We’re coming up on just a month until Season 2 of the NBC hit This Is Us premieres on Sept. 26, and I’m more than a little excited for the show’s return. The network obviously knows how deprived fans have been this summer, and in true MVP style, an extensive sneak peek of a scene from the upcoming season was released via the show’s Twitter account, Refinery29 reports. Spoiler alert: it’s a tearjerker (of course).
The clip, which is a whopping three minutes, shows Mandy Moore‘s Rebecca and Sterling K. Brown’s Randall in the present day, discussing the possibility of Randall and his wife Beth adopting a child. As the scene turns into a flashback, Rebecca then explains how she and super dad Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) knew that adopting a newborn Randall was a good idea.

Call me a crybaby, but Jack’s persistent love for creating this family gets me every time. Rebecca admitting that Jack wasn’t perfect also gets my brain churning for more theories about his death.
While most of the cast shared the show’s exclusive peek on Twitter, Chris Sullivan, aka Toby, chose today to rile up fans in a completely different way.

“Watching them film the scene where they explain how Jack dies,” the actor casually wrote. Um, you can’t just say that so calmly, Chris!
It’s safe to say that the This Is Us fandom is ready for this long wait to be over. We need tears, we need answers and we need them now.
