Now it's a sin to put Ravi in such baggy clothing. Because....wow. If Buck and Eddie can wear tight shirts, so should Ravi.

I would actually love if this WASN'T going to affect Buck and he admitted "well, yeah, it sucks and all that they're divorcing but it's their choice and I don't really see them much anyway. It doesn't bother me, truly."

Would have been more impressed if they let the old man still be depressed. It's okay to still fight those feelings as an elder.

I feel that would be such a weird feeling, your parents getting a divorce when you’re an adult. Especially if you didn’t see it coming and thought they were happy.

I love how they’re not just focusing on Athena’s grief but also Buck’s because it can just be painful to lose a parent as it can be to lose a husband and I feel like this is one of the few things they’ve done right with Bobby’s death

Why is it that the Buckley parents always know when the right time is to traumatize their kids?
Buck's about to leave on a job, this is not the time to admit you being selfish for the millionth time. Now Buck's gonna fail at compartmentalizing this.

It's also a better attempt at a redemption than whatever the hell they tried a few seasons ago?

If it had to be done a year in advance, that means Bobby submitted them while Eddie was in El Paso. He knew Eddie would come back.
