As per the official synopsis for episode 3, Kevin and Madison try to navigate through challenges in their engagement. Meanwhile, Kate and Toby prepare for the next big step as they finally find a match in someone named Elle. Therefore, as the show progresses, fans can expect to see their adoption journey take centre stage.

Back in time, Kate, Kevin, and Randall are about to reach an important milestone, puberty. Rebecca and Jack prepare themselves for the same.

Meanwhile, a promo for "This Is Us" season 5 episode 3 promo teases Elle, Toby, and Kate's first meeting and they all look happy. Kevin and Madison appear to be having an important conversation about their relationship. And Beth gives her daughter a lesson on social media content.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Dan Fogelman dropped some hints about the upcoming segment and revealed that the episode will go back to "13-year-olds."

"We get back to our little ones, our 13-year-olds. There's one of those story lines that plays like a little bit of a mystery in the course of the episode — and then provide the beginning of an answer by the end. [Laughs] That's very cryptic," Fogelman said.

"This Is Us" season 5 episode 3 airs Nov. 10 at 9:00 pm ET on NBC.
