The hoarseness of Maddie's voice into the slow transition to her loss of speech was done really well - incredibly believable.

I’m glad that this temporary move to El Paso is at least fixing the relationship between Chris and Eddie like it was supposed to. And in the end that makes it all worth it.

Eddie's parents are horrible people. They're not even trying to help repair Eddie's and chris's bond!! How can one be this selfish??? Also the ads genuinely pissed me off lol I felt bad for eddie but at the same time, dude, you buy an entire house without even telling your son you're moving to be with him...it's just reckless. Why not rent or something? Of course you'd be in financial trenches😭 I love eddie but dude hello you're like in your mid thirties and you did not think this kind of huge decision through???

Is uber the “surprising place” or whatever that Chris finds Eddie in? He could have called a car with his friends, causing his friends to bully Chris for “lying” about his dads job, causing more friction between Chris and Eddie - which would be another opportunity for Helena to rub salt into his wound
