Yes, just every bit "This Is U.s." wrapped up the first half of its third season, information technology was revealed that decades from now, Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and his adult daughter — along with Toby and at present Beth — are going to see "Randall's female parent," every bit Beth puts it to her employee (apparently she's running a ballet company now?), who she obtains a Pin the Tail on the Donkey game from, every bit she prepares to join Randall and girl on this journeying.

The episode also concluded with a fight betwixt our Present Day Beth and Randall, because Randall refused to driblet out of the city council race, when the polls show he won't win and his wife asks him to surrender and come back to helping his family unit.
That spat led to Randall sleeping on the couch, and a not and then happy vibe between the happy couple in the present, with some hints in the time to come indicating the 2 are only communicating between Adult Tess. Does that hateful they separate or fifty-fifty divorce?
