(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Tuesday’s “This Is Us.”)
Malik (Asante Blackk) had just one job to do on tonight’s episode of “This Is Us,” and because he couldn’t do it, Randall (Sterling K. Brown) might find out that his birth mother is alive. If that doesn’t track for you, allow us to break it down.
At the top of the hour, titled “Honestly,” Deja’s boyfriend, Malik, arrives at Randall and Beth’s house in Philadelphia to accompany Randall to work, shadowing him for a day in the life of a city councilman. When they get to the office, Randall decides to give Malik the fairly simple — but very important — task of starting and stopping his daily livestream news bulletin on cue.

Election Day put a two-week-long pin in “This Is Us” fans’ plans to find out what happened to Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) biological mother, Laurel (Jennifer Holmes), after the Season 5 premiere revealed she did not actually die in childbirth as viewers — and the Pearson family — believed. But with Tuesday’s return of the NBC family drama, we got an itty bitty piece of the puzzle through the introduction of two new characters.
Tonight’s episode, “Changes,” opens on a scene of an older Vietnamese man (played by Vien Hong) and his young granddaughter (Brandilyn Cheah) fishing. We return to these two unnamed characters twice more in the hour, first to see the man in his kitchen preparing the fish he and his grandchild caught, telling her how he learned to cook because he wanted to “impress someone very special” to him.
