So far, we know that the Pearson clan is visiting Rebecca (Mandy Moore), whose health appears to be rapidly declining. Additionally, we learn that the entire family is gathering at the home Kevin (Justin Hartley) built next to the family cabin in memory of his father, Jack (Milo Ventimiglia). While we've received our first looks at several characters, one who is noticeably absent is Miguel (Jon Huertas).

Is Miguel alive in the future on ' This Is Us'
Episode 15 of the final season, simply titled "Miguel," finally gives Miguel his moment to shine. Not only does the hour-long episode dive into the character's backstory, but it also chronicles his death — yes, Miguel dies at the end of the episode. With Season 6 now transpiring in the future, viewers see a deteriorating Rebecca and an even older Miguel functioning as her primary caregiver.

Every morning, Miguel wakes up at 5:30 to sort his and Rebecca's medications before he plops himself in a chair in Rebecca's line of sight (that way, when she wakes up at 6:45, the first thing she sees is her husband).Article continues below advertisement
If y’all would’ve told me 6 years ago I would be crying over Miguel after this scene I would’ve thought you was on crack or something #ThisIsUs pic.twitter.com/jaTppyWrJt— Jordan (@queenjordan94) May 4, 2022 Audiences also receive brief glimpses of Miguel's visits to the doctor; we learn he had a hip replacement, has high blood pressure, and recently began experiencing shortness of breath during exercise. Unfortunately, Miguel's health only worsens when he has to coax Rebecca back into the house one night after finding her outside, twirling around in the snow. When leading her inside, Miguel slips and falls, badly injuring himself.Article continues below advertisement
The Big Three realize Miguel isn' t taking care of himself
Once Kevin catches sight of the massive bruise on Miguel's back, he and his siblings come to the conclusion that it's time to hire a full-time aide for Rebecca.

Initially, Miguel refuses and insists that he won't leave Rebecca's side, saying he will not fail her like his other loved ones. But, after Randall declares they are doing this for him, Miguel quietly accepts.

A montage soon follows, showing the at-home health attendant taking care of Miguel and Rebecca. However, when Billy Joel's "And So It Goes" starts up, our hearts drop to our stomachs because we know things will get teary very quickly.

As time passes, Miguel's health starts declining: his heart is in poor shape, and he starts using a cane. Also, Kevin is around a lot more to care for his mom and stepdad.

And the fact that Kevin was the one who helped reunite Miguel with his son and the two of them are the ones who went to Puerto Rico spread Miguel’s ashes?!

After Kevin was so anti-Miguel? #ThisIsUs pic.twitter.com/WEsJ8dDpI3— shwibr (@shwibr) May 4, 2022 After showing a happy family gathering, the scene switches to a more heartbreaking sequence involving black clothes and no Miguel. Ultimately, his ashes are scattered in two significant locations: at the base of the apple tree in front of his and Rebecca's new home and a field in Puerto Rico where he played baseball as a kid.
