^^ posted that question on the page before in the thread

I really don't know what they can do after the death to keep us as interested in the show.

I agree. I like the show a lot and will continue to watch, but there isn't much left too the story after they reveal his death. They'd likely need to introduce new characters, but anyone added now just wouldn't really make sense.

They already showed how it happened. Like 10 years after jacks death Miguel friend requested her on Facebook. And the rest is history.

I always think I'm gonna make it through the episode, and then out of nowhere a scene happens that kicks me in the stomach.

Slid into the DMs like a boss

New ep bump

Boy they are teasing the hell out of this house fire that's potentially incoming with that last shot of the episode

I still don't think he dies in a house fire. I mean obviously the house burned down, but I don't think it was the cause of his death.

I agree that it may not be that house fire that kills him.

We know that Kate feels responsible for the death, so something has to happen with her....

Just can’t figure it out

I don't know. I think his death is related to the fire and that he probably dies of smoke inhalation saving everyone else or the dog or something like that. Don't know if he burns.

He bought that suit for Kevin. If it survived the fire, then Kevin wears it to the funeral, I assume. Jack said he hates suits. I feel like that's going to be significant in some way in the future. Maybe they don't bury him in a suit because of that?

Randall asked the red headed girl out. Isn't she the one who was in the scene shown previously after Jack's death when Kate says she has to tell Kevin?

I'm not sure I'm thrilled about the venture Randall wants he and Beth to take on. I feel it's going to cause a lot of disagreements between the two of them in having different ideas and with the financial cost.

Miguel is now (ETA corrected from "not") becoming the likable character. They are confirming he had no love interest in Rebecca before Jack died or even immediately thereafter, but that's he's there to stay and protect her in whatever way he needs to do so. I think we're eventually going to see the kids' reactions when they finally start that relationship after Jack's death at some point and that will be interesting.

I still can't figure out why Kate feels guilty about Jack's date, unless it's related to saving her or the dog, but that seems to obvious. Maybe it has to do with her finding a dress that actually fit, but then trying on the size too small and acting like a brat after that causing her Mom to forget the batteries?
