Whether you watch This Is Us or not, you have probably heard about the character Jack and the emotional rollercoaster of his impending death. Though yesterday the waiting game for his death has finally come to an end. It was clear that every fan of the show was pretty anxious to see what the next episode in the third season (that aired yesterday after the Super Bowl) would reveal. Which ended up being the final farewell to one of the series' most loved characters... or so we think.
While we kind of did know how Jack died, we didn't exactly know the full story. Going into yesterday's episode we knew for sure he died thanks to a slow-cooker shorting out. Though we didn't know how everybody else made it out of the house safely while Jack did not.
It turns out Jack went back into the house not only to save the dog but also to grab family mementos such as Kate's audition tape, family photos and the cards that his kids gave him for his birthday. Yeah- cue the tears now. While he got out of the house seemingly unscathed, fans of the show knew Jack wouldn't make it out of this episode alive- ending up dying of cardiac arrest when Rebbecca wasn't looking.
