My mom died 10 years ago, unexpectedly. It’s the hinge upon which my life swings. Jack’s death is the Pearson hinge. We look back. We move forward. That’s our collective journey. Sad? Yes. But when you look through a wide enough lens - it’s also outrageously beautiful. #ThisIsUs

Final scene we shot with Milo. True story: after two-seasons of dealing with screaming babies in every timeline, this child ended things by sitting contentedly in Milo’s arms like this for the entire scene. #ThisIsUs

Our friend, Alex Hanan, is watching TV tonight from above. Spoiling every single reveal for everyone up there, driving everyone nuts. Thank you George R Martin for making what would turn out to be Alex’s last year. And thanks to all involved for making his favorite show.

A thought on tonight: Our show was never just about what happened to Jack. But these next 2 episodes are. It was a defining moment for this family and we will experience and feel this with them. The performances are extraordinary. Our cast is insane. #ThisIsUs

Shot this scene over 2 (3?) consecutive days and nights at a house in Altadena, CA. Only time whole cast was really together - just sitting in that house hanging, laughing. There was so much coverage. Directors had to attack scene like a rom com action sequence. So much fun.

Tonight's ep got me. A tremendous script by @iaptaker and @bergernight , directed by the great @kenolin1 . And my God, what a showcase for @MiloVentimiglia + @TheMandyMoore . Ours is a show made by optimists and there is beautiful soul-raising uplift at the end, I promise. #ThisIsUs
