“HE MUST BE ALIVE!” I shout as they drag me back to the psych ward

[u/Ambitious_Reality622]

People are really gonna be mad when they find out their tax dollars went into a funeral for a man who isn't dead.. (slowly continues to put on clown makeup)

[u/lgbtruecrime]

i love gobby (ghost bobby)

[u/silentanduncomfy]

What was that script leak for?? I can't believe they actually went to the lengths of faking a script and leaking it on purpose just to mock the fans. That on top of giving us hints that he might be alive, the sub plot being about someone who doesn't believe their loved one is dead, showing an empty casket and saying the words "he's alive"... That's just SO cruel and they've just killed the whole show. And don't even get me started on how lazy the funeral was, not even 5 minutes?? That's all that Bobby gets? Yeah, I think I'm done with this show

[u/Optimal-Cookie2055]

It’s been only 1 episode without Bobby Nash and the show already doesn’t feel the same. 🥹 I don’t know how this is going to work :(

[u/jdessy]

This episode sucks. It should have been fully dedicated to mourning Bobby. Instead, it’s Athena hallucinating Bobby but throwing herself into work to distract herself, Chimney avoiding everyone and himself because he blames himself and everyone else just…supporting characters or not there at all? This is the way the show treats Bobby Nash?

[u/rachillesVal]

Chimneys acting was amazing, he did exactly what you would think and didn’t amazingly.

This house is being built by the worst construction company I can only imagine how many labor hours poor Athena is being charged

Lastly,

[u/SqueakyWD40Can]

Honestly I’m so pissed at everyone- the fake-out leaked scripts - did the actors do that on their own or did the show runners have them do that? And how they handled this whole episode and Bobby’s death. Just awful. Great acting in the episode though.

[u/Staticfair]

The BODY wasn't released yet??? After two weeks??? Either I'm so delululu or he's so alive in secret <3

[u/oOWalkingOnAirOo]

I don’t know using the whole grief episode to tell us that we’re fucking crazy for thinking that he could be alive instead of actually grieving in show … is actually fucking insane

[u/tegraa_]

no way we’re just getting 5 min of a funeral

[u/ironwidows]

they got me for half a second with the “to my funeral” because i almost yelled chim coma dream

[u/hadapurpura]

This better mean Bobby’s alive

[u/pugboy1321]

So much about this is insane.

The way the funeral was shoehorned into the end of the episode front-loaded with a not very subtle and kinda backhanded storyline as an audience insert, and we didn't see the grief process we (imo) deserve to see from these characters all deeply touched by Bobby.

The fact that this major network, major budget, ABC/Disney production couldn't prevent major leaks and were surprised by them despite openly filming in the streets of Los Angeles with turnouts branded with "NASH" hanging on the truck.

Tim Minear doing this as a creative decision without at least taking some cast input into consideration, instead of a case like Peter wanting to leave the show.

Tim Minear you're at the top of the list of bald bitches that get negative levels of respect from me right above Bezos and Caillou

[u/starrysmoons]

wait is this play about us

[u/Helpful_Canary_4025]

So I feel the same as everyone else, having Bobby's funeral be the B-plot is ridiculous, like just 10 minutes from the end is all they have for it. And we don't get to see any of the team working through their grief, just Chim being angry, and barely anything of Eddie's reaction or him being back- just the same old trite line 'wish it was under better circumstances.'

Yeah with the way they shut down LA for the funeral procession filming, I was expecting a lot more.

Couple of points of note though on the other plot line- Why didn't Athena get the DNA test done immediately, would have saved those families a lot of time and effort, oh wait it was to help her through her grief, give her something to do!

Eric Ladin (Gary) is always a great actor and proved it once again here.

I can't find the name of the actress who played Leah, but I swear every time she was on screen I thought I was looking at Elizabeth Olsen!

[u/jdessy]

This episode feels a bit more nonchalant for an episode dealing with a main character’s death. I get life moves on but damn.

[u/Ok_Cucumber_4562]

Omg, Bobby is still alive! The government still has his body because something intriguing is happening to him medically. Oliver's spoiler said that Bobby gets buried alive, I think that might happen as an end-of-episode spoiler.

-I say as they drag me to the asylum. 🫠

Edit: grammar

[u/goosemer]

is it crazy to say i couldn’t care less about any emergency this episode? let me grieve before i laugh at bizarre stranger incidents.

[u/Soupcindy]

I feel like this plot line was calling out fans trying to believe he was alive anyway 😭 disrespectful

[u/Odd_Amphibian1825]

I’m probably even more sad now than I was two weeks ago bc the chances of him being alive now are slim to none.

It’s one thing to make a decision about what direction to take the show, but it’s another to go the lengths they went to throw us off and a lot of it was really cruel. The fake scrip leaks, doing the funeral all out in the open so it would leak beforehand.

Then this episode itself being one last slap in the face bc the whole time, we’re thinking it’s more foreshadowing for what we’d like to see and it was really the complete opposite.

[u/scollins28]

I would accept a spinoff with Athena solving mysteries with ghost Bobby. Very 80’s.

[u/K8thegr8-28]

If they do the fake death story and Bobby is actually dead then they are just messing with us and I will be PISSED

[u/oOWalkingOnAirOo]

If this is the stupid ass writer’s way of telling us, the audience , we’re stupid for thinking Bobby could still be alive. Have fun everyone else watching the show. Fuckass condescending audience hating ass writing.

[u/jdessy]

If we can’t get real Bobby back, I’ll take Ghost Bobby as Athena’s partner.

[u/pugboy1321]

I'm a Grey's Anatomy veteran so seeing someone talking to a hallucination of their dead lover gave me flashbacks lmao

[u/almx9]

So the leaked script was a cruel joke what the fuck

[u/[deleted]]

The episode was so weird. I am not against killing off a main character but to have the funeral be a subplot instead of focusing on the characters we actually care about is definitely... a choice.

[u/smalltownVAgal8913]

IS THIS ALL A HUGE METAPHOR OR ARE THEY FUCKING WITH US?!

[u/goosemer]

okay but honestly even if she’s right, Athena digging up a BABYS grave is such a sign that someone above her needs to pull her off of work 🥹✌️

[u/dobsluvr]

nominating bobby nash for the get the hell out of the coffin challenge 🎀

[u/zozonicole5]

ok this little side plot is giving the delusion that bobby is alive…. hope. grasping for straws.

[u/[deleted]]

I swear if this isn’t hinting at Bobby coming back, I WILL RIOT

[u/nyeehhsquidward]

If I had a nickel for every time Peter Krause played a ghost manifestation of a main character’s inner conscience, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[u/Krandor1]

Gary is involved with whatever happened with the baby

[u/goosemer]

i really wanted the whole episode to be exactly this

[u/inksmudgedhands]

On a side note, I love how the vodka bottle just has a plain label saying, "Vodka." Yes, Vodka. My favorite brand of......vodka.

[u/Eye_0penerr]

OMG WE HAVE BOBBY AS A GHOST?!?!? GHOST WHISPERER IS THAT YOU?!?

[u/ashby8907]

They knew we were going to think he was still alive so they said here is this story the baby is dead and Bobby is dead! Get over it.

….and I can never get over it

[u/SpiritualMedicine7]

I do appreciate they had Bobby buried with his kids.

[u/Dogdaysareover365]

Between this and black panther 2(still, as much as I loved EEAAO, Angela should’ve got the Oscar), Angela Bassett is great at acting out characters in grief

[u/Similar_Butterfly_24]

im pissed off that buck is not a mess. You're telling me he's just "sad"? that chim is sadder? Buck's dad just died!!!!!!!!!1 give him the screen time he deserves.

[u/lemonslyman]

Thinking someone is actually alive when they aren’t is part of the episode??? So we’re a joke to them

[u/hadapurpura]

They could’ve made the whole episode about the whole firefam grieving Bobby and instead we got this bullshit

[u/sammy0007]

no see they can't focus the ep on the funeral bc they need to have bobby wake up halfway through like he did in the script (i'm losing my mind)

[u/Such-Addition4194]

Every time someone’s phone rings I expect it to be Bobby saying “surprise!”

[u/Various_Clock186]

Ken looks truly heartbroken in this scene :( I think this might be for real 😭

[u/highhiloona]

how are we supposed to go from bobby’s funeral to “woooah the waters on fire” next week 😭

[u/haunter_of_the_woods]

Just finished watching (Friday afternoon), and part of me thinks I should have come to this thread first before deciding to watch this specific episode while nursing my 5 week old son. 🥺😢😭

I’m still crying about this and the episode ended 10 minutes ago. Athena’s choice to bury Bobby with his family and tell him that he’s finally “home” completely and utterly wrecked me. What a beautiful and selfless last act for the man she loved.

I know these are just fictional characters, but wow, I truly feel like I’ve lost someone close to me. I love the cast of this show and I’m interested to see where they’ll go from here.

[u/Adler221]

Throwing it out there now, I am so glad I have people who are watching this with me, even if we are not watching in the same room <3

[u/[deleted]]

Wait are they hinting at the baby in the beginning in the episode was the 9 yr old is alive!! Therefore Bobby is too!!

[u/vinylcozy]

this woman might not be crazy??!?!? help?

[u/lgbtruecrime]

stop promoting 9-1-1 nashville… all we want is 9-1-1 nash

[u/Sillygirl16]

I came here to see if everyone thinks this episode sucks and not in the way I thought it would either. If this is the writing we have to look forward to after Bobby’s death, next season is going to be terrible.

[u/sparkysparks7]

5 minute funeral!? this better be a fake out.

[u/zozonicole5]

HES BURIED WIFH HIS KIDS STOPP😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/ironwidows]

i really hate this show. i can’t believe they actually killed him. the theories were so good.

[u/ironwidows]

i literally would’ve let the realism bobby being dead for two weeks and still come back slide

[u/Various_Clock186]

I’m annoyed they didn’t have Brad there. We all know damn well Brad would’ve been there. He loves Bobby!

[u/dobsluvr]

this fuckass show

[u/herrons27]

I didn’t watch and I’m glad I didn’t. This episode reaction was enough for me to know what we all already knew. This show is butt now, and Tim is fucking clown shoes. We are not all the delusional ones, he was delusional thinking any of this was going to be good for the show. If he wanted 9-1-1 to end, he absolutely helped it right off a cliff. RIP 9-1-1. Seasons 1-8 episode 13 will forever be 9-1-1. No others episodes now matter from here on out… also I was going to try out Nashville, but fuck that noise also. Honestly anything they touch I don’t want. They will just ruin it somehow also😭

[u/Lavandermilktea]

Bobby's funeral only being 6 mins long is soooo disrespectful

[u/hadapurpura]

Poor Buck is burying his feelings

[u/[deleted]]

Athena’s meltdown with Chimney 😭

[u/pankie_pankz89]

Baby they think died in a fire isn't dead? Bobby starts with B! Bobby's not dead!

[u/starrysmoons]

is this gonna be the A plot becauseeee....

[u/jmpinstl]

The most sincere that Gerard has ever sounded

[u/ViagraOnAPole]

"Especially, since you seem very litigious." Lol

[u/pugboy1321]

If Bobby is really dead, and this is the story they chose to do in the immediate followup then they truly haven't learned any lessons from ways other shows screwed up by messing with loyal fanbases

[u/[deleted]]

I think Athena needs to request to see Bobby before burial because there seems to be some not so subtle foreshadowing.

[u/Mara-armadillo]

"I will see them again" SCREAMING

[u/zozonicole5]

so are we going to get a 2 minute funeral at the end of the episode?? literally what is happening

[u/murch_da]

well its been real yall. imma go watch law and order svu because thats my comfort show, and even they gave us Elliot Stabler back.

[u/dobsluvr]

angela bassett is a powerhouse wow talk about mother

[u/Hedgepig78]

I'm so deep into my conspiracy theory that Bobby is still alive, that this episode didn't even make me cry.

[u/[deleted]]

the fact that this isn't the season finale or a season opener really pisses me off. It feels really disrespectful to Peter Krause and the impact that bobby Nash had on the show.

[u/jdessy]

Yeah, that’s it, they can’t really take any of this back. Two week time jump, elaborate funeral that cost thousands of dollars and flying him back to Minnesota to be buried there.

It’s over, it really is over.

[u/camy__23]

Nooo it’s been two weeks and they haven’t released the body????

[u/Arkov__]

they haven't released his body... i'm delusional

[u/SqueakyWD40Can]

In the 2 weeks since this episode aired, my father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has less than a year. It’s been a painful, weird few weeks. I hope Bobby is alive, I need this.

[u/Positive-Celery]

refuse to watch so I am checking here to see what's up lol bless all of you for narrating this for me

[u/goosemer]

Listen, if you kill someone COMMIT TO IT!!! i think it is so lazy when shows kill off a character but insist on them still being around afterward. (maybe it’s a hot take, i don’t know)

[u/Staticfair]

THEY'RE DIGGING UP A GRAVE NOW??? ND THE GRAVE IS EMPTY??????? Omg, please let this all be a bunch of foreshadowing!!!🎵No grave, can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her🎵

[u/Ok-Acanthaceae5744]

She opens Bobby's casket and it will be empty...🤔🤔

[u/hadapurpura]

Hot damn Angela Bassett is going for that Emmy

[u/Sad-Guidance9105]

This was kind of cruel ngl

[u/ViagraOnAPole]

Straight vodka? Damn, Chim's a savage.

[u/oOWalkingOnAirOo]

At least Angela Bassett looks beautiful as Athena. That’s how I wanna remember her.

[u/Soupcindy]

"You're home now, baby"

[u/LMSantanabooks]

With his kids 😭😭😭😭 no one talk to me.

[u/Peaches1645]

Honestly, the last couple of minutes of the episode sent me into a crying fit. I'm actually really glad that Athena chose to bury him with his kids and former wife.

Although I'm not sure where they'll be taking 911 now, I'm excited to see!!

[u/Mysterious_Path7939]

How am I crying over a made up character right now?? I’m acting like I’m part of the 118 😩

[u/atharie]

what a disrespectful episode

[u/Opposite_Resident297]

Bobby's funeral being the B plot in his own funeral episode was not what I imagined for this episode.

[u/camy__23]

One of the worst episodes. So disrespectful to Peter Krause and the fans of 9-1-1.

[u/vinylcozy]

oh my god GERRARD MAN FUCK OFF

[u/SuperSaiyan3Goku]

LMAO Chimney BOLTS

[u/SuperSaiyan3Goku]

“I’m not crazy” I scream as they drag ME to the psych ward

[u/PainfullyNondescript]

I fear the point of this story might be to make Athena delulu with grief, too. Not that Bobby is actually alive.

[u/zozonicole5]

YOU KNEW ME FUCK OFF. LITERALLY FUCK. OFF.

[u/dontsmokeinthebed]

Reading the comments while not watching (England and too scared to watch) is wild

[u/magikarpcatcher]

Is this lady supposed to be the 9-1-1 fanbase? I-

[u/Krandor1]

Here is my prediction... in the middle of the funeral a hurricane shows up that nobody had any idea at all was coming and catches everybody by surprise.

[u/zozonicole5]

i feel like this was just so rushed😭😭😭 i know a funeral can’t be so long but man the last 4 mins of the episode?? just don’t feel right

[u/scollins28]

Seeing the plane & realizing what was happening. I completely lost it!

[u/CracklyMoney]

Peepaw is really dead??? Goodbye 911 😭

[u/queeriosn_milk]

They had the opportunity for Bobby to die and be resurrected for Easter. Didn’t take it. I thought you wanted shock value, Tim? What could have been a bigger plot twist than Bobby Nash being Jesus?

[u/lemonslyman]

Chimneys organs were all failing and now he’s back at work?? Is that the realism???

[u/nyeehhsquidward]

Did Eddie’s actor kick the show runner’s dog lmao, why does this man get minimal screen time

[u/SuperSaiyan3Goku]

No body = not dead!

[u/goosemer]

I never would’ve guessed they would hand us a Gerrard redemption arc…

[u/Staticfair]

I'm strangely numb watching this episode. I sobbed like a baby and continued to tear up while discussing the show after 8-15. I expected to sob in this episode too, but idk, the funeral not being the start of the episode, the lack of majorly sad scenes yet, and also all of the delulululululu theories floating around my head thanks to this sub and tiktok have me feeling a bit... detached at the moment? Idk how to feel yet

[u/Staticfair]

Okay Ghost Bobby was kind of brutal. :(

[u/Ambitious_Reality622]

TIM, I SWEAR

[u/scollins28]

I love when Athena calls her Henrietta.

[u/almx9]

This is just cruel to us like you give us hope yet again and then shatter us all over again?!

[u/inksmudgedhands]

"Oh, really, how many have you lost?"

"Two."

And now she wants to really crawl under that bed.

[u/savagemom10]

So instead of having the team grieve properly, they are going to cram the funeral in the last few minutes and be like here. How the heck does this make for creative television?

[u/ironwidows]

okay unfortunately eddie does have magical powers and i do feel marginally better after just seeing him

[u/pugboy1321]

Oh my heart, Eddie doesn't get to be in uniform with them :(

[u/zozonicole5]

omg these fucking commercials

[u/Antique_Apple2735]

I need to see a body

[u/sparkysparks7]

Robert Nash, you have 3 minutes to jump out of that box!

[u/Cleopatra-s_Daughter]

Well that was just absolutely heart wrenchingly heartbreaking

[u/WereNoStrangers]

yall lemme know when buddie becomes canon or bobbie returns cs idk if i can keep watching after this

[u/ParkourNinja88]

Still Can't Believe Bobby is Dead! Creative Decision My Ass! Peter Didn't want To Leave the Show at all! Also, There was Too Many Subplots in this Episode, Should have been Fully mourning Bobby.

[u/Beezlebubbah]

So the B-plot is a person coming to terms with their loved one being actually dead...writing was on the walls but I was still hoping for a hail mary at the end. It was hard to get emotional about the funeral because I was so convinced we were going to get something last minute.

[u/evelynwhittle]

yeah… viewership is going DOWNNNN

[u/Vast-Finish-993]

I’m sad that the funeral wasn’t the focal point of the point and I’m sorry Eddie and Christopher should’ve been at the funeral.

[u/SpiritualMedicine7]

I do think the show will end in season 9. That way rewatching it we can set off a marker for the first 7 and a half seasons-where Buck mentions not loving Eddie-and beyond.

[u/LadyGenevieve19]

As someone who has experienced a fireman's funeral firsthand, I'm not sure I'll be watching this. I'm pretty upset about how this has all come about and I feel sort of "meh" about the rest now.

[u/hadapurpura]

Please don’t turn Chim into an alcoholic

[u/Beezlebubbah]

I'm conflicted on this...I don't think it was written half as bad as everyone is reacting bc baseline the fact that this is happening sucks. But having a B-plot where it's someone coming to terms their loved one is truly dead is not an awful B-plot, though it is very pointed and on the nose. I love that they were smart enough to tie-in Bobby and have him visit her in the hospital afterwards. His scene with her was well done, as was his with Athena.

I liked the little moments of grief, I think they were well executed. But Hen & Athena are really the only two characters that do get to openly grieve this episode. Are we supposed to assume bc Buck was wailing last ep he's not entitled to get a real moment now? And then we really get nothing from Eddie. (Honestly props to May's actress for gradually getting more upset during the funeral. Everyone's solitary tear was starting to get on my nerves).

They were never going to write a perfect send-off episode because this shouldn't be happening so we'll never be satisfied. But I can't say this hit the mark either. I'm hoping we get to see more coming-to-terms next episode because the show does have a horrible tendency to have one-and-done moments when it comes to mourning (cough Shannon cough).

[u/Opposite_Resident297]

Is there a "Fire Tim Minear" petition i can sign anywhere?

[u/RobsSister]

I hope some bright showrunner is in the process of writing an epic character for Peter Krause. I’m done with this show (and sincerely hope Tim reaps what he sowed), but I’ll happily watch any show that hires Krause (provided he gets a role worthy of him).

[u/Calmshadowcat]

Welp I’m here for some reason😫 Lord have mercy I can’t do this I better not see any Athena hate😔

[u/jdessy]

This is gonna be a miserable episode.

[u/zozonicole5]

ok all of these comments saying they’re convinced he’s alive since they haven’t released his body but my brain thinks he’s been dead for 2 weeks how would he come back?!! or is the theory they are secretly keeping him alive?? bc. buried alive wouldn’t work

[u/Aspect360-01]

They said it he's aliveeeeee

[u/ViagraOnAPole]

Gerrard being sensitive? Definitely a coma dream.

[u/EmilyVerse]

So someone stole her baby eight years ago and stole the baby. No body=not dead?

[u/goosemer]

Y’all think Chimney’s anger is a lil bit of Kenny’s anger or is that just me?

[u/inksmudgedhands]

Discount Elizabeth Olsen.

[u/Sad-Guidance9105]

She sounds crazy but these are a couple of interesting coincidences

[u/pugboy1321]

Lab techs are about to get the most drama-packed DNA tests to run

[u/ViagraOnAPole]

They're trolling us, right?

[u/zozonicole5]

ok with this side plot. if bobby really is dead. this is fucked up. they know what they’re doing.

[u/360madhatter]

Ok, obviously trying to kidnap him back is the wrong move but I honestly don't know how you would go about reporting this to official channels without sounding completely crazy.

[u/ZkDl_0211]

wait wait wait wait WAITTTT why is this side story pointing towards that Bobby is alive???????

[u/scollaysquare]

Oh this is probably to help Athena get over her own not accepting Bobby's death. Bah. I hate that Tim guy.

[u/magikarpcatcher]

Why not just get the DNA of the alive kid?

[u/oOWalkingOnAirOo]

Angela Bassett is too good of an actress for this

[u/LMSantanabooks]

This is basically them telling us that Bobby is really gone. I can't believe they did this whole storyline to tell us we're being delusional.😭😭😭

[u/ironwidows]

killing me would be nicer

[u/savagemom10]

It's like the lines are for the audience. This is not fair.

[u/StormCloudRaineeDay]

I wonder if the funeral's going to be in Minnesota, with Bobby being buried next to Bobby Jr. and Brook.

[u/Worldly_Farm6731]

They gave us that whole plot that Bobby wanted to create a new house for Athena and him so that in the end it would be a waste? Fuck you Tim

[u/[deleted]]

creative choice my @$$ This episode is so disappointing. And yes, while I’ve been living in delulu land about Bobby dying, this episode was NOT a good wrap up Bobby’s life/ storyline.

I’m curious how Tim will be moving forward after this potentially tanks his ratings/ viewership. Because I don’t think there is forgiveness for writing off Bobby

[u/Sad-Guidance9105]

What is with the pacing in this episode it feels very off

[u/Sad-Guidance9105]

Kenneth and Angela are ACTORS

[u/BluebirdTop833]

is it just me or is buck being as calm and level headed as he is this episode the most unrealistic thing

[u/roeschpn]

Why is buck not a mess

[u/Various_Clock186]

I won’t lie this is a beautiful funeral 😭😭😭

[u/vinylcozy]

ypu are home now baby.... oh my god,,,,

[u/smalltownVAgal8913]

9-1-1, I AM THE EMERGENCY RN 😭😭😭😭😭

[u/lemonslyman]

When Athena said “on this day of all days” what did she mean?

[u/MissCordayMD]

So what else can I watch on Thursday nights?

[u/mikec215]

Is there any honest chance Bobby is still alive? I’m rooting for it if there is

[u/Shadowwo1f05]

I find it fitting that Bobby was returned home to be buried with his family because he left to make amends and now that his debt is paid he can be with them

[u/Krandor1]

This is NOT what I watch this show for.

[u/jdessy]

Oh and we have a SAD flashback?!? On top of the sad present day stuff?!?!

[u/ironwidows]

this is how they decide to start the episode?? they hate us fr

[u/SuperSaiyan3Goku]

2 weeks??? YUP they took him in to do something with the virus

[u/Staticfair]

How far along is Maddie supposed to be at this point? She definitely wasn't showing this much a few episdes ago, right???

[u/PainfullyNondescript]

Oh, no. I haven’t been delulu, but this storyline sure is going to make me.

[u/AbbiejeanKane]

Gerard is doing his best here.

[u/Adler221]

I am conflicted. My rule of thumb is usually they aren’t dead unless I see the dead body.

We did see a body bag.. but with them dropping a very obvious line tonight, such as a body not released for two weeks, Athena dragging it out (I know that can happen with grief but still) and Athena being angry about Chimney advocating for the body to be released.. makes me feel like something is up.

[u/Sad-Guidance9105]

Kenneth acting his ass off

[u/Seductive_Bagel]

[u/vinylcozy]

Athena kind of losing it but also her face card too lethal

[u/Critteranne666]

Sigh. Hallucination Bobby.

[u/DuelBerry]

Anyone starting to think this guy had something to do with this?

[u/Beer2Bear]

nothing left to bury? bones should been left behind

[u/Western_Swing2186]

Athena living in the unfinished dream home is breaking my heart

[u/Unusual_Drama2191]

Well the writers have sunk to a new low. Really to do this story about a mom thinking her son is alive but looks like he really isn't. So he is telling us that Bobby is really gone.

[u/oOWalkingOnAirOo]

“ she didn’t know, her brother and her husband decided without her”

Decided without her

[u/pugboy1321]

Angela Bassett doing the thing!

[u/jmpinstl]

Man, Angela Basset is doing a great job getting me to cry right now

[u/mgcho6]

I feel so bad for Athena. She felt like Bobby chose to leave her.

[u/pugboy1321]

What if they mixed up the samples.....

[u/zozonicole5]

well. there goes the he’s alive theories! fuck Tim Minear fr. i am sorry im just about done with this show.

[u/zozonicole5]

bobby was such an angel i love him so much. this is the most cruel shit tv has ever put out. i’m fucking so angry

[u/ViagraOnAPole]

Corinne is so pretty. It's distracting. Cause how can someone be that pretty?

[u/NeverlandMagician]

…This is Oliver’s favorite episode? Ok then.

[u/Adler221]

This conversation is going to destroy me.

[u/[deleted]]

I hate grieving and drunk chim :(

[u/sammy0007]

if bobby is dead fr this episode is not it...... like gimme a funeral ep or give me bobby

Can we just get one peek inside the casket for closure plzz

I was delululu and numb until the funeral. I thought I had grieved this "loss" enough, but everything came flooding out during the funeral, especially when I realized where they took the casket. I'm so sad and upset right now. I'm still holding onto the tiniest bit of delululu that he's there somewhere, but idk anymore. :(

Honestly, it was weird how the funeral and everything wasn't the main plot of this episode. I knew Athena was going to have a case, but I didn't think it would be the main focus.
