This Is Us never shies away from heavy topics, and the same can be said with the season five premiere. In the episode, we see how the Pearson family reacts to real-life events like the coronavirus pandemic as well as the killing of George Floyd and the ensuing effect on society and the Black Lives Matter movement. We see Randall again struggling with his identity as a Black man who was adopted and raised by a white family. Later in the episode, Randall addresses his frustrations head on during a powerful conversation with Kate.
As Kate brings up "everything going on in the news" and tells Randall she's "sorry," he asks what she's truly sorry about. "Specifically, what are you apologizing for?" he asks his sister, who is visibly confused by the question. "You never apologized before and this isn't the first Black person to be killed on camera," he adds.
