This Is Us: New Photos Sure Make It Look Like Kevin and Sophie Are Definitely Back On

Based on new photos from next week's episode -- optimistically (or ominously, depending on your POV) titled "What Now?" -- these two look like they may be updating their statuses to "In a Relationship, for Realsies (Again)."

In these photos though, Sophie's ice looks like it's fully thawed into water...that might be thoughtfully placed on a nightstand when her bae Kevin wakes up in the morning.

Hard to know whether this gazing happens before or after this photo below, in which she's looking at him like she wants to collapse into his arms -- but only after he swears on a stack of Manny DVDs that he'll never hurt her again.

Outside the theater that's home to The Back of an Egg, the absurdly titled play Kevin bolted on to go tend to his brother Randall (Sterling K. Brown) when he was having a scary anxiety attack.

[...] what does seem certain -- based on another shot of Kevin in front of a dressing room mirror -- is that his decision to bolt on the show at the last possible minute didn't get him kicked off of it for good.
