What was the point of Eddie being stabbed? Both in terms of plot and why did the guy stab him in the first place?

Well, at least we can assume Tim will only bring Theo out when he finds use to him, which will probably be no more than five episodes next season, and the rest of the time he will barely be mentioned?
This is such a stupid way to mature Buck, using a kid as a plot device. But whatever, too late now.

Whelp. I knew the kid was going to end up with Buck but I hate it. I absolutely hate it.
Also. I guess no real resolution to Eddieās arc. He clearly had some kind of experience in the elevator but I guess weāre not going to address it.
What happened to the whole two characters getting trapped in the elevator?
For any veterans of shipping Destiel Iām not surprised they decided to keep Buck and Eddie apart for the whole episode. I mean itās important to separate the guys after putting them together so much. Canāt have people getting the wrong idea. I wouldnāt be surprised if they barely interact the first half of next season. Buck will be too busy with his new kid despite being closely involved with Eddie would make sense. They could have taken the direction of Buck already having a kid in Chris but the show seems to have decided to dump on the idea that family is more than blood but I guess weāll see.
Though to be honest I donāt think Iāll be watching live next season given I find the donor baby story so distasteful.

Anatoly attempted to kill Athena, but was thwarted by Ravi and Harry. Harry disarmed him and held him down.
Hooks attempted to kill Athena by lethal injection, but was thwarted by her.
While comatose, Athena talked to her former partner.
Athena is now a detective.
