As we're all painfully aware, This Is Us [1] fans love theorizing about Jack's death, no matter how heartbreaking. And now that the crucial episode is less than one week away [2], the internet is going into overdrive coming up with fresh new ideas for how the Pearson patriarch will die in the house fire [3]. While one popular theory seems to suggest that Kate's dog will play a big factor [4], a new clue has us pretty much convinced that Kate will somehow cause her father's death [5].
Take, for instance, the movie Randall goes to see with his girlfriend instead of watching the Super Bowl with his dad: Titanic [7]. On the surface, it might seem like a normal choice for a teenager going to the movies in the late '90s, but two characters in the film might be a subtle hint about the next This Is Us episode, as pointed out by Reddit user maverickLI [8]. You see, the film ends with the main character, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio [9]), dying while saving Kate Winslet [10]'s character! Get it? Jack and Kate.
