Just when you thought you could finally retire from hogging the tissue box, Mandy Moore said that the last few episodes of “This Is Us” — especially the penultimate episode — are particularly gut-wrenching, so fans should brace themselves. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the actor admitted that she “threw up” after reading the script, as it hit too close to home.
“I will tell you that the penultimate episode, which airs in like a week, I threw up after I read it,” she recalled. “And maybe that’s just because it’s really close to the bone for me. Like, this has been my life for the last six years… so there was a lot wrapped up in it. But I still think that you might need a day off from work.” Chrissy Metz, who plays Kate Pearson, also revealed at the 2022 PaleyFest that she had a physical reaction while reading the same script. “You can’t catch your breath, and then you really can’t breathe because your nose is stuffed. I told Dan, ‘I need some help. I need some Advil,'” she confessed at the time, per NBC News.
While the series creator refuses to share more about what will happen during the finale, he is confident that it will leave fans with zero questions. “My hope is that by the end of the series, there is no stone left unturned,” Dan Fogelman told Entertainment Weekly. “It will set us up for a very beautiful and simple ending to the entire venture.”
