We finally get a long-awaited look into the backstory of Miguel (Jon Huertas) and how he ended up being an invaluable person in Rebecca's life. Though he makes good on her commitment and takes proper care of Rebecca in her challenging years as an Alzheimer's patient, he neglects his own health in the process. When trying to get Rebecca indoors from the chilling winter snow one day, he slips and falls on his back, revealing his worrisome health conditions of high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and heart problems, among others. Though he begrudgingly agrees to the Big Three's request to hire a full-time caretaker for both Rebecca and himself, his ignored health issues catch up with him soon enough. He's managed to make amends with his estranged son in his final months, but he dies shortly after. In a touching moment, the Pearsons and Miguel's family scatter parts of his ashes at the bottom of the tree he planted in front of the cabin as a symbol of hope for Rebecca when they came to know about her diagnosis.
