On today’s episode of That Was Us, we’re diving into Season 6, Episode 9: The Hill. As Kate and Toby struggle to reconcile the lives they want with the future of their family, a visit to San Francisco forces them to confront just how much they’ve changed. Meanwhile, flashbacks to the Big Three’s childhood reveal Kate’s long-standing struggle to imagine a future for herself and the courage it takes to take the next step.

* Kate and Toby’s growing differences as they realize they want different things for their family

* Kate imagining “Old Toby” during intimate moments and struggling to reconcile who he used to be with who he is now
