'This Is Us' Season 2 News: What to Expect After That Big Kate Bombshell
The previous episode of "This is Us" season 2 dropped a surprise in the form of a baby bump.
It was revealed that Kate (Chrissy Metz) is pregnant, a story arc that was planned for the character since the first season of the hit drama series.
While Kate is happy that the pregnancy is moving forward right on schedule and that she is healthy as shown in "This is Us" season 2, she has chosen to keep it as a secret. Chris Sullivan, who plays Toby, explained in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:

For their situation, it could be any number of reasons. The state of their relationship, they're not married yet, pregnancy is a delicate thing. The couples I know wait until the first trimester's over sometimes because there are a lot of things that can happen. Kate has a history of not wanting to get her hopes up for things.
Kate, however, will break the big news in "This is Us" season 2, episode 5 titled "Brothers" with the synopsis teasing that she will surprise him at work. Speaking about the possible reaction Toby will have, Sullivan said:
I think Toby's a pretty positive person. He seems to have pretty upbeat reactions to most things, so I can't imagine he would react any differently to that.
He imagines that the two will be able to adjust, despite the fact that they have agreed to take things slow between them as fans have seen so far in "This is Us" season 2.
Hopefully Toby and Kate will stay focused on each other, and we'll see how it all comes out the other side.
Indeed, big challenges are coming in the relationship of "This is Us" season 2 and Sullivan teases that "it's going to be a lot of thinking on their feet — and trying to do what's best."
"This is Us" season 2, episode 5, "Brothers," airs Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
