It feels futile for This Is Us to try to sell us on Mandy Moore looking bad in any haircut, but they use a lot of Peter Pan and He-Man references, so the effort does not go unnoticed. Not just any haircut! She gets the Princess Diana haircut. And so Rebecca does what so many of us looking for a change have done before and will continue to do until the end of time: She gets a haircut. Her routine of making her 6-year-old’s lunch and dropping them at school and going to the grocery store is so well trod that even the deli guys have resorted to calling her “Pound of Ham.” I mean, Pound of Ham? That is truly a fate no one should have to endure. How is the mustache born? We get a subplot about Rebecca feeling stuck in a rut. Of course, the follow-up question to this now solved mystery is, How does he make such ridiculous facial hair look so goddamned good? But I fear that is a question only Milo Ventimiglia and his DNA can really answer. It’s the origin of Jack’s porn-star mustache, and it is a true dream and, frankly, an honor to watch.
