We finally know how Jack Pearson died after last night’s special post-Super Bowl episode of This Is Us.

His death is traumatizing viewers across the country, so much so that many are praying to God that he is returning. But wipe your tears away, everyone. He’s not going anywhere.

The show’s have assured the world that while we lost Jack, Milo Ventimiglia isn’t going anywhere, thanks to the drama’s time-hopping structure.

“When they learn what happened to Jack, I think people are going to find themselves surprised with their own emotion,” Milo told Entertainment Weekly in January. “I really think people are going to have a hard time accepting it, but what they should know is that even when we do find out Jack’s death, it doesn’t mean that Jack goes away. That’s a good thing to remind people of — I’m not going away from the show, Jack is still around. There is still so much story to mine in this world of This Is Us.”

“Milo is No. 1 on the call sheet — he isn’t going anywhere,” Mandy Moore told People last September. “He is our leader. We call him our actor department head. If you want to know what’s going on in the show or have a question about something, Milo, without fail, has the answer.”
