This Is Us Season 5 Spoilers – Complicated Adoption Story
Toby and Kate have one child, but they will decide to move forward with the adoption process. This was foreshadowed last season. Recently, Metz spoke with Entertainment Weekly and talked about the season 5 storyline. The actress teased that the adoption would be a complicated story. She suggested that family dynamics might be more of an issue than the adoption process itself.
Now, we know that they must be successful because in a flash-forward we met their daughter, Hailey Damon.
This Is Us Season 5 Spoilers – Baby Hope Damon’s Birth
This Is Us fans saw how many family members arrived at the hospital. They were there because Jack Damon Jr. (Blake Stadnik) and Lucy Damon (Auden Thornton) were welcoming their child into the world. One of the people that came by is Hailey, but Toby and Kate were not seen. You would think that they would make it to the hospital to meet their grandchild, so this sparked some theories.
This Is Us Season 5 Spoilers – Death Speculation
One of the most talked-about theories is the reason why Toby and Kate were not at birth is that they were already dead. This certainly is possible. The show hasn’t shied away from death before. After all, Kate’s own father, Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) died from complications following a house fire. The “Big Three” were still kids at the time, so the death made a mark on them.
This Is Us Season 5 Spoilers – Chrissy Metz Squashes Tragic Theory
However, based on Metz’s chat with the publication, it seems like Toby and Kate might not die before Hope’s birth after all. The actress suggested we might be reading too much into the couple not being seen. She said,
“The camera could have just been really wide and they could be right at the door. Maybe we’re reading too much into it.”
Of course, Metz wouldn’t be able to reveal any solid spoilers, especially one as huge as character deaths. So, we will just have to wait for This Is Us season 5 to premiere so we can find out for ourselves.
