The real world has been particularly challenging lately.
But first, a quick refresher on what unfolded last season.
Then he has a one-night stand with Kates friend Madison and she winds up pregnant with twins.
Meanwhile, Kate and Toby go through a rough patch because Toby struggles to deal with baby Jacks blindness.
Elsewhere, Randall suffers another massive bout of anxiety issues and Beth convinces him to go to therapy.
Speaking of Rebecca, she is diagnosed with whats effectively early-stage Alzheimers.
This high-intensity verbal fight looms large in the season 5 opener.
What also looms large: the real-world events of 2020.
Things kick offwhere the finale left off, with Kevin returning to Madison after his fight with Randall.
The virus postponed Rebeccas trial so she and Miguel are quarantining at the cabin.
In California, Kevin stands on Kates lawn and tells her he knocked up Madison with twins.
Kate is happy for them, despite how strange the news is to her.
Kate and Toby
Kate and Toby seem worlds away from their problems last year.
The two are in peak relationship form.
However, toward the end of the episode, the adoption agency calls Toby about a match.
Later, they bond over the baby kicking and end up sleeping together again.
When the spotlight returns to the new sort-of-couple, they have a scare over the health of the babies.
Madison says she does, and then Kevin comforts her about the babies.
Then, in a roundabout, half-serious way, he suggests they get married.
She then mentions the marriage proposal.
Is Kevin deluding himself here, or is this potentially real?
Im still team Cassidy (or Sophie) but Madison could be here to stay.
We shall see…
Rebecca
Rebeccas health has improved in quarantine.
In good spirits, she convinces Miguel and Kate to let her go get birthday cake in town alone.
She’s escorted back to the cabin by police.
Her doctor confirms this and the family praises Randall for his catch.
Rebecca clearly thinks they need to hash things out further.
Randall learns about George Floyd shortly after congratulating Kevin on the babies.
Beth and Randall are not pleased.
Its clear Randall is deeply reeling from whats going on.
We can only hope it will happen eventually.
Randalls mother Laurel is unconscious or worse from an overdose.
William calls for help and soon EMTs arrive.
He calls his father and the two have a mostly tender conversation and some reconciliation.
William gets on a bus and doesnt go home.
In the present-day, Randall says he doesnt want any surprises for the year.
In the past, the second EMT tries once more to revive Laurel.
She takes a breath, and the episode ends.
