Tonight, you'll see that dads are the focus when you watch This Is Us season 6 episode 3 online (which you can even stream without cable). The final season of the NBC drama is weaving together the past, present and future and as usual, making us cry every damn week.

This Is Us season 6 episode 3 start time, channel

This Is Us season 6 episode 3 is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight (Tuesday, Jan. 18) on NBC.

This Is Us season 6 episode 3 is titled "Four Fathers" and will show Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), Randall (Sterling K. Brown), Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Toby (Chris Sullivan) struggling to connect with their children. And judging by the photos NBC released ahead of the episode, a fifth father is in the mix — the adult version of Kate and Toby's son, Jack Damon (Blake Stadnik). He and wife Lucy (Auden Thornton) are shown grilling in their sunny backyard.

Meanwhile, in the past, Jack loses Kevin, who goes missing during the Big Three's first theatrical movie outing. In the present, Kevin struggles with missing out on some of the twins' milestones and Randall grapples with Deja growing up into a young woman.
