After 18 episodes, we're still looking for answers.
The season may be over, but we have a lot of This Is Us questions.
NBC’s breakout freshman hit gave viewers quite a few answers over the course of the season, but in true This Is Us fashion, those answers brought upon even more questions.

Though we learned the answers to significant questions, such as Jack’s fate, a ballpark idea of when he died and who Rebecca is married to in the present, there’s simply too much ground to cover.
After falling in love with the Pearson family following the 18-episode season, we still have dozens of mysteries left unsolved. As we head into the long hiatus, we compiled a comprehensive list of all the answers we’re still seeking after This Is Us’ stellar first season.
1. Are Jack and Rebecca over for good?
2. How soon after Jack and Rebecca’s decision to separate does Jack die?
3. Who tells Kevin, Kate and Randall about their separation? Do they tell them the truth, like Jack asked? Who takes it the hardest?
