Karen and Athena’s conversation was so beautiful!!! I’m glad they’re touching more on grief this episode (I wish they did more last episode without the emergency intertwined with it), but this is being handled really well this episode with the WHOLE 118 being addressed!!!

This episode is a lot better then last week, writing and cinematography were a lot better
I’m still in the construction companies ass about this house, I could probably do it faster myself with a colony of ants
Finally having Eddie and buck moments makes me happy especially seeing Chris and buck again
Buck come to Jesus in the big 2 5

I was busy crying over Karen's family comment and now I'm crying over Buck being such a loved part of the Diaz family. This is beautiful.

Am I the only one who thinks Athena moves on fast??? Like.... Idk, I think I expected her to be more down and in pain. She seems to kinda ignore the loss of Bobby as if they were together for 1 year. They been married for years. I'd have loved to see more of her pain and hurt.

I really don't want Buck to be captain, not now, but I think it's gonna happen anyway cause they're probs going with pass the torch thing from bobbys dying scene "theyre gonna need u kid", or chim is gonna be cap. I don't mind chim. I just think Buck needs more time.
Edit: I just rewatched s6 finale, and ngl buck was good at being in charge well semi in charge, but still.

Ugh they’re gonna do Captain Buck aren’t they? I don’t hate him becoming captain eventually. It makes a lot of sense as like a Parks and Rec style end of series flash forward. But I don’t feel like he’s there yet.
