William - "You been with them your whole life?"

Randall - "From the start. Fireman found me. He took me to the hospital and they were there. They said it felt meant to be. Just one of those lucky breaks, I guess."

William - "A fire station? Geez, what a thing to have done."

William says he should go and Randall invites him to stay. William tells him he's dying and they talk about that.

William - "Your dad must have been very proud of you."

Randall says nothing.

There is nothing said by Randall that indicates Jack is dead.
