Senator Pearson! Randall (Sterling K. Brown) took a big step forward in his career during the Tuesday, March 29, episode of This Is Us, titled “Every Version of You” and directed by Justin Hartley.The hour kicked off with Randall and his family still at the cabin after Thanksgiving.

Deja (Lyric Ross) lashed out at her adoptive father after her boyfriend, Malik (Asante Blackk), broke up with her, assuming he did so because Randall told him to.

Deja left the cabin in the middle of the night to go see Malik in Boston. The next morning, Randall headed out to go after her, and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) offered to join him.Once Randall and Rebecca learned Deja was safe, they gave her some space to talk to Malik before going to pick her up.

In the meantime, Rebecca discovered that Randall had been approached by a retiring senator to replace him. He wasn’t sure whether he should run for office again because he had so much going on in his personal life, but Rebecca encouraged him to do it.Rebecca later recalled how Randall sacrificed for her over the years, especially after Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) death.
