She also exorcised a failed-friendship demon from the past while telling Kevin ( Justin Hartley) that he needed to let Madison ( Caitlin Thompson) pursue a romantic relationship on her own terms. Meanwhile, Kate ( Chrissy Metz) felt like she was still in a long-distance relationship with Toby ( Chris Sullivan), who was home but more married to his phone. And in this act, she realized that her purpose was in helping others, drawing us a big step closer to the boss Beth that we glimpsed in the deep future, lording over the world (of dance). Beth proved to be his opposite, serving as a model mentor to an underdog aspiring dancer in whom she saw so much of her young self. She faced down old demons by finally telling chilly ballet god Vincent (Goran Visnjic) that he had lifted her up but then simply dropped her with a thud when he didn't see a future for her. She began her new job at the City Ballet of Philadelphia, trying to launch a competitive scholarship program that would help the underdogs like she once was. In "Our Little Island Girl: Part Two," though, Beth would take center stage by staking her claim in the wings. But Beth often plays a supporting role to those around her, which has meant backgrounding her own desires. On This Is Us, Beth Pearson has served as the glue, the rock, the voice of logic, the bottom-liner with the one-liners - however you analogize her, she is the MVP at Pearson East HQ, and she always does it with a sparkle in her eye and sometimes with a glass of wine in her hand.
