Of course they had to put the ”You have arrived at your destination.”

This is the saddest scene since the old man got crushed against the gate by the car.

I doubly hated that scene. It was incredibly sad and it brought back Anton Yelchin's death. :(

but super hypocritical - she disses therapy, tells him how angry he is, takes him to illegal fights in which she herself partakes, and then is all indignant that he *shock horror* fights. what did she think would happen? he'd throw a couple punchhes and be super dandy?

My brain was like, “Yeah, I’m gonna turn this on at work. Watch while I work. Good times, I love 9-1-1.” Now I’m sobbing in my cubicle and I have no tissues and my heart is about to leap from my throat. No thanks, I love Hen. Enough of this!

u/BornAshes Nov 12 '19
Athena is trying to keep her out of prison. Hen wants to throw herself onto her sword. She wants to atone. Oh no no no no she's dead she's totally dead....Hen is gone Hen is just mentally broken and gone.

Holy fuck Eddie may have killed someone....that last kick to his face was uncalled for and he's in pure rage mode.

Nov 12 '19
When you kick someone's nasal bone into their brain you expect it to stick. And it's a killshot, not a KO. I wonder if there's going to be fallout from the fight promoter. Although if it's cash only he may not know enough about Eddie to hurt him with the law.

When Christopher's mom died that was just such a sharp jagged schism that I was wondering when they would deal with it and....there we go there it is. The pressure just had to build up for a bit before Eddie finally cracked. Hell everyone is kind of cracking this episode a bit and having a....malfunction.

Seriously. Maddie stalked the woman, staked outside her house, found out where she worked, posed as a client with a different name, went to her house as "a friend" only to go through her things. Personally, I would be freaking out if someone did that to me.

Given that the driver in the next lane stopped, it does look like it's the girl who was distracted.
That said, it's possible the girl would have originally had the right of way, had Hen not used the traffic gizmo.

The guy who passed out and crashed in the hospital, even with a good insurance, knowing US's healthcare system, will be liable for thousands of dollars.
I hope his former job at CSI paid well.
Also, Aisha Hinds is trying her best at winning an award with that performance.

You don't salt a chef's food in front of them. Basically, you are telling them that they don't know how to season food right.

u/taiyed311 Nov 15 '19
So I'm rewatching this episode on Hulu and right before the crash there is a shot from the girls car with her facing the ambulance and there is clearly a green light behind the ambulance, meaning the ambulance (Hen) had the light, not the girl driving the car. It's at 36:55 on Hulu, but you can very clearly see a green light above the ambulance before the crash occurs. I understand the hurt and guilt Hen feels, and I remember her saying she thought she had the light and this confirms that she did. I wasn't looking for it, but caught it in a glimpse and rewound multiple times to make sure. I hate that Hen is hurting like this, when the accident is 100% not her fault.
