A family trip to the pool dives deeper in this week’s episode of ‘This Is Us.’ Here’s how you can watch Season 1, Episode 4 live, on TV and online.
Even a trip to the pool isn’t just a trip to the pool on NBC‘s This Is Us. The show continues to find ways to turn the small things into big explorations.
Season 1, Episode 4 is called “The Pool” and centers around the family deciding to hit the pool on a hot summer day, but instead of relaxing Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) wind up realizing that each of their kids has a different obstacle to overcome.
Elsewhere in the episode we then see each of them – Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) – dealing with challenges in their present-day lives. It goes without saying that the show will find a way to tie everything together.
You can watch a teaser for “The Pool” at the bottom of this article.

After three weeks This Is Us is still a strong performer for NBC though it hasn’t found a steady ratings number yet. Second episode “The Big Three” dropped the show from 10.07 to 8.75 million viewers, though last week’s installment “Kyle” brought that figure back up to 9.87.
Still, when The Voice – the show’s lead-in and NBC’s biggest series – is doing roughly 11 million, having near 10 shows that this series is an unquestionable hit.
